The Absence of the Wasitiyyah from Certain Matters of Creed

Question:
Some of the meticulous scholars, in their commentaries on the *Al-Wasitiyyah* Creed, mentioned that Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) did not address ten important matters of creed in this creed. They cited, for example, the ruling on judging by other than what Allah has revealed, loyalty and disavowal, and the signs of the Hour. What is your opinion on this?

Answer:
He undertook to mention all the chapters of creed in this treatise. He only took up one important aspect and dealt with it, while the other aspects mentioned by the questioner are found in the simplified and lengthy books of creed. The questioner should refer to the lengthy works, such as the commentary on the *Tahawiyyah*, the commentary on the creed of al-Safarini, and other lengthy books of creed and books of the Sunnah. He should review them, as they contain these important chapters. It is not necessary for an author, if he writes a treatise or a book, to mention everything related to this discipline.
Rather, he addresses the issue he deems worthy of research. Since the Shaykh lived in a time when the authority of the Mu'tazilah, the Asha'irah, and the deniers of the divine attributes had emerged, he focused on this aspect and clarified it to the utmost degree. He also focused on the worship of graves, shrines, and the Sufis in other treatises and other books. Yes.
