Question:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence, the father, the questioner asks: What is your Eminence’s opinion of some people’s statement that what the contemporary, non-specialist Muslim student needs from books of 'aqidah is five percent? Because these books have been inflated by disputes and political conflict over the issue of the caliphate, intellectual conflict, and philosophical issues such as the creation of the Qur'an, the names and attributes, and divine decree and destiny.
Answer:
This is empty nonsense that indicates ignorance or atheism and hostility toward tawhid (the oneness of Allah). This is empty nonsense that should never be paid any attention to. Yes.
