The Good Method for Learning Aqidah and the Books Recommended for Beginners
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
These two questions are similar. The first asks: What is the good method for learning the correct aqidah? And the second asks: What books do you recommend for beginner students of knowledge? May Allah preserve you.
Answer:
The books, praise be to Allah, are numerous, but the issue lies with the teachers who teach these books.
I say that a student is either in formal education in schools, madaris, or colleges. In that case, he studies the prescribed curriculum. Tawhid (the oneness of Allah) accompanies him from the first year, from elementary school to the final year until he graduates from the university. Tawhid is a required course for him every year. He studies the prescribed books on aqidah, progressing in them step by step until he graduates from the university. This is sufficient, praise be to Allah. The books are with him and the teachers are available to him. All he has to do is devote himself to learning tawhid and make the most of his time until he understands tawhid. The second group are those who are not in schools, madaris, or colleges. These people turn to the scholars in the study circles in the mosques. You should attend the study circles in the mosques under the guidance of scholars. The books are numerous, praise be to Allah; some are concise, some are intermediate, and some are lengthy. But the flaw lies with the teacher; this is what is required.
