The Gradual Study of the Hamawiyyah and Wasitiyyah Creeds
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner says: I want to study the Hamawiyyah creed, but some of my brothers told me that I must study the Wasitiyyah creed first in order to understand the Hamawiyyah. What is your advice to me?
Answer:
Yes, seeking knowledge is done gradually; it is not taken from the highest level, but taken gradually, bit by bit. One does not reach the level of the Hamawiyyah unless he has studied the summaries that come before it. We studied *The Three Fundamental Principles*, *Kashf al-Shubuhat* (Unveiling the Doubts), *Kitab al-Tawhid* (The Book of Tawhid), and *Al-'Aqidah al-Wasitiyyah* (The Middle Creed), and then we reached the Hamawiyyah. It is necessary to proceed gradually in seeking knowledge, bit by bit. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
