The Best Concise Books on Creed
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: What are the best concise books on creed?
The best concise books, in my view: *Al-'Aqeedah al-Wasitiyyah*; because it is entirely based on the Book and the Sunnah, consisting entirely of verses and hadiths. *Al-Tahawiyyah* is not bad, but it contains much repetition and splits the same topic apart. You will find, for example, that it discusses the will at the beginning of the book and at the end of the book. So I see that a person should study *Al-'Aqeedah al-Wasitiyyah* by Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah before any other book written on this subject.
