Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A message reached the program from Tabuk, signed by one of the sisters at the end, saying: Your sister in Allah, Umm Hudhayl. Umm Hudhayl says: I hope the Shaykh will mention to us the most important books that discuss creed and the oneness of Allah, as we hope they will be comprehensive and sufficient, so that we may be on clear guidance and certainty; because in our daily lives we repeat many words, or actions and beliefs, that negate the oneness of Allah without us realizing it, for example: swearing by other than Allah, and also: amulets, and believing in the awliya (close friends of Allah). What is your opinion of the book *Tawhid* (The Oneness of Allah), which is the right of Allah upon His slaves? Do you advise us to buy it? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Yes, we advise every Muslim to buy it, and every Muslim woman as well, the book *Tawhid* by the Shaykh and Imam Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab (may Allah have mercy on him). It is a good and beneficial book, in which he gathered evidence from the Book and the Sunnah regarding many matters of shirk (associating partners with Allah), matters of bid'ah (religious innovation), and forbidden things. So it is a beneficial and good book; we advise acquiring it and memorizing it.
And likewise its commentary titled *Fath al-Mujid* by his grandson, the Shaykh 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Hasan. I also advise acquiring it, as it is a beneficial commentary.
And likewise its second commentary: *Taysir al-'Aziz al-Hamid* by his grandson, the Shaykh Sulayman ibn 'Abd Allah ibn Muhammad. It is also a beneficial commentary.
And we also advise the book *Kashf al-Shubuhat* (Clarification of Doubts) by the Shaykh Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab (may Allah have mercy on him). It is also a beneficial book.
And likewise: *Thalathat al-Usul* (The Three Fundamentals) and *Al-Qawa'id al-Arba'* (The Four Rules) by the Shaykh Muhammad. It is a beneficial and concise book.
And likewise *Al-Qa'idah al-Jalilah fi al-Tawassul wa al-Wasilah* (The Noble Rule Regarding Seeking Nearness to Allah and the Means Thereof) by the Shaykh of Islam Ibn Taymiyyah. It is a beneficial book. And likewise: *Al-'Aqidah al-Wasitiyyah* (The Middle Creed) by him as well. It is a beneficial book on the Sunni Islamic creed.
And we also advise the book *Zad al-Ma'ad fi Hady Khayr al-'Ibad* (The Provisions for the Hereafter in the Guidance of the Best of Creation) by the scholar Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him). It is a great book, which includes an explanation of the correct creed, the Prophetic biography, and many rulings regarding prayer and other matters. It is a good and beneficial book. Yes.
