The purpose of this book is to present the most basic knowledge of Islamic Creed (Aqidah). This type of knowledge is never optional, because unless your creed is in accordance with the Noble Qur'an & Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), your good deeds can be at risk. Purity of intention, how to believe and what to believe, and love of Allah -- are all matters of belief and creed, whereas the acts of worship like Zakat, Salat, Hajj, and Fasting are deeds that may be counted positively only if the belief aspect is correct.
The Delight of Faith is a hardcover creed book authored by Abdullah bin Jarullah and translated by Jamaal al-Din Zarabozo. This 117-page volume aims to present the most essential elements of Islamic Aqidah (creed) for every Muslim, emphasizing that correct belief — in accordance with the Noble Qur’an and the authentic Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ — is foundational. Without sound Aqidah, deeds such as prayer, fasting, zakat, and pilgrimage, no matter how perfect outwardly, may not attain their due reward.
The book covers purity of intention, what to believe in Allah, how to love Him, and how belief shapes a Muslim’s worldview. It clarifies what creedal matters are obligatory, such as belief in the unseen, oneness of Allah, prophets, angels, Books, the Last Day, and divine decree. Written in clear, accessible language, yet grounded in scholarly tradition, The Delight of Faith guides the reader to examine their own belief, to understand what leads to safety in faith, and what may endanger it. It is suitable for students, new Muslims, or anyone wishing to revive and strengthen their creed, serving both as instruction and as a reminder.
Bound in a 6×9-inch hardback format, this book is durable, portable, and crafted to be read and reread. It is both affordable and well-priced, making it a good investment for individual study, mosques, classes in Aqidah, or gifting to those eager to deepen their understanding of what they must believe.
