Al-‘Aqidah Al-Wasitiyyah (2 Volume Set) by Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (661H – 728H) is one of the most definitive works on Islamic creed, serving as a guiding light for generations of Muslims seeking the authentic beliefs of Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama‘ah. Written in response to a request from a judge in Wasit, Iraq, this treatise was composed in a single sitting and has since become a timeless reference for clarity in belief. The detailed commentary/explanation was done by the noble Shaykh, Muhammad Ibn Saalih al-'Uthaymeen (Rahimahumullaah).
In this masterpiece, Ibn Taymiyyah explains the essentials of Islamic creed with proofs from the Qur’an and authentic Sunnah, adhering strictly to the understanding of the Salaf-us-Salih (the pious predecessors). The topics include:
-
Tawheed (Oneness of Allah): Affirming Allah’s Lordship, His exclusive right to be worshiped, and His Beautiful Names and Attributes without ta’til (denial), tahrif (distortion), tashbih (resemblance), or ta’wil (false interpretation).
-
Belief in the Unseen: Including angels, prophets, revealed scriptures, resurrection, paradise, hellfire, and divine decree (Qadar – good and bad).
-
Refutation of Deviations: Correcting the false doctrines of sects that deviated from pure Tawheed, such as the Jahmiyyah, Mu’tazilah, Ash’ariyyah, and others, while establishing the balanced path of the people of Sunnah.
-
Affirmation of Justice and Balance: Showing the middle course of Islam between extremism and negligence in matters of belief and practice.
