Imam al-Dardir's Creed (al-Tawhidiyyah)

Theology (ʿaqidah) is the noblest of the Islamic sciences. It is the foundation of all Islamic precepts and the first duty for every Muslim to learn.

Imam al-Dardir's Creed, also known as al-Tawhidiyyah, was written with the purpose of reviving and strengthening the understanding of Islamic creed among ordinary Muslims. The short and easily memorizable text summarizes the central articles of faith that every Muslim is obliged to know and believe in.

This commentary by Dr. Siddiq Adam Mitha explains the work in a clear, simple, and accessible way, making the book particularly suitable for beginners as well as students of Islamic knowledge.

The author builds on explanations from both classical and modern scholars within Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jama’ah. Among the most important sources are Imam al-Dardir's own works as well as commentaries from renowned scholars through generations, including al-Bayhaqi, al-Ghazali, al-Nasafi, al-Razi, al-Subki, and many others.

In an era where many attempt to understand Islam without guidance from the classical scholarly tradition, this translation and commentary is a valuable contribution to English-language Islamic literature. The book provides the reader with a solid foundation in Islamic creed based on the authentic Sunni tradition.

Perfect for:
• New Muslims
• Students of Islamic creed (ʿaqidah)
• Study groups and teaching
• Anyone seeking a clear and traditional understanding of the Islamic faith.
