Published: Feb. 2007

The book before you is an explanation of a concise yet great work written by a noble Scholar of Islaam from the twelth century of Islaam, known as Muhammad Ibn Abdul-Wahhaab. He compiled this work, called "The Three Fundamental Principles", in order to make clear to the people the core and fundamental principles upon which Islaam is established.

Shaikh Muhammad Ibn Abdul-Wahhaab took these principles from the texts of Qur'aan and pure Prophetic Sunnah, as well as the Companions and those who succeeded them. This is why in all of the works of the Shaikh, whether small or large, you will find quote after quote from the Religious texts. Muhammad Ibn Abdul-Wahhaab is a much maligned and misrepresented Scholar. His adversaries, in his time and after expended much effort in spreading misinformation regarding his belief and methodology.

Some ascribe to him extremism; others ascribe to him deviation in belief and creed. All of this are falsehoods easily repelled by the legacy of authorship that he left behind, which clearly show that he was neither an extremist, nor a deviant, rather his works show that he was a true traditionalist in the Path of the Messenger of Allaah and his Companions.

========================================================
Alhamdulillah, last night, i finally finished this book. i bought the book like 2 years now, i believe, i bought it from troid.org in my first big order from them. Alhamdulillah.

The book is very easy read maashaaAllah, the book looks big i think because of the font and arrangement of the book.

What i like about the book is the Content table of the book, maashaaAllah very comprehensive which helps you review the book very easily. Because after finishing the book, you can go back to the content table and look at all titles and recall what you learned.

Compared with Shaykh Uthaymeen explanation of this book, i would say this book is much more simple and it is brief in its explanation, however shaykh ubayd mentioned information that shaykh uthaymeen may have left out. But Shaykh uthaymeen explanation of this book is SO DETAILED and it has so much information that you need to read that book several times to have good summary of it in the head and Allah knows best.

There are some important matters that i learned and recalled:
First: the ruling of boycotting people of innovation and parties. i liked the way shaykh explained it and pointed out mistakes. The matter should be as such: one people of sunnah are dominant, then boycotting should be done effectively as there is less harm and if people of innovation and parties are dominant, then the matter of boycotting should be looked into, and it shouldn't be done when it will bring about great harm because people of hizbiyah has power to do much harm.

and i liked the point about reconciliation of two ayat on two topic that were revealed at last.

and of course there are much more into this book then i can mention:
the book is about 3 questions that will be asked in the grave, who is your lord, who is your prohet and what is your religion.

the 3 levels of deen: islam, eman and ihsan has been briefly explained and many beneficial points has been made in each.

and also in pillars of emaan.

i liked the summary points on explaining Qadr and its stages.
they are 4: that Allah knew everything, He recorded everything, and He willed and then He created.

and then it has another stages via which things are decreed:
shaykh said it is 3 levels:
1 - the life span decree [that everything is decreed for the person for his full life while in his mother's womb] from the preserve tablet - all matters are decreed for this person's life time.
2 - yearly decree - that is done in the night of qadr, all matters of the year are decreed from the preserve tablet,
3 - daily, from the preserve tablet all matters are decreed daily as to what will happen in a day.

It is a very beneficial book of aqeedah that one of us should have to expend our knowledge of our Creed. inshaaAllah.
