Tawheed/Tauheed/Tauhid of Allah's Most Beautiful Names and Lofty Attributes : The Belief of Ahl al-Sunnah wal' Jama'ah

Among the subjects that have not been adequately covered in the English language, perhaps the most important of them is the one covered in the pages of this book.

The author presents the belief of Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah, which is the creed of the first few generations of Muslims and those who followed in their footsteps. Besides outlining the principles and foundations of this creed he also highlights some of the foreign ideas and deviant concepts that have crept into the hearts and minds. The style in which this book has been written relates more to a textbook than to a book for casual reading. The author has carefully structured the book, divided it into clearly headed sections and provided all the necessary definitions and explanations that will facilitate a clear understanding of this immensely important branch of knowledge.

=======================================
Alhamdulillah i finally finished it last night. i bought this book Long time ago, over 2 years i believe or more. I didn't know who the author was so i was hesitant to buy it but i really wished to buy a book on the Asma was sifat of Allah. There is another book on this topic by shaykh assadee but that is very brief unlike this one. after i saw albaseerah masjid selling it, i thought it must be a good book for them to sell so i bought it. then i thought the author was shaykh muhammad ibn abdul wahhab at-tamimi but it is not him, BUT it is a salafi shaykh from the prof. of Madinah Uni.

and MaashaaAllah, he started the book first with importance of learning this division of tawheed and then he went to mention relationship between this category of tawheed and other categories and then he explained the types of tahweed are mentioned by the scholars.

some divided tawheed into 2 categories, others, 3 and others 4, but those who divided into four made a MISTAKE because tawheed alhakamiyah is found in tawheed al-ulohiyah [worship].

and the division of tahweed into is valid, where tawheed ar-rubobiyah and asma was sifat was made into one category due they being knowledge based unlike tawheed al-ulohiyah [which refers to the actions].

and then he had a chapter only on terms "salaf us saleh and ahlus sunnah and ahlus sunnah ti waljama'ah" and maashaaAllah he did great in explaining them so precisely and organized manner, such that after you finished reading, you are clear about each terms and how they are used.

and then he went to explain the belief of ahlus sunnah in this division of tawheed and explain how the people of deviation deviated in this field and what corruption they did.

i will give you one example that shaykh gave, which is so amazing if you understand simple arabic verbal sentence.

in Arabic there is Verbal sentance that starts with a verb and it has 3 parts, verb, doer, and object - the doer is always marfu - with damma, and object is always mansub - with fatha, so in the Qur'an there is one aya where Allah said:

كلم اللهُ مسى
meaning: Allah spoke to Musa

so the people of deviation did what with this sentence was this:

كلم اللهَ مسى
meaning: Musa spoke to Allah

thus negating the fact that Allah speaks.

==========================
Lastly our belief in this division of tawheed is that:

we believe in all names and attributes of Allah that Allah has mentioned in His Book and that His Messenger mentioned in His Sunnah without tahreef, ta'til, takyim and tahtheel.

Alhamdulillah this book is found as PDF so you can see rest for yourself in the book:
