Explanation of Al-Aqeedat Al-Waasitiyyah
In a time of widespread innovation and theological confusion, Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullah) was asked by Qaadee Radiyud-Deen Al-Waasitiy to write a concise statement of correct Islamic belief — something that could guide his household and dependents onto the right path amid the turbulence of the era. What resulted was one of the most celebrated and enduring statements of Sunni creed ever written, studied in Islamic institutions across the world to this day.
Al-Aqeedat Al-Waasitiyyah documents the creed of Ahl as-Sunnah wal-Jamaa'ah with the precision and depth that only a scholar of Ibn Taymiyyah's calibre could produce. It addresses the most fundamental matters of Islamic belief — the names and attributes of Allah, the unseen, the Day of Judgement, the Companions, and the correct methodology of the saved sect — all grounded in the Quran and the authentic Sunnah, free from the distortions of innovation.
This explanation makes Ibn Taymiyyah's landmark text fully accessible to the English-speaking reader, unpacking each point of creed with clarity and scholarly commentary. For students of aqeedah, this is not optional reading — it is a cornerstone text that every serious student of Islamic theology needs to engage with.
