Explanation of Aqeedah Al-Wasatiyyah
Overview
All definitions are for Allah, who is the most knowledgeable, who created the human species in the best forms and endowed them with the ability to acquire knowledge, and blessings and peace be upon Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) who was sent as a guide and mercy.
The Quran guides us towards three fundamental teachings throughout, which are Tawheed (belief in the Oneness of Allah), Risalat (belief in Prophethood), and Akhirah (belief in the Hereafter), and these are the fundamental teachings upon which the religion of Islam is based. All our worship is dependent on these three principles, so it is necessary to have a complete understanding and knowledge of them. Understanding aqidah is important because aqidah elaborately discusses these principles; therefore, it is obligatory for every Muslim to know and study it.
About this course:
This course is designed for every Muslim who lacks complete and authentic knowledge regarding beliefs and desires to learn because having a correct belief is the foremost and essential requirement for acceptance of any worship, as it forms the original foundation and essence of the religion.
In this course, we provide students with a detailed explanation of the book “Sharh al-Aqeedah al-Wasitiyyah” by Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah. Some prominent topics covered in this explanation include the Oneness of Allah (Tawheed), the divine attributes of Allah, knowledge of the names of Allah (Asmaa ul Husna), Prophethood and its evidences, and various other discussions related to beliefs.
The primary purpose of this course is to deepen the understanding of religion in people’s hearts so that they become acquainted with its essence. This enables them to safeguard themselves and their loved ones from new innovations and superstitions.
