A Journey Through the World of Belief

Monotheism (Tauhid) – the Oneness of God (Allah) – is the very essence of Islam, encompassing the core belief system of a Muslim. This 377-page book explores and investigates in detail, the concept of Islamic monotheism, what Allah can and cannot be, that which is impossible (mustahil) and permissible (ja-‘iz) on Him, His twenty undisputed attributes an obligation on every Muslim to know and why it is necessary for all who submit to Islam to be aware of the honour He rightly deserves through His infinite qualities.

The book further investigates why Allah’s existence is wajib, the concept of iman (faith) and what it means, how man’s actions affect his reward and retribution in this world and the after-life. Deeper universal subjects that still perplex mankind such as Qada and Qadr (fate and destiny) are also explored – from an Islamic perspective. This extensive study, which also details the historical background to the rise of certain sects in Islam and their belief systems, such as the Shia, Khawarij, Asha-‘irah and Mu’tazilites is certified and endorsed by the al-Azhar University in Cairo, Egypt, for its clarity of content.

An easy to follow glossary makes this, yet another publication by Shaikh Abdurraghiem Hasan Sallie, appealing to readers across denominations.
