Paperback: 56 Pages
Published: August, 2004
Description: Before you is a small treatise that was written by Shaykhul-Islaam Muhammad Bin Abdul-Wahhaab, rahimahullaah. It follows on from his excellent work “The Three Fundamental Principles”. These “principles” that are expounded by the Shaykh are based in knowledge and recognition of the true Islamic monotheism (tawheed) and its opposite which is to associate partners with Allaah (shirk). The Shaykh mentioned these two great and mighty matters of tawheed and shirk due to their great importance and because many people have deviated regarding them. And the Shaykh has not mentioned these principles from himself or his own thoughts as many of those who have gone astray do. Rather he has taken these principles from the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of the Prophet, salallaahu’alayhi wassallam.

Before you is a small treatise that was written by Shaykhul-Islaam Muhammad Bin Abdul-Wahhaab, Rahimahullaah. It follows on from his excellent work “The Three Fundamental Principles”. These “principles” that are expounded by the Shaykh are based in knowledge and recognition of the true Islamic monotheism (Tawheed) and its opposite which is to associate partners with Allaah (Shirk). The Shaykh mentioned these two great and mighty matters of tawheed and shirk due to their great importance and because many people have deviated regarding them. And the Shaykh has not mentioned these principles from himself or his own thoughts as many of those who have gone astray do. Rather he has taken these principles from the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of the Prophet, salallaahu’alayhi was sallam. So when you come to know and understand these principles, it will be easy for you to gain knowledge and recognition of tawheed, the reason for which Allaah sent His Messengers and revealed His Books, as well as knowledge and recognition of shirk which Allaah has warned against and explained its danger and harm in this world and the Hereafter. This is a very important matter, rather knowledge of it is more obligatory than knowledge of the rulings of the prayer, zakaah, the other forms of worship and the rest of the matters of the world. This is due to the fact that it is the foremost matter and the foundation of the Religion.
