"The Fundamental Beliefs of Ahl as-Sunnah"
ENThe Fundamental Beliefs of Ahl as-Sunnah
"This book is a concise booklet aimed at clarifying and summarizing the fundamental principles and beliefs of the methodology of Ahl as-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah. It was written in response to circulated doctrinal questions on social media intended to evaluate the soundness of individuals' summary creed. The book does not seek to provide an exhaustive or extensive elaboration; rather, it focuses on outlining the broad and pivotal features that characterize the creed of Ahl as-Sunnah and determine who falls under this concept, while directing the reader to major classical and Salafi references to explore detailed evidence and chained hadith narrations."
"This concise theological booklet was authored as a direct response to a message the author received via social media, which contained a set of circulated doctrinal questions used by their compilers to test and determine individuals' adherence to the methodology of Ahl as-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah, advising those who fail to answer them to re-examine and review their beliefs. From this standpoint, the author sought in this book to establish and clarify the fundamental principles and pillars of the correct creed, emphasizing that anyone whose beliefs align with these fundamentals is considered a Sunni Muslim and is subsequently obliged to believe in their intricate details according to their level of knowledge, whereas deviating from one or more of these principles leads to stepping outside of this methodology. The booklet does not aim for an exhaustive investigation or extensive elaboration; rather, it focuses on outlining the broad features of the creed of Ahl as-Sunnah while presenting a general overview of the beliefs of those who differ with them. Therefore, the author deliberately refrained from citing detailed textual evidence or consensus statements, as they are readily available in abundance in standard books of theology and narrations. He directs readers who wish to seek chains-of-narrative evidence to major classical and Salafi references, such as: ""The Treatises refuting the Jahmiyyah and Zanaadiqah"" by Imam Ahmad, ""The Book refuting the Jahmiyyah"" by Ad-Daarimi, ""The Creed of Ar-Raaziyeen"", ""Creation of the Servants' Actions"" by Al-Bukhari, the books of ""The Sunnah"" by Al-Marwazi, Abi A'sim, and Al-Khilaal, ""Oneness"" by Ibn Khuzaymah, ""Faith"" by Ibn Mandah, ""The Declaration"" by Ibn Batta, ""The Explanation of the Fundamental Beliefs of Ahl as-Sunnah"" by Al-Lalka'ee, ""Shariah"" by Al-A'jurry, ""The Vision"" by Ad-Daraqutni, ""The Creed of the Predecessors and The People of Hadith"" by As-Saabooni, and ""Sharh as-Sunnah"" by Al-Barbahaari, which collectively represent the foundational framework from which this booklet drew its material to provide a simplified and clear guide to faith.
