Aqeedah Posts
(Links to Post 1-5)

As Salaamu Alaykum,

As many of the readers will be aware, Masha-Allah, with the help and will of Allah the posts relating to Aqeedah have come to an end.

The Aqeedah (Beliefs) was of the Ahl as-Sunnah Wal Jama'ah, according to the school of the jusrist of this Religion, Imaam Abu Haneefah an-Nu'man ibn Thabit al-Kufi.

Following are the links to all six posts:

It should be noted that the bold text is the extract from the book "al Aqeedatut-Tahaawiyyah" of Imam Abu Ja'far Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Salamah bin Salmah bin 'Abd al Malik bin Salmah bin Sulaim bin Sulaiman bin Jawab Azdi, popularly known as Imam Tahawi.

Furthermore, The Tahaawiyyah itself is a simple statement of Sunni belief. It is so simple that it is consistent with both Maturidi and Ashari Aqeedah. Imam Subki Rahimahullah mentioned that it differs with the Ashari school only on three very minor, subtle points. It is closer yet to the Maturidi school, for it is very much a Hanafi-influenced theological school, and Imam Tahawi was transmitting the Sunni beliefs of Imam Abu Hanifa Rahimahullah and his companions Rahimahumullah.

May Allah give us the strength and ability to understand and accept the correct beliefs of Islam and to hold steadfast upon them in a time where each and every person's belief is questioned and tested. Aameen.

Wasalaam
