The translator of this book by Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen writes:
I was presented with this concise and valuable [treatise] concerning the tenets of faith (‘aqeedah), compiled by our brother, the erudite scholar, the noble shaykh – Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen.I listened to it all and found that it encompassed an explanation of the creed of Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamadah in the issues of the tawheed of Allaah and His Names and Attributes, as well as in the Angels; the Books; the Messengers; the Last Day; and Divine Decree, both the good and the evil [consequences] thereof. Indeed he has done well in compiling it and has brought benefit by
mentioning in it that which the seeker of knowledge and every Muslim is in need of, regarding belief in Allaah; His Angels; His Books; His Messengers; the Last Day; and Divine Decree, both the good and evil [consequences] thereof. He has included in it points of benefit connected to the actual creed, which are not to be found in many of the books that are authored on this topic.
This [path] was traversed upon by the nation (ummah) that responded to Allaah and His Messenger – they being the best of creation – the Companions, their Followers and those who followed them in goodness. They established His Sacred Law (shareeah) and clung firmly to His guidance, in beliefs, manners and morals, thereby becoming that party
that will never cease to be victorious upon the truth, not being harmed by those who seek to harm or oppose them, until the Command of Allaah comes and they are like that.
So we – and all praise is for Allaah – are following in their footsteps and, supported by the Book and the Sunnah, are guided by their examples.
