In this first of his eight-volume Islamic Creed Series, Dr. ‘Umar al-Ashqar
discusses the mistaken ideas that have crept into Muslim thinking
concerning Allah and His attributes, and highlights the fact that the
only correct way to understand the verses of the Qur’an and the hadiths
which speak of Allah and His attributes is the way in which they were
understood by the first generations of this Ummah (the 'salaf').
Dr.
al-Ashqar also examines modern concepts, such as the theory of
evolution, and proves that they are wrong and false. Following the
Qur’anic injunction to ponder the signs of Allah in the universe, he
pays attention to the study of natural phenomena which clearly point to
the existence and Oneness of the Almighty Creator. Thus Dr. al-Ashqar
affirms the principle which lies as the heart of Islamic faith and
practice, namely tawheed (the creed that there is none worthy of worship other than Allah), the Absolute Oneness of the Divine
Through
divine revelation and explicit examples led by the Prophet Muhammad
(blessings and peace be upon him), we are reassured of Allah’s existence
and glory. His attributes are clearly described in this book, giving
you a better understanding of, and insha’Allah a stronger bond with, our
Creator, as the power of tawheed acts as a vehicle in our
mission to strengthen our personal relationship with Allah the Almighty.
Allah's characteristics are explained and referenced clearly in this
book.
Relevant
discussions regarding philosophical proof found in the Qur’an and the
Sunnah allow room to answer all questions and remove all doubts
concerning this fundamental belief in God and the implications it has on
how we live our lives. These basic precepts of religion remain true for
all time and every generation.
This Islamic Creed Series of books is translated into English by Nasiruddin al-Khattab.
