Introduction to Islamic Creed: Volume 1 (IGI Essentials Series)

Short and concise guide to orthodox Islamic theology as understood in the later Ash'arī school. Useful study format fpr students pf knowledge.

A concise work on Islamic creed, accessible for the beginner and a must for sound aqa'id. Highly recommend!

I liked the original Arabic text with translation.

A great book on Aqeedah, this book is extremely organised and fairly strait forward unlike some books on this topic. I really like how easily and simply the information was conveyed. Highly recommend!

Wonderfully translated by Ustadh Rashad Jameer. May Allah bless the IGI team for their endeavour. I highly recommend​ this text.

From the moment I opened this book I was impressed. For such a thin volume to cover such a monumental subject is no easy task. This book covers the basics. As the title says, it is an "Introduction" to this most important subject.The information in this book is extremely well organized, within chapters, subheadings, and even tables. The original Arabic text is given on the right hand pages, with the English translation on the left. The appendix is especially useful, with important information such as Allah's attributes and the attributes of Prophets listed out, with Arabic words and their English translations side by side. There is also a section with space for study notes.I have not yet started on the companion online course, but it looks to be about 10 lectures, each corresponding to a section of the book, totaling 90+ minutes overall.I doubt anyone will be disappointed in this book. It overdelivers in pretty much every area. Looking forward to more volumes of the IGI Essentials Series!

A must read and important work to understand.

This book is for the Muslim that wants to get a strong foundation with the basics of theology. The most unique feature of Islam is it's emphasis on Tawheed. That is that Allah is not like his creation. Anything that you could conceive of Allah, then know that Allah is different from his creation in uniqueness. Sheikh Ahmad Sa'ad Al Azhari does an excellent job bringing important foundational texts that connect the Muslims with the classical scholars like Imam Al Bajuri. I hope this is one of many books that the Noble Sheikh will share with the muslim community in the west.

This is an excellent translation that introduces the Islamic creed. The translation is accurate and the text is by Imam Bajuri who was a Rector of Azhar University of his time. It covers the basics and is essentially an expression of the Aqida Tahawiyyah in terms that was current during his time. Importantly, for beginners it cuts down the techinical and philosophical details to avoid confusion. However it should be studied with a qualified person and so accompanying lectures are helpful.

This book is true Islamic Aqeedah, and no one can reject anything from this unless they reject the Quran and Sunnah
