Introduction to Guide to Sound Creed

A comprehensive treatment of Islamic creed (aqeedah) by the senior Saudi scholar and member of the Council of Senior Scholars, Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan. This book presents the Athari (Salafi) understanding of tawhid, the attributes of Allah, prophethood, the unseen, and the fundamentals of faith — following the methodology of Ahl us-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah as understood by the Salaf al-Salih.

The author refutes common deviations including Ash'ari interpretations of the divine attributes, Sufi innovations, and modernist reinterpretations of Islamic belief. The book is particularly suited for students of knowledge seeking a systematic grounding in authentic Islamic theology.

Topics covered include the six pillars of faith, the proper understanding of Allah's names and attributes, the conditions of true belief, the reality of prophethood and the finality of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), the Islamic position on predestination, and the obligations that flow from correct creed.
