If you wish to understand why Tawhid is the foundation of Islam and how to protect it in daily life, this book is a clear place to begin.

What Tawhid means

Tawhid means to single out Allah alone in worship, and to affirm that He alone is the Lord, Creator and Sustainer, and that His names and attributes are perfect. Every prophet sent by Allah called his people to this message. Prophet Muhammad ﷺ spent his life teaching it, and a Muslim’s faith depends on it. A study of Tawhid therefore sits at the heart of Islamic learning.

What the explanation covers

• The meaning and virtue of Tawhid and why Allah created mankind
• Worshipping Allah alone, and what it means to associate partners with Him
• Practices and beliefs that weaken or harm a person’s faith
• Reliance on Allah, hope and fear of Allah, and sincerity in worship
• Respect for the names of Allah and for the limits that Islam sets

In the edition by al-Sa’di, the majority of the book consists of verses of the Qur’an, hadith of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and sayings of the early Muslims, followed by clear explanation. This makes it a book built on evidence rather than opinion.

About Shaykh Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab (RH)

Shaykh Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab (RH) was an eighteenth century scholar from Najd in Arabia, known for calling people back to the worship of Allah alone. His short work Kitab at-Tawhid is arranged in chapters, each opening with a heading and then presenting verses of the Qur’an and hadith relevant to it. Because it is concise and organised, it has long been used as a textbook for students of creed.

About Allamah Abd al-Rahman al-Sa’di (RH)

Shaykh Abd al-Rahman ibn Nasir al-Sa’di (RH), who lived from 1307 to 1376 AH, was a respected scholar from al-Qasim in Saudi Arabia. He wrote on many branches of Islamic knowledge, including tafsir, fiqh and creed. He is known for explaining difficult subjects in plain language, and this gift for clarity is one reason his commentary on Tawhid is read by students and general readers alike.

Why this commentary is worth reading

A short text on creed is easier to memorise than to apply. A commentary fills the gap. It tells the reader how each verse or hadith bears on the heading, so that beliefs are held with understanding. Readers who finish this book usually find that they recognise, in their own surroundings, habits and phrases that need correction, and that they know where to turn in the Qur’an and Sunnah for guidance.

Who should read this book

• Students beginning the study of Islamic creed
• Parents who want to teach their children the foundation of faith
• New Muslims seeking a clear introduction to Tawhid
• Teachers and study circle organisers looking for a structured text
• Anyone who wants to strengthen his or her understanding of the oneness of Allah

How to benefit from the book

Take one chapter at a time. Read the heading, then the verses and hadith, and then the explanation. Write down in your own words what the chapter teaches. Revisit a chapter after a few days and test yourself on what you remember. If you come across a matter that is unclear or that concerns your situation, ask a trustworthy scholar. Ask Allah Almighty to grant you sincerity and to keep you firm upon Tawhid, and send salawat upon Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
