Fundamental Beliefs of Islam (Al Aqeedah Al Wasitiyyah)

This course is an in-depth study of al-Aqeedah al-Wasitiyyah, a concise yet comprehensive text in the science of Belief and Theology (Aqeedah). Authored by Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, the text lays out the foundational principles of Islamic creed, focusing on the beliefs of the Salaf (early righteous predecessors) in contrast to deviant ideologies that emerged and were falsely associated with Islam.

Through this course, students will gain a clear understanding of Islamic theology, its sources, and the correct methodology in matters of creed, as upheld by the Salaf.

• Principles regarding the Names and Attributes of Allah in line with the Quran and Sunnah.

• The correct understanding of matters such as Qadr (divine decree), Iman (faith), and Tawheed (oneness of Allah).
