Al – Aqidah Al-Tahawiyyah
What is this Course all about?
The course presents the belief of “Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jama’ah”, which is the creed of the first few generations of Muslims and those who followed in their footsteps. The course brings in clear understanding of this immensely important branch of knowledge and covers the fundamentals of belief and creed of Islam. The topics will be covered such as;
Aqida – Belief in Allah, The Creator of this world and the worlds unknown, His beloved Messenger, Mohammed (PBUH), The Angels, The Qiamah (Judgement Day), Destiny, Life after Death and various other aspects of Islamic creed.
It also clarifies common misconceptions and other elements which are detrimental to one’s Islamic beliefs and emphasizes on acquisition, relevance and practicality of the true Islamic creed as per the Quran, Sunnah, Sahabah (the companions) and al-Salaf (the pious predecessors).
Why Learn Aqida?
Islam is characterized by Islamic Creed (Aqida) – matters of Islamic beliefs which every Muslim shall know of and believe in with all conviction and certainty, with heart and soul.
Only pure Islamic Aqida (Creed) that is free from all innovation, superstition, false beliefs, false interpretation and denials will help a Muslim lead a life as ordained by Allah (SWT) and His Last Messenger, Prophet Mohammed (PBUH).
It is always incumbent upon every Muslim to have authentic knowledge of the matters of Aqida. It is important to acquire correct beliefs which shall be in accordance to book of Allah, the sayings of the prophet Mohammed (PBUH), the Sahabah (the companions) and the Salaf (the pious predecessors).
Therefore, this short course has been carefully designed to provide an opportunity for the Muslim Ummah to explore the Islamic creed as explained in Aqeda al-Tahawiyyah by Imam Abu Ja’far al-Tahawi and thus strengthen their iman.
