An Explanation of the Four Rules Regarding Shirk
About This Book
An Explanation of the Four Rules Regarding Shirk brings together, in English translation, eight separate scholarly explanations of The Four Rules (al-Qawa'id al-Arba'), a short treatise on Tawheed and Shirk by Muhammad bin 'Abdil-Wahhaab. The treatise is named for the four basic principles it sets out for distinguishing a believer from a disbeliever and a monotheist from a polytheist.
Although the original text is brief, it covers a great deal, and the explanations in this volume unpack its points in detail. The commentaries come from well-known scholars of Saudi Arabia: 'Abdul-'Azeez bin Baaz, Saalih Al-Fawzaan, Saalih Al-Luhaydaan, 'Abdul-'Azeez Ar-Raajihee, Ahmad An-Najmee, Zayd Al-Madkhalee, Saalih Aali Shaikh, and 'Abdul-'Azeez Ar-Rayyis. A short biography of each scholar appears before his explanation.
