Fundamental Beliefs of a Muslim by Dr. Salih Ibn Fawzan is an exceptional book that dives into the core foundations of Ahul Ahl- Alsunnah wa Al Jammah (اهل السنةوجماعة).
In any subject, it's important to master the basics. Especially when it comes to our understanding of our Religion; we must ensure we have a great understanding of the foundations of our Aqeedah (Creed).
Dr. Salih Ibn Fawzan's expertise and concise writing style make this book a valuable asset for both new Muslims and seasoned believers. It provides a basic and enlightening book of the fundamental beliefs of our faith, grounded in authentic sources from the Quran and Sunnah.
I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a basic understanding of Islam and its principles. May Allah reward Dr. Salih Ibn Fawzan abundantly for his efforts in providing this resource to the ummah.
Notes:
Fundamental Beliefs:
1. Belief in Allah, his angels, his books, his messengers, the last day, and the belief in the divine decree, the good of it and e evil of it.
3 categories of Tawheed are Tawheed Al-Rububiyah (to single Allah out alone with lordship), Tawheed Al-Uluhiyyah (to single Allah out alone with worship), and Tawheed Al-Asma wa Al-Sifat (to single Allah out alone with his names and attributes).
2. Iman (faith) comprises of speech, action, and belief.
3. Do not declare any of the Muslims to be disbelievers UNLESS they commit an action that is a nullifier from those things that nullify Islam. Major sins that are lesser than shirk does not take one out of Islam because of Allah's words in Surah Al Nisa: verse 48.
*Sahih International*
Indeed, Allah does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills. And he who associates others with Allah has certainly fabricated a tremendous sin.
4. Obeying the Muslim leaders as long as they do not command with disobedience, then it is impermissible to obey them.
5.. Impermissibility of rebelling against a Muslim leader if they commit a wrongful act which is lesser than disbelief.
6. Purity of their hearts and tongue towards the companions of the messenger of Allah PBUH.
7. Love and show alliance to the family of the Messenger PBUH that are righteous. To love the mother of the believers رضي الله عنهم.
8. Believe in the miracles of the Awlia (close allies of Allah). This is not the same as witchcraft.
9. When presenting an argument is to follow that which is found in the Quran (Book of Allah) and the Sunnah of the Messenger PBUH, and which all of the companions were upon.

Great characters that are mentioned in this book:
1. Enjoy the good and forbid evil in line with what is required.
2. Preserve the performance of the Islamic religious rites, such as the Jummah prayer and Jammah.
3. Advising every Muslim.
4. They are firm in times of stress.
5. Adorn themselves with noble mannerisms and good Deeds. They forbid pride, boasting, transgression, oppression, and looking down on people.
May Allah reward the Shaikh immensely and increase us in beneficial knowledge.
