An Explanation of Four Principles of Shirk

by Abu Ammaar Yasir Qadhi

An Explanation of Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab's Four Principles of Shirk By Tr Abu Ammar Yasir Qadhi In this book, the author explains the dangerous concept of shrik through four simple principles. The sin of shirk - or associating partners with Allah - is the most reprehensible act that a person can do. It is for this reason that this sin is the one sin that Allah has promised He will never forgive. Unfortunately, many Muslims who are unaware of the reality of shirk fall into it out of ignorance. This short treatise is an ideal work for the Muslim in order to understand the essence of shirk, and thus essential reading for the one who wishes to avoid falling into the greatest trap of Shaytan. The explanation of the work of Muhammad ibn `Abd al-Wahhab has been taken from the works of Ibn Jibrin, Salih Al al-Shaykh, and other major scholars

Reviews

[Faizan Fayaz · Rating 5 out of 5]

The summary of this book is all about two things:
1: To know the Religion that our Prophet Muhammad PBUH came with.
2: To know the situation of the pagans and the polytheists in which The Messenger PBUH was sent to.
