Tawheed and Kitab At-Tawheed

Tawheed is the belief in the Oneness of Allah. The Book of Tawheed by Sheikh Saleh Al-Fozan explains why sound belief in Tawheed is the basis of worship. For a detailed study, Commentary on Kitab At-Tawheed is a two-volume English translation of Shaykh Ibn Uthaimeen’s explanation of Shaykh Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab’s classic.

The six pillars of Iman

The Islamic Creed Series takes the pillars one at a time: Belief in Allah, World of Angels, Day of Resurrection and Divine Will and Predestination. Faith in Predestination answers common questions about fate and free will, and The Pillars of Islam and Iman brings the pillars of faith and worship together in one book. For the five pillars of Islam, see our Pillars of Islam books.
