Kitab At-Tauhid (The Book of Monotheism)

Kitab At-Tauhid (also written Kitab at-Tauhid), in full The Book of Monotheism, is Shaikh Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab's classic work on Islamic Tawheed, translated into English by Darussalam. Every chapter is built on direct evidence from the Qur'an and hadith rather than the author's own opinion, which is why the book has stayed a starting text in Aqeedah study circles for over two centuries.

What's Inside This Book

The book builds its argument around three pillars of Tawheed: Rububiyyah (accepting Allah alone as Lord and Creator), Uluhiyyah (directing worship to Allah alone), and Asma wa Sifat (affirming His names and attributes as they appear in revelation). Each short chapter opens with the relevant ayah or hadith, explains what it establishes, and names the specific practice it rules out, from seeking blessings at graves to relying on charms and omens. That structure is why teachers still assign it as a first text on Aqeedah rather than a reference to read once.
