Description
About The Book (From The Publisher's Website)
The science of theology is the most virtuous of the sciences
It is the primary obligation, and the foundation of all Islamic rulings
It is the primary obligation, and the foundation of all Islamic rulings
The Creed of Imam al-Dardir, also known as the Tawhidiyya, was written with the purpose of reviving the core of the Islamic creed in the minds of common Muslims. Its succinct text, easily memorized, captures the essential points of creed that every Muslim is obligated to believe in.
In his commentary, Ustadh Siddiq draws extensively on the texts of traditional scholars of the past and present. Most important from amongst them is Shaykh Mustafa al-ʿAqabawi’s commentary upon the Tawhidyya and other treatises by Imam al-Dardir himself, such as his Kharida al-Bahiyya and his commentary on its text. Other classical works the author cites are from the pens of Imams al-Bayhaqi, al-Ghazali, al-Nasafi, al-Razi, al-Baydawi, al-Subki, al-Taftazani, al-Sanusi, Ibn Kamal Pasha, al-Qari, al-Bayadi, al-Laqqani, al-Zabidi, al-Sawi and al-Bajuri, as well as the modern scholarship of Shaykhs Zahid al-Kawthari, Muhammad al-Hashimi, Hasan Habannaka, Saʿid Ramadan al-Buti, Nur al-Din ʿItr, Nuh al-Qudat and Saʿid Foudah.
-------------------------------
Our brother in faith, Dr. Siddiq Adam Mitha commendably set out in commentating upon this Creed in a simple and refined manner, a level appropriate for beginners in this field. —Shaykh ʿAbd al-Rahman al-Sha'ar
In an age where self-defined readings of Islam have begun to emerge, and perhaps even dominate, this wonderful translation and commentary is a welcome addition to the English language library of works on Islam. —Shaykh Walead Mosaad

About the author
Ahmad al-Dardir: Imam Abu al-Barakat Ahmad ibn Muhammad al-Adawi al-Dardir rahimahullah (1127-1201 AH / 1715-1786 CE) was the leading Maliki jurist and scholar in Egypt during the late eighteenth century. He received his education at al-Azhar, the ancient seat of Islamic learning in Cairo, where he ultimately rose to hold the position of chief Maliki mufti. His fiqh writings became foundational texts for Maliki scholars across the Islamic world; 'Aqrab al-Masalik' and its commentary 'al-Sharh al-Saghir' remain among the most studied works in the Maliki legal tradition. Beyond jurisprudence, al-Dardir was a master of the Khalwatiyya Sufi order, and his spiritual teachings and character made him beloved among both scholars and common people in Egypt. His collection of Salawat (blessings upon the Prophet ﷺ), known as 'al-Salawat al-Dardiriyya', continues to be recited in Khalwati and Azhari devotional circles as a living part of Egyptian religious heritage.
