Mega 🧵 How to Study Atharī Creed

Stage 1: Foundation

At this stage, the goal is to build a solid grounding in uṣūl al-ʿaqīdah: belief in Allah and His Ṣifāt, al-Qadar, īmān, the Qurʾān, and Tawḥīd al-ʿIbādah. The focus is on clarity and understanding the basics. — Lumʿat al-Iʿtiqād
with explanations by Shaykh Muḥammad al-Khudayr and Shaykh Yūsuf al-Ghafīs

— al-ʿAqīdah al-Wāsiṭiyyah
with explanations by Shaykh al-Ghafīs and Shaykh Ṣāliḥ Āl al-Shaykh

— al-Qawāʿid al-Muthlā
with the explanation of Shaykh Ibn ʿUthaymīn

He would appreciate that the Wahhabis are the only ones who teach, memorise, and cherish his works in today’s age!

— Ibn Jibrin has one of the greatest explanations of al-ʿUmdah ever written

— Sami al-Suqayr/ʿAbd Allah al-Turki published al-Muqniʿ with its 3 relied-upon shuruh

🧵 The exact date of birth of the best of creation ﷺ cannot be established with certainty. It is an innovation to single out the 12th of rabi al awwal for any celebration or turn it into an eid. It is also contrary to the guidance of the Prophet ﷺ to narrate certain exaggerations

🧵 Note: Regarding the word 'jism' there are two ways the term jism is used. The first is in the sense of jasad (physical body), and this is certainly inappropriate to ascribe to Allah, based on its linguistic meaning; it is this sense that warrants takfīr, according to many.

🧵 The majority concluded that the key criterion in identifying someone's madhhab is their final view. This is because it would be inaccurate to attribute to someone a view they later changed. So the preferred opinion is the one we can identify as their last and final position.
