Book Description
The Reason this Creed was WrittenIbn Taimiyah said:"A Shafi'ite judge from Wasit (in Iraq) whose name is Radiy ad-Din al-Wasiti, visited me on his wayto Hajj (pilgrimage). This Sheikh was a man of goodness and faith. He complained to me of thepeople's situation in that country (i.e., Iraq ) under the Tatars (Mongols) rule of ignorance, injustice,and loss of faith and knowledge.He asked me to write him an 'Aqidah (creed) as a reference to him and his family. But I declinedsaying: Many creeds have been written. Refer to the scholars of the Sunnah. However, he persistedin his request, saying: I do not want any creed but one you write. So I wrote this one for him while Iwas sitting one afternoon.Many copies of it are dispersed throughout Egypt, Iraq and other provinces. (Majmu' Fatawa IbnTaimiyah, VIII, p.164)

Book Description
This workbook is not for individual self-study, rather it is the workbook used to follow along with the new class at al-Masjid al-Awwal (live in Pittsburgh or online from anywhere), beginning in the first week of 1440, in shaa' Allah. Classes are taught live from this workbook, broadcast worldwide. No registration is required. Simply get the workbook and follow along from wherever you are. Also, the recorded lessons are available on al-Masjid al-Awwal's Spreaker Channel.This workbook contains all 131 narrations of Kitaab al-Jaami' from Buloogh al-Maraam, along with an English translation of each one. It has been designed to provide structured guidance for note-taking. With each hadeeth, as a routine, we learn about the Companion(s) who narrated it and the imam(s) who collected it. Important points, based primarily on the explanation of Shaykh Saalih al-Fowzaan, follow in numbered lists, with adequate space for notes. It is hoped that students who may normally struggle with note-taking may learn how to identify the most important points of a class and improve this essential skill.In this study of 131 hadeeth narrations, we will learn and/or be reminded about -in shaa' Allah- the importance of refining one's character, some good manners to work on, some bad manners to avoid, and some important personal supplications to be used throughout our day and night. In Section One, we study 16 narrations about essential everyday manners in basic interactions. Then, 14 narrations zoom in on some of the most important manners connected to kindness and keeping ties in Section Two. In Section Three, 11 narrations inspire us to be more pious, more focused on the Hereafter, and less materialistic, in shaa' Allah. Section Four includes 40 narrations warning us from various manifestations of bad character, while Section Five includes 19 more narrations about more ways to apply good character. Finally, in the last section, we study 31 narrations about remembrance and supplication. While memorizing all of these narrations is indeed quite helpful, the last section, most specifically, should be given special attention.CONTENTS:SECTION ONE: MANNERSHADEETH 1: SIX BASIC RIGHTS OF ISLAMIC BROTHERHOODHADEETH 2: HOW TO APPRECIATE ALLAH'S FAVORSHADEETH 3: PIETY AND SIN GENERALIZEDHADEETH 4: THE PROHIBITION OF EXCLUDING A THIRD PERSONHADEETH 5: THE PROHIBITION OF TAKING PEOPLE'S SEATSHADEETH 6: LICKING THE FINGERS AFTER EATINGHADEETH 7: WHO SHOULD INITIATE THE GREETING?HADEETH 8: ONE PERSON MAY GREET ON BEHALF OF THE GROUPHADEETH 9: INTERACTING WITH NON-MUSLIMSHADEETH 10: MANNERS RELATED TO SNEEZINGHADEETH 11: THE DISCOURAGEMENT OF DRINKING WHILE STANDINGHADEETH 12: EATING AND DRINKING WITH THE RIGHT HANDHADEETH 13 & 14: MANNERS OF WEARING SHOESHADEETH 15: THE PROHIBITION OF DRAGGING GARMENTSHADEETH 16: ENJOYING ALLAH'S BLESSINGS WITHOUT EXTRAVAGANCESECTION TWO: KINDNESS AND KEEPING TIESHADEETH 17: MAINTAINING GOOD FAMILY TIESHADEETH 18: THE SEVERITY OF BREAKING FAMILY TIESHADEETH 19: SIX DESTRUCTIVE MAJOR SINSHADEETH 20: THE IMPORTANCE OF PLEASING ONE'S PARENTSHADEETH 21: A BELIEVER'S CONCERN FOR HIS NEIGHBORSHADEETH 22: THE GREATEST OF ALL MAJOR SINSHADEETH 23: THE CRIME OF PROVOKING OTHERS INTO SINFUL BEHAVIORHADEETH 24: NOT BOYCOTTING MUSLIMS FOR MORE THAN THREE DAYSHADEETH 25: EVERY GOOD DEED IS A CHARITYHADEETH 26 & 27: SIMPLE DEEDS THAT COUNT AS ACTS OF CHARITYHADEETH 28: AIDING YOUR BROTHERS AND ALLEVIATING THEIR BURDENSHADEETH 29: DIRECTING OTHERS TO GOOD DEEDSHADEETH 30: GRACIOUS INTERACTIONS IN THREE SITUATIONSSECTION THREE: ASCETICISM AND VIGILANCE HADEETH 31: THE HALAAL AND HARAAM ARE CLEARHADEETH 32: RUINED ARE THE WORSHIPPERS OF MATERIAL THINGSHADEETH 33: BE IN THIS LIFE LIKE A STRANGERHADEETH 34: THE PROHIBITION OF IMITATING NON-MUSLIMSHADEETH 35: OBSERVING THE LIMITS SET BY ALLAHHADEETH 36: WORLDLY AMBITION VS.

Book Description
Explanation of a Summary of al Aqeedatul Hamawiyyah of Ibn Taymiyah is the commentary on one of Ibn Taymiyyah's works "al-Fatwaa al-Hamawiyyah" which he wrote as an answer to a question presented to him in the Hijrah year of 698 from Hamaah, a place in ash-Shaam. In it, he was asked what the scholars and Imaams of the religion say concerning the Aayaat and the Ahaadeeth of the Sifaat, or the attributes and characteristics of Allaah. So he answered in about 83 pages and due to which, he suffered trials and afflictions. May Allaah reward him on behalf of Islaam and the Muslims with the best of rewards. Due to the difficulty in understanding and comprehending this answer from many readers, Ibn Uthaymeen has summarized the most important points from it along with some other needed additions.
