of Imam Muwaffaq al-Din ibn Qudamah al-Maqdisi [d.620h],

Commentary by Shaykh Muwaffaq al-Din Yusf bin Sadiq al-Hanbali,
Compiled & Edited by Musa Abu Khuzaymah,

Published by Madrasah al-Hanbaliyyah.
 

 

 

Description :

 

No concise work of the Athari 'aqidah has gathered more prominence throughout the ages than Lum'ah al-I'tiqad al-Hadi ila Sabil al-Rashad. Written in the 7th century by one of the most notable scholars of the Hanbali madhhab; Shaykh al-Islam Muwaffaq al-Din ibn Qudamah al Maqdisi, may Allah be pleased with him.

 

 

This short but comprehensive work covers a range of credal topics from the Attributes of Allah, His Kalam and Qadar, to the concepts of innovation, belief in the Day of Judgement and matters related to the Prophet Muhammad, ?, and his Companions.

 

The simple and easy to understand nature of the book, free of technical and complex terminology, has made it ideal for those beginning their journey into the study of the Athari-Hanbali 'aqidah. Due to its brevity and simplicity, the text has not been in any great need of lengthy explanation. However in recent times, it has undergone commentary from certain Muslim groups who have in their explanations diverted the understanding of the text from the intent of its author.

 

Hashiyah al-Muwaffaq ala Lum'ah al-Muwaffaq attempts to correct this divergence and seeks to explain the text according to the intent of Shaykh al-Islam ibn Qudamah, restoring it back in line with the methodology of the true Ahl al-Hadith. The commentator, Shaykh Yusuf bin Sadiq al-Hanbali, is one of the few traditional Hanbali shaykhs who has studied under both senior scholars from within Jami'ah al-Azhar al-Sharif and outside of it. By presenting this commentary, we hope the reader becomes well acquainted with the true Athari-Hanbali 'aqidah and is then able to engage with the more intermediate works of this madhhab.

 

 

Hashiyah al-Muwaffaq ala Lum'ah al-Muwaffaq : This book is Shaykh Yusuf bin Sadiq al Hanabli’s commentary on Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Qudama al Maqdis’s, rahimahullah, famous Lum'ah al I'tiqad al Hadi ila Sabeel al Rashad.
