Fundamental Teachings of Islam – Part 3, just like Part's 1 and 2 includes Question and Answer section at the end of each chapter. This work is the English translation of Part Three of Islam ki Bunyadi Batein.

This book ‘Fundamental Teachings of Islam (Part 3)’ is actually a part of the series ‘Madani Nisab Baraye Qai’dah and Madani Nisab Baray-e-Naazirah’. Basically, all of these three books were written for the Madani boys and girls gaining the education of Hifz and Naazirah at Madrasa-tul-Madinah. However, considering its rising popularity amongst the common people as well as amongst prominent individuals, the Majlis has decided to change its name so that its usefulness is not limited to Madani boys and girls but rather every common and prominent person benefits from it. Therefore,  Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat, founder of Dawat-e-Islami, ‘Allamah Maulana Abu Bilal Muhammad Ilyas Attar Qaadiri Razavi has renamed it ‘Islam ki Bunyadi Baatayn’ i.e. ‘Fundamental Teachings of Islam.’ Hence, this book series will now be published with the very same name. The presentation of this book is a joint effort of Majlis Madrasa-tul-Madinah and Majlis Al-Madina-tul-‘Ilmiyyah, whereas its Shar’i scrutiny has been carried out by Dar-ul-Ifta Ahl-e-Sunnat. It has been translated into English by Majlis-e-Tarajim.
