By al-'Allaamah Muhammad Amaan al-Jaamee with Shaykh Ibraheem ar-Ruhaylee

Review:

A detailed overview of the pure ‘Aqeedah of Islaam. An explanation by the great Scholar from Ethiopia, Shaykh Muhammad Aamaan al-Jaamee.  One who Imaam Ibn Baaz praised as ‘A possessors of a sound 'aqeedah’.

This two-tape set produces countless knowledge-filled points clarifying the ‘Aqeedah of Islaam. The Shaykh brings Verses from the Qur’aan, Ahadeeth from the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam), narrations from the Companions of the Messenger (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam), statements from the Salaf and quotes from the Imaams of Ahlus-Sunnah wal Jamaa’ah.

From amongst the topics discussed:

The Fitraa (Natural Disposition)

Shaykh Muhammad stated, ‘Practising a Deen is a natural disposition of a Human being… Allaah created the worshippers upon Tawheed’. ‘All people are born upon the Fitraa (natural disposition)’. The Shaykh mentions that ‘All Humans have a deen (way of life) from the Hindus to the fire worshippers’. ‘If you mentioned to one who was raised with animals, Where is Allaah? He would know his fitraa’. ‘If one were to lose his camel, he would point to the sky and ask his Lord’. He states the famous Hadeeth of the Slave-girl who knew her Fitraa when asked ‘Where is Allaah?’ ‘When one faces sever problems, one automatically turns to his Lord, his fitraa, not right nor left but to his Lord and this is a proof of Allaah’. He states ‘Allaah would not have sent down his Messengers or his books for no reason’.

The Shahadah (Testimony of Faith) and The meaning of Ibaadah (Worship)

The Shaykh goes on to underline the importance of knowing the meaning of the Shahadaah; ‘The meaning of Worship to most of the Muslims is the pillars but the reality of the Worship is the ultimate humility along with the ultimate love for Allaah’.

From the Questions:

[Q] Our Youth are upon different ways and the people of confusion are plentiful. Some of the Du’aat (callers) have doubts in regards to teaching ‘Aqeedah because it divides the Muslims. What should we do?

[A] Yes, The ‘Aqeedah of Islaam divides, the ‘Aqeedah divides, Islaam divides, the Qur’aan divides. Those who do not accept this do not accept the creed of Islaam. With what will we fight our enemies with if we do not know pure Tawheed and the correct ‘Aqeedah? Are you just satisfied with the label of Muslim? Will you unite the people with this? This is impossible. As for the one who doesn’t command with al-Walaa wal baraa (allegiance and enmity in Creed), he wants to unite the people, Shee’ee, Sunnee, Mubtadee, he needs to study the Deen. This is an annihilation of Islaam!  

Those who wish to call to a group, this principle of studying the ‘Aqeedah does not satisfy them. Leaving off ‘Aqeedah brings weakness, separation and innovation to the Ummah. Do not allow this misconduct, the Tawfeeq is with Allaah!
