The classic work of the great scholar of the scholar of Najd, Shaykh al-Islām Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Wahhāb (raḥimahullāh), Nawāqiḍ al-Islām, ‘Thingsthat Nullify One’s Islām,’ is explained by the virtuous shaykh, Ṣāliḥ al-Fawzān (may Allaah preserve him), passage by passage, in a way that will help the Muslims grasp a clear understanding of the nature of the things that nullify one’s Islām and their manifestations.
Stated Shaykh Ṣāliḥ al-Fawzān in his introduction: “Knowledge of them is very important for the Muslim, so that he can stay away from them and be warned about them. And also if the Muslim is not aware of them, then it is feared that he may somehow fall into one of them. It is an issue of great significance an d extreme importance, since they are the very things that nullify one’s Islām and invalidate it. So then knowledge of
the reasons for apostasy is very important.” Included are 33 questions on the topic, answered by Shaykh Ṣāliḥ himself, a number of passages from his other works in the footnotes and in separate appendixes, along with the complete text of the original ‘Things that Nullify One’s Islām’ in Arabic. This publication, personally approved by Shaykh Ṣāliḥ al-Fawzān, is expected to have a great impact on the Muslims’ understanding of their religion, in shāʾ Allāh, and cause many to take heed about vital affairs that have often been ignored or given little regard.
