"Belief of the first generations of Muslims and the followers of hadith."

"Belief of the first generations of Muslims and the followers of hadith."

Indeed, the correct creed ( 'Aqidah) - this is the best and most important in the religion of Islam, for it is with their help, people will know the true way of their Lord. When Malik ibn Dinar said: "The inhabitants of this world had left him, and have not tasted the best in him." He was asked: "What is this, O Abu Yahya" He said: "The knowledge of Allah Almighty," al-Dinur 1879 Abu Nu'aym 2/358

Belief is the essence of divine guidance, by which we come to know our Lord, and Exalted is He glorious. This knowledge makes us zealous to keep His commandments and give up His prohibitions, and thanks to them we know what reward awaits for His obedient slaves, and what penalties await those who disobeyed.

Thus, we present the attention of the Russian-speaking Muslims the message of Shaykh al-Islam and the leader of the Muslims (in the words of him al-Bayhaki) hadith expert and interpreter of the Qur'an, Imam Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah of his time - Abu 'Uthman' Isma'ilya ibn ' Abdur-Rahman al-Sabuni, who died in the year 449 AH.

This message, which he called a "creed of the first generations of Muslims and the followers of hadith", a very important and useful work, which relied on and who have paid attention to the imams and scholars at all times. Not once in his books such scholars like Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah and Ibn al-Imam Kayim, turned to him, resulting in his quotes on the subject. See. "Sharh 'Aqidah Al-Asfahaniya" 29, "Dar al-ta'arud al-wa-'akl nnakl", "Idzhtima'ul-dzhuyush al-Islyamov" 97.
