Islamic Creed and Divine Unity: The Authentic Creed of Islam, (Paperback)

<p><strong>What does a Muslim actually believe, and on what basis?</strong></p><p><em>Islamic Creed and Divine Unity</em> answers that question with rigour, clarity, and a sustained commitment to evidence. Written by Al-Sayyid al-Shaykh Hasan al-Saqqaf, a leading contemporary scholar of hadith, creed, and theology, this work presents the creed of Islam as established by the Noble Quran, the sound Sunnah, sound reason, and the verified inheritance of the scholarly tradition.</p><p>The book examines foundational questions of belief while critically addressing weak narrations, inherited errors, anthropomorphism, misinterpretation, and blind imitation. Rather than merely repeating dominant formulations, the author returns to the sources, weighing claims against the Quran, established prophetic reports, and the principles of hadith criticism. The result is a work of creed grounded in certainty, evidence, and divine transcendence.</p><p>Across five chapters, the book covers the valid and invalid evidences for belief, the preliminary obligations of faith, the divine attributes and the absolute transcendence of God, prophethood and the qualities of the messengers, and the transmitted matters of the unseen, including the angels, the intermediate realm, the Last Day, and the Prophet's household.</p><p>This English edition has been prepared with both students and serious general readers in mind. Each chapter opens with a summary to orient the reader and closes with questions for reflection. A chapter-by-chapter glossary of key theological terms and a full index further support study and reference.</p><p>This is a book for readers who want to understand Islamic creed not as inherited formulas alone, but as a living engagement with the Quran, sound reason, and the best of the scholarly tradition.</p>
