[AAC] Bidaah Al Taasub Al Madhhabi / بدعة التعصب المذهبي

Introduction

The Arabic word ‘Islam’ means ‘submission’, and is derived from the word meaning ‘peace’. In a religious context, Islam means complete submission to the will of Allah.

As such, Islam is not just a religion, but a “deen”, meaning “the way of life”. It addresses all aspects of a person’s life – from cradle to grave – with a complete guidance that touches upon both material as well as spiritual needs. The completeness of

Islam is emphasised in the following Qur’anic verse, meaning: “… This day I have perfected your religion for you, completed My blessing on you and approved Islam as the way of life for you”. (Surah Al-Maidah, 5: 3)

Commentary on the Three Fundamental Principles of Islam by Darussalam is an excellent book for everyone looking to correct their aqeedah. The commentary has been done by the virtuous Shaykh Al-Allamah Muhammad bin Salih Al-Uthaimin and the book also begins by his brief biography. The three fundamentals of Islam mentioned in this book are related to At-Tawhid, knowledge of Islam and knowledge about Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
