Concise Notes on the Aqeedah of Imaam at-Tahaawee

The most important thing to a believer is their belief and creed. The importance and need of the proper belief and creed is not rivaled by the need for food and drink, clothing or shelter. This is the reality; thus all those who understand and take heed realize that studying it is not a want but rather a need. The creed is that which is found in the Qur’an and Sunnah, not that imagined by man nor that which conforms to wishes and desires. The correct creed is that which the Sahaabah (companions of the Prophet) were upon. Consequently, all those who truly are concerned with guidance must believe as they believed. Allah says what means,

“So if they believe in the like of that which you believe, then they are rightly guided.” (Al-Baqarah: 137)
