Sharh Qawaid Al-Muthla - Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen - شرح القواعد المثلى في صفات الله وأسمائه الحسنى

Sharh al-Qawa'id al-Muthla fi Sifat Allah wa Asma'ihi al-Husna — شرح القواعد المثلى في صفات الله وأسمائه الحسنى — Shaykh Muhammad ibn Salih al-Uthaymeen

The explanation by Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen of his own treatise al-Qawa'id al-Muthla fi Sifat Allah wa Asma'ihi al-Husna (The Ideal Principles Regarding Allah's Attributes and His Beautiful Names). This is one of the most important contemporary works on the topic of Allah's Names and Attributes according to the methodology of the Salaf.

The original text lays out a set of precise, systematic rules governing how Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah understand and affirm the Names and Attributes of Allah — without ta'til (denial), tamthil (likening), takyif (asking how), or tahrif (distortion). It is divided into three main sections: rules pertaining to the Names of Allah (seven rules), rules pertaining to the Attributes of Allah (six rules), and rules pertaining to the evidences used in establishing the Names and Attributes (five rules). The treatise also addresses the meaning of Allah's Ma'iyyah (being with His creation) and refutes the positions of the Mu'attilah, Mushabbihah, and the people of Hulool and Ittihad.

Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen's sharh expands on each rule with examples, evidences, and clarifications that make this complex subject accessible to students at every level. Arabic, hardcover.

A cornerstone text for anyone studying Tawhid al-Asma' wal-Sifat.
