Aqeedatul Tahawi

“Aqeedatul Tahawi” (specifically, a commentary or explanation by Mufti Afzal Hoosen Elias) is a book dedicated to elucidating the classical and authoritative creedal text, Al-Aqeedah al-Tahawiyyah, written by the third-century scholar Imam Abu Ja’far al-Tahawi. Mufti Elias provides an accessible and practical explanation of this vital text, which outlines the sound, orthodox beliefs (Aqīdah) of Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jamā’ah, following the school of thought of the early Imams like Abu Hanifa, Abu Yusuf, and Muhammad al-Shaybani. This work systematically covers key theological issues, including Tawḥīd (Monotheism), prophethood, the status of the Companions, and eschatology, serving as an essential guide for lay readers and students seeking a clear understanding of the Hanafi/Māturīdī position on Islamic doctrine.
