Book of Emaan English Ibn-Taymiyyah

Kitab al-Iman (Book of Faith) is a cornerstone theological work by the renowned 13th-century scholar Ibn Taymiyyah, focusing on the fundamental concept of Iman (faith) in Islam. This volume, often translated by Salman Hassan Al-Ani and Shadia Ahmad Tel, is a meticulous scholarly defense of the orthodox Islamic position. Ibn Taymiyyah systematically clarifies that Iman is a comprehensive reality that encompasses belief in the heart, utterance by the tongue, and action of the limbs, and it is something that naturally increases and decreases. The work directly addresses and refutes the philosophical and sectarian deviations of groups like the Murji’ah and Khawarij regarding the definition of faith and the role of deeds, affirming the necessity of both for genuine Iman.
