Book Review: al-Waajibaat-ul-Mutahattamaat-ul-Ma'rifah 'alaa Kulli Muslim wa Muslimah

الوَاجِبَةُ المُتَحَتَّمَاتُ المَعْرِفَة عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ وَ مُسْلِمَةٍ

This is a very concise yet beneficial compilation of the various important points that every Muslim should know about thier Religion. It was compiled by ash-Shaykh Abdullah bin Ibraaheem bin Uthmaan al-Qar'aawee referencing all of the texts of Shaykh-ul-Islaam Muhammad bin Abdil-Wahhaab (rahimahullah). I would translate the title as:

{The Neccessary Obligations of Knowledge that every Muslim Man and Female should know}

Now that is just a rough translation, I am sure others could render it better but as the title indicates this booklet focuses on every thing we should know concerning the fundamentals of our belief. It is thirty nine pages which includes the introduction by the compiler and an index.

I purchased my copy from a yemeni brother's Islamic bookstore in Dallas for like only $1.50. That was very cheap considering that most of the books that he had in the bookstore never sold because they were so expensive! I remember him having a deep hatred for Shaykh Muqbil (rahimahullah) and he used to make fun of the Shaykh, at any rate he had a whole bunch of booklets like this one on sale so I used to pull them off the shelf and go through each booklet, sometimes spending $30.00 dollars on thirty booklets of this type. You can really find some treasures by the Ulamaa in these bookstores, you just have to keep your eyes peeled.

I have included the index below to illustrate the contents of this enormous booklet. It may be small in size but it is without a doubt large in meaning! I have not run into anyone selling this book on thier site but if you ask the noble brothers at Salafi Library (hafithahumullah) about it, I am sure they can locate it for you.

(Index of Book)

The copy I own has print that is easy on my bad eyes, and while the vowel signs are not on all of the words, the Quranic verses are beautifully voweled. This book should be purchased and memorized once you get it.
