Book Review: Kitaab-ut-Tawheed

Kitaab-ut-Tawheed
Written by al-Imaam ‘Abdul-Ghanee al-Maqdisee
Printed by Daar as-Saqaa
Pages 95

Al-Imaam, al-Haafith, ‘Abdul-Ghanee bin ‘Abdul-Waahid bin ‘Alee bin Suroor al-Maqdisee (531-600 A.H.), may Allah have mercy upon him, compiled a collection of narrations along with their full chain of narrators concerning Tawheed. The text is divided into twenty-four topics on Tawheed and each narration is verified along with notes concerning finer points of the narration, by Muhamad ‘Abdur-Rahmaan an-Naablusee and ‘Abdul-Akram as-Saqaa. They both give an insightful introduction, a brief biography of the author, several copies of some of the pages from the original manuscript, and a detailed index of all of the narrations and subjects in the text for easy reference.

I bought this at a used bookstore here in Riyadh for a couple of Riyals hidden in a stack of dusty used books. I didn’t realize what a gem I had stumbled upon. I am not sure if this was ever reprinted but my copy was done in 1995.
