Since I have been here, the Shaykh has taught the following three treatises on Tawheed:
One: Tajreed at-Tawheed al-Mufeed by al-Imam al-‘Allaamah Ahmad bin ‘Alee al-Maqreezee (766-845 A.H.) published by Daar ‘Aalam al-Fawaaid consisting of 112 pages. The copy I have has an introduction, a biography, and brief outline of the treatise in addition to a copy of the original manuscript. The text has been verified by ‘Alee bin Muhammad al-‘Imraan using several old manuscripts.
This beneficial treatise focuses on the inner teachings of Tawheed ar-Ruboobiyyah and al-Uloohiyyah. I have come across an excellent translation of it here.
Two: Tatheer-ul-I’tiqaad ‘an Adraan al-Ilhaad, written by al-Imam, Muhammad bin Ismaa’eel as-San’aanee (D. 1182 A.H.), printed by Daar-ut-Tawheed, consisting of 48 pages. This short text covers 5 important principles regarding at-Tawheed, then refutes the claims of the grave worshipers in a question and answer style that Imam as-San’aanee is well known for.
I translated the introduction and 5 principles years ago, but I never completed it. Maybe someone else has done it.
Three: ad-Durrur an-Nadheed fee Ikhlaas Kalimat-it-Tawheed, by al-Imam Muhammad bin ‘Alee ash-Shawkaanee, printed by Daar Ibn Khuzaymah, consisting of 139 pages. The Shaykh just started this text which is another series refuting the grave worshipers and explaining the issues of at-Tawwasul and ash-Shafaa’ah. The Shaykh has given three classes so far and stopped a couple of weeks ago for the summer vacation.
The Shaykh teaches the text and then moves on to the next one after he finishes it. This is one of my favorite classes and made me realize the immense importance of studying and learning Tawheed in a time when many Muslims and non-Muslims alike are distancing themselves from the Creator and faith.
