註釋Reliable Creed for a Community in Need --Pocketbook (English & Arabic) is a rhyming English translation of Imam Tahawi's famous formulation of orthodox Islamic theology. Abu Jafar Ahmad b. Muhammad al-Tahawi's (d. 933) text on creed is the most widely accepted exposition of the beliefs of Ahl al-Sunnah wa'l-Jama`ah, or Sunni Islam. Students pursuing a traditional curriculum in Islamic sciences begin by studying short primer texts that introduce three foundational subjects: theology (`aqidah), essentials of individual religions practice (fiqh) within the guidelines of a recognized school of jurisprudence (madhhab), and spiritual refinement (tasawwuf). To facilitate the learning process, those texts have often been adapted to rhyme, which makes them easier to commit to memory. This book is designed to aid students in memorizing the concepts expressed in Imam Tahawi's classic manual of orthodox Sunni belief in English. The English translation is accompanied by the Arabic text by Tahawi on facing pages.
