Kitab al-Tawheed: The Basis of Islam and the Reality of Monotheism Vol 1

Few if any contemporary Islamic works can truly be described as monumental, let alone ground-breaking. Kitāb al-Tawḥeed: The Basis of Islam and the Reality of Monotheism,is truly a landmark work, occupying a unique place amongst a contemporary landscape often bereft of original insightful scholarly work.

The book represents an in-depth study into the very root origins of Islam, the essential nature of Tawḥeed (monotheism). Coupled with that, it tackles head on not only the age-old problem concerning the precise nature of Shirk (polytheism) and worship, but how these topics invariably correspond to contemporary issues like ruling, governance and allegiance. Liberated from the confused ill-disciplined divisions and historical blunders, primacy is given to the original textual sources, challenging many of the phantasms that have plagued Islamic thought for far too long.

Volume 1 of the series comprises topics relating to the foundations of Islam and its fundamental doctrinal principles.

Professor Muḥammad ibn Abdullah al-Massari, may Allah preserve him, is Professor Emeritus of Theoretical and Mathematical Physics, author of pioneering Islamic works.
