This book consists of several scholarly explanations of the classical work on Tawheed and Shirk. “The Four Rules”, which was written by the Imaam and Mujaddid of the 13th century, Muhammad bin ‘Abdil-Wahhaab, may Allaah have mercy on him.
It is called “The Four Rules” because it consists of four fundamental basics which one can use to distinguish a believer from a disbeliever and a polytheist from a monotheist. This treatise is considered one of the Imaam’s more significant works. Even though it may be more concise than some of his other works, it is just as comprehensive in terms of the information covered and points of benefit discussed.
Explanations included:
- Shaykh ‘Abdul-‘Azeez bin Baaz
- Shaykh Saalih Al-Fawzaan
- Shaykh Saalih Al-Luhaydaan
- Shaykh ‘Abdul-‘Azeez Ar-Raajihee
- Shaykh Ahmad An-Najmee
- Shaykh Zayd Al-Madkhalee
- Shaykh Saalih Aali Shaikh
- Shaykh ‘Abdul-‘Azeez Ar-Rayyis

In seeking to follow in the footsteps of some of the Imams of Islam who clarified matters of the Islamic belief system by way of poetry, such as Ibn Abee Dawud (d.316H) in his Haa’iyah, al-Nuniyyah by al-Qahtaani (d.383H), al-Laamiyyah attributed to Shaykhul Islam ibn Taymiyyah (d.728H), al-Kaafiyah al-Shaafiyah by Ibn al-Qayyim (d.751H), and Sullam al-Wusool fi ‘Ilm al-Usool by Shaykh Haafidh Al-Hakami (d.1377H) (May Allah have mercy on him), I have composed the following lines of poetry in the English language on some of the core beliefs of the Muslim. We ask Allah the Most High to make it beneficial for those who hear it and read it. Indeed, He is the All-Hearer, the One Who responds to the supplications.

The book that lies in front of you – dear reader – is a concise expression of sound ’Aqeedah from one of its earliest sources. Sharhus-Sunnah was penned by the Noble Imaam Ismaaeel Ibn Yahyaa al-Muzanee (d.264H) – the student of Imaam ash-Shaafi’ee (d.204H) – over a millenium ago. In this return to the earliest sources of Islaam, the Imaam covers all of the foundational issues of faith in Islaam including, Allaah’s ascendancy over the creation, the Qadr (pre-decree), Eem&aan, the Qur‘aan, the Attributes of Allaah, the Resurrection, Seeing Allaah in the Hereafter, the Companions and much more.
The ancient text has been explained by the former Muftee of the Jeezaaan province in Saudi Arabia, al-’Allaamah Ahmad Ibn Yahyaa an-Najmee (d.1429H). The commentary is included to make this work comprehensible and clear to the average Muslim reader. Additional notes have been added from various printings of Sharhus-Sunnah to provide a comprehensive and historical context to the benefits contained herein. So we hope – as Imaam al-Muzanee hoped – that this book will, “clarify to you from the Sunnah an affair that you may make yourself patient in adherence to it and avert thereby the doubtful sayings and the deviation in the newly-invented affairs of the misguided ones.”
