Kashf Ash Shubuhat English
Product Overview
“Kashf ash-Shubuhat” (literally: “Removal of the Doubts”) is a seminal work by Muhammad ibn ʿAbd al‑Wahhāb addressing the most prevalent doubts and misunderstandings surrounding the concept of tawḥīd (the oneness of Allāh) and the danger of shirk (partnering with Allāh). This particular edition is in English, making it accessible for non-Arabic readers who want a clear, concise, and impactful introduction to this crucial issue in Islamic creed.
Why This Edition Is Valuable
Core faith issue – The book tackles foundational matters of creed: what we believe about Allāh, how we worship, and how mis-beliefs and doubts affect the Muslim’s īmān (faith).
Accessible English translation – Allows students and readers who are not proficient in Arabic to engage with this important text.
Compact yet potent – Though it’s relatively short, the treatise packs strong arguments, definitions and responses to common misunderstandings.
Practical for study & reflection – Excellent for personal study, circle discussions, or as a reference in teaching the basics of aqīdah (Islamic creed).
Suitable For
Students of knowledge who wish to strengthen their understanding of tawḥīd and avoid the pitfalls of shirk.
Teachers, study circle leaders looking for a reliable English-text resource for creed sessions.
Non-Arabic readers who want to engage with classical-Islamic creed literature in a translated form.
Muslim readers who want a succinct yet deep refresher on their foundational beliefs.
Additional Notes
Even though it is in English, some terminology and theological concepts will be more easily understood if you already have some familiarity with Islamic belief-terms (e.g., ṣifāt Allāh, shirk, taṣbīḥ, ta‘ṭīl).
Best used with a notebook: write down the key definitions, reflect on the doubts it raises, mark issues you want further clarification on.
Ideally, supplement this reading with a trusted scholar’s commentary or Q&A to explore deeper layers of meaning.
Re-reading after an interval is beneficial — many readers find that the second pass brings out subtleties missed the first time.
