التوحيد الذي هو حق الله على العبيد at Arabic Wikisource

Kitab at-Tawheed (Book of Monotheism) is a Sunni book about monotheism in the Athari school of thought. The book is the primary source for Wahhabi beliefs on monotheism.[6] The book was written by the Hanbali scholar Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab.[7] The book is banned in Russia since 16 July 2007 due to it being considered "extremist" by the Russian government.[8]

Summary

[edit]

The book focuses on how God is one and that God should only be worshipped alone without any middleman (called monotheism).[9] It also disapproves of the worship of more than one God (which is called polytheism or shirk) and also refutes innovation within Islam by strictly following the Qur'an and hadith.[10] The book also tries to show the dangers of polytheism to the reader and the punishment for polytheism in Islam.[11] The book also condemns the use of black magic or fortune telling (both called sihr or shirk) in any form such as amulets and astrology.[12]
