Why Learn Aqidah?

​Islam is characterized by Islamic Creed (Aqida) – matters of Islamic beliefs which every Muslim shall know of and believe in with all conviction and certainty, with heart and soul.
Only pure Islamic Aqida (Creed) that is free from all innovation, superstition, false beliefs, false interpretation and denials will help a Muslim lead a life as ordained by Allah (SWT) and His Last Messenger, Prophet Mohammed (PBUH).
It is always incumbent upon every Muslim to have authentic knowledge of the matters of Aqida. It is important to acquire correct beliefs which shall be in accordance to book of Allah, the sayings of the prophet Mohammed (PBUH), the Sahabah (the companions) and the Salaf (the pious predecessors).
Therefore, this short course has been carefully designed to provide an opportunity for the Muslim Ummah to explore the Islamic creed as explained in Aqida al-Tahawiyyah by Imam Abu Ja’far al-Tahawi and thus strengthen their iman.
