Book Review – The Muslim Creed, A Contemporary Theological Study

Are you looking for a book to read? Look no further! On today’s segment, let’s review the book, The Muslim Creed, A Contemporary Theological Study. The book, authored by Dr. Amjad Hussain, aims to understand what Muslims believe in today and how these theological beliefs have been understood throughout the intellectual history of Islam. Let’s sit down and get Dr.Shabir Ally’s thoughts on this book.

I don't get the modernist approach to the religion. Islam is what the Prophet taught. Its only rational to take the Athari position because, the Sahabah took the Deen from the Prophet so its only natural that they would have the best understanding of it. That's the Athari creed, Quran and Sunnah upon the understanding of Salaf. Even Ablu Hasan Al Ashari in his book Al Ibanah denounced his previous Aqeedah and said that he has come to the Aqeedah of Imam Ahmad, which is well known to be Athari.
