The Book in hand is a summary of the Faiths and beliefs of mainstream Muslims Spread all over the globe. Muslim Scholars are unanimous in opinion that the articles of faith, as formulated by Imam Tahawi in the treatise reproduced here, most accurately reflect the mind and understanding of the earliest Muslims.
It is free from incorrect interpretations, over-exemplification, and any distortion of the ideas promulgated by Islam. There is also a general agreement that the commentary on Tahawi's work as done by Abi Al-Izz is an accurate elucidation of what Tahawi meant to express. Also, it strives to be very close to the texts of the Qur'an and the prophetic saying, and, without over-stretching the meaning, attempts to project the opinion of the great majority of scholars in matters about the Islamic creed.
It would be interesting for the followers of other faith to compare their faith and beliefs with those of Islam as illustrated in this standard Textual work that dates back to the late third Islamic century. Further, since the Muslim creed, truly dating back to the Prophetic times has never undergone revision, this book should help the non-Muslims to get an insight into the Muslim mind.
