Imam Ghazali's Qawa'id al-'Aqa'id: The Foundation of Belief
Hover over an image to enlarge
The fundamental doctrines of Islamic belief have long been preserved in concise creedal texts. Among the most well-known is the creed authored by one of Islam’s foremost scholars, Abū Ḥāmid al-Ghazālī (d. 505/1111), whose succinct and balanced articulation of Sunni theology has made his work a popular teaching text since its composition.
One commentary on this creed—relatively unknown among English-language readers—is that of the 15th-century Shādhilī Ṣūfī reformer of Morocco, Sīdī Aḥmad Zarrūq (d. 899/1493), titled Ightinām al-Fawā’id fī Sharḥ Qawāʿid al-ʿAqāʾid. Distinguished by its clarity and accessibility, Zarrūq’s commentary serves as an excellent guide for readers seeking familiarity with the key terms, concepts, and arguments of orthodox Sunnī doctrine.
