The great scholar Hujjat al-lslam Abu Jaafar al-Warraq al-Tahawi al-Misri, may Allah have mercy on him, said: This is a presentation of the beliefs of ahl-al-Sunnah wa al-Jama’ah, according to the school of the jurists of this religion, Abu Hanifah an-Nu’man ibn Thabit al-Kufi, Abu Yusuf Ya’qub ibn Ibrahim al-Ansari and Abu ‘Abdullah Muhammad ibn al-Hasan al-Shaybani, may Allah be pleased with them all, and what they believe regarding the funda- mentals of the religion and their faith in the Lord of all the Worlds.
The source of Ahlus-Sunnah in derivation is the Book and the Sunnah. They take from them, derive their evidences from them, and rely upon them. They do not deviate from them in the least. Rather, they are as Al-Awzaa’ee said:

The ancient text has been explained by the former Mufti of the Jizan province in Saudi Arabia, al ‘Allamah Ahmad Ibn Yahya an Najmi (d.1429H). The com-

Sharhus Sunnah to provide a comprehensive and historical context to the benefits contained herein. So we hope as Imam al-Muzani hoped that this book
will, “clarify to you from the Sunnah an affair that you may make yourself patient in adherence to it and avert thereby the doubtful sayings and the deviation
in the newly-invented affairs of the misguided ones.”
From the most noble and lofty stations of cognisance is to know the Lord, the Glorious, through His beauty. This is the knowledge possessed by the elite of his creation. All of them know Him through an Attribute from amongst His Attributes but those amongst them who have the most complete cognisance are those who know Him through His perfection, magnificence and beauty. There is nothing comparable to Him in any of His attributes, if you were to try and compare their collective outward and inward beauty to the beauty of the Lord, the Glorious; the comparison would be more ineffectual than a faint torch being held against the blazing disk of the sun.
As Muslims we have to understand that Islaam is a complete way of life for us. It is a guide for us, perfected by the Lord of the Worlds, and it is upon us to learn about it, and to follow it as best as we are able.
The stipulation from the Quran and Authentic Sunnah in-order for an individual’s Tawheed to be sound.
The matters that absolutely contradict a person’s Tawheed rendering it null and void.
The things that only affect its strength causing it to be weak and feeble.
In his usual, clear, investigative, analytic approach the eminent scholar, Shaykh Muhammed bin Saalih Al-Uthaymeen explained Kitaab at-Tawheed.
