Aqeedatut tahawiyyah
Question
What is aqeedatut tahaweeya? Do all the people of ahl sunnah wal jamaat and followers of Aimma Arba believe in aqeedatut tahaweeya?
Answer
The Aqaaid explained in Aqidah at Tahawiyyah conforms to the Aqeedah of the Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jamaah. Similarly the Aqaaid explained in Aqidah at Tahawiyyah conforms to the Aqaaid explained in other kitaabs of Aqeedah (e.g. Alfiqhul Akbar, Sharhul Aqaaid, etc). This is an indication that whatever is contained in Aqidah at Tahawiyyah has been unanimously approved off, since there is no contradiction found in it against the Aqaaid of the Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jamaah. Allama Subki (Rahmatullahi Alayh) has mentioned that all the Ulama of the Ummah have accepted the Aqaaid that appear in Aqidah at Tahawiyyah.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
