The Creed of the Early Muslims: Al-Aqīda al-Ṭaḥāwīya

Al-Aqīda al-Ṭaḥāwīya In Five Sessions

This course returns to the foundation of our faith — the earliest and most authoritative text of Sunni theology: al-ʿAqīdah al-Ṭaḥāwiyyah by Imām Abū Jaʿfar al-Ṭaḥāwī (239–321 AH / 853–933 CE), a concise statement that preserved the beliefs of Ahl al-Sunnah wa’l-Jamāʿah for over a millennium.
What This Series Is About

• When someone asks, “Who is Allah?” or “What do Muslims believe in?” — how confident are you in your answer?
• Do you know what every Muslim must believe about God, destiny, and the Hereafter?
• Could you explain Islam’s creed if you were challenged?

Why It Matters
In a world of confusion and misinformation, grounding your faith in the classical creed connects you directly to the clarity of the Prophet ﷺ and his earliest inheritors. Understand what Muslims believe, why we believe it, and how our scholars defended that belief for centuries.
