A Commentary on The Creed of al-Imam al-Tahawi (Arabic & English)

Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan’s commentary takes the classical creed Al-‘Aqidah al-Tahawiyyah of Imam al-Tahawi and explains each point with clarity, evidences from the Qur’an and Sunnah, and refutations of misunderstandings. He aims to show how Tahawi’s creed reflects the beliefs of Ahl al-Sunnah wa’l-Jama‘ah, in particular aligning the Hanafi theological stance with the broader Sunni consensus. The commentary is particularly concerned with correcting modern distortions—people who claim Hanafi affiliation in jurisprudence but adopt views in creed contrary to Hanafi/Ahl al-Sunnah theology, especially those adopting kalām-style innovations. Overall, the work serves both as a teaching tool for believers who want a sound creed, and a reference for scholars engaging theological debates in the contemporary era.
