Sharh Kashf ash-Shubuhat | Shaykh Abd al-Razzaq al-Badr

Sharḥ Kashf ash-Shubuhāt by Shaykh ʿAbd al-Razzāq ibn ʿAbd al-Muḥsin al-Badr explains and clarifies the doubts that are commonly used to justify shirk, especially the claim that calling upon the righteous or the dead is not worship. Building upon the original work of Shaykh Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Wahhāb, the shaykh systematically refutes these misconceptions using clear Qurʾānic proofs, authentic ḥadīth, and the understanding of the Salaf. He emphasizes that the mushrikūn affirmed Allah’s lordship yet fell into shirk by directing acts of worship such as duʿāʾ, reliance, and seeking aid to others besides Allah, and he highlights that true tawḥīd requires singling Allah out in all forms of worship while rejecting all intermediaries and false justifications.
