Few if any contemporary Islamic works can truly be described as monumental, let alone ground-breaking. Kitāb al-Tawḥeed: The Basis of Islam and the Reality of Monotheism, is truly a landmark work, occupying a unique place amongst a contemporary landscape often bereft of original insightful scholarly work.
Liberated from the confused ill-disciplined divisions and historical blunders, primacy is given to the original textual sources, challenging many of the phantasms that have plagued Islamic thought for far too long.
Continuing with the broad theme of topics relating to the foundations of Islam and its fundamental doctrinal principles, Volume 2 of the series covers the definition and proofs underpinning Tawḥeed (monotheism). An in depth critical examination of the historic reality of Shirk (polytheism) in Arabia is also covered, which addresses head on and dispels many of the myths which have been plaguing Islamic scholarship in this area for generations.
Professor Muḥammad ibn Abdullah al-Massari, may Allah preserve him, is Professor Emeritus of Theoretical and Mathematical Physics, author of pioneering Islamic works.
