﷽ Alhamdu li Allāh, this was a really good review of the basics on Pillars of Islam and the Pillars of Faith. While not diving too deeply into Aqeedah, it is good for the new revert and for someone who is trying to turn back to Allāh (ﷻ). This book definitely helped me to learn how to phrase certain ideas more clearly and gave a general foundation for what to teach first. I also benefited greatly, Alhamdu li Allāh, from the review of fiqhi matters, such as manner of making wudhu, finger placement in Tashahhud, and the way to wash the body after passing. There is so much benefit in this book for those interested in relearning the basics or having a quick overview. I would have preferred deeper dives into Aqeedah, but I understand that such is not the point of the book. May Allāh (ﷻ) bless the Honorable Shaykh Bin Baz immensely and reward him with Jannatul Firdaws, Ameen.
Important and timeless reminders from Sheikh bin Baz (may Allah preserve him). The Sheikh has outlined important tafseer verses of the Quran, including lessons in tawheed, aqeedah and even fiqh in this book into one concise reference.
