This explanation of Usul ath thaalaatha was pretty good. It explained all the wajib matters when it pertains to aqeedah, especially Tawheed rububiyyah and Tawheed al uluhiyyah. Giving evidence for Allahs lordship with evidence from the sharia texts, as well as universal ayat, which is evidences from the creation such as the moon, the stars and how the sun orbits around the earth, with dalil from the book of Allah. Also the book tackled the subject of al Wala wal bara, which is an important matter which frankly many people don’t understand, the sheikh hafizullah discusses that we don’t love the kufar however we don’t be harsh to them or even hurt them, we simply guide them to the truth and be gentle to them through dawah and conduct. The main point and aspect of the book are its discussions about singling out all types of worship which are legislated in the Quran and prophetic sunnah. Such as fear, awe, sacrifice etc. they sheikh brings dalil for each one and why we should simply do it for Allah alone. It also brings refutations on one’s which people may have gone extreme on such as the Sufis and discuss their errors in them. The book also gives a nice very concise biography on the Messenger صَلَّى ٱللَّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ on his dawah in Makkah first which was Tawheed. Before any legislations such as zakah, hajj, sawm or even praying, which came later after the night journey. It discusses that Tawheed had to be set in place first for any legislations to be set for the Muslims, which came in Madinah after migration from Makkah. Lastly, the book ends on the subject of taghut. Ibnul Qayyim (May Allaah have mercy upon him) said: “At-taaghoot is anyone whom the servants go beyond the due bounds, whether it is someone worshipped, obeyed or followed.” The taaghoot are many, and their heads are five:
1. Iblees (Satan), may Allaah’s curse be upon him.
2. Whoever is worshipped and is pleased with that.
3. Whoever calls the people to worship them.
4. Whoever claims to possess anything from the knowledge of the affairs of the hidden and unseen.
5. Whoever judges by other than what Allaah sent down.
The taghut section was taken from https://abdurrahman.org/2010/02/07/th...
