An absolutely amazing book. Anyone who wants to know about the fundamentals of Orthodox Islamic Aqeedah can rely upon it. It answers both what Muslims believe, and why Muslims believe.

Good book, the fact that this book is free to read & download is even better. But there is a big problem within the book in page 24. Where it said:
"We would respond: Allah جل جلاله knew what humans would choose given His all encompassing Knowledge, and He has chosen to create their actions for them in accordance with some of what they willed for themselves. Therefore, His being the creator of their actions, does not entail their compulsion."
This is wrong. Firstly, the poem itself said:
"[64] For remember that everything occurs in accordance with His eternal Will and Power,
And none of His creatures can escape them."
Secondly, when Ibn Hajar Al Asqalani address the Qadariyya, he quoted from Al Qurthubi, he said, "This understanding has become extinct. We don't know that there are people who later attribute themselves to this understanding.
He continued, "As for the qadariyyah who exist today (namely in the time he lived) believe that Allah already knows what His servant will do before it happens. But they differ from the salaf by assuming that the servant's actions are the result of the ability and creation of the servant himself (not originating from God's will and creation). Even though both understandings are incorrect, the second understanding has less damage than the original understanding".

Overall, the book is good.
