The Testimony and Proofs of the Scholars.
About The Book: In an age in which intra-Muslim religious argumentation dominates, heterodox groups have tried and had great success in presenting their beliefs as normative Islam to the average lay Muslim. Unfortunately many of these beliefs are largely at odds with the classical articulations of Sunnī orthodoxy throughout the ages. This work, Ahl al-Sunna: The Ashʿarīs, aims to remedy this problem. Drawing from the works of Islam’s greatest scholars through the centuries, Shaykh Ḥamad al-Sinān and Shaykh Fawzī al-ʿAnjarī detail the genesis, rise, beliefs, and contributions of the Ashʿarī school of theology, and address—in a refreshingly fair-minded and non-sectarian way—common misconceptions about the Ashʿarī school and demonstrate how its rich religious discourse is firmly anchored in the Qurʾān, the Sunna, the way of the Companions, and sound reasoning.
