The Four Rules (Al Qawa id al Arba) is a concise yet powerful treatise by Shaikh al Islam Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab, explaining essential principles of Tawhid (Islamic monotheism) and the dangers of Shirk (associating partners with Allah). This edition, translated by Abu Iyaad Amjad Rafiq, presents these foundational concepts in a clear and accessible English format. The four principles are derived directly from the Qur'an and Sunnah, along with insights into the condition of the Arabs during the time of the Prophet.
The book emphasizes that Tawhid is the foundation of all worship, and without it, actions such as prayer, fasting, and charity lose their value. It clarifies common misconceptions and protects the reader from doubts and deviations. A must have for every Muslim seeking a clear understanding of Tawhid and the core message of Islam.
