The Four Rules

Al-Qawāʿid al-Arbaʿ (The Four Rules) by Shaykh Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Wahhāb, translated by Abu Iyaad, is a short but foundational treatise on Islamic creed. It explains four key principles that distinguish true monotheism (tawḥīd) from polytheism (shirk), clarifying common misconceptions about intercession, worship of saints, and reliance upon other than Allah. The work serves as a clear guide for Muslims to protect their faith and worship Allah alone.
