ABOUT THE BOOK: This is a translation of the Arabic booklet entitled: Mujmal Usool Ahlus-Sunnah wal Jamaa'ah fil-'Aqeedah [A Summary of the Fundamental Precepts of The People of the Sunnah and the Jamaa'ah With Regards Beliefs and Creed], written by Shaykh Naasir al-'Aql, may Allaah protect him. Since there were certain terms and concepts, which were difficult to render into sound English, I took recourse to brother Ali at-Tamimi's translation of the book, which appeared in al-Basheer magazine a number of years ago. [Al-Basheer magazine (March-April 1993CE; pp.8-20)]. May Allaah reward him with goodness and may He also reward those who aided in checking and editing this present translation. Indeed Allaah is the One Who hears and the One Who responds. Finally, all praise is for Allaah, Lord of the worlds; and may He extol and send the blessings of peace upon our master and leader (Sayyid), Muhammad; and upon his Family, Companions and all those who follow them upon goodness.
