A CRITICAL STUDY OF SHIRK

Muhammad ibn °Abd al-Wahhab’s Kashf al-Shubuha ‘t

About the Book This work, which is a detailed explanation of one of Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-\X/ahhab’s most important works, deals with explaining and refuting the evidences that were used by certain Muslim groups of his time to justify acts of shirk (the act of associating partners with Allah). It is entitled Kashf a/-Shubuhat which literally translates as; ‘The Clearing of Doubts’. lbn ‘Abd al-\X/ahhab intended in this work to. expose the falsity and speciousness of these arguments by proving that the pagans whom the Prophet (as) fought utilised the exact same arguments and fell prey to the same reasoning as these modern practitioners of shirI< did. lt is one of the most advanced works on the subject, and over a dozen different arguments and evidences used to justify shirk are presented and then refuted. In order to maximise the benefit of this work, introductory sections conceming other aspects of shirI< not mentioned by lbn °Abd al-\X/ahhab have been added by the author. To this end, the work discusses the definitions of shirk, the importance of knowing shirk, the difference between shirI< and kufr, the types and categories of shirI<, the history of shirI<, the evils and futility of shirI<, the causes of shirk, and other related topics. ln addition, a brief biography of Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhab is included as a preface to the text of his book.
