The Exposition of the Sunnah

This text by the Noble Imam, Abu Muhammad Al-Barbahari (d.329), may Allah have mercy upon him, continues our series on texts that cover the theology or creedal matters of our Religion. 

This text, Exposition of the Sunnah, represents the final expression of the creed of the First  Three Generations (Ar.salaf) before the rise of the creed texts authored and widely circulated by the latter-day generations (Ar.khalaf).                                                                                                                    
So for Muslims looking to have a more whole view of the creed of the First Three Generations and the Successors to the Imam of Muslim Orthodoxy (Ar.Ahl us-Sunnati wal-Jama`ah), Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal (d.231), may Allah be pleased with him, this text is the perfect fit.  
  
Included within its pages are topics covering the Names and Attributes of Allah, the doctrine of tafwid, the inherent dangers of ta‘wil, the rank of the Companions and their Successors as well as establishing the doctrine that the rightly guided Muslims are a visible body of people that can be seen globally and not merely some mystical or unknown party that we must search for in order to be in agreement with.  
  
Added benefits to this text include useful notes and five appendicies thatanswer current misconceptions raised by athiests, cultists, wayward Muslims as well as those led into confusion by the aforementioned. Imam Al-Barbahari‘s Exposition of the Sunnah represents a clear, concise and yet detailed text of the theology of Muslim Orthodoxy for each Muslim or inquisitive non-Muslim to appraise and appreciate.
