The Three Fundamentals and their Proofs

This is a brief explanation of the text “Nawāqiḍ al-Islām” (The Nullifiers of Islam) by Shaykh al-Islām Muḥammad ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhāb al-Tamīmī (may Allah have mercy on him). The author mentioned in it ten nullifiers of Islam that are agreed upon by the scholars of the Ummah. The nullifiers of Islam are everything that takes a person out of Islam into major disbelief — whether a statement, an action, or a belief of the heart. These are what the jurists habitually mention when discussing the ruling on the apostate. It is not known that anyone before Shaykh al-Islām authored an independent work on this topic. Hence, this short text has great importance among the people of knowledge, because the nullifiers of Islam are among the most important things that a Muslim should learn in order to beware of falling into them.

 Among what a student of knowledge should be keen on is mastering the rules and foundations that the Sharia has brought. Among the most important concise epistles concerned with this is a valuable epistle by Sheikh Al-Islam Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab (d. 1206 AH), which he named “The Six Foundations.” It is a treatise of six foundations that the scholars have given great attention to. The author presented and established them clearly and plainly, as affirmed by Allah and His Messenger ﷺ. Yet, many people have erred and deviated from what Allah has legislated.
