Ibn Taymiyyah on The Oneness of God (Dalail Tawhid al-Rububiyah)

This bilingual book is the first in a planned series of translations from Ibn Taymiyyah's theological works. It covers a wide range of topics, from the evidence of God's perfection to the compatibility of divine predestination with human moral agency. The series aims to provide English-speaking readers access to Ibn Taymiyyah's articulations of these important matters of faith. This English series is much needed in response to the current challenges posed by growing trends of atheism. Ibn Taymiyyah's exceptional insight and distinguished explanations of Quranic arguments have helped many Muslims remain intellectually satisfied in the face of doubts and challenges presented by competing worldviews. In Sharh al-Asfahaniyyah, Ibn Taymiyyah criticizes the theology of al-Asfahani and other Kalam theologians and offers alternative rational arguments for God's Oneness from the Qur'an. This book provides a lengthy explanation of two specific arguments from the chapter of Al-Mu'minun.
