Al-Aqeeda of Imam al-Tahawi is a simple yet profound expression of the essential points of Muslim belief. In this course Shaykh

Akram explains these points in an intellectually liberating and spiritually uplifting way showing, throughout, how they can be

the basis for unifying divergent theological positions in this day and age. Undoubtedly this will be one of the best Aqeedah

courses you would have ever attended InshaAllah.
