About the Book
This book consists of several scholarly explanations of the classical work on Tawheed and Shirk, Al-Qawa'id Al-Arba' ("The Four Rules"), written by the Imam and Mujaddid of the thirteenth century, Muhammad bin 'Abdil-Wahhab (rahimahullah).
It is called "The Four Rules" because it consists of four fundamental principles that one can use to distinguish a believer from a disbeliever, and a polytheist from a monotheist. Though more concise than some of Imam Muhammad bin 'Abdil-Wahhab's other works, it is just as comprehensive in the information it covers.
In Shaykh Al-Fawzan's Own Words
Shaikh Saalih Al-Fawzaan said: "If you come to learn and understand these rules, it will become easier for you to afterward understand the Tawheed that Allah sent His Messenger with and revealed His books upon, and it will become easier for you to understand the Shirk that Allah warned against and whose danger and harm in this life and the Hereafter He spoke about."
