The creed of Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah its concept, its characteristics

Praise be to Allah alone, and prayers and peace be upon the one after whom there is no prophet, our Prophet Muhammad, and his family and companions. To proceed: I have reviewed what our noble brother, the virtuous Sheikh Muhammad bin Ibrahim Al-Hamd, wrote in clarifying the creed of Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah, and what Allah has granted them of beneficial knowledge, righteous deeds, good manners, and noble morals. He titled it: "The Creed of Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah: Its Concept, Characteristics, and the Characteristics of Its People." I found it to be a valuable and beneficial book, clear in explaining the creed of Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah and their morals; may Allah reward him well, multiply his reward, and increase us and him in beneficial knowledge and righteous deeds. I advise everyone who reads it to read and benefit from it, due to its great benefit and its explanation of the states of Ahl al-Sunnah. And Allah is the one asked to grant us and all Muslims success in righteous deeds, to rectify the rulers of the Muslims, grant them understanding in religion, and protect everyone from the misguidance of fitan; indeed, He is Hearing Near. And may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and companions.
