For this reason, correct belief — in learning, teaching, composing, defending, advising, and calling — is among the top priorities of the firm scholars from the past and the present. Sheikh Muhammad ibn Ibrahim Al Sheikh, may Allah have mercy on him, paid great attention to it, dedicating more than forty years to its teaching. Among the texts of creed that he repeatedly explained: "The Three Principles" by Imam Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab, may Allah have mercy on him. His father, may Allah have mercy on him, read it to him six times, and Sheikh Muhammad would explain it while his father would record his full explanation each time. Thus, he repeated writing this explanation six times, writing it in his own words and letters, preserving the trustworthiness of transmission and striving to record the benefits. Due to the importance of this explanation, its being the only copy, the great need for it, and the vast knowledge and high status of its author, I have worked on its verification and publication.
