The best books on Aqeedah
Reference: qsep.com
A. The most important book in `Aqidah is the Qur'an; it is the most truthful, the greatest and the noblest book. You should adhere to it as much as possible and recite it often. It includes `Aqidah, guidance to goodness and warning against evil. If you read it carefully out of desire to learn and follow its instructions closely, whether in words, deeds or `Aqidah, you will find all goodness in it from the beginning to the end i.e. from Surah Al-Fatihah [Surah (1)] toSurah Al-Nas, 114: 1 Say: "I seek refuge with (Allah) the Lord of mankind, If you contemplate this great book and recite it often, you will comprehend the `Aqidah which Allah (Exalted be He) accept from you and from the Mu'mins (believers).
Then, you should read the books of Hadith, such as the Two Sahih (authentic) Books of Hadith (i.e. Al-Bukhari and Muslim) and others.
After that, you should read the books of scholars known for knowledge, grace and true `Aqidah, such as the books written by the Shaykh of Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, including:
- "Al-`Aqidah Al-Wasitiyyah",
- "Al-`Aqidah Al-Tadmuriyyah",
- "Al-`Aqidah Al-Hamawiyyah",
- "Minhaj Al-Sunnah" and
- "Majmu` Al-Fatawa".
There is also the book written by Shaykh `Abdul-Rahman ibn Hasan entitled:
- "Fat-h Al-Majid" ;
- "Al-Tawhid",
- "Kashf Al-Shubuhat" and
- "Thalathat Al-Usul"
- "Al-Tawhid",
- "Kashf Al-Shubuhat",
- "Thalathat Al-Usul" and
- "Al-`Aqidah Al-Wasitiyyah",
Some people call it Wahabiyyah `Aqidah, and think that it is a new `Aqidah contradictory to the Qur'an and the Sunnah. This is not the case; it is the `Aqidah followed by the Salaf of the Ummah (nation) as previously mentioned but our enemies gave it this name to make people hate it and others imitated them out of ignorance.
However, a knowledge seeker should not be deceived by this; they should know the truth from their books, not through the claims of their enemies and those who are ignorant of their `Aqidah. May Allah grant everyone guidance and success!

A Reply to a similar quesion in another answer:
A. You should study the Book of Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) which contains guidance and light and the Sunnah of his Messenger (peace be upon him). You should also study the books of Tafsir (exegesis of the meanings of the Qur'an) and that of thescience of Hadith with the help of specialized scholars.
It is important that you act upon what you learn. Whoever acts upon what they learn will be granted the knowledge of things that they do not know.
The following books are highly recommended:
- the Two Sahih (authentic) Books of Hadith (i.e., Al-Bukhari and Muslim),
- Bulugh Al-Maram,
- `Umdat Al-Hadith by `Abdul-Ghany ibn `Abdul-Wahid Al-Maqdisy,
- Muntaqa Al-Khbar and Zad Al-Ma`ad by Ibn Al-Qayyim, and
- Al-`Aqeedah Al-Wasittiyah by Shaykh Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (May Allah be merciful with them both), in addition to:
- Al-Tawhid (Book of monotheism),
- Kashf Al-Shobuhat, and
- Fath Al-Majid.
May peace and blessings of Allah be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and Companions!
