The book that lies in front of you dear reader is a concise expression of sound aqidah from one of its earliest sources. Sharhus Sunnah was penned by the
Noble Imam Ismail Ibn Yahya al-Muzani (d.264H) the student of Imam ash-Shafi’i (d.204H) over a Millenium ago. In this return to the earliest sources
of Islam, the ImŠ—ÈΣm covers all of the foundational issues of faith in Islam including, Allah’s ascendancy over the creation, the Qadr (pre-decree), Iman, the
Qur’an, the Attributes of Allah, the Resurrection, Seeing Allah in the Hereafter, the Companions and much more.

The ancient text has been explained by the former Mufti of the Jizan province in Saudi Arabia, al ‘Allamah Ahmad Ibn Yahya an Najmi (d.1429H). The com-
mentary is included to make this work comprehensible and clear to the average Muslim reader. Additional notes have been added from various printings of
Sharhus Sunnah to provide a comprehensive and historical context to the benefits contained herein. So we hope as Imam al-Muzani hoped that this book
will, “clarify to you from the Sunnah an affair that you may make yourself patient in adherence to it and avert thereby the doubtful sayings and the deviation
in the newly-invented affairs of the misguided ones.”
