The beginner in seeking knowledge should first study the fundamentals of faith in light of the Qur’an and Sunnah, or the creed of Ahl al-Sunnah by Al-Uthaymeen. Then, he should read Kitab al-Tawhid by Shaykh al-Islam Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab and Al-Wasitiyyah by Ibn Taymiyyah, along with easy explanations such as those by Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen. In addition, the collection on creed by Dr. Omar Suleiman al-Ashqar can be added. After mastering these, the student can then study major works such as Sharh al-Tahawiyyah by Ibn Abi al-Izz and the books of Ibn Taymiyyah.
