The reliable books on the doctrine of Names and Attributes are those written according to the methodology of the Salaf, including: "Al-Aqidah Al-Tadmuriyyah" and "Al- Al-Hamawiyyah" by Ibn Taymiyyah, and "Al-Sawa'iq Al-Mursalah" by Ibn Al-Qayyim. Among contemporary books are: "Al-Qawa'id Al-Muthla fi Sifat Allah wa Asma'ih Al-Husna" by Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen, and "Al-Asma' wa Al-Sifat Naqlan wa Aqlan" by Sheikh Al-Shanqeeti. Furthermore, Dr. Muhammad bin Khalifa Al-Tamimi has several valuable books in this domain, including: "Mu'taqad Ahl Al- wal Jama'ah fi Al-Asma' wal Sifat" and "Mawaqif Al-Tawa'if min Tawhid Al-Asma' wal Sifat".
