What are the best and most authentic books on Islamic creed suitable for a group of sisters with an intermediate level?
For a beginner in seeking knowledge, easy abridgments such as "Al-Usul al-Thalathah" (The Three Fundamental Principles), "Kashf al-Shubuhat" (Clarifying Doubts), and "A'lam al- al-Manshurah" (Prominent Figures of the Published Sunnah) are suitable.
An intermediate student can study "Al-Aqeedah al-Wasitiyyah" (The Wasit Creed), "Kitab al-" (The Book of Monotheism), "Al-Irshad li al-I'tiqad" (Guidance to Correct Belief) by Sheikh Al-Fawzan, and "Mukhtasar Ma'arij al-Qubul" (Abridged Ascensions of Acceptance) with a simplified explanation.
Then, the student moves on to studying "Ma'arij al-Qubul," "Sharh al-Tahawiyyah" (Explanation of Al-Tahawi's Creed), "Sharh Lawami' al-Anwar al-Bahiyyah" (Explanation of the Luminous Bright Lights) by Al-Saffarini, "Sharh al-Wasitiyyah" (Explanation of Al-Wasit Creed), "Al-Fatawa al-Hamawiyyah" (The Hamawiyyah Fatwas), "Al-Tadmuriyyah" (The Tadmuriyyah Treatise), and "Sharh Kitab al-Iman" (Explanation of the Book of Faith) by Sheikh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah. The matter may vary depending on the student's level and the availability of a suitable Sheikh.
