Are "Jawharat al-Tawhid" by al-Bajuri and "Jawharat al-Tawhid" by al-Laqqani compatible with the Salafi creed?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
"Jawharat al-" by Burhan al-Din al-Laqani is a famous poetic composition on creed according to the Ash'ari school. It has commentaries, such as "Tuhfat al-Murid" by al-Bajuri. The composition and its commentaries follow the Ash'ari creed, which contradicts the creed of the Salaf in the fundamentals of Allah's Names and Attributes, divine decree (), and faith (Iman). A critique of "Jawharat al-Tawhid" can be found in the Master's thesis "The Ash'ari Creed: A Critical Study of the Poem Jawharat al-Tawhid" by Dr. Hassan al-Radi'an. It is recommended to study creed under trustworthy scholars who explain the creed of the Salaf.
