What are the most prominent approved books of pure Salafi doctrine, focusing on the books of Moroccan scholars?
Pure Salafi creedal books for Moroccans are few due to the loss of many of them, and because early scholars did not dedicate independent books to creed until after the spread of misguided sects. Innovations were not as widespread in Morocco as they were in the East. Furthermore, Ash'arism dominated the people of Morocco after the journey of Ibn Tumart.
Nevertheless, there are some Salafi creedal books by Moroccan scholars, such as: 1. "Usul al-Sunnah" by Ibn Abi Zaminin. 2. The introduction to the Risalah by Ibn Abi Zayd al-Qayrawani. 3. "Aqidat al-Tawhid al-Kubra fi Aqa'id Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah" by Muhammad al-Makki bin Azzuz al-Tunisi. 4. "Mujmal I'tiqad al-Salaf" by Muhammad Salem bin Abd al-Wadud al-Hashimi al-Shinqiti. 5. "Risalat al-Shirk wa Madhahiruh" by Shaykh Mubarak al-Mili.
To learn creed, the following steps are recommended: 1. Begin with concise books such as: "Al-Aqa'id al-Islamiyah min al-Ayat al-Qur'aniyah wal-Ahadith al-Nabawiyah" by Shaykh Abd al-Hamid Ibn Badis, and the introduction to the Risalah by Ibn Abi Zayd al-Qayrawani. 2. Study Kitab al-Tawhid by Shaykh Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab, then Al-Aqidah al-Wasitiyyah by Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah. 3. Expand by studying Al-Aqidah al-Tahawiyyah and Ma'arij al-Qabul by Shaykh Hafiz ibn Ahmad al-Hakami.
To benefit from the statements of Moroccan scholars on creed, one can refer to books such as: "Masa'il al-Aqidah allati Qararaha al-A'immah al-Malikiyyah," "Juhud al-Malikiyyah fi Taqrir Tawhid al-Ibadah," and "Aqidat al-Imam Ibn Abd al-Barr fi al-Tawhid wal-Iman."
