What are the most beneficial books for a group of sisters, whose level is intermediate, to study Islamic creed?
For the 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.
As for the intermediate student, they can study "Al-Aqeedah Al-Wasitiyyah" (The Wasit Creed), "Kitab al-" (The Book of Monotheism), "Kitab al-Irshad li al-I'tiqad" (The Guide to Correct Belief) by Sheikh Al-Fawzan, and an abridged version of "Ma'arij al-Qabul" (The Ascents of Acceptance), with a simplified explanation.
Then, the student moves on to studying: "Ma'arij al-Qabul," "Sharh al-Tahawiyyah" (Explanation of Al-Tahawi's Creed), "Sharh Lawami' al-Anwar al-Bahiyyah" (Explanation of the Luminous Lights) by Al-Saffarini, "Sharh al-Wasitiyyah," "Al-Tadmuriyyah," "Al- al-Hamawiyyah," and "Sharh Kitab al-Iman" (Explanation of the Book of Faith) by Sheikh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah.
The matter may differ depending on the student's level, and choosing the appropriate book is subject to other factors, such as the availability of a skilled sheikh to teach it.
