Description from the publisher:

The book that lies in front of you - dear reader - is a concise expression of sound ’aqeedah from one of its earliest sources. Sharhus-Sunnah was penned by the Noble Imaam Ismaaeel Ibn Yahyaa al-Muzanee (d.264H) - the student of Imam ash-Shaafi'ee (d.204H) - over a millennium ago. In this return to the earliest sources of Islam, the Imam covers all of the foundational issues of faith in Islam including, Allah’s ascendancy over the creation, the Qadr (pre-decree), Eemaan, the Qur‘aan, the Attributes of Allah, the Resurrection, Seeing Allaah in the Hereafter, the Companions and much more. The ancient text has been explained by the former Muftee of the Jeezaaan province in Saudi Arabia, al-’Allaamah Ahmad Ibn Yahyaa an-Najmee (d.1429H). The commentary is included to make this work comprehensible and clear to the average Muslim reader. Additional notes have been added from various printings of Sharhus-Sunnah to provide a comprehensive and historical context to the benefits contained herein. So we hope - as Imam al-Muzanee hoped - that this book will, “clarify to you from the Sunnah an affair that you may make yourself patient in adherence to it and avert thereby the doubtful sayings and the deviation in the newly-invented affairs of the misguided ones.”
