Reflections of a Traveler

Bismillah,

Al Hamdullah, I picked up a book from the library entitled :A commentary on the Creed of Islam by Sa’d al Din Al Taftazani on the Creed of Najm Al Din Al Nasafi translated with Introduction and notes by Earl Edgar Elder.  For those that don’t know, The actual Aqidah text was written by Najm Al Din Al Nasafi, a Maturidi and the commentary was done by Said Al Din Al Taftazani an Ashari.  The Ashari and Maturidi Schools of Aqidah have represented the tenets of belief of the Sunni Muslims for over millennium, that’s a 1,000 years folks.  And the beautiful thing about this book is you actually get to see both of the schools and where they differed.  I’ve only read the introduction and part of the beginning but so far it’s awesome.  To bad they don’t sell this book.  So I am going to have to photocopy it.
