A book in English in which Dr. Saleh As-Saleh said in his introduction, “We hear nowadays a strange call by organized groups involving some Christians, Jews, and “Muslim” intellectuals calling for “wihdatul adyaan.” They claim that these three religions stand for the same belief that there is One God and should unite in their call for the implementation of great moral values. Some of those involved call for the establishment of centers containing churches, synagogues, and massaajid side by side, and printing the Qur’an, the Bible, and the Torah in one binding, etc. In the name of defending Islam against political and media distortions in the West, some organizations are compromising the basics of the Islamic creed through what is called ‘Bridging the Faiths.’”

There is no doubt that lots of Muslims did not read about its meaning due to its being obvious but a Muslim should take much care of knowing any aspect of Islam even if he thinks it clear.

A book in English in which Dr. Saleh As-Saleh shows in his introduction that Allah could not create this universe without a purpose. He is All-Wise, All- Knowledgeable, All-Merciful, and All-Just. All of these attributes entail providing ways of guidance that would lead to the proper knowledge about Him, and thus the right way to worship Him. Allah sent his messengers to direct man to His Creator based on complete submission and obedience. One needs to know what benefits him and what harms him. The message from Allah includes everything. It brings man to live for a noble purpose. All forms of worship are explained in the Quran and the Sunnah. Worship is not left for our limited minds to decide upon their ways.

A book in English in which Dr. Saleh As-Saleh explains seven out of sixty foundations mentioned in the book of Sh. Abder-Rahman As-Se’di, "The Basic Rulings and Principles, and the Beneficial and Eloquent Classifications and Differentiations.” The scholars of Islam gave great importance to the study of the basic principles of fiqh so that they could encompass the various life cases through comprehensive and precise rules.
