Sharh Kitab Al-Furqan (ibn Taymiyah) - Shaykh Salih Al Ash Sheikh - شرح كتاب الفرقان - صالح آل الشيخ

This book is a detailed commentary by the contemporary scholar Shaykh Salih Al Ash-Sheikh on one of Ibn Taymiyyah’s most important works — Kitab Al-Furqan Bayna Awliya Al-Rahman wa Awliya Al-Shaytan (The Criterion Between the Allies of the Most Merciful and the Allies of Satan). Ibn Taymiyyah’s original text lays out a clear and comprehensive framework for distinguishing the true allies of Allah from those who merely appear to be, exposing the deceptions of the Shaytan and the misguidance of false claimants to righteousness. Shaykh Salih Al Ash-Sheikh — former Minister of Islamic Affairs of Saudi Arabia and a senior student of Shaykh Ibn Baz — brings this classical text to life with clear explanation, making its profound insights accessible to the modern reader. The commentary unpacks Ibn Taymiyyah’s evidences, clarifies his arguments, and draws out the practical lessons for the Muslim in distinguishing true piety from its counterfeits. An essential addition to any Islamic library, particularly for those studying aqeedah, tazkiyah, and the methodology of Ahl al-Sunnah.
