The Preamble to Faith – Tamhid-e-Iman

The Preamble to Faith – A descriptive translation of the Urdu work Tamhid e Iman

Alahazrat wrote the book Tamhid e Īmān ba Āyāt e Qur’ān or The Preamble to Faith in the Light of the Qur’ān, to explain the basis of faith and priorities we should have as Muslims and to refute the propaganda that he was careless in takfīr.

He explains fundamental principles of faith, analyzes disparaging statements made by Deobandis and the implication of such statements. He describes the background and conditions which led to the ruling and mentions the extreme carefulness and restraint that he exercised in takfīr, countering accusations that he was ‘quick to label anyone kāfir’.
