Foundations of True Sunni Aqidah: Umm al-Barahin
Wednesday, 31 December, 2025
In this episode, Shaykh Asrar Rashid delivers a detailed and methodical lesson on Umm al-Barāhīn (also known as al-ʿAqīdah al-Ṣughrā) by Imam al-Sanūsī, one of the most important classical texts of Sunni theology. The lesson focuses on establishing correct belief through sound reasoning grounded in revelation, following the methodology of Ahl al-Sunnah wa’l-Jamāʿah.The discussion explains the rational foundations of creed, including the necessary, impossible, and possible attributes of Allah ﷻ, and why correct belief must be free from anthropomorphism, spatial direction, or resemblance to creation. Shaykh Asrar clarifies how Imam al-Sanūsī structured this work to protect Muslims from theological deviation while strengthening certainty through disciplined use of the intellect in harmony with Qurʾān and Sunnah.Key principles of Sunni kalām are unpacked with clarity, addressing common misunderstandings surrounding divine attributes, causality, and the limits of human reason. The lesson also highlights why Umm al-Barāhīn has been taught for centuries as a foundational text for students of knowledge seeking a firm grounding in orthodox belief.This episode is essential listening for anyone seeking to understand classical Sunni theology as transmitted by the scholars, rooted in tradition, precision, and intellectual rigor.
