The fundamental doctrines that make up the Islamic belief have been documented in creedal texts. One that is considered to capture the sound expression of Islamic belief is that written by Islam’s most eminent scholar, Abū Ḥāmid al-Ghazālī (d. 505/1111). Its simplicity has made it an appealing text to teach and learn since it was written. The present work includes the commentary of the 15th century Shādhilī Ṣūfī reformer of Morocco Sīdī Aḥmad Zarrūq (d. 899/1493) entitled Ightinām al-Fawā’id fī Sharḥ Qawaʿid al-ʿAqa’id.
