This treatise, Sharh Al-­Aqeedat-il-Wasitiyah, describes the beliefs of the genuine followers of the Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama 'ah, that is, the saved and the successful sect (Al-Firqatun­ Naajiyah Al-Mansoorah) to the Day of Judgement.

The belief is this:

To have faith in Allah, His angels, His scriptures, His Messengers, and in being resurrected after death, and in having a good or bad destiny.

And it forms part of the faith in Allah that we believe in those Attributes with which Allah has qualified Himself and with which the Prophet(saw) has Qualified Allah.

Neither should alterations be made nor negations, nor attributing a state of being nor of likeness to creation.
