Al-Tawhid (book): Difference between revisions

Considering the background discussions about divine essence and attributes, and taking into account the narrative and theological Shi'a heritage and observing the effects of Sunni Hadith movement, Al-Shaykh al-Saduq started to compile al-Tawhid to deny the accusations of the belief in divine corporeality and predestination and to set forth foundations of Shi'a belief based on Qur'an's verses and narrations.

About the historical position and the significance of this book, in addition to what has already been said, one must take into account the status of the author, as one of the three great jurists and Muhaddith of Shi'a Imamiyya who compiled the Four books of Shi'a Hadith collections.

Al-Tawhid has been at the center of Shi'a scholars' attention and deemed as one of the most authentic Hadith sources whose content would be cited. For example, in volumes dedicated to al-Tawhid and Divine Justice from [[Bihar al-anwar]], 'allama [[al-Majlisi]] in numerous occasions has used the narrations of this book from its old manuscripts which were at his disposal.
