Hardback 8 Volumes In 4 Books
Publisher: Dar Al-Hadith

This book is an in-depth academic critique, and a thoroughly investigative refutation, of Shaykh Ibn Taymiyyah’s Minhaj al-Sunnah on the specific question of Abu Bakr’s alleged superiority over Amir al-Muminin ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib. The shaykh has adopted a two-pronged approach in his Minhaj. He presents arguments and proofs to support Abu Bakr’s superiority and discredits all arguments and proofs in favour of ‘Ali’s superiority.

This book was written as a refutation of a book by the Shi’a-Ithna ‘Ashari theologian Al-Hilli called Minhaj al-Karamah.
