Understanding the Attributes of Allah
Part of the Aqida Series
"I would encourage these aqida courses by Shaykh Abul Hasan Hussain Ahmad. His research and insight is extensive in this field. May Allah spread his benefit."
Mufti Abdur Rahman Ibn Yusuf Mangera
Imam & Author - Masjid e Quba/White Thread Press, London, UK
"Dr Abul Hasan is amongst the few scholars in the UK that I would highly recommend to study the sensitive subject of Aqidah from. A true well researched scholar blessed with humility and deep scholarly insight."
Mufti Umair Zulfiqar
Head Teacher - Ayasofia Primary School, London, UK
"Shaykh Dr. Abul Hasan Hussain Ahmed (hafidhahullah) is a truly amazing scholar who has great insight - especially in areas related to 'aqida and hadith. I have personally benefitted from Shaykh's profound knowledge and in-depth research. I sincerely advise everyone to attend this course and benefit from this true gem of a scholar, who has dedicated his life to the sacred sciences.
'Aqida (Islamic beliefs) is a very important area which every Muslim must study in order to know what he/she must believe, along with those beliefs which should not be held by any Muslim, and I can think of nobody better to study this subject with than a specialist in this field such as the noble Shaykh."
