Wusool al-Ilham to the Foundations of Islam

Wusool al-Ilham ila Usool al-Islam (The Attainment of Inspiration to the Fundamentals of Islam) is a remarkable and unique scholarly work authored by the prominent Hadith specialist, Al-Sheikh Al-Muhaddith Badiuddin Shah Al-Rashidi (الشيخ المحدث بديع الدين شاه الراشدي), with research and verification (Tahqeeq) by Prof. Dr. Abdul Rahman Ahmad Al-Awaji (أ.د. عبد الرحمن أحمد العواجي).

This book outlines the fundamental principles and core tenets of Islam. What makes this work exceptionally rare and a masterpiece of Arabic linguistics is that it is written entirely as a dotless text (Nuskha Ghair Manqoota)—meaning the author skillfully composed the entire book using only Arabic letters that do not contain diacritical dots. This brilliant literary feat combines deep theological insights into the basics of the Islamic faith with an extraordinary display of classical Arabic eloquence.
