THE BOOK

Masaa'il al-Jaahiliyyah is a unique and powerfully insightful work warning against the worst traits of the days of ignorance, authored by one of the most knowledgeable and authoritative scholars of the past few centuries, Shaykh al-Islam Muhammad ibn 'Abdil-Wahhaab at-Tameemee (may Allah have Mercy on him). Shaykh Saalih ibn 'Abdil-'Azeez Aal ash-Shaykh (may Allah preserve him) said, "These are tremendous points which, no doubt, we are in need of in every time, and especially in this time. Reviewing them and reminding the people about them is a necessity.
