Thunderbolts sent against the Jahmites and the deniers of God's attributes

Author's name: Imam Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyya

Investigation by: Hussein bin Akasha bin Ramadan

This book is unique in its field; it is among the finest works produced for humanity in explaining the beliefs of the righteous predecessors—the Companions, their Successors, and those who followed them—as found in the Quran and Sunnah. It refutes the opposing beliefs of those who deviate from the truth, using rational and textual arguments, and numerous narrations from the leading scholars of Islam and the Muslims—knowledge that no learned person can afford to be ignorant of. May God have mercy on him, Awad exposed the fallacies of the philosophers and the Jahmites, which they used to reject the texts of the Quran and Sunnah. He elaborated on the invalidity of the claim of metaphor, clarified the intentions of those who advocate it, and explained what they claimed to be metaphorical in the Book of God. He also demonstrated the benefit of trustworthy narrations for knowledge, that authentic hadiths can be used to establish the names and attributes of God, and refuted the doubts of the theologians on this matter in a manner unmatched by any other book.
