Notions That Must Be Corrected by Shaykh Muhammad b. ʿAlawi al-Maliki al-Hasani | Foreword by Shaykh Hasanayn Muhammad Makhluf | Translated by Suraqah Abdul Aziz
Notions That Must Be Corrected is a significant work addressing key contemporary theological misunderstandings and promoting a balanced approach within the framework of Ahl al-Sunna wal-Jamaʿa. Written by Shaykh Muhammad b. ʿAlawi al-Maliki al-Hasani, the book emphasizes moderation, scholarly rigor, and adherence to the Qur’an, the Sunnah, and the understanding of the early generations of Islam.
The work is structured into three main sections. The first focuses on core issues of Islamic creed, including principles related to declaring others outside the fold of Islam, the concept of intermediation, and the correct understanding of intercession. The second section explores matters related to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, such as his unique qualities, the nature of Prophethood, human reality, and the permissibility of seeking blessings through the Prophet ﷺ and his آثار (traces and relics). The final section addresses additional theological and devotional topics, including the life of the barzakh, visiting the Prophet ﷺ, sacred sites, relics, and religious celebrations.
Throughout the book, the author presents a carefully reasoned defense of traditional Sunni positions while responding to modern controversies in Islamic thought. The work has been widely discussed, taught, and referenced by scholars across the Muslim world and has played a notable role in contemporary theological discourse.
