Description
About The Book
Sharh al-Aqida al-Wusta is Imam al-Sanusi's auto-commentary on al-Aqida al-Wusta — the middle-length text of the Sanusiyya series, sitting between al-Aqida al-Sughra (the universal primer) and al-Aqida al-Kubra (the comprehensive treatment). The Wusta expands the systematic treatment of the divine attributes, the questions of prophecy and the contents of the testimony of faith, and engages more deeply with the disputed positions of opposing schools. Suitable for the intermediate student who has mastered the Sughra but is not yet ready for the Kubra.

About the author
Muhammad ibn Yusuf al-Sanusi: Al-Sanusi (832-895 AH, 1428-1490 CE) was a theologian, jurist, and Sufi who lived his whole life in Tlemcen, in what is now western Algeria, and is counted among the most influential Ashʿari authorities of the post-classical Maghrib. Honored by later tradition as a saint and renewer, he was Ashʿari in creed and Maliki in law. His abiding concern was pedagogical, to make sound belief accessible to ordinary Muslims, not only scholars, by grounding each article of faith in clear rational proof rather than mere transmission. He is best known for a graded series of creeds calibrated to different levels of student, from the longer al-ʿAqida al-Kubra and al-Wusta down to the short al-Sughra and the brief al-Sughra al-Sughra. The al-Sughra, famous as Umm al-Barahin (Mother of Proofs), became one of the most taught theological texts in the Muslim world, studied from West Africa to Southeast Asia and still in seminary use today. Al-Sanusi wrote his own commentaries on these creeds, and his works generated a vast tradition of glosses and super-commentaries. The titles gathered here, including the commentaries on the Sughra, the Wusta, the Muqaddimat, and Wasitat al-Suluk, alongside the multi-volume Silsila al-ʿAqdiyya, reflect that enduring teaching legacy in systematic Ashʿari theology and creed.
About the editor
Anas b. Muhammad Adnan al-Sharafawi: Anas b. Muhammad Adnan al-Sharafawi is a contemporary Damascene scholar and muhaqqiq (verifier and editor of classical texts) whose work centers on the disciplines of creed, logic, and Sufism. He teaches within the Ash'ari tradition in theology, giving lessons on 'aqida and logic, among them al-Bayjuri's celebrated gloss on the Jawharat al-Tawhid, and he is active in transmitting these foundational sciences to students. He has prepared more than fifty critical editions, the bulk of them for Dar al-Taqwa in Damascus and several flagship titles for Dar al-Minhaj, the Jeddah and Beirut house known for high-quality editions of Shafi'i and Ash'ari texts. For Dar al-Minhaj he edited al-Qushayri's al-Risala al-Qushayriyya, the most widely circulated classical manual of Sufism, and Imam al-Ghazali's al-Iqtisad fi al-I'tiqad, a key statement of Ash'ari theology. His other verified editions include al-Sanusi's Umm al-Barahin (al-'Aqida al-Sughra), al-Bayhaqi's al-I'tiqad wa al-Hidaya ila Sabil al-Rashad, and Ibn 'Abbad's commentary on the Hikam of Ibn 'Ata' Allah. His editions are appreciated for careful collation of manuscripts and a clear, accessible layout that serves both seminary students and general readers approaching the classical literature of theology and the spiritual path.
