A section of that review is as follows: "When this book was offered to the informed scholars, they all endorsed it and praised the author for fulfilling this obligation before God, the Holy Prophet (S) and the Islamic nation, it being the responsibility of all scholars… Thus the members of the Scientific Assembly of Morocco under the guardianship of the head of that Assembly, after being informed of the book, read it and announced their approval of the entire book, expressed their gratitude to the great author, and congratulated him for undertaking this vital task." [^6] Furthermore, in praising this book, sensational and moving verses were composed by great poets, of which we will touch upon only three couplets.

These three couplets are from the poem that Shaikh Muhammad Salem Adood , the former head of the High Judicial Court in Mauritania and a member of the Jurisprudential Assembly of the Islamic World Association[^7] composed in Mecca: Confusing, mistaken and ambiguous Concepts are clarified by him for us Deception, absurdity and falsehood take flight When reasoning pure and evidence delight How Alawi clears those concepts with ease No great scholar has done for centuries [^8] " [^9] Content Of The Book This book has criticized the beliefs of extremist Wahhabis in three main areas and clarified their weaknesses by means of referring to Quranic Verses and authentic Traditions.

First Area Issues related to belief and disbelief. He clarifies: "Many people (the fanatic Salafis), may Allah rectify them, have gone astray in understanding the principle which excommunicates somebody from Islam, to the extent that whoever disagrees with them, that is, almost all the Muslims on earth – except their small minority – are regarded by them as disbelievers!!" He believes that the leader of this faith was not in favour of such extremism.

He refers to the famous Prophetic tradition: Revilement of Muslims is debauchery and their killing is disbelief [^10] , and censures the vilification and prosecution of Muslims; gives sufficient reasons to clarify the borders between belief and disbelief, and, thenceforth, points out their faulty reasoning which has led to their mistaken concepts. It is interesting to note that his tone against the Salafis is, at times harsh and, occasionally, furious at the contemptuous terminology used by them.
