Alahazrat Imam Ahmad Raza Muhaddith Baraylawi wrote the book Tamhid e Īmān ba Āyāt e Qur’ān or The Preamble to Faith
in the Light of the Qur’ān, to explain the basis of faith and priorities we should have
as Muslims and to refute the propaganda that he was careless in takfīr.
He explains fundamental principles of faith, analyzes disparaging statements made by
Deobandis and the implication of such statements. He describes the background and
conditions which led to the ruling and mentions the extreme carefulness and restraint
that he exercised in takfīr, countering accusations that he was ‘quick to label anyone kāfir’.
