This is translation of the superb book ad-Durur al-Mutalaa'ilah bi naqd al-Imaam al-Allaamah Muhammad Naasiruddeen al-Albaanee (al-Firyah) Muwaafaqatihi al-Murjiah. The book challenges those who allege that Imaam al-Albaanee (raheemahullaah) was of the school of thought of the Murji'ah, the heretical sect who believed that eemaan did not increase or decrease, and that actions had no affect upon a person's eemaan. This erroneous claim is totally dismantled in this work which Imaam a-Albaanee (raheemahullaah) granted one of his main students, Shaykh 'Alee bin Hasan al-Halabee al-Atharee (hafidhahullaah) to distribute and introduce. This translation of the introduction highlights the main points of benefit from the book which I purchased in Riyadh a few years ago.
