• Beginning with the books of Tawḥīd.
• Question 55: Is clarifying the mistakes found in the books of ḥizbiyyah or misguided groups considered opposing the callers to Allāh?
• The goal when refuting the errors of Ahlul-Bid’ah.
• The reason the Salaf regarded fighting and exposing Ahlul-Bid’ah to be a greater jihād than fighting with the sword.
