Original text | جوهرة التوحيد at Arabic Wikisource |
Jawharat al-Tawhid (Arabic: جوهرة التوحيد, lit. 'The Gem of Monotheism') is a popular didactic poem on the Ash'ari creed, consisting of one hundred and forty-four (144) rajaz verses, authored by the Egyptian Maliki scholar Ibrahim al-Laqqani (d. 1041/1631), and it is widely read in many traditional Islamic educational institutions, including al-Azhar.[1][2][3]
Content
Al-Laqqani's Jawharat al-Tawhid is considered his most important and popular work, also demonstrates his strong inclination towards Sufism. In the poem (v. 81), Al-Junayd, the shaykh of the Sufis, is evoked as “Abū al-Qāsim”, a leader of the community on a par with Mālik [b. Anas]. Reminiscent of Sufi theory is the exhortation in v. 87 to ask one's soul, i.e. oneself, to account for one's deeds. Fittingly, the poem has also been read and quoted by Sufis such as the Khalwatiyya shaykh and poet Mustafa ibn Kamal al-Din al-Bakri (d. 1162/1749).[Note 1]
The poem is a creed summarizing the doctrines of the Ash'ari school of theology, a widely accepted rational framework of Sunni Islam that was endorsed in the Maliki school of law, which is dominant among Muslims in Upper Egypt and throughout Northwest Africa.[Note 2]
The text deals with the divine aspects of creed, such as Allah's names and attributes, prophetology, and revealed creed (al-sam'iyyat),[Note 3] which includes faith in the afterlife.[3] The text also adds additional details on the ranks of the companions and imams, and the five universal legal maxims in Islamic jurisprudence, the foundations of moral philosophy with a little bit of Sufism and etiquette.
Commentaries
Many scholars wrote commentaries and glossaries on this work,[2] beginning with the author himself and his own son, 'Abd al-Salam b. Ibrahim al-Laqqani (d. 1078/1667).[1][3]

Notes
- ^ In one of the first verses of al-Murshid al-Mu'in of Ibn 'Ashir (d. 1040/1631), a didactic poem on religious obligations (prayer, alms, fasting, etc.) and on tasawwuf, al-Junayd is mentioned after the name of Mālik, and thus also evoked as an authority on mysticism.
- ^ The Maliki school was represented in the Hijaz and spread to the Arabian Gulf as well as to Upper Egypt and Sudan, Andalusia, and north-west Africa, so that it is now the dominant school in Mauritania, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya.[4]
- ^ The word used here, al-sam'iyyat, refers to all that which can be known only through the Qur'an or Prophetic reports (Hadith) that partake in certainty.
