Atayib al-Zahr Sharh Nawaqid al-Islam al-Ashr (The Choicest Blossoms: An Explanation of the Ten Nullifiers of Islam) is a contemporary theological commentary by Khalid al-Mushayqih on the treatise Nawaqid al-Islam by Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab.
Origin and Composition
The work originated as a series of instructional lessons delivered by al-Mushayqih in 1431 AH (c. 2010 CE) during the Bina' educational course held at al-Zahra Mosque in the governorate of al-Bukayriyyah in the al-Qassim Province of Saudi Arabia. The audio recordings were subsequently transcribed and edited by Muhammad ibn al-Sayyid al-Ghannam, who verified the text against the recordings twice before submitting the transcript to al-Mushayqih, who reviewed and approved it on 26 Muharram 1433 AH (c. December 2011).
Textual Basis and Methodology
The commentary elucidates the ten major nullifiers of Islam identified by Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab, focusing on the preservation of monotheism (tawhid) and warnings against various forms of polytheism (shirk) and apostasy.
In preparing the published version, the base text of Nawaqid al-Islam was collated against two manuscripts and two printed collections:
- A manuscript held at King Saud University, copied by Muhammad ibn Abd al-Rahman al-Shuway'ir in 1322 AH as part of a compilation titled Sittat Mawadi' min al-Sirah.
- A manuscript preserved at the King Faisal Center for Research and Islamic Studies (MS 2938/10/f), dated 1325 AH.
- The printed compilation al-Durar al-Saniyyah fi al-Ajwibah al-Najdiyyah, collected by Abd al-Rahman ibn Muhammad ibn Qasim.
- The printed edition of Majmu' Mu'allafat al-Shaykh Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab, published by Imam Mohammad Ibn Saud Islamic University.
Textual variations between these copies were recorded in the footnotes, Quranic citations were documented with surah names and verse numbers, and hadith narrations were authenticated and referenced, relying upon Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, and the evaluations of hadith scholars such as Muhammad Nasir al-Din al-Albani for other collections.
