Translation

The book “The Limit Between Faith and Disbelief” by Sheikh Abd al-Rahman bin Abd al-Khaliq is concerned with explaining the concept of faith and the truth it entails, and reviews in depth the reasons for the collapse of faith through what he calls the nullifiers of faith. Then he defines disbelief and differentiates between the infidel and the true infidel. The author relies on a simplified scientific approach in his successive chapters, relying on legal texts and comparisons between rulings, and concludes by pointing out errors in interpreting the word of God. This work is considered one of the works of the faith that aims to clarify the nuances between faith and disbelief for Muslim readers.
