Jawharat al-Tawhid (Arabic: جوهرة التوحيد, lit. 'The Gem of Monotheism') is a popular didactic poem on the Ash'ari creed,[1] consisting of one hundred and forty-four (144) rajaz verses, authored by the Egyptian Maliki scholar Ibrahim al-Laqqani (d. 1041/1631). It is widely read, studied, and memorized in many Islamic educational institutions throughout the entire Islamic world, including al-Azhar.[2][3][4][5][6] According to Roman Loimeier, this was the basic text in Zanzibar in the late 19th century for advanced students in theology.[7] It is still on the curriculum of Islamic university education in contemporary Daghestan.[8]

Later Ashʿarī scholars such as al-Bājūrī continued to discuss these fine points of technical terminology and the nature of existence when they commented on al-Laqāni's creedal poem Jawharat al-tawhid.
