This Playlist is a "remastering" of the 'Explanation Kitāb at-Tawhīd' series done by Abu Talhah Dawood Burbank Rahimahullah. The original lessons took place from 1997 onwards for several years. These lessons were digitalised and uploaded from the original cassette recordings around 10 years ago, however, the sound quality was very poor. Also, those original uploads contained duplicate files etc.. 

We have worked upon each track individually and made them more pleasing sonically. 

May Allah have mercy upon our teacher and noble companion and his wife, and grant them the highest levels of paradise.
