[This piece was originally written as an informal discussion on the commentaries of al-‘Aqidah al-Tahawiyyah. We have reproduced the piece in an article format with added contributions at the end from scholars and students who commented on it.]
Here are some Arabic resources on al-‘Aqidah at-Tahawiyyah:
1- Sharh al-Ghaznawi
By Abu Hafs Siraj ad-Din Umar ibn Ishaq al-Ghaznawi al-Hindi d.773 AH.
The author restricted himself to what is required by a student, very rarely adding more than this, making it the most beneficial commentary for students. I highly recommend Ghaznawi’s Sharh, which could be taught in full in place of the matn, instead of just being used by the teacher during his mutala’ah. The book was printed ages ago in Qazan, Russia and was extremly rare. I managed to get a copy from Maktabah al-Azhar. This edition was based on the authors draft copy (musawwadah) and is thus shorter than his final copy.
