[Faith-talk] The_Legacy_of_a_Scholar.

[Mostafa]

Dear all, peace be with you.

Firstly, and before I begin, I would like to unfeignedly wish all  Coptics out there  Mary Christmas.

Christmas is in January the seventh, according to Coptics, and it is a national Holiday in Egypt.

Now, to the core of the subject.

Today I am going to comprehensively discuss the profound legacy of a great Muslim scholar.

He is the cofounder of the concept of Madhabs.

>From its inception, he primarily established the major essence of this intellectual foundation, and he is the founder of the fundamental principles of Islamic Jurisprudence. 

Anybody knows who am I talking about?

Surely you would have to know.

He is the greatest Imam, Imam Abu Hanifa.

Abu Hanifa is essentially the pioneer establisher of the foundation of Madhabs.

This foundation, which vividly reflects on the intellectual authority of Islamic Jurisprudence.

Abu Hanifa has established his Madhab on four major factors.

1; The Noble Koran.

2; The Sunna.

3; The Doctrine of Analogy.

     4; The Recognition  of Consensus.

Now, I would like to thoroughly scrutinize these four major factors.

1; The Noble Koran.

The Noble Koran has constantly been discerned as the initial statute   of legislation in Islam.

Thus, it was expected and unremarkable for Abu Hanifa to critically opt the Noble Koran as the main source of legislation.

 Abu Hanifa expended  the genuine interpretation of the Koran to derive the sentimental verdicts of Islamic legislations. 

  Abu Hanifa is the one who is eligibly   adequate to deduct the commentaries of the Koran. 

    2; The Sunna.

The Sunna is the authentically preserved normative, traditions and practices of prophet Muhammad salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam.

Abu Hanifa relys on the Sunna to informatively deduct the perspicacity of Shariah law.

Abu Hanifa used his accurately scientific methodology  to veritably derive its decisive significance.   

3; The Doctrine of Analogy.

The doctrine of Analogy is the intellectual utility which constitutes the nature of that school of thought.

The Doctrine of Analogy is the unparalleled constituent which construes the substantial distinction of Abu Hanifa and his broadly renowned Madhab.

     Madhab is the generic term which signifys the school of thought within Islamic Jurisprudence.

  4; The Recognition  of Consensus.

The Recognition  of Consensus is the mass Agreement in the judgment or opinion reached by a particular delegation of competent Muslim clerics.

  The Doctrine of Analogy is predominantly distinctive for this prominent scholar.

  He skillfully reutilizes the inferential faculty, to chronologically develop his juristic premises, to successfully derive plain and rational conclusions.

His intelligence of scholarship is just immense, and it is enormously impressive for anyone.

His usage of analogical intellections is extraordinarily significant.

I was really impressed, when a researcher in the law school in Toronto University has developed his Doctoral  thesis on the legal impact which the Madhab of Abu Hanifa has innovatively inducted.  

I would highly recommend you to explore a bit further onto the subject of Abu Hanifa and his great legacy.

I am sure that many Muslims have heard of Abu Hanifa but, they perhaps do not know much about the wonderful contributions he brought to this nation.

I hope this editorial was beneficial and enjoyable, and I always look forward to receiving your fruitful feedback.

Thank you for reading, and have a blessedly pleasant time.

Peace be with you.
