Imam Abu Hanifah's Major Works: Al-Fiqh al-Akbar, Al-Fiqh al-Absat, Al-Alim wa Al-Mutallim

Imam Abu Hanifah an-Nu'man ibn Thabit (d. 150 AH) is one of the most important figures in Islamic scholarship. As the founder of the Hanafi school of law and a pioneer of systematic doctrine (aqidah), he left behind a comprehensive theological legacy.

This book offers a thorough and source-supported study of the works attributed to him—particularly al-Fiqh al-Akbar, al-Fiqh al-Absat, and al-Alim wa Al-Mutallim—and provides authentic access to his theology.

Readers can expect a clear exposition of central questions of faith: the oneness of Allah, the eternity of His attributes, the understanding of predestination and human responsibility, the position of the prophets, the nature of the Qur'an, and the relationship between belief and action.

An indispensable work for all those seeking to understand the foundations of Sunni doctrine firsthand and in light of the early Islamic scholarly tradition.
