'The Legacy of Imam Abu Hanifah' DVD Set NOW AVAILABLE

Imam Abu HanifahThe 2010 Conference exploring the ‘Legacy of Imam Abu Hanifah’ brought together some of the UK’s leading Islamic Scholars before a packed audience, each unravelling the various dimensions of the Great Imam and his illustrious school of thought. Such a memorable event is now presented in this much awaited DVD set, serving as a priceless and enlightening introduction to the man, his life and his works.


There is arguably no scholar in Islamic History who has had a greater impact on the Ummah than Imam Abu Hanifah (80-150ah).

Regarded as the founding father of fiqh, his legacy has been inherited by great scholars throughout the ages, which is testament to his undoubted authority in knowledge and learning. So erudite, profound and faithful was the Imam’s understanding of the Holy Qur’an and Sunnah which formed the basis of the Hanafi fiqh, that it remains the most widely adopted Islamic School in the Muslim World.

Just some of the Scholars who testified to the knowledge of Imam Abu Hanifah:

The Hadith Master Imam Yahya Ibn Maeen

“We have never heard better understanding of the Quran and Sunnah than that of Abu Hanifah, and we follow him in most of his opinions.” (Ibn Kathir, Al-Bidayah wal-Nihayah, p.418 vol.13)

Imam Shafi

“Whoever wants deep understanding of the Qur’an and Sunnah, then he is dependent upon Abu Hanifah.” (Tahzib al-Kamal, p.434 vol.29)

Imam Abdullah Ibn al-Mubarak

“The most knowledgeable of human beings in Fiqh (Understanding the Qur’an and Sunnah) is Abu Hanifah. I have never seen anyone like him in Fiqh.” (Imam Ibn Hajr al-Asqalani, Tahdhib al-Tahdhib, p.229 vol.4)
