The Creed of the Four Imams

Shaykh Abū Ḥakīm

An important discussion and an insight into the creed of the four popular Imāms of the 2nd and 3rd century; Abū Hanīfah, Mālik ibn Anas, Muḥammad al-Shafiʿī and Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal.

The speaker touches on several points related to the topic, such as the difference between Fiqh and ʿAqīdah , following Madhaahib (schools of thought), lawful and unlawful Taqlīd (blind-following), the principle of Mālik ibn Anas in affirming the Names and Attributes of Allāh, and the position of Abū Ḥanīfah with regards to the belief that actions are not a part of īmān.
