845 Words4 Pages

The Hanbali school of thought was established by Ahmad ibn Hanbal (d.855). He read under different masters, including Imam Shafi'i. He is regarded as more learned in the traditions than in jurisprudence. His status also derives from his collection and exposition of the hadiths. His major contribution to Islamic scholarship is a collection of fifty-thousand traditions . In spite of the importance of Hanbal's work, his school did not enjoy the popularity of the three preceding Sunni schools of law.

It emphasizes taking the Hadith literally to such an extent that they were called As'haab Al Hadith. Ahlul Hadith were known long time before, but As'haab Al Hadith was the result of its evolution. Also like other Sunni Madh'habs, Al Hanbalis do not acknowledge the Imamah of Ahlul Bayt, though Ibn Hanbal was very supportive of Ahlul Bayt. Al Hanbali School of Thought began its ascendancy with the full patronage of Khalifa Al Mutawak'kil around 235H, but it never became famous. Now , looking into the practice in performing prayers, starting with the The Daily Supererogatory Prayers (Rawatib) , Supererogatory prayers are of various kinds, and among them are those which are performed along with the obligatory daily prayers (fara’id). The Hanbalis consider them to be ten rak’ahs; two rak’ahs before and after the noon prayer, two after the sunset and The night prayer, and two rak’ahs before The morning

Similarly, the Ottoman Empire also enforced jizya and also had much religious tolerance. They took over much of Europe and thus the main religions in it were mostly Christianity and Judaism.
