		Abu Hanifah's principal achievements as a teacher was twofold: He was the founder of the systematic study of Islamic law and he was also the founder of a particular school of jurisprudence, one named in his honor- the Hanifite school.
		The major problem that Abu Hanifah faced as a jurist was the growing complexity and confusion of Islamic law in his generation.
		Third, Abu Hanifah permitted the use of natural law, the findings of reasons based on the physical and social sciences; this approach, as ancient as the Greek philosophers Aristotle, allowed material not covered in the Quran or the Hadith to be employed in court.

		Abu Hanifah, on the other hand, contended that if at a time the Muslims were deprived of a Caliph de jure, the functions of their society would continue to be exercised lawfully under a Caliph de facto, though his right to Caliphate may be disputable.
		Abu Hanifah swore in return saying that the flogging of this world was easier for him to endure than the flogging of the hereafter, reiterating that he would never accept it, even though that cost him his life.
		Abu Hanifah was particularly conscious of this right and duty, because the political order of his day had rid the people of this right to such an extent that they actually doubted if it had anything of the nature of a duty about it.

	A History of Muslim Philosophy
		Imam abu Hanifah upheld the view of the Companions and discarded both anthropomorphic and allegorical interpretation of "seeing God." God will be seen by the faithful in paradise, he maintains, with their bodily eyes, but without any idea of place, direction, distance, comparison, or modality and without any description.
		Imam abu Hanifah made, a bold attempt to harmonize the contradictory views of the self‑determinists and the predeterminists by explaining the nature of divine power, will, and decree and enunciating the doctrines of natural religion (din al‑itrah), divine help, and guidance (taufiq), abandoning (khadhlan) and acquisition (kasb).
		Prominent pupils of Imam abu Hanifah and his followers mainly engaged themselves in a close study of the problems of practical life, and generally it was they who occupied the posts of judges and legal advisers during the reign of the `Abbasids and even afterwards.

		Abu Hanifah holds: When khabar al-wahid is cited contradictory to the qiyas (analogy) it will never be accepted, that is why they have never approved of the hadith of al-misrat.
		Al-Nawawi says: Abu Hanifah was keen in taking the knowledge, defending God’s sanctuaries against violation, taking only those traditions he considered to be correct that were reported by trustworthy narrators, beside the acts of the Messenger and Kufah ulama’ he could see.
		Despite all these facts, Abu Hanifah is and will be counted as the greatest Imam, and his followers are spreading all over the world, east and west, with no one being allowed to doubt their faith or suspect their devotion.

		Imam Abu Hanifah (Rahmatullah alaih) is the name familiar to all Muslims of the Sunni sect.

		The facts of Abu Hanifah's life-birth, upbringing and development, way of living, mode of earning a livelihood, etc.- are historical matters to be dealt with as a historian would deal with them.
		Again, appraising Abu Hanifah's juristic formulations and pronouncements in the capacity of a mujtahid is a task to be performed by a mujtahid.
		He, therefore, permitted Abu Hanifah to carry on with his teaching in prison, and it was there that Muhammad b.

	Did Imaam Abu Hanifa (ra) Study from Imaam Ja'far as-Saadiq (ra) ?? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		In fact, Imam Abu Hanifah held his discourses at the very same place in the Masjid of Kufah where Ibn Mas'ud (radhiallaahu anhu) used to teach.
		Imam Abu Hanifah's education took place in Kufah, in the school originally established by Ibn Mas'ud.
		If that alone is to be taken as evidence that Imam Abu Hanifah "studied" under Imam Ja'far as-Sadiq, then we will be bound to conclude that Imam Ja'far as-Sadiq similarly learnt from people other than his father, such as Ibn Shihab az-Zuhri, 'Ata ibn Abi Rabah, 'Urwah ibn Zubayr and Muhammad ibn al-Munkadir.

		Reported from Abu Hanifa, said, "I was born in the year eighty, and Abdullah ibn Anis came to Kufa in the year ninety-four, and I heard from him while I was fourteen years old.
		This, considering the birth date of Abu Hanifa in the year 80 A.H., but if his birth date was in the year 61 A.H., or in the year 70 A.H., as in the reports of Ibn Zawad and Ibn Hayyan, the possibility of his seeing of the Sahaba would be bigger.

		There is near/almost consensus among the scholars that though Imaam Abu Hanifah) Rahmatullah 'alaih reached a very high station in knowledge and fiqh he (r) did not reach the level of being a Muhaddith (a scholar of hadeeth) and Allah -Most High- knows best.

	What the Apostle has given you, take: what he has refused you, ...
		This is part of the completeness of the knowledge and piety of the Imaams, for they indicated by saying this that they were not versed in the whole of the Sunnah, and Imaam Shaafi'i has elucidated this thoroughly (see later).
		Since this is the justification for why Abu Haneefah has sometimes unintentionally contradicted the authentic ahaadeeth - and it is a perfectly acceptable reason, for Allaah does not burden a soul with more than it can bear - it is not permissible to insult him for it, as some ignorant people have done.
		In fact, it is obligatory to respect him, for he is one of the imaams of the Muslims through whom this Deen has been preserved and handed down to us, in all its branches; also, for he is rewarded under any circumstance: whether he is correct or wrong.

		It is quite common these days to hear people criticizing Imam Abu Hanifah (R.A.) because "he doesn't practice on the Hadith of Bukhari that...".

		Thus when the Khabrul Waahid contradicts a ruling of the Qur’aan that is ‘aam or zaahir, Imam Abu Hanifah (R.A.) prefers the ruling of the Qur’aan because it is the stronger daleel (proof).
