The Idea of Hanafism in Imam al-Rabbani and the Defense of Abu HanifaKarayígít, IskenderYilmaz, FetullahIslamic LawSufizmHanafismAbu HanifaImam al-RabbaniMaktubatImam al-Rabbani (d. 1034/1624), who came to the forefront in Islamic history mostly with his Sufi identity and was known as the sheikh of the order, although he mostly focused on Sufism, stood against the efforts to distort Islam during his lifetime and struggled in the theological and political fields. In this context, he made efforts to ensure the failure of Akbar Shah's (d. 1014/1605) project of Din-i Ilahi. In addition to his important works in the fields of sufism and theology, Imam al-Rabbani was also interested in many issues of Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) and its history. As a person who inherited the legacy of his predecessors, he felt the need to speak on many issues related to fiqh. One of these is the criticism made about Ab & umacr; Hanifa (d. 150/767) and his school of thought. Imam al-Rabbani, especially in his work Makt & umacr;bat, was involved in the debates around the concepts of ahl al-ra'y and ahl al-hadith, and naturally tried to defend the Hanafi sect to which he belonged and its imam Ab & umacr; Hanifa with a number of evidences from different perspectives. He objected to the characterization of the Hanafi imams as mere ra'yists (lit. opinionists), stating that they accepted hadiths but also had their own methods of deriving rulings. Again, he was not contented with only some 'scientific' evidences in his discussion of Hanafism, but he also strengthened his defense with spiritual, allegorical, and mystical arguments, such as the similarity between Jesus Christ and Ab & umacr; Hanifa in ijtihad, the fact that Jesus would act in accordance with the Hanafi school of thought after his descent, and the fact that Hanafi sect possesses the perfection of prophethood. By responding to the claims of the opponents in this way, Imam al-Rabbani tried to justify the Hanafi school of thought. In this article, some of the spiritual-ischemic qualities that Imam al-Rabbani attributed to Hanaf is and his responses and defenses to the allegations put forward by some ahl al-hadith scholars will be discussed.ATATURK UNIV2025-04Articlehttps://rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/r/gumushane/16062https://doi.org/10.29288/ilted.15585432458-7508trILAHIYAT TETKIKLERI DERGISI-JOURNAL OF ILAHIYAT RESEARCHESinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://gumushane-rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/tr/items/gumushane/16062
