About This Book:
The Book "In Defence of The Four Imam" is written in the response to the opponents who shows concerns about the major school of sunni islamic law including Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i, and Hanbali schools. Ibn Taymiyah argues strongly in this work that the four Imams were all brilliant intellectuals who were fully dedicated to obeying the Prophet Muhammad's teachings. He claims that the variations in their legal judgments should not be interpreted as flaws or faults, but rather as an expression of Islam's allowed variety of thought. It provides a balanced and nuanced appraisal of the four Imams, refuting myths about their legacies.
Ibn Taymiyah underlines the following themes in his book:
- The four Imams were respected intellectuals who worked hard to follow the Prophet Muhammad's teachings.
- Disagreements in their beliefs should not be considered as flaws but as a reflection of Islam's allowed variety of ideas.
- Even when conflicts exist, it is important to accept the four Imams' perspectives.
