About
the Text
The creed of Imam al-Tahawi, al Bayan al Sunnah wa'l Jama'ah, commonly
known as the Al Aqida al-Tahawiyya is the masterpiece on the Aqida of
Ahl as Sunna wa'l Jama'ah penned by the renowned 3rd Century Theologian,
Muhaddith and jurist, Imam Abu Ja'far Ahmad bin Muhammad al-Azdi al-Tahawi
al-Hanafi.
Tahawi's "Doctrine" (al-`Aqida), though small in size, is a basic text for all times, listing what a Muslim must know and believe and inwardly comprehend. There is consensus among the Companions, the Successors and all the leading Islamic authorities such as the four Imams and their authoritative followers on the doctrines enumerated in this work, which are entirely derived from the undisputed primary sources of Religion, the Holy Qur'an and the confirmed Hadith. Being a text on Islamic doctrine, this work sums up the arguments set forth in those two sources to define sound belief, and likewise, the arguments advanced in refuting the views of sects that have deviated from the Sunna.
About
the Author:
Imam Abu Ja`far Ahmad ibn Muhammad al-Azdi, known as Imam Tahawi after
his birthplace in Egypt, is among the most outstanding authorities of
the Islamic world on hadith and jurisprudence (fiqh). He lived at a time
when both the direct and indirect disciples of the Four Imams of law were
teaching and practicing. This period was the greatest age of Hadith and
fiqh studies, and Imam Tahawi studied with all the living authorities
of the day. Al-Badr al-`Ayni said that when Ahmad died, Tahawi was 12;
when Bukhari died, he was 27; when Muslim died, he was 32; when Ibn Majah
died, he was 44; when Abu Dawud died, he was 46; when Tirmidhi died, he
was fifty; when Nisa'i died, he was 74.
