Sample Text
The Hanafi (Arabic: Hanafi) school is one of the four madhhabs (schools of law) in jurisprudence (Fiqh) within Sunni Islam, the other three schools of thought being Shafi'i, Maliki, and Hanbali. The Hanafi madhhab is named after the Persian scholar Abu Hanifa an-Nu'man ibn Thabit. Among the four established Sunni schools of legal thought in Islam, the Hanafi school is the oldest and by far, the largest. It has a reputation for putting greater emphasis on the role of reason and being more liberal than the other three schools. The Hanafi school also has the most followers among the four major Sunni schools. (The Abbasid Caliphate, Ottoman Empire and the Mughal Empire were Hanafi, so the influence of the Hanafi school is still widespread in their former lands). Today, the Hanafi school is predominant among the Levant, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh, India, China as well as in Mauritius, Turkey, and the Balkan peninsula. It is also followed in large numbers in other parts of Muslim world. The sources from which the law is derived, in order of importance and preference, are: the Qur'an, the authentic narrations of the Prophet (Hadith), Consensus (ijma), and analogical reasoning (qiyas), qiyas only being applied if direct material cannot be foundin the Qur'an or Hadith.
