MEANINGS OF ISLAMIC SCHOOL OF THOUGHT: According to the Oxford Islamic Studies Online: “A Muslim school of thought, or "madhhab," is a legal tradition within Islam that interprets the Quran and Hadith to guide religious practice and law.” 3. DEFINITION OF ISLAMIC SCHOOL OF THOUGHT: According to the Encyclopaedia Britannica: “A Muslim school of thought is a “legal and doctrinal tradition within Islam,” meaning it’s a system of beliefs and practices followed by Muslims.

SIGNIFICANCE: The Islamic school of thoughts provide a framework for understanding and interpreting Islamic teachings, helping Muslims navigate various aspects of life, including rituals, ethics, and social interactions. 5. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF MUSLIM SCHOOL OF THOUGHTS:
The Muslim school of thought has diverse branches, but two main groups emerged after Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) death and they are Sunni and Shia. • Sunni: Followers of the Sunnah (traditions) of Prophet Muhammad. They believe in choosing the Caliph (leader) through consensus or election. • Shia: They believe leadership should be in the hands of Prophet Muhammad's descendants, specifically through Ali, A.S his cousin and son-in-law. There are various Shia sects with different beliefs about the rightful leaders (Imams). These divisions trace back to early disagreements over leadership, and they continue to shape Islamic theology and practice today. 6. MAJOR FIGURES: Scholars such as Imam Abu Hanifa, Imam Malik, Imam Shafi'i, and Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal played crucial roles in shaping the Muslim school of thoughts. 7. MAJOR SCHOOL OF THOUGHTS: There are primarily four major Sunni Muslim schools of thoughts. • Hanafi School of thought: 1. INTRODUCTION: The Hanafi school of thought is one of the main Sunni traditions in Islam, founded by Imam Abu Hanifa. It is known for its flexible approach to Islamic law, using a combination of the Quran, Hadith (Prophet Muhammad’s sayings), and personal reasoning to guide legal and religious decisions. This flexibility helps it adapt to different situations and cultures. 2. FOUNDER: Imam Abu Hanifa.
3. REGION: Predominant in Turkey, the Balkans, Central Asia, Indian subcontinent and Pakistan. 4.

FEATURES: • Jurisprudence (Fiqh): Hanafi jurisprudence is known for its rational approach and flexibility in interpreting Islamic law (Sharia). It gives importance to reason and analogy in legal reasoning. • Sources of Law: Besides the Quran and Hadith (sayings and actions of Prophet Muhammad), Hanafis consider consensus (ijma) and reasoning (qiyas) as important sources of Islamic law. • Flexibility: Hanafi school is known for its flexibility in adapting to new situations. It allows for the consideration of local customs and traditions. • Prayer Positions: In matters of prayer, Hanafis follow a specific method for hand positioning and allow folding hands during prayer, which differs from other Sunni schools. • Marriage and Divorce: Hanafis have specific rules regarding marriage and divorce, and their approach is often considered more lenient in certain aspects compared to other schools.
