Madhab of Rasulullah Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) - Dr. Bilal Philips

4. Surah An-Nisa' Ayah number 59.

O ye who believe! Obey Allah, and obey the messenger and those of you who are in authority; and if ye have a dispute concerning any matter, refer it to Allah and the messenger if ye are (in truth) believers in Allah and the Last Day. That is better and more seemly in the end.

Eloquent, articulate and outspoken are some of the words that describe Dr. Abu Ameenah Bilal Philips. His quest to search for the truth led him from his birth island of Jamaica to the streets of Toronto where he grew up and accepted Islam in 1972. This journey has led him down many paths and he is known the world over as an Islamic scholar, Lecturer, Author and Thinker. Dr. Abu Ameenah completed his B.A. from the College of Islamic Disciplines (Usool ad-Deen) at the Islamic University of Madeenah in 1979, and thereafter went on to complete his Master's in Aqeedah at the University of Riyadh in 1985 and finally obtained his PhD from the University of Wales, U.K. in Islamic Theology in 1994. He has taught Islamic Education and Arabic in private schools, lectured M.Ed. students in the Islamic Studies department of various universities and has founded Islamic information centers while traveling extensively across the globe imparting Islamic knowledge as dictated by the Islamic tradition. Abu Ameenah enjoys playing squash at least three times a week with his wife and sons as a means of keeping fit and de-stressing and he also supervises his children in martial arts. It is interesting to note that in his earlier days, he acquired a black belt in Karate. His greatest achievement is the founding of Islamic Online University that has over 3000 students and authoring over 100 Islamic books of which, the fundamentals of Tawheed is his favourite. He currently resides in Doha, Qatar with his family where continues to teach at the Islamic Studies Academy.

Imam Muslim(Shaafi) RA, Imam Abu Dawood(Hanbali), Imam Nawawi RA (Shaafi), Waqiah ibn jamah (Hanafi), Abdullah ibn Mubarak (Master of Ahadeeth - Hanafi). So umm I confused were these excellent scholars RA not following the way od Rasool SAW?

@precog1986

Imam Muslim, Abu Dawood, Nawawi and the other great people were not muqallids and they didnt follow a scholar blindly. It should be noted that most of them were Mujtahids and Mujtahids are not muqallids, secondly it should be noted that we shouldnt insert the terms "shafee" "hanbali" etc to their names coz they ddnt do so. Some of them infact did so and they were asked if they were muqallids and they sad "NO", its just that our opinions match their opinions. I hope this info helps

@karamuslim On your 2nd point - there are things that are pretty clear cut in the hadith and there are things such as salah, and other detailed matters right to the bone. We can't start interpreting those by our own understandings - you must be qualified.

@precog1986 , thats exactly my confusion? Can anyone comment on this please :)

@marcelcol69 Lol Malik used the Quran and the hadith and the custom of Madinites, the Hanafis used the Quran and the hadith and logic, example, in Hanafi madhab you don't have to read the surah Al-Fatihah because not all companions knew how to read Al-Fatihah( I mean the muallaf) and the Prophet SAW allows it. So, Imam Abu hanifah used this theory and made a fatwa that Al-Fatihah is not compulsory.
