Mufti Abdur-Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera has been studying the traditional Islamic sciences and writing scholarly works for most of his life. He completed the bulk of his studies at Darul Uloom Bury, North England, where he memorized the Qur'an by age fifteen and thereafter went on to complete a rigorous, six-year Shari'a program. He graduated from this program with authentic certifications (ijaza) in numerous Islamic disciplines, including Arabic, Islamic jurisprudence, and hadith (with particular emphasis on the six authentic books of hadith (Sihah Sitta) and the Muwattas of Imam Malik and Imam Muhammad). His teachers at Darul Uloom Bury included Shaykh Yusuf Motala and other students of Shaykh al-Hadith Mawlana Muhammad Zakariyya Kandhlawi (may Allah have mercy on him.
After graduating, the author traveled to South Africa, where he attended Madrasah Zakariyyah part-time to gain specialized training in answering legal questions (ifta') under Mufti Rada al-Haq. While in South Africa, he also completed a B.A. with honors in Islamic studies at Rand Afrikaans University, Johannesburg, under Professor Abdur-Rahman Doi, Ph.D.
He then traveled to Syria, where he received a second certification in Qur'anic recitation and memorization, this time from Shaykh 'Abd al-Razzaq al-Halabi, who possessed a short, unbroken chain of transmission (sanad) to the Messenger of Allah in this subject. He also received a certification from Shaykh Adib Kallas (may Allah have mercy on him) after reading Mulla 'Ali al-Qari's Sharh al-Fiqh al-Akbar and attending lectures on other classical texts of Islamic creed ('aqida).
He spent the following year in Mazahir Uloom, Saharanpur, India, where he received formal authorization to issue legal rulings (fatawa), which required a close study of part or all of a number of classical jurisprudential texts, including, among others, Ibn Nujaym's Al-Ashbah wa 'l-Naza'ir and 'Allama Haskafi's Al-Durr al-Mukhtar (along with its commentary, Radd al-Muhtar, by 'Allama Ibn 'Abidin al-Shami). During this time, Mufti Abdur-Rahman also attended classes on the principles of hadith (usul al-hadith), studying 'Allama Lakhnawi's Al-Raf' wa 'l-Takmil fi 'l-Jarh wa 'l-Ta'dil and parts of Imam Suyuti's Tadrib al-Rawi.
The author acquired additional certifications in hadith from such great scholars as Shaykh Muhaddith Habib al-Rahman al-A'zami (through his student Shaykh Mufti Zayn al-'Abidin), Shaykh Abu 'l-Hasan 'Ali Nadwi, and Shaykh Muhammad al-'Awwama. May Allah continue to bless those of his teachers who are still alive and have mercy on those who have passed on to the next life.
To date, Mufti Abdur-Rahman has written (1) Fiqh al-Imam: Key Proofs in Hanafi Fiqh (1996), (2) Provisions for the Seekers (2005), a translation and commentary of the Arabic work Zad al-Talibin, a small collection of short hadiths compiled by Mawlana 'Ashiq Ilahi from 'Allama Tabrizi's Mishkat al-Masabih, (3) Prayers for Forgiveness: Seeking Spiritual Enlightenment through Sincere Supplication (2004), a translation of Al-Istighfarat al-Munqidha min al-Nar, a collection of seventy prayers for forgiveness transmitted from Hasan al-Basri, (4) Imam Abu Hanifa's Al-Fiqh al-Akbar Explained (2007), a translation of Al-Fiqh al-Akbar along with Abu 'l-Muntaha al-Maghnisawi's commentary and selections from 'Ali al-Qari's commentary, including Abu Hanifa's Kitab al-Wasiyya, (5) Salat & Salam: In Praise of Allah's Most Beloved (2007), a manual of blessings and peace upon the Prophet Muhammad , (6) co-authored Reflections of Pearls (2005), and edited Imam Ghazali's Beginning of Guidance (Bidayat al-Hidaya) (2010).
He presently serves as imam of a London mosque and continues to work on scholarly publications through White Thread Press (www.whitethredpress.com). Some of his fatawa can be found at www.sunnipath.com and fatawa and lectures at www.zamzamacademy.com.

  • Salam, Evolution of fiqh by Bilal Philips is an excellent book relating to this subject. You can download it online at kalamullah(dot)com

  • Masha Allah

  • Becareful using the word wahabbi in a derogatory way, because Allah is al Wahab

    Which madhab did Abu hanifa follow and malik and shafi and Ahmad Ibn hanbal

    The ignorant will say

    Theire madhab ie Abu hanifa followed hanafi madhab

    Wrong answer

    The followed authentic Hadiths

    The where also known as people of Hadith

    Also known as Wahhabi Because Wahabis are people of Hadith

  • ** Islamic Sciences Quran, Fiqh, hadith, arabic, grammer (arabic), usul fiqh, usul deen, islam law, islamic spirituality, manner, acesticsim etc.

  • CONTINUE>>>

    The same rule aplly to those who wish to study the madhab on a higher level need to study the silamic sciences as well.

  • CONTINUE>>>

    Fiqh is needed, if wish to follow the madhab to the letter then there nothing wrong, if you have a higher understanding then review the proof of the madhab and if you are convinced they are correct alhumdillah follow the madhab.

    If you do not follow an madhab and wish to follow the quran and sunnah without following a madhab you can provided you have done a SERIOUS STUDY on ARABIC, FIQH and USUL then you can have the ability to find a ruling.

  • CONTINUE>>>

    because if the madhab are wrong then why is it even till this day people are following madhab and all the khalaf of the past follow madhab including ibn Taymiyyah and Ibn Abdul-Wahhab (Hanbali) once in the life time.

    but on the other fence brothers who follow madhab how the tendency to be extreme on the madhab, in the sense if they do not follow a madhab they are wrong and labeled wahhabi's which is incorrect and NEEDS TO STOP.

    CONTINUE>>>

  • CONTINUE>>>

    If you do not know who perform whudu or salah then you must follow one of the 4 school of thought.

    but if you are following a madhab then you MUST respect the other madhabs and do not act like your madhab only exist, reject other scholary opinons.

    if you do not follow a madhab or follow the fiqh us sunnah, then you must not condem or accouse any of the madhab as wrong and claim you only follow the truth which is wrong

    CONTINUE>>>

  • Salafi, Deobandi, Barveli are just minhaj (methodology) they are not madhab or aqeedah school.

    Fiqh - Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i and Hanbali are just fiqh of law on how to perform the whudu, how to perform salah, hajj etc.

    Aqeedah - there is one majority based aqeedah which is the imam tahawi aqeedah book aqeedah at tahawiyyah (I Think), also the other three Athari, Maturidi and Ashari Aqeedah.

    CONTINUE>>>

  • @ushafi0 he is a muqallid, he will tell following islam is so hard and mention some stuffs which are a bit difficult to understand and he will try to tell that in islam everything is like that and without following a madhab no one can follow islam.they invite people to their madhab(manhaj) where islam is very simple, just read the quran and read the sahih hadiths, everybody will not understand every hadith for this we have to go to scholars who can give us solution according to hadiths.
