An Enlightened Islam
On Alhurra's digital platforms, writer and journalist Ibrahim Essa discusses the persecution of thinkers and reformers in religion.
He recalls the ordeal of Imam Abu Hanifa al-Nu‘man, a symbol of religious enlightenment in the face of rigidity and fanaticism.
Abu Hanifa’s use of independent reasoning made him a target of defamation and hostility from his rivals.
Despite being the founder of one of the largest schools of jurisprudence in the Muslim world, Abu Hanifa faced opposition due to his towering status in Islamic jurisprudence.
