Islam, its main currents and trends Cloud

Hanafi sect. Hanafia is the most widespread sect in Islam. Its founder, Abu Hanifa, lived in 669-767. Imam Abu Hanifa is known to have performed Hajj 55 times throughout his life. He has the opportunity to apply his knowledge as a scientist in practical ways in his daily life in commercial work, enriches the laws and regulations by using "comparison" and "istihson". His school is called "Ahl-ur-ra'y" due to reliance on "ra'y" (opinion) in the formation of qiyas. Those who rely on hadiths are called "Ahl ul-Hadith". However, the school of Abu Hanifa knew and recognized the tradition well. He said: "Our best knowledge in this regard is opinion. "These are the best things we have achieved." In general, Abu Hanifa's legal theory respected individual freedom and thus differed from other jurists.
Hanafi is still the official sect in the former lands of the Ottoman Empire, including Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Jordan, and Palestine, in terms of issuing fatwas and personal issues. It is also a dominant sect in the Balkans, the Caucasus, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Central Asia, and China. This sect has spread to almost half of the Muslim world.
Malikiya Sect. This sect flourished in the Arabian Peninsula and was originally called the Hijaz or Madinah sect. Its founder, Malik ibn Anas Asbahi, was born in Medina in 713 to a family of bow and arrow makers, and lived there until his death in 795, leaving it only to go on a pilgrimage to Mecca. Because of this, he became a symbol of the people of Medina. Recognized as the Imam of Medina. Malik did not get involved in any political movement and did not agree to occupy any official position. He did not take part in debates and scientific debates, because he believed that "science is not a war between roosters and rams." The views , rulings and peoples of the Prophet , his companions and followers on fiqh are summarized in his book "Al-Muwatta".
According to the Maliki sect, the Qur'an and Hadith are recognized as the foundations of law. Only the hadiths of the Prophets are considered authentic by them. Qur'an and Hadith constitute one source - "nass". Added to this is the collective experience of the Madina team. There are no written sources about them, but they are preserved in the memory in the form of heritage and custom from the time of the Prophet. Such collective memory is regarded as a collective hadith. Only after that, the experience of non-Madina companions and followers was referred to. If there is no solution to this issue, it is possible to appeal to "almasalih al-mursala", that is, an independent opinion on the path of interest. But this opinion is aimed at the benefit of the community, it should not contradict the creeds of the scriptures, and it should be in accordance with the provisions of the Sharia.
