Rightly Guided Imams

Rightly Guided Imams:

This book traces the life of the imams of Islam. The two greatest traditionists of all time: Al Bukhari and Muslim, as well as the founders of the four schools of Muslim law: Malik Ibn Anas, Abu Hanifa, Ash Shafi'i and Ahmad ibn Hanbal. It talks about the life they led, the enormous efforts they made to study Islamic sciences, and the sacrifices they made to preserve and defend the religion of God.

These imams left to the Community precious sciences, in jurisprudence (fiqh) and hadith, thus allowing it to know what is authorized and what is not based on the Koran and the Sunna of the Prophet ( SWS). The influence of these imams is such today that most Muslim countries follow their jurisprudence. Their scientific heritage is taught in universities, and they enjoy unparalleled respect.
