THE CREED OF THE FOUR IMAMS

The Creed of Imam Abu Hanifah (d. AH150)

 Statements of Imam Abu Hanifah Concerning Tawhid

Firstly, his belief concerning the oneness of Allah, an explanation of the legislated manner of tawassul (drawing near to Allah), and a refutation of the innovated forms of tawassul:

Imam Abu Hanifah said, “It is not befitting for anyone to call upon Him, except by Him, and with the supplications He has permitted and ordered. This is understood from His statement:

And the most Beautiful Names belong to Allah, so call upon Him by them, and leave the company of those who deny His Names. They will be requited for what they used to do.” [Surah al-Araf, 7:180].

Abu Hanifah said, “It is detested for the supplicator to say, ‘I ask You by the right of so-and-so,’ or, ‘By the right of Your prophets and messengers, or ‘by the right of the Sacred House and the Sacred Sanctuary.”‘

And Abū Hanifah said, “It is not befitting for anyone to call upon Allāh, except by Him, and I detest that one says: ‘By the junctures of Honour from your Throne” or By the Right of Your creation.'”.

Secondly is his position on the affirmation of the Attributes (of Allāh) and arefutation of the Jahmiyyah:4. And he said: Allāh is not to be described with the attributes of the creation. His Anger and His Pleasure are two Attributes from His Attributes, without inquiry into their specific details, and this is the statement of Ahl al-Sunnah wa-al-Jama’ah. He becomes angry, and He becomes pleased; and it is not to be said: His Anger is His Punishment, and His Pleasure is His Reward.

We describe Him as He has described Himself: One, Eternal, He does not beget, nor is He begotten, and there is none equal to Him, the Ever-Living All-Capable, All Hearing, Ever-Watchful, All-Knowing. The Hand of Allah is above their hands. It is not like the hands of His creation, and His Face is not like the faces of His creation
