Imam Abu Abdullah Ahmad ibn Muhammad Hanbal RA
-------------------------------------------------------
Commonly known as Ibn Hanbal, was the founder of the Hanbali Madhhab. Ibn Hanbal was born in Baghdad in November 780 CE. He belonged to the family of Shayban. Ibn Hanbal studied under various masters, and travelled extensively in order to study Hadith and Fiqh. In his youth, he studied Fiqh under Imam Abu Yusuf, and learnt Hadith from Hisham, Sufyan ibn Aina and others. He was particularly disposed towards the study of Hadith, so he went to Makkah, Yemen, etc. in order to hear Hadith from the Muhaddithin of those places.

After he returned home, he took lessons in Fiqh from Imam ash-Shafi’i. His understanding of religious matters was determined by the traditional views, but under the Caliphs al-Ma’mun, al-Mu’tasim and al-Wasiq, he was put under pressure to subscribe to the Mu’tazilite doctrine of the Quran being a ‘creation’ and not a ‘Wahy’ (Revelation). He refused to subscribe to this teaching, thus he and several other acclaimed theologians were subjected to persecution. Whilst he was being led in chains to the Caliph al-Ma’mun at Tarsus, news came of the Caliph’s death. Under the Caliph’s successor, he patiently submitted to corporal punishment and imprisonment.

Later, the Caliph al-Mutawakkil ordered a return to the orthodox beliefs, and Imam Ibn Hanbal’s torments ceased. Subsequently, he was honoured by the Caliph on several occasions and invited to the Court; a pension was even granted to his family without his knowledge. The fame of his learning, piety and justice caused a host of disciples and admirers to gather around him. In fact, he was more a Muhaddith than a jurist, but it is his fame as a jurist which has endured. Imam Ibn Hanbal died in Baghdad on 13 July 855 CE. It is said that eight hundred thousand men and sixty thousand women attended his funeral. He was buried in the Martyrs cemetery in the Harbiyah quarter of Baghdad.

Imam Ibn Hanbal was the last of the Four Imams of the Sunni Schools who, through his study of Fiqh and Hadith, contributed towards the body of legal knowledge in Islam.

BREAD ROLLS

3 cups flour - ¾ tsp salt - 10g instant yeast - 2 Tbsp thick ghee - 1 egg - 1 cup milk - ¼ cup sugar.

Method
Sift flour and yeast into a bowl. Heat the milk and allow it to cool down until lukewarm before you heat in the sugar, ghee and egg. Make a soft bread dough, knead well and allow the dough to rise double in volume. Punch and knead and divide dough into 2. Make 8 balls out of each lump of dough.

Grease 2 round cake pans. Place one ball in centre of each pan and arrange the other 7 around it in a circle. Let rise again and brush dough with egg yolk and sprinkle with sesame and poppy seeds.

Bake at 180° for 10 – 15 minutes.

Once the dough has risen, spread out a ball of dough on the palm of your hand, place a good prepared chicken or meat filling in the middle and then close over with extended dough.

Q. Is it ok to delay Witr Salaah until Tahajjud time?

A. If one is sure of waking up for Tahajjud then it is actually better to delay the Witr Salaah and perform it after completing Tahajjud but before Subuh Sadiq. If one does not have this assurance then better to perform it before sleeping.

LET YOUR FEARS ENTER

It is best to open your doors and permit your fears to enter so that they can be destroyed, otherwise, they will always remain outside placing you under siege.
