There are few who will disagree that the duty of Da‘wah, or calling, to Islam has been severely neglected in our times when the need for it is more pronounced than ever. It is either not undertaken altogether, or if it is performed, then it is undertaken without the knowledge of the etiquette, preconditions, and general teachings that the sacred sources of Islam have provided for it. Therefore, the Da‘wah is many times bereft of the results and blessings that could be attained.

So erudite, profound and faithful was the Imam’s understanding of the Holy Qur’an and Sunnah which formed the basis of the Hanafi fiqh, that it remains the most widely adopted Islamic School in the Muslim World.
Just some of the Scholars who testified to the knowledge of Imam Abu Hanifah:
The Hadith Master Imam Yahya Ibn Maeen
“We have never heard better understanding of the Quran and Sunnah than that of Abu Hanifah, and we follow him in most of his opinions.” (Ibn Kathir, Al-Bidayah wal-Nihayah, p.418 vol.13)
Imam Shafi
“Whoever wants deep understanding of the Qur’an and Sunnah, then he is dependent upon Abu Hanifah.” (Tahzib al-Kamal, p.434 vol.29)
Imam Abdullah Ibn al-Mubarak
“The most knowledgeable of human beings in Fiqh (Understanding the Qur’an and Sunnah) is Abu Hanifah. I have never seen anyone like him in Fiqh.” (Imam Ibn Hajr al-Asqalani, Tahdhib al-Tahdhib, p.229 vol.4)
