Imam al- Hasan al- Basri

Imam Abu Haneefah stated that : “ the study of righteous ones’ biographies is more preferred to us than the study of much more of Fiqh”. Hence, Fiqh is just a branch of knowledge that enables the scholar to debate but the study of  such biographies can illuminate the hearts to carry out good deeds. Imam al- Hasan al- Basri was the greatest scholar of al-Basra, Iraq. He raised up in the house of the prophet (pbuh) and nursed by the mother of the believers, Om Salamah, as well. Even though he did not see the prophet (pbuh) but he lived around some of the most honorable companions of the Messenger . Omar bin Khattab- may Allah be pleased with him- supplicated that: May Allah bestow upon him( Imam al-Hasan al- Basri) the proper understanding of the religion and grant him people’s love. Anas bin malik highly recommended people to address him their religious questions. Abi Ja’far, Mohammad bin Ali bin Al- Hussain said about him : “ this is the one that his words look like the words of the prophets”.

3. He feared none but Allah

Topic - Cooperation from the Islamic Perspective

“ … And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression. And fear Allah ; indeed, Allah is severe in penalty”. 5:2

Cooperation among people and sharing duties are inseparables. Life cannot go on straight without their existence.

• Cooperation for good is an act of righteousness.
• With regard to the matters of religion and Shari’ah, Cooperation is a submissive reply to the order of Allah and a way to multiply the reward of the believer’s worshiping acts.
• Cooperation in regard to the propagation of the Deen.
• Reforming the Ummah needs sincere cooperative efforts.
