Al-Baqillani

Born on 940

Died on 1013

Abu Bakr Muḥammad ibn al-Ṭayyib al-Bāqillānī;

(Arabic: أبو بكر محمد بن الطيب الباقلاني‎; c. 940 – 5 June 1013), often known as al-Bāqillānī for short, or reverentially as Imam al-Bāqillānī by Sunni Muslims, was a famous Sunni Islamic theologian, jurist, and logician who spent much of his life defending and strengthening orthodox Sunni Islam. An accomplished rhetorical stylist and master orator, al-Baqillani was held in high regard by his contemporaries for his expertise in debating even the most complex of theological and jurisprudential issues. Al-Baqillani is often given the honorary epithets Shaykh al-Sunna (“Doctor of the Prophetic Way”), Lisān al-Umma (“Mouthpiece of the Community”), Imād al-Dīn (“Pillar of the Faith”), Nāsir al-Islām (“Guardian of Islam”), and Sayf as-Sunna (“Sword of the Prophetic Way”) in Sunni tradition.
