Al-Baqillani
About
Abū Bakr Muḥammad ibn aṭ-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 Imām al-Bāqillānī by adherents to the Ash'ari 'aqidah, was a famous Sunni Islamic theologian, jurist, and logician who spent much of his life defending and strengthening the Ash'ari school of thought within Islam. An accomplished rhetorical stylist and orator, al-Baqillani was held in high regard by his contemporaries for his expertise in debating theological and jurisprudential issues. Al-Baqillani is often given the honorary epithets Shaikh as-Sunnah ("Doctor of the Prophetic Way"), Lisān al-Ummah ("Voice of the Community"), Imād ad-Dīn ("Pillar of the Faith"), Nāsir al-Islām ("Guardian of Islam"), and Saif as-Sunnah ("Sword of the Prophetic Way") by Ash'aris.
