Learning about the life of Imam al-A'zam increases one's love and devotion to Islam. By reading his works, one’s faith and knowledge of creed are strengthened, and a person who lives a life full of righteous deeds earns eternal reward. It is a duty for religious and knowledgeable people to show love and respect for the saints of Allah. Increasing our love and friendship for Imam Abu Hanifa—who is regarded as one of the foremost among the saints, imams of religion, and mujtahids—by reading about his life is an important task for all of us. The Superiority of Imam Abu Hanifa: Imam al-Shafi'i emphasized the superiority of Imam Abu Hanifa in the field of jurisprudence with these words: "The works and ijtihads of Imam Abu Hanifa, the Imam of the Muslims in jurisprudence, have illuminated cities and people. There is no scholar like him in the East, the West, or Kufa. He shed light on the world by spreading the jurisprudence of Islam and the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah and the Caliphs. Therefore, may Allah curse those who deny the words of Abu Hanifa as many times as the number of grains of sand." A Correct Understanding of Imam al-A'zam: While conveying the distinguished anecdotes of Imam al-A'zam, this book presents his authority in the science of hadith and the Arabic language in a concise manner with strong evidence. Necessary responses have also been provided to the unjust criticisms directed at Imam al-A'zam. The truth is that it is unnecessary even to attempt to defend Imam al-A'zam, for he does not need any defense. An example showing Imam al-A'zam's behavior in accordance with propriety is his answer when asked, "Is Alkame superior, or is Aswad?": "We are not even at a level to mention their names; how could we possibly compare them?" However, writings on this subject have been penned in order to dispel some doubts, eliminate hesitations, and explain the matter to those who do not understand.
