(Added: 16-Aug-2009 Hits:14306)
in the history of Islam, Imam Malik had played an extremely pivotal role in transmitting the knowledge of Hadith and Fiqh to the generations that followed. He was not only a great jurist of Medina and founder of the Maliki school of Islamic Law, his book Al Mu’atta is considered by many to be, after the Quran, the most important book of Islam. In Al-Muatta we find a complete record of the legal and social parameters of the original Muslim community in Medina. AL Mu’atta is first formulation of Islamic Law based on the behavior of the people of Madinah during the time of the great Companions. Al-Muatta is the blueprint for a just and radiant society: the earliest, clearest, cleanest record of early Islam.
