Abstract

In the Muslim world, interest in the personality of Abu Hanifa has ancient roots. The life and work of Numan ibn Thabit Abu Hanifa have been comprehensively studied and are still being studied. In independent Uzbekistan, just like in the East and West, an objective study of its life has already been established. This scientific study analyses works written in the manaqib (hagiography) genre about Abu Hanifa. In their works, all the authors of manaqib highlight aspects of the figure of Abu Hanifa, noting in meticulous detail his gradual integration into the field of fiqh. It can be argued that the works of "Manaqib Abi Hanifa" constitute a significant scientific legacy pertaining to the history of spirituality in Central Asia. They encompass a wealth of information about numerous scientists who originated from our country and made substantial contributions to the advancement of Islamic sciences. Additionally, the narratives in these works illustrate the profound respect for Imam Abu Hanifa and Hanafism that was prevalent in Central Asia. This scientific research analyses the work of Abu-l-Muayyad al-Khorazmi, entitled "Manaqib Abi Hanifa", which falls within the genre of biographical writing about Abu Hanifa.
