On Tuesday, May 20, 2025, the Ibn Rushd College of Education for Humanities at the University of Baghdad discussed the doctoral dissertation entitled “The School of Ahl al-Hadith in the Islamic Maghreb and Far East and its Impact on Public Life from the 5th Century AH\/11th Century AD to the 9th Century AH\/15th Century AD” by researcher Shaima Karim Khalaf, specializing in Islamic history, from the Department of History. The discussion committee was chaired by Professor Dr. Suad Hadi Hassan, and included the membership and supervision of Professor Dr. Mushtaq Kazim Akoul. It also included a select group of professors from the Ibn Rushd College of Education, along with Assistant Professor Dr. Haider Salem Muhammad as an external member from the University of Iraq – College of Arts.<\/p>\n
The study primarily aimed to examine and reflect on the historical outcomes of the Ahl al-Hadith school in the central and far Islamic Maghreb over the five specified historical centuries. Hence, the importance of this topic emerged in providing a clearer vision of the Ahl al-Hadith school in the central and far Islamic Maghreb, and in determining its impact on public life.<\/p>\n
The study reached a number of conclusions, the most prominent of which was that the Ahl al-Hadith school in the central and far Islamic Maghreb held a prestigious position among the political authorities who ruled the two Maghreb countries. Furthermore, they had an impact on the sciences of narration and knowledge, as well as on public life, particularly in mosques, schools, the judiciary, fatwas, literary life (poetry), and peaceful coexistence with the People of the Covenant, as evidenced by its hadith scholars in the central and far Islamic Maghreb during this period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
