Imam Birgivi

Views Imam Birgivi was a Maturidi in creed, and a Hanafi in his jurisprudence and doctrine. However, Birgivi was against the usage of Kalam and found it unnecessary.

Works Birgivi is famous for his eṭ-Ṭarîḳatü' l-Muḥammediyye, a book which explains his views on Sufism, innovations, Islamic sects and Prophetic traditions, through the viewpoints of the Hanafi school and the Maturidi creed. Some of his views in the book were inspired by Ibn Taymiyyah.

In addition to eṭ-Ṭarîḳatü' l-Muḥammediyye, Birgivi also wrote books on language, grammar, and the etiquette when visiting graves.
