Abstract
The present article considers the role of the outstanding Islamic jurist Abu Hanifa, that comes as the role of a creator of the legal school and system that influenced the further development of Muslim societies at large. The research also examines the controversies referred to the authorship of the works attributed to him: where, despite the active participation of his students and followers in the development of works comprising his heritage, Abu Hanifa himself remains their main and, that is very important, recognized author in historical tradition. Thus, the paper reveals the connection between the work of Abu Hanifa and his followers in creating the legal foundation of society in particular and performing renewal (as understood in the concept of tajdid), in general. The concluding part of the article describes Abu Hanifa’s role as a mujaddid in historical and societal perspective.
