Abu Abdallah Ibn Jarada
Abu Abdallah ibn Jarada, full name Abū 'Abdallāh Muḥammad ibn Jarada (1004-1084), was a wealthy merchant and member of the Hanbali community in 11th-century Baghdad. Originally from Ukbara, he was born in 1004 (395 AH) and originally did trading between his hometown and Baghdad, where he later settled. He lived in the Bab al-Maratib quarter on the east side of Baghdad, in a massive residence consisting of 30 buildings and including a garden, a hammam, and two private mosques. His residence hosted various social functions, such as weddings, for members of the Hanbali community. Ibn Jarada was a son-in-law of another wealthy Hanbali merchant, Abu Mansur ibn Yusuf, who wielded influence with the Abbasid caliph al-Qa'im. After Abu Mansur's death in 1067, Ibn Jarada inherited his position as family patriarch (together with Abu'l-Qasim ibn Ridwan) and adopted his title of "Shaykh al-Ajall", or "the most eminent shaykh". Although sources have little to say about the exact nature ...

Hanbali
The Hanbali school ( ar, ٱلْمَذْهَب ٱلْحَنۢبَلِي, al-maḏhab al-ḥanbalī) is one of the four major traditional Sunni schools (''madhahib'') of Islamic jurisprudence. It is named after the Arab scholar Ahmad ibn Hanbal (d. 855), and was institutionalized by his students. The Hanbali madhhab is the smallest of four major Sunni schools, the others being the Hanafi, Maliki and Shafi`i. The Hanbali school derives ''sharia'' primarily from the ''Qur'an'', the ''Hadiths'' (sayings and customs of Muhammad), and the views of Sahabah (Muhammad's companions). In cases where there is no clear answer in sacred texts of Islam, the Hanbali school does not accept ''istihsan'' (jurist discretion) or '''urf'' (customs of a community) as a sound basis to derive Islamic law, a method that Hanafi and Maliki Sunni '' madh'habs'' accept. Hanbali school is the strict traditionalist school of jurisprudence in Sunni Islam. It is found primarily in the countries of Saudi Arabia ...

11th Century In Iraq
11 (eleven) is the natural number following 10 (number), 10 and preceding 12 (number), 12. It is the first repdigit. In English, it is the smallest positive integer whose name has three syllables. Name "Eleven" derives from the Old English ', which is first attested in Bede's late 9th-century ''Ecclesiastical History of the English People''. It has cognates in every Germanic language (for example, German ), whose Proto-Germanic language, Proto-Germanic ancestor has been linguistic reconstruction, reconstructed as , from the prefix (adjectival "1 (number), one") and suffix , of uncertain meaning. It is sometimes compared with the Lithuanian language, Lithuanian ', though ' is used as the suffix for all numbers from 11 to 19 (analogously to "-teen"). The Old English form has closer cognates in Old Frisian, Old Saxon, Saxon, and Old Norse, Norse, whose ancestor has been reconstructed as . This was formerly thought to be derived from Proto-Germanic ("10 (number), ten"); it is now ...

11th-century People From The Abbasid Caliphate
The 11th century is the period from 1001 ( MI) through 1100 ( MC) in accordance with the Julian calendar, and the 1st century of the 2nd millennium. In the history of Europe, this period is considered the early part of the High Middle Ages. There was, after a brief ascendancy, a sudden decline of Byzantine power and a rise of Norman domination over much of Europe, along with the prominent role in Europe of notably influential popes. Christendom experienced a formal schism in this century which had been developing over previous centuries between the Latin West and Byzantine East, causing a split in its two largest denominations to this day: Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy. In Song dynasty China and the classical Islamic world, this century marked the high point for both classical Chinese civilization, science and technology, and classical Islamic science, philosophy, technology and literature. Rival political factions at the Song dynasty court created strife amongst th ...

1084 Deaths
1 (one, unit, unity) is a number representing a single or the only entity. 1 is also a numerical digit and represents a single unit of counting or measurement. For example, a line segment of ''unit length'' is a line segment of length 1. In conventions of sign where zero is considered neither positive nor negative, 1 is the first and smallest positive integer. It is also sometimes considered the first of the infinite sequence of natural numbers, followed by  2, although by other definitions 1 is the second natural number, following  0. The fundamental mathematical property of 1 is to be a multiplicative identity, meaning that any number multiplied by 1 equals the same number. Most if not all properties of 1 can be deduced from this. In advanced mathematics, a multiplicative identity is often denoted 1, even if it is not a number. 1 is by convention not considered a prime number; this was not universally accepted until the mid-20th century. Additionally, 1 is the s ...

Baghdad
Baghdad (; ar, بَغْدَاد , ) is the capital of Iraq and the second-largest city in the Arab world after Cairo. It is located on the Tigris near the ruins of the ancient city of Babylon and the Sassanid Persian capital of Ctesiphon. In 762 CE, Baghdad was chosen as the capital of the Abbasid Caliphate, and became its most notable major development project. Within a short time, the city evolved into a significant cultural, commercial, and intellectual center of the Muslim world. This, in addition to housing several key academic institutions, including the House of Wisdom, as well as a multiethnic and multi-religious environment, garnered it a worldwide reputation as the "Center of Learning". Baghdad was the largest city in the world for much of the Abbasid era during the Islamic Golden Age, peaking at a population of more than a million. The city was largely destroyed at the hands of the Mongol Empire in 1258, resulting in a decline that would linger through many c ...

Abu Mansur Ibn Yusuf
Abu Mansur ibn Yusuf, full name Abū Manṣūr 'Abd al-Malik ibn Muḥammad ibn Yūsuf (1004/5-late 1067), was a wealthy Hanbali merchant in 11th-century Baghdad who was a benefactor and confidant to the Abbasid caliph al-Qa'im. He was also known by the honorific al-Shaykh al-Ajall, or "the most eminent shaykh"; according to Ibn al-Jawzi, he was the only person during his lifetime to have this title. He was a major proponent of traditionalist/Ash'ari Islam against Mu'tazilis and other "innovative" movements. Abu Mansur took Ibn Aqil in as his ward after the Seljuk sack of Baghdad in 1055, during which Ibn Aqil's parents were likely killed and their home destroyed. This decision may have been recommended by Qadi Abu Ya'la, the head of the Hanbali community in Baghdad. After Abu Ya'la died in August 1066, Abu Mansur secured Ibn Aqil to succeed him the professorial chair at the mosque of al-Mansur. This was a controversial choice because of his youth and suspected rationalist sympath ...
