Description
About The Book
al-Asma wa al-Sifat is Imam al-Bayhaqi's foundational two-volume compendium on the divine Names and Attributes — one of the most important Sunni references on the topic. The work is organised by individual divine Name or Attribute, and for each Bayhaqi gathers the Quranic verses, the canonical hadiths, and the explicit positions of the early imams (Malik, Ahmad, al-Shafii, al-Bukhari, al-Ashari) that establish the correct Sunni understanding. The result is a vast textual reservoir from which subsequent Sunni kalam — Ashari and beyond — has drawn for nearly a thousand years.
About The Author
Imam Abu Bakr Ahmad b. al-Husayn al-Bayhaqi (384-458 AH / 994-1066 CE) was the foremost Shafii hadith master of his age in Khurasan, a student of al-Hakim al-Nisaburi and the foundational figure in the consolidation of Ashari-Shafii kalam with the hadith tradition.

About the author
al-Bayhaqi: Imam Abu Bakr Ahmad ibn al-Husayn al-Bayhaqi rahimahullah (384-458 AH / 994-1066 CE) was the preeminent Shafi'i hadith master of Khurasan in his era, a direct student of al-Hakim al-Nisaburi. Al-Dhahabi praised him as 'Shaykh of Islam' and described him as 'unequalled in his age' (wahid zamanih). He was a central figure in consolidating Ash'ari-Shafi'i theology with the hadith tradition, grounding his theological conclusions in scriptural evidence rather than purely rational argument. His al-Sunan al-Kubra stands as one of the largest hadith compilations in Sunni Islam. His Shu'ab al-Iman is the standard Sunni manual on the branches of faith. His al-Asma' wa al-Sifat is a foundational reference in the Sunni discussion of the divine attributes. His al-I'tiqad wa al-Hidaya ila Sabil al-Rashad is a systematic exposition of Ash'ari creed structured chapter by chapter on Qur'an and authenticated hadith. He also authored important works in Shafi'i jurisprudence.
