This article examines the idea of wasatiyyah (moderation) in the teachings of Imam Abu Hanifa, highlighting its significance for contemporary Islamic thought and life. It encourages a moderate approach to the religious practices, social relations and political activism highlighting tolerance and moral conduct while avoiding extremes. Based on Qur’ānic and Hadīth sources it confers the role of the Muslim community as ummatan wasatan, promoting harmony and moderation in all aspects of life. The formation of the Hanafi madhhab by Abu Hanifa exemplifies his efficient method, centered on the Qur'ān and Sunnah which allows for ease in legal pronouncements to accommodate changing circumstances. The paper analyzes how his idea of moderation responds to contemporary issues, such as social justice, human rights and governing in Islamic terms. It also demonstrates how wasatiyyah promotes equity, fairness and social harmony, helping to encourage the wider acceptance of Islam across different cultural and religious traditions. By examining the continuing relevance of Abu Hanīfa’s ideas, the book contributes to an understanding of how classical jurisprudence shapes discussions of ethics, law and the good society in Muslim communities today. The results highlight the relevance of wasatiyyah as a legal and ethical directive in contemporary Islamic scholarly discourse and practice.
