What are different school thoughts in Islam?
There are four schools of thought concerning Sunni Islamic law: Hanbali, Maliki, Hanafi, and Shafi'i. The Hanafi school was the earliest and is based on the recorded thoughts and arguments of the imam, or Islamic religious leader, Abu Hanifa. This school is more centrist in thought, avoiding religious extremes.
