metadata.value: The article examines some aspects of the theoretical legacy of Abū ‘l-Ḥasan al-Māwardī, a medieval Islamic theologian and jurist. This prominent scholar, who lived a long and eventful life,
  wrote a number of works that left a noticeable mark in the political and legal thought of Islam.
  Al-Māwardī also wrote several significant treatises in Islamic theology and Jurisprudence.
  Among them are works devoted to commenting on the Qur’ān — Nukat wa’l-‘uyūn [Tafsīr
  al-Māwardī], ’Amthāl al-Qur’ān, as well as a treatise on Prophethood — ’A‘lām al-Nubuwwa.
  Another important but still insufficiently studied treatise of al-Māwardī on Jurisprudence
  is called Kitāb al-Ḥāwī al-kabīr fī fiqh madhhab al-Imām al-Shāfi‘ī. It is generally accepted
  that al-Māwardī‘s essay called al-’Iqnā‘ made him famous in his lifetime. This legal guide to
  the Shafi‘i law certainly strengthened the professional authority of al-Māwardī as the leading
  Shafi‘i faqih and apparently contributed to the growth of his political influence in medieval
  Baghdad. Despite the merits and recognition of al-Māwardī as an authoritative connoisseur
  of Islam, his creative search was not limited to writing works on religious topics. Al-Māwardī
  ‘s obvious interest in scientific disciplines was, in particular, confirmed in several studies on
  philology. He wrote at least two works on this subject: namely, ’Amthāl wa’l-ḥikam and Kitāb fī
  al-naḥw. However, the scholars who study the heritage of al-Māwardī deal mainly with his socio-political works. Al-Māwardī was known as a gifted and experienced diplomat who repeatedly acted as a mediator in solving complex political problems. As an adviser for many years at
  the Abbasid court, al-Māwardī composed several works on the theory of state and governance,
  such as al-Aḥkām al-Sulṭāniyya, Qawānīn al-wuzarāʾ wa- siyāsat al-mulūk, as well as Tashīl
  al-naẓar wa-ta‘jīl al-ẓafar fī ’akhlāq al-malik wa-siyāsat al-mulk etc. These works, diverse not
  only in content, but also in genre, mainly reflect the essence of political processes of that time.
