Abstract
The article is devoted to a scientific biography of a Tatar theologian ‘Ata-Allah al-Atawi al-Qursavi (= Gataullah Kursavi, 1821-1894), who is the successor of Abu-al-Nasr ‘Abd al-Nasir al-Qursawi (1776-1812) and Shihab ad-din al-Marjani (1818-1889) School. This article reveals the degree of Sheikh ‘Abd al-Nasir’s ideas influence on the students of an educational institution founded by him. The study is based on the analysis of ‘Ata-Allah works, where Classical Sunni tradition is intertwined with the ideas of Tatar mujaddids. The conclusions formed demonstrate religious traditions continuity within one madrasah and describe the formation of a special regional branch within Hanafi-Maturidite school during that period. Particular attention in the study is paid to the analysis of the main ‘Ata-Allah work - “Mukhtasar al-maqal”. This book is his commentary on an Ottoman theologian Abu-al-Muntaha’s (d. 1592) interpretation of Imam Abu-Hanifa’s treatise “al-Fiqh al-Akbar” on Islamic doctrine.
