Arabic: إبراهيم اللقّاني) was a
mufti of
Maliki law, a scholar of
Hadith, a scholar of theology and author of one of the most popular didactic poems on
Ash'ari theology (Jawharat at-Tawhid)[3][1] which became the subject of numerous commentaries and glossaries.[4] One such was by his son 'Abd al-Salam al-Laqani.[2]
Al-Laqani studied under notable
Hanafi, Maliki and
