The Bayan Approach

Bayan defines the Islamic tradition as the body of knowledge and methodology, both oral and written, initiated by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ with his Companions (al-ṣaḥābah), may God be well pleased with them, and then developed by them, their followers (al-tabiʿīn), and the successive generations of Islamic scholars from that time to the present, as a means for preserving, transmitting, and applying the teachings of God’s final revelation from generation to generation.
