The Traditions and Islam
The words and deeds of Mohammed are the ideal pattern to be followed
by all Muslims at all times. Mohammed’s speech and actions are
called the Sunna and are recorded in the Traditions (the
Hadith).
The Traditions are more important in the daily practice and world-view
of a Muslim than the Koran. Without the Traditions there can be
no Islam.
There is no subject so great or small that is not covered. Ethics,
jihad, sex, slavery, art and everyday habits are all given in
great detail.
The Traditions are a tactical manual of Islamic politics and
are a key to understanding Islam.
