It was odd that no other books were published in the English language that discussed the traditions of Islam, because the everyday life of Muslims throughout the world is governed and directed by these traditions. Contents: evolution of Hadith; Umayyad Period; Abbasid Period; criticism of Hadith by Muslims; selections from Hadith; borrowing from Christian documents and tradition; some aspects of the Prophet Muhammad in tradition; bibliography; glossary of more common technical terms used in the Hadith literature. |
