Islamic Trilogy: The Political Traditions of Mohammed (Paperback)

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. Islam is a political system, a culture and a religion based upon the Koran, Sira (life of Mohammed) and Hadith (the Traditions). The Islamic Trilogy series integrates the three primary sources to give the entire Islamic political doctrine¿the treatment of non-Muslims. The Trilogy is authoritative and fact-based. All statements can be confirmed by the use of reference numbers. The knowledge is integrated¿all of the primary sources are used to give the complete picture of Islam¿s political doctrine.
