Muslim Traditions

First published in 1994 titled as "Inside the Community: Understanding Muslims through Their Traditions" (ISBN:0801071321), 240 pgs. Paperback published in 2002 titled as "Understanding Muslim Teachings and Traditions" (ISBN:080106418-x), 240 pgs, with a slightly revised Introduction. The author has read the 9-volume Hadith (a written collection of traditions about what the Prophet Mohammad said or did) as collected by Al-Bukhari. The author quotes selections from Al-Bukhari to illustrate Muslim traditions in the following Topics: Quran; Salvation (sin, faith, good deeds); Muhammad; Miracles; Prayer (theological considerations, prayers forms, ablutions, call to prayer); Fasting (regulations); Pilgrimage (rituals); Almsgiving; Jihad and violence; Punishments for Sin (pride, promiscuity, theft); Judgment Day; Hell (theology); Paradise; The supernatural world; Jesus; Women; Muhammad's wives; Legalism; Food; Medicine; A potpourri of teaching. This was written by a Christian evangelicalist to inform other missionaries as to the historical background as to why Muslims follow certain Islamic customs. Not a "deep" scholarly work, but contains enough citations from Al-Bukhari to support the selected topics -- along with his analysis as to the significance of each selection. Something for those who don't want to flip through all 9 volumes of Al-Bukhari to discover some understanding to the foundations of Islamic customs.
