SELECTIONS FROM MUHAMMADAN TRADITIONS

About the Book:- In the system of Islam the Traditions occupy a place second only in importance to the Qur’an itself. They are described as a record of ‘the words of the prophet and his actions and what he permitted.’ Their importance is derived from the muslim belief that Muhammad, in all he said and did, was divinely guided. The Traditions are technically known as wahi ghairu’ l-matlu, unrecited revelation, in contradistinction to the revelation of the Qur’an which is said to have been recited word for word by Gabriel to the Prophet. In Islam the Traditions are used both in the formation of canon law and also in the exegesis of the Quar’an. As every word and act of the Prophet is for the Muslim a divine rule of faith and practice, the influence of the Traditions on the lives of millions, all over the world is difficult to over-estimate. A Tradition is technically divided by Muslim theologians into two parts.

Goldsack joined the Australian Baptist Missionary Society in 1899 where he mastered languages before being placed at mission station Pabna, East Bengal.

Having influenced by George Henry Rouse, head of the Baptist Mission Press at Calcutta, West Bengal, he devoted himself to the Islamic studies and literary work; thus, he wrote many apologetic tracts and pamphlets.
