  • Tradition in Islam
• The faith and practice of Islam, like Christianity, is hedged
• around with tradition. Like Christianity there is a central core
• upon which later traditional faith and practices are built. In the
• case of Islam this central core is known as the Quran. The words
• of the Quran are God’s words, coming through the mouth of His
• Prophet Mohamed, like music from a gramophone record. In their
• beliefs pious Moslems are all Fundamentalists.
