The revelation of the Qur'an is the instigator of Islamic traditions, but 'tradition' in Islam in its large sense is complex phenomenon. The Prophet Muhammad's statements and actions hold an important place and can be referred to simply as the "Tradition" of the Prophet. Qur'anic exegetes and commentators on the Prophet's liand example provide much that became part of the 'tradition' broadly defined. This course will cover these andother related concepts in order to enable students to be conversant in the current discussions about authority in Muslim societies. Not offered 2008-2009 (4 credit)
