Understanding Muslim Teaching & Traditions

Phil Parshall
Author Phil Parshall, who served as a missionary in Muslim nations for 40 years, writes: “Is there something inherent in Islamic Scriptures that breeds fanaticism?... What governs the actions of Muslims? Do historical, cultural, and religious dynamics combine to produce unique behavior? For many years I had missed one of the key components to the attitudes and actions of Muslims. The Traditions (Hadith) of Islam were essentially unknown to me.... I was surprised to learn that only a minority of Muslims have ever directly encountered a book of Hadith.” In this unique book, Phil Parshall reveals the Hadith’s teachings on such issues as salvation, prayer, jihad and violence, women, and Jesus. These Muslim commentaries (Hadith) form the backbone of the flammable side of Islam, as much or more than the Koran.
