Free Downloads The Hadith (A Taste Of Islam) (Volume 5)
The Hadith The Koran repeatedly commands every Muslim to follow the perfect example of Mohammed's life. His actions and words are called the Sunna. The Sunna is found in the Traditions of Mohammed called the Hadith. A Muslim is far more governed by the Hadith than the Koran. The Hadith give us fascinating accounts about Mohammed. We know what he looked like, his sense of humor, his superstitions and how he ate. Details about his sex life, family life and leadership are all recorded. If only the Koran existed, there could be no Islam. The Koran does not have enough information to practice Islam, but the Hadith has all that is needed to follow the example of Mohammed as a husband, a father, a leader, a warrior and the perfect husband. The Hadith is an easy place to begin learning about Mohammed and Islamic doctrine.

This short and sweet book is a highly welcome addition to the study of political Islam because,it has brought out the outline of the Hadith in a capsule.People who have no time for books can breeze through this tiny book in one sitting.Importantly it informs and entertains.No,no,the author does not interpose his views,but has made an excellent selection from the body of the Hadith to enthuse the reader.The book would whet the interest for political Islam even in those readers who are not particularly interested in this subject.Hilarious.Just pick it and start reading.
I would give this five starts but much of the Hadith is very boring overall. But the end made me laugh so hard I finished the rest of the book quickly. Muhammad's views of science and demons is over-the-top hilarious! His superstitious mind should beg the question of his claim as a prophet. This Hadith is very educational and recommended to serious readers who want to understand the Trilogy. I have read the Sira and recommend that even more. I am currently reading A Simple Koran and that is freaky beyond all measure for reasons I cannot discuss here. I think every American who is serious about understanding Islam should take Bill Warner's entire course. If, after that, you want to move on further and study other materials then that is fine. But his course on Islam is simply the best place to begin and I'm glad I made the choice to take it and read things in the order I have read them in. Start with Sharia Law for Non-muslims. Then read Muhammad and the Unbelievers (The Sira), then the Hadith. After that read A Simple Koran and follow that up with Factual Persuasion.
Brief. Choices are selective. It is more of an outline than a book to read to understand the concepts and the background.
I've read a bit on 'islam' since the 'west' has been identified as the mortal enemy of that 'warrior' culture. And this is a good concise insight into some of the basics that drive the obsessive nature found in those faithful.
Bill Warner does an excellent job summarizing the Hadith. Along with reference numbers to the complete work. It is also described under headings such as: women. Animals. Art. And so on.
Defined in some way as the 'traditions' of the Islamic religion.....so this is a simplified book which details the two-hundred-odd things that you might want to know. It quotes from the Quran, and lays a number of things out in full detail. If you want to understand Muslims and why things are so screwed up.....this is probably one of the five documents that you might want to read. Takes about a weekend (figure three hours), and it's written clearly. Some might argue that the author doesn't understand the purity of the religion....but the problem lies in the fact that the Quran was written over 1,300 years ago....has a strong leaning toward violence and falls all over itself in continual worries about non-believers. It's like an obsession that just doesn't go away. If you have a desire to grasp the big picture of Islam....this is decent choice for introduction.
This is a series of books by Bill Warmer clarifying the teachings of Islam to non-believers and it is an opener. Before reading the book, I did not understand why Muslims tend to be jihadist, why they believe on certain laws, etc. and the book was able to explain to me where the Muslims got their sources.
As a reader and writer of non-fiction, I can appreciate these concise booklets to convey accurate information for anyone wanting the short version - short - but highly effective. I highly recommend this series, to include "A Two-Hour Koran", "Sharia Law for Non-Muslims, "The Islamic Doctrine for Women, " The Islamic Doctrine of Christian and Jews". I have several translations of the Koran I borrowed for the local library, so nothing is stated that isn't backed up by source citation. If you enjoy freedom - of speech and religion to begin with - you need to begin reading Mr. Warner's series.
