Tradition conveys the meanings of connectedness to past and transmission of
knowledge, practice, laws, and many other elements of both an oral and written
nature. “Islamic Tradition” is no different from the general definition of
‘tradition’. Understood in three different meanings, though interlinked, Islamic
Traditionis a big circle which engulfs many traditions grown over some
fourteen centuries inhabited nearly in every corner of the globe. Originating
from the roots of divine transcendent, it spreads like a tree having many
branches ranging from intellectual to mystical and from law to art and culture.
Exhibiting the characteristics of assimilation, flexibility and adaptability,
Islamic tradition has maintained its uniqueness and distinction among the
world’s religious traditions. Despite political fragmentation, theological
differences, and ethnic distinctions, Islamic tradition has maintained its unity of
the Islamic community. This article aims to introduce the various aspects of
Islamic tradition and their development over the time. It is also an effort to
highlight the distinctive features of Islamic Tradition and different
“Traditionalist Schools”.
