This article examines the concept of "Tradition" (Sunnah) within two distinct intellectual currents: "Traditional Islam" and "Traditionalist Islam". The primary objective is to elucidate the divergences between these two streams regarding the definition and application of the term "Tradition". Employing a descriptive-analytical methodology, the study investigates lexicographical and hadith sources, alongside the philosophical perspectives of prominent Traditionalists such as Seyyed Hossein Nasr and René Guénon, contrasting them with the conception of Tradition in Traditional Islam. The findings reveal that in Traditional Islam, "Tradition" denotes pre-modern methodologies grounded in Islamic jurisprudence (Fiqh) and divine law (Sharia). In contrast, Traditionalists regard it as a sacred, trans-religious reality encompassing the Transcendent Unity of Religions and Sophia Perennis (Perennial Wisdom). The results indicate that while Traditional Islam often adopts a passive stance characterized by a disregard for modernity, Traditionalists engage in a critical understanding of modernity, committing themselves to redefining Tradition as a substantive alternative to the modern paradigm.
