Revisiting Islamic Educational Media: The Prophet’s Pedagogical Model and its Relevance for Modern Education
The global reality, characterized by numerous transformations across various fields, including education, appears to be inversely proportional to the quality of educational outputs. Paradoxically, the educational process conducted by the Prophet Muhammad, despite its contextual limitations, successfully established an exemplary educational model, culminating in the emergence of the finest generation in Islamic history. Arising from this observation, this research aims to examine the pedagogical practices of the Prophet Muhammad as a foundational framework for modern Islamic education, with a specific focus on the educational media he employed. The study is guided by two primary research questions: first, how do the pedagogical practices of the Prophet serve as a basis for constructing modern education? Second, what is the relationship between the Prophet’s educational model and modern education in fostering spiritual embodiment and meaning-making? These questions are investigated and analyzed using a descriptive-analytical approach based on library research. The findings indicate that the fundamental framework of the Prophet’s pedagogical practice was underpinned by his exemplarity and a worldview that each individual should be balanced. This framework was operationalized through three integrated forms of learning media: textual (through reading, writing, and memorization), demonstrative, and critical thinking. Each of these forms possesses distinct benefits and objectives, yet they function synergistically, reinforcing one another within a holistic system. Consequently, the Prophetic pedagogical practice does not rely solely on the verbal transmission of concepts. It comprehensively incorporates experiential learning, moral exemplarity, a deep understanding of learners, and an emotional approach that simultaneously engages students’ cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains.

The Digital Religious Narratives: Psychological Analysis of al-Najā’ib (Heavenly Conveyances) Hadith in @alqariomarali Instagram Account
The narrative concerning al-Najā’ib (heavenly conveyances) presented by the Instagram account @alqariomarali has triggered a complex discussion. Beyond the validity as a fundamental aspect of hadith studies, the psychological dimension emerging through the comments of the digital public (the audience) further reveals the significant complexity of hadith discourse within digital spaces. However, the scarcity of sources that elucidate this specific discourse presents a primary challenge in comprehending the intricacies involved. In this context, two questions form the starting point of the study: First, how does the hadith about al-Najā’ib engage with Muslim society within the digital space of Instagram? Second, what are the psychological implications of the al-Najā’ib religious narrative for Muslim society? Employing a descriptive-analytical approach based on library research, this study combines methodological verification from the science of hadith with the theories of Emotional Contagion and Collective Effervescence to analyze the dissemination of religious emotion within online communities. The findings indicate that, although the hadith is classified as dha’īf, its propagation on Instagram forms a kind of “virtual majelis dzikir” that has the potential to foster positive emotions, social cohesion, and serious motivation for worship among the digital populace. Nevertheless, to maintain a dynamic of critical discourse toward religious narratives, strengthening literacy is essential to support religious outreach that is simultaneously empathetic and critically engaged with source validity.

The Liberal-Rejectionist Approach in Hadith Studies: A Literature Review of the Concept and Impact on Societal Intellectual Discourses
The difference between today’s social reality and the historical context in which the hadith emerged necessitates a reinterpretation of several texts that are not always consistent with the dynamics of modern society. This need for adjustment has given rise to a liberal-rejectionist approach that seeks to interpret the hadith in a more historical, rational, and contextual manner, particularly with respect to issues of justice, gender bias, and universal human values. Although more relevant to contemporary society, this approach still raises methodological and epistemological issues related to the authority of the hadith and the limits of reinterpretation. In this context, this study formulates two main foci: first, how the concepts and practices of the liberal-rejectionist approach are understood in hadith studies; and second, the epistemological and social impacts of this approach on the authority of hadith and on the religious practices of Muslims. This study employs a systematic literature review following PRISMA guidelines, covering the stages of searching, selecting, extracting, and analyzing 33 scientific articles published between 2015 and 2025. The analysis employed a qualitative thematic approach to explore the conceptual, methodological, and social impact patterns that emerged in the literature. The results show that the liberal-rejectionist approach arose from the need to respond to several hadiths deemed incompatible with developments in social reality, particularly those concerning gender issues, human rights, and social justice. This approach presents a more historical and contextual reading, thereby bridging the gap between the text and changing realities. This approach is manifested in the reinterpretation, recontextualization, and rejection of certain hadiths, with attention to potential narratorial bias and the socio-historical context. These findings reveal a shift in perspective on the authority of hadith and have sparked debate between progressives and traditionalists over the legitimacy of this approach.

Digital Hadith Reception: The Analysis of Netizen Involvement in the Istimnā' Hadith on the Instagram Account @surgadakwahofc
This study is motivated by the growing phenomenon of religious content dissemination, including hadith, through social media platforms such as Instagram. Although hadiths concerning istimnā’ (masturbation) are frequently cited in online religious discourse, there remains a research gap regarding how digital audiences interpret and respond to such religious texts. Addressing this gap, the present study seeks to answer two main questions: how do netizens receive the hadith on istimnā’ posted on the Instagram account @surgadakwahofc, and what factors influence the diversity of their reception? A qualitative approach was employed using content analysis of netizen comments on posts containing the hadith that prohibits deviant sexual behavior. Stuart Hall’s reception theory served as the analytical framework for identifying audience positions in decoding the religious message, namely, dominant-hegemonic, negotiated, and oppositional readings. The findings reveal that netizen reception is highly diverse and dynamic; some accept the hadith’s meaning textually, others negotiate it according to social context and personal experience, while a few reject it based on rational or modern moral reasoning. This diversity is influenced by social background, level of religious understanding, and individual value orientation. So, the hadith interpretation on social media is a dialogical process involving the interplay between text, context, and audience experience.

Grounding an Integrative Paradigm in Reading and Interpreting Hadith Based on Scientific Approaches
The issue of modernity has exerted a considerable influence on contemporary life, particularly through the persistent epistemological dichotomy that separates religion and science. This binary opposition fundamentally contradicts religious principles that serve as comprehensive guides for human life, especially given the numerous Prophetic traditions (hadith) that explicitly address scientific realities. This article examines integrative methodological approaches bridging hadith studies and scientific inquiry, framed by two primary research questions: First, what constitutes a scientific approach in hadith scholarship? Second, to what extent can scientific methodology be applied in interpreting, comprehending, and deriving meaning from hadith texts? Employing qualitative library research methodology, this study demonstrates the critical importance of an integrative approach in addressing complex contemporary issues that transcend traditional halal-haram juridical frameworks. The findings reveal that scientific approaches to hadith studies make significant contributions to expanding religious discourse beyond its conventional doctrinal-immanent limitations. As this methodology gains broader acceptance, hadith literature is progressively liberated from perceptions of rigid normativity or obsolescence, emerging instead as a dynamic intellectual tradition capable of substantive engagement with modern epistemological developments.

Bridging the Methodological Gap: Emic and Etic Paradigms in Evolving the Living Hadith Studies
The study of living hadith, while demonstrating the advancement of hadith scholarship, nonetheless leaves considerable room for further development. Moreover, researchers' awareness of the reality of hadith as a foundation for rituals still requires methodological strengthening, particularly concerning whether interpretations arise from the reception of practitioners within the tradition (emic) or from the researcher's own analysis (etic). This article aims to explore more deeply the concepts of emic and etic in living hadith studies, as well as their application in this field of research. Concretely, two fundamental questions form the basis of this study: First, how are emic and etic constructed in living hadith research? Second, what are the patterns of distribution of emic and etic within the dynamics of living hadith studies? These questions are examined using a systematic literature review approach, with data sourced from Google Scholar using the keywords "living hadis," "living sunnah," and "living hadith." The study data were limited to journals accredited by Sinta or Scopus and published between 2021 and 2025. Through data exclusion, 37 relevant articles were identified. The findings reveal four patterns of engaging with hadith: emic (16 articles), etic (16 articles), emic-etic (4 articles), and traditions not based on hadith (one article). Furthermore, within the five-stage research framework proposed by Saifuddin Zuhri, an etic approach is applied in the analysis of practice, an emic approach in the examination of reception and text, and an etic approach in the study of transmission and transformation.

The Problematic Use of Ḍa’īf Al-Ḥadīth: A Study of Ibn Ḥajar al-Asqalānī’s Thoughts and Practices in Bulūgh al-Marām
Problems arising within society are often rooted in the uncritical acceptance and application of dha’if (weak) traditions, particularly in matters of worship. Interestingly, Ibn Ḥajar al-’Asqalānī, a renowned hadith scholar, extensively quotes various hadiths, including dha’if ones, in his seminal work Bulūgh al-Marām, a book focused on Islamic legal rulings that ideally should be based on authentic, hadith ṣaḥiḥ or ḥasan. This study examines Ibn Ḥajar’s perspective on utilizing hadith dha’if, guided by two central research questions. First, what are Ibn Hajar’s view and considerations in incorporating dha’if hadiths into Bulūgh al-Marām? Second, what is the position and validity of dha’if traditions within the broader discourse of Islamic jurisprudence? The study employs a descriptive-analytical method grounded in a literature review to address these questions. The findings reveal that Ibn Ḥajar permits the use of hadiths dha’if under specific conditions; the weakness must not be severe, the narration should align with established principles or stronger evidence, and it must not be definitively attributed to the Prophet. In Bulūgh al-Marām, hadith dha’if are not presented as primary legal sources but rather as supportive material to strengthen or clarify authentic reports. Moreover, the presence of hadith dha’if in his work shows a concrete effort to provide examples of the position and permissibility of using da'if traditions. Thus, people can be wiser in responding to any information, both general and prophetic traditions in the midst of religious life.

Echoing Ecological Ideas as an Option in Teaching Islamic Education in Indonesia
Ecological problems today are becoming increasingly complex and require serious attention. In this situation, Islamic mass organizations (Ormas), which are generally seen as religious institutions with roles in protecting and caring for the environment, have ironically become involved in the exploitation of natural resources. This became more apparent after the Indonesian government approved a draft law that allows major Islamic organizations such as Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and Muhammadiyah to manage mining operations. Based on this issue, this study aims to explain how ecological values can be integrated into the learning system of Islamic religious education institutions in Indonesia. The study focuses on two main questions; first, how can ecological concepts be introduced through progressive Islamic thinking?; and second, how can these concepts be applied in Islamic educational settings? Using a library research method, this study analyzes a variety of related literature. The results show that ideas such as ecoreligiosity, ecotheology, ecosufism, Islamic ecocentrism, eco-pesantren, and Islamic environmental law can serve as useful frameworks for teaching in Islamic schools. These concepts help strengthen the idea that humans live and coexist with nature, so mutual respect between people and the environment should be nurtured through learning processes based on ecological values.

The Role of Hadith in Learner Character Building: An Analysis of The Tradition of Muslim Family Education
Character development in education cannot be separated from the role of the family as the first and main environment in the process of internalizing good values. In the tradition of Islamic education, especially related to the Muslim family, the Ḥadīth becomes one of the main sources of shaping the moral and spiritual values of students. This study examines in depth the role of Ḥadīth in the formation of children’s character through the tradition of Muslim family education. Two questions become the starting point of the study: first, how is Ḥadīth conceptualized in the form of a character education framework; second, how is the implementation of Ḥadīth in overcoming the moral-spiritual crisis of each learner? Through a descriptive-analytical qualitative approach based on library research, data is obtained from observation and inventory of various literatures that speak about this matter. The results showed that the Ḥadīth is not only a normative foundation, but also used as a practical guide in shaping character such as honesty, responsibility, courtesy, and empathy. In fact, the prophet also consciously modeled the importance of good character which was reflected in the relationships that took place with the companions. In addition, the integration of Ḥadīth values in daily family routines has proven effective in building children’s moral awareness from an early age. In the end, this study confirms the importance of revitalizing the role of Ḥadīth in family-based character education to strengthen the moral foundation of the young Muslim generation in the modern era.

Development of the PAI Curriculum System through Integration of Riwāyah Aḥmad No. 8952
In recent years, various moral issues such as bullying, individualism, and diminished social awareness among students have emerged as critical concerns in education. In response to this, it becomes imperative to examine the concept of akhlāq (moral character) within Islamic education, particularly through the integration of the Prophet’s hadith into the Islamic Religious Education (PAI) curriculum. This research posits two central questions: first, what is the meaning of riwāyah Aḥmad No. 8952, and second, how can the values encapsulated in this hadith be effectively implemented to optimize the function of the PAI curriculum? These questions are analyzed using a qualitative-descriptive methodology, employing a literature study approach that involves a comprehensive review, examination, and comparison of various hadiths and Islamic educational texts. The findings suggest that the conceptual emphasis on akhlāq, which underscores its central role as the primary mission of prophethood, should serve as the foundational framework for the PAI curriculum. Furthermore, the research identifies the application of a Deep Learning approach incorporating Mindful, Meaningful, and Joyful Learning strategies as a promising method for internalizing akhlāq values into students’ lives.

Implementation of the Hadith about Deliberation: A Case Study of Catfish Farming as A Consensus Space for Farmers
Conflicts among farmers over water resource management are often a significant problem, especially during the dry season. This is made all the more complex by the fact that these problems occur on a protracted basis without any concrete action being taken to resolve them. One of these realities occurs in the community of Kedungrejo Village, Malang District. The emergence of catfish cultivation is an alternative business and an effort to form a space for community consensus in discussion. This study analyzes the role of catfish farming as a consensus space in two forms of questions. First, how is the relevance between the hadith about deliberation and catfish cultivation as a community consensus space? Second, how is the impact of catfish farming as a consensus space in breaking the tension in the community? Using a descriptive qualitative approach and Miles and Huberman's analysis, this study found that catfish farming is not only an alternative economic solution but also fosters social solidarity through deliberation. Meanwhile, the hadith about deliberation in farmers' socio-economic practices confirms that Islamic values can be applied in community life. As a result, catfish cultivation in Kedungrejo is proof that deliberation can be a tool for conflict resolution while improving community welfare.

The Influence of Textual and Contextual Understanding of Hadith on Tolerance and Interfaith Cooperation
The religious practices of Muslims consequence of the interpretive models they use present an interesting subject for study. The presence of both textual and contextual approaches has, to some extent, influenced differences in religious attitudes and behaviors. Therefore, this research seeks to identify the differences between textual and contextual models of understanding hadith and their influence on religious tolerance and interfaith cooperation. To begin the study, two research questions are posed: First, how do the attitudes toward religious tolerance compare between students with a textualist understanding and those with a contextualist understanding of hadith? Second, how do their attitudes toward cooperation differ in understanding hadith? These research questions are examined through quantitative research using a causal-comparative (ex post facto) method with a sample of second-semester students from the Faculty of Ushuluddin and Da'wah at IAIN Kediri. The research indicates that there is a significant difference between textual and contextual groups in terms of religious tolerance. The t-test results show a sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.000, smaller than 0.050, indicating a statistically significant difference. Likewise, in terms of cooperation attitude between the textual and contextual groups, the t-test results showed a sig. (2-tailed) of 0.000, which is smaller than 0.050, so the difference is quite significant.

Educational Traditions of the Prophet’s Sports in the Formation of Physical and Mental Health
Modern society's awareness of the importance of a healthy lifestyle has brought new ideas not only limited to diet and sleep but also exercise. In this case, exercise is believed to be important in realizing physical and mental health. However, some groups limit the practice of exercise to archery, swimming, and horseback riding, as referred to the hadith delivered by the prophet. This study aims to analyze the concept of sports in the Prophetic traditions as a basis for developing a holistic sports education program, as well as to examine the permissibility of the Prophetic sports tradition through the contextualization of hadith in the modern era. Through a qualitative approach based on literature study, the author uses a collection of literature and relevant sources of information as research sources. In analyzing the data, the author uses the stages proposed by Miles & Huberman, namely data identification, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. From two questions; how is the contextualization of sports hadith in realizing physical and mental health, and how is the application of hadith about sports in the development of sports education programs, the results show that the concept of sports in the prophet's traditions is not seen from the form of sports alone, such as swimming, archery and horse riding, but rather on the aspect of its purpose and usefulness. Philosophically, the purpose and benefits of sports education in children through the context of archery and horse riding during the Prophet's time are more directed at the form of children's education so that they become individuals who understand the goals and objectives of life, calmness, concentration, and strategies in achieving these goals, including mastery of modern technological means that support the ease of physical activity in facilitating towards every goal of life.

Implementation of Hadith on the Influence of Parenting Style on Child Development
The parent's role in the legal action of building children's character is to encounter new situations along with modern times. Various new challenges are undeniable, such as social, cultural, and economic issues, and the increasingly massive development of digital technology. It should affect the parenting process, where parents are required to observe and control everything that their children do. This study was conducted to find out the hadith commentary on the concept of "parenting", by understanding how children learn and the role of parents in being responsible for their children's education. Hadiths are relevant to parenting learning through two problems. First, what are the characteristics of educators from the perspective of hadith? Second, what are the methods taught by the Prophet in educating children? To answer the two problems, the author used a literature study based on the grounded theory of Saldaña and Anselm Strauss and made the concept of contemporary learning parenting a sensitizing concept. The results show that there are at least 12 hadiths that are relevant to the idea of parenting and produce four characteristics of educators that should be applied in the parenting process, as well as three methods that parents can use in the parenting process. It is important to support the success of every parent in educating, directing, and making children a person with positive character.

Understanding Misogynistic Hadiths from The Perspective of Fazlur Rahman’s Double Movement Hermeneutics
Gender issues constitute a prominent area of inquiry in Islamic studies, particularly about the interpretation of hadith. This is due to the frequent portrayal of women in subordinate positions within patriarchal constructions, including in the interpretation of hadith texts. Several hadiths are even perceived to carry misogynistic discourse, raising critical questions regarding gender justice in Islam. Departing from this discourse, this study formulates two main research questions; first, how can the contextualization of hadiths considered misogynistic be understood within Islam? second, how can Fazlur Rahman’s double movement hermeneutical approach aid in interpreting such hadiths?Utilizing a literature review method and a qualitative-descriptive approach, this research explores the dialectical relationship between the original socio-historical context in which the hadiths were revealed and the universal principles that may be derived to address contemporary challenges. The findings indicate that the emergence of misogynistic views is largely influenced by conservative scholars’ interpretations, which often rely on sacred texts as ontological foundations. These interpretations tend to neglect the socio-historical aspects accompanying the hadiths’ emergence, especially significant in a modern era characterized by fundamentally different social constructs. Therefore, hadiths deemed misogynistic need to be reinterpreted more justly through a socio-cultural lens grounded in the Prophet’s time, as well as through universal ethical values aligned with the spirit of maqāṣid al-syarī‘ah.

Khitan Tradition among Muslims: Integrating Ibnu Hajar's Thought and Modern Science
The practice of circumcision among the Muslim community began during the time of Abraham (peace be upon him) and continues for generations to this day. This reality makes circumcision no longer limited to practice but has been transformed into a living tradition in the community. This is also corroborated by the prophet's hadith which mentions circumcision as one of the five human natures, including part of the process of becoming an adult. However, many children and infants have been circumcised. This phenomenon eventually raises the question: what is the rule of circumcision in Islam, and when is the prescribed time for a Muslim to perform circumcision?. These questions will be analyzed through a descriptive-analytical approach based on library research to find the answers that are comprehensive, scientific, and in line with Islamic rules. In this case, Ibn Hajar's thoughts in Kitab Fath al-Bari become the main source of study, supported by several relevant studies. The results show that the original law of circumcision is mustahab and then becomes obligatory when a person reaches the age of puberty. As for the timing of circumcision, Islam does not specify the ideal circumcision. A person can be circumcised when he is a toddler, a child, and maximum when he is a teenager who enters the age of puberty. The timing is more inclined to the doctor's recommendation so that the circumcision process causes bigger problems in the future.

The Relevance of Thematic Hadith Studies of al-Ardh to The Problems of Land Eco-Theology in The Modern Era
In the last few decades, serious land issues have emerged, such as land degradation, pollution, land scarcity, and ownership conflicts. Departing from this reality, it is important to examine in depth the concept of land utilization and maintenance, because there has been a shift in the function of land from a medium of production to an economic object. On this basis, two problem formulations are proposed as the starting point of the research. First, how is land discussed in the Prophetic traditions? Second, how is the Prophet's guidance related to the maintenance and utilization of land. Both questions will be approached using a qualitative-descriptive method with a library research approach, namely reading and comparing several references related to the study. The results showed that the study of the term al-ardh in the text of the prophetic traditions led to two findings. First, the philosophical aspect in the form of human attitudes towards land. Second, the technical aspects include the priority of land ownership, land utilization methods, and various functions of land which include theological, ecological, social, and economic functions.

Human Rights Discourse for Marginalized People: A Hadith Approach with Hassan Hanafi's Hermeneutics
Human rights apply universally regardless of age, religion, gender, nationality, social status, political views, or local language. However, in practice, intolerant behavior is still widely found. This then gave birth to the term marginalized, such as religious minorities, the weak, powerless, poor, and suburban communities. Departing from these problems, it is important to re-read the hadith guidance to determine tolerant, humanist, and respectful attitudes towards others within the framework of human rights. Two questions become the initial basis of the study; first, how does the hadith view marginalized people? Second, how does Hassan Hanafi’s Hermeneutics interpret the hadith on human rights? Both questions were then analyzed using a qualitative approach with descriptive-analysis-based library research and content analysis as a data analysis technique. The results of this study show that Hassan Hanafi’s hermeneutic reading of the hadith termed the value of equality as “being”, with elements such as brotherhood, equality, and humanity included in “being with others”. In addition, safeguarding and fulfilling human rights for marginalized groups, such as the right to life, justice, equality, property, religious freedom, and decent wages, is part of the “being in the world” referred to in the hadith. This is corroborated by the awareness of the Prophet Muhammad, who always provided examples and guidance in upholding and protecting human rights, especially for marginalized groups.

The Transformation of Understanding Hadith in the Post-Multimedia Era: Balancing Technological Advancements with Tradition Preservation
Technological advances in the post-multimedia era have brought about significant changes in various aspects of life, including in the understanding and dissemination of hadith. Multimedia technology provides faster and wider access to hadith literature, allowing Muslims to access authentic sources more easily. Nevertheless, this transformation also poses challenges in maintaining the authenticity and preservation of the tradition of hadith understanding that has developed over the centuries. This research aims to explore how the development of multimedia technology affects the transformation of people's understanding of hadith and how it interacts with efforts to maintain the interpretive traditions inherited by classical scholars. Using a qualitative method with an interpretive-hermeneutic approach was adopted to help interpret the shifting understanding of hadith among the younger generation and religious communities. The results show that although technological advances have enriched access to hadith, there are concerns about misinterpretation due to the lack of control of authoritative scholars. However, technology also provides opportunities for Islamic scholars and educational institutions to adapt, utilizing multimedia as a means of da'wah as well as the preservation of tradition. Therefore, synergistic efforts between technological innovation and strengthening Islamic literacy are needed so that the understanding of hadith in the post-multimedia era remains authentic and relevant.

Study of Living Hadith on the Wiridan Tradition After Dawn Prayer Until Isyrâq in Banjar Society, Kalimantan Selatan
Various religious practices flourish in Indonesia, particularly amidst the development of Islamic studies discourse. In this context, the tradition of wiridan after the Fajr prayer until isyrâq (mid-morning) serves as tangible evidence of the enduring religious traditions within the Banjar community. Initial assumptions suggest a strong connection between this tradition and prophetic hadiths, as the dzikir and other practices performed until isyrâq are mentioned in the hadiths. Based on this reality, this study specifically examines the form, motivation, and significance of the implementation of this tradition. Through the living hadith approach, the research findings reveal that the transmission of hadiths concerning dzikir and utilizing the time for worship until isyrâq is received diversely, leading to the emergence of various forms and variations of worship. From the perspective of functional reception, the Banjar community perceives the virtues of wiridan after Fajr until isyrâq, which is tied to their understanding and interpretation of the term dzikir in the hadith texts as a form of exegetical reception. Furthermore, dzikir is interpreted in four categories: dzikir through tasbih, dzikir through Quranic recitation, dzikir through religious study sessions, and dzikir through remembrance of Allah. On the aesthetic side, the unique rhythm and manner of reciting wirid among the Banjar community are evident. Another significant aspect is the prominent role of religious leaders and pesantren within the community, where the tradition has grown stronger and is consciously upheld.

An Examination of Banjar Ethnic Marriage Customs From A Living Hadith Perspective
The assimilation of local culture with Islamic values continues to expand in various lines of Muslim life in the archipelago, especially in the Banjar community. One can be seen in the Banjar marriage tradition as a series of events. The tradition continues to be implemented and preserved by the local community. This research aims to trace further the process of cultural assimilation and its intersection with the prophet's hadith. Two questions form the basis of the study: first, what is the process of involvement of the hadith (sunnah) in shaping the customs that have taken root in the community; second, what is the process of contextualization of the hadith text into the local context of the Banjar community?. The results show that the marriage custom, which was a local culture, has sunnah values that can then become a medium for the perpetrators to gain rewards and blessings. In addition, the universal values of hadith can also be applied in the form of hadith's contextualization that is local culture.

A Comparative Discourse on Istidlāl Hadīṡ for the Recitation of Basmalah in Prayer: Perspectives of Nahdlatul Ulama and Muhammadiyah
The discourse surrounding the recitation of Basmalah in Al-Fatihah during prayer has consistently been a contentious issue within society, particularly between members of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and Muhammadiyah. This divergence arises from differences in perspectives and variations in the interpretation of istidlāl (legal reasoning) derived from hadith used by both groups. This study examines the methods and approaches employed by NU and Muhammadiyah in understanding, interpreting, and formulating legal rulings based on hadith. The research focuses on two primary questions: First, what methods are implemented by NU and Muhammadiyah in istidlāl hadith? Second, what narrations serve as their foundational basis for legal rulings? These questions are explored through a descriptive-analytical method grounded in literature review. The findings reveal that; first, NU and Muhammadiyah each have dedicated institutions tasked with understanding Islamic legal sources and issuing fatwas—namely, the Lembaga Bahtsul Masail for NU and the Majelis Tarjih for Muhammadiyah; second, Nahdlatul Ulama employs the qauly, ilhaqy, and manhajy methods in interpreting Islamic legal sources, whereas Muhammadiyah utilizes the bayani, ta'lili, and istishlahi methods; and third, Regarding the recitation of Basmalah in prayer, NU considers it obligatory and recommends its recitation aloud (jahr), based on istidlāl qauli referring to Imam Shafi'i's opinion in Al-Umm. In contrast, Muhammadiyah allows for Basmalah to be recited either silently (sirr) or aloud (jahr), using the bayani method, which draws on hadith narrated by Imam Malik in Al-Muwatta’, offering a more flexible interpretation of the recitation of Basmalah.

Hadith Study on Human “Fitrah” in The Hadith Literacy and Its Implication in The Islamic Education System
The inability of the modern education system to respond to various social problems raises new issues regarding the effectiveness of the education system. The rise of educational system approaches that refer to Western traditions, such as the concept of “tabula rasa” initiated by John Locke, actually exacerbates the existing problems, because there is a dichotomy between knowledge science and religion. Thus, education is no longer able to direct each student to the moral values that have been taught by the predecessors. Departing from the dynamics that occur, this research aims to examine the hadith about fitrah as a new formulation in the Islamic education system. Two questions become the initial basis of the study: first, how is human nature in the literacy of the Prophet's hadith; second, what are the implications of the concept of fitrah in the formulation of Islamic education? Through literature-based qualitative methods, the results show that the hadith about fitrah is massively spread with ittishal. The concept of fitrah in the hadith indicates that every human being is born with a natural tendency towards monotheism and stands on good values. In the framework of Islamic education, this concept becomes the epistemological basis that the educational process is a process of maintaining and actualizing fitrah, so that education is not just a transfer of knowledge, but rather forming an integral personality that is in line with divine values. Thus, the implementation of Islamic education needs to emphasize approaches that recognize the sacred potential in children and design curriculum and learning methods that support the development of fitrah holistically.

Revealing the Legal Formal of Politization of Prophetic Hadith in Riyād al-Sālihin No. 1320
The urgency of the Prophet's hadith often clashes with practical politics, so its meaning is no longer independent and is more directed towards individual and group interests. Indirectly, there is a reduction in meaning and purpose, so it is important to research this matter. In this paper, the researcher examines the hadith of the Prophet saw on riwayah of Imam Muslim no. 1320 in Riyād al-Sālihīn, to answer at least two problem formulations; 1). What is the formal legal form of hadith Muslim narration no. 1320 in Riyāḍ al-Ṣāliḥīnand 2). What is the form of politicization of hadith in practical political practice in the contemporary era. The method used is qualitative analysis, which is descriptive with a contextual-historical approach. The results of this study show that the hadith as the second holy text after the Qur'an has a strategic position in the belief of a Muslim and confirms the formal legal "prohibition" of politicizing hadith because it can urge the ralization of religious values.

Reexamining the Credibility of the Joseph Schacht Concept of Sanad Hadith
Joseph Schacht, through the book The Muhammadan Jurisprudence, raises a criticism of sanad which considers that hadith did not start from the Prophet, but from tabi'in. It's just that Schacht's concept is considered weak because he is inconsistent and forgets a lot of data and important aspects in the study of hadith. This article appears as the author's attempt to explain the concepts promoted by Schacht and also some of the problems carried out by Schacht. With the help of the descriptive-analytical method combined with a comparison of experts' arguments as a medium of analysis, it can be seen how gaps emerge in Schacht's attitude. The results of the analysis explain that the Schacht controversy is related to; first, Schacht's rejection of the hadith which is not in line with the data of the companions which are part of the hadith; secondly, the theory built by Schacht can be said to be very weak, because much of the data found refutes Schacht's hypothesis; third, there is subjectivity in the use of data and analysis results; and fourth, Schacht, who is known as an expert in Islamic law, should study hadith, but he does not believe that hadith comes from the Prophet.

Religious Awareness of Mabrur Hajj Pilgrims in Performing the Hajj Pilgrimage based on the Hadith of the Prophet
As one of the pillars of Islam, the Hajj has great urgency to be carried out by every Muslim who is considered to have the ability. Apart from being an obligation, the Hajj also has many advantages, as explained in the hadith of the Prophet Muhammad. This research examines the congregation's acceptance of the hadith on the virtues of the Hajj and its implementation in carrying out the Hajj pilgrimage through two problem formulations; first, what is the reception of the Hajj pilgrims towards the hadith; and second, what is the form of implementation of the hadith by the congregation? This question was analyzed using a qualitative approach with in-depth interview methods supported by data related to the pilgrims' understanding of the hadith of the virtues of the Hajj and the practices carried out during the Hajj pilgrimage. The research results show that the majority of Hajj pilgrims understand and accept the hadith and the virtues of Hajj well. They try to practice the teachings in the hadith, such as increasing worship, protecting themselves from immoral acts, and increasing spirituality during the Hajj. This shows the high awareness of Hajj pilgrims about carrying out the Hajj pilgrimage as well as possible. This research concludes that the congregation's acceptance of the hadith on the virtues of the Hajj is quite good, and they try to apply it in the implementation of the Hajj, so that this can contribute to a deeper understanding of the dynamics of people's spiritual life.

A Review of Hadith Concerning the Characteristics of Ya’juj Ma'juj and its Relevance to Life in Contemporary Society
Gog and Magog are often the subject of speculation and give rise to various interpretations among scholars and the Muslim community. As a creature mentioned in the Qur'an and Hadith, the Gogg and Magog entity is necessary. However, an explanation of who they are, how they appear, and their traits that tend to be destructive still requires further research based on authentic Hadith. There are also quite a few who interpret Gogg and Magog as an attribute, not an attribute. Therefore, this research aims to determine the physical identification and characteristics of Gog and Magog through a review of the Hadith. The method used in this research is library research using a content analysis approach. The research results show that Gog and Magog have striking physical characteristics such as wide faces, small eyes, curly hair, and short bodies. Apart from that, they are also described as beings who are destructive, know no mercy, and cause great damage to the earth. This research emphasizes the importance of an in-depth understanding of related hadiths to provide further insight into the role and impact of Gog and Magog in the context of Islamic eschatology so that society can be more aware of social issues.

Implementation of the Hadith on Maintain the Cleanliness by Santri of Siti Fatimah Islamic Boarding School, Kanggraksan
The issue of cleanliness is one aspect that Islam pays great attention to. This can be seen from several Al-Qur'an texts and hadiths which equate the level of cleanliness with a person's faith, so it is appropriate for Muslims to implement clean living behavior in their daily lives, especially students in Islamic boarding schools. This article explains the existence of various religious texts regarding cleanliness which are studied by santri through recitation with two basic questions; first, what is the knowledge of the Siti Fatimah Islamic Boarding School students regarding cleanliness traditions?; and second, does the students' knowledge of the hadith on cleanliness have a relationship with clean living behavior? These questions were then studied using quantitative methods with a correlational approach and analyzed using the theory of reasoned action. The results of this research show that there is no significant relationship between knowledge of cleanliness hadiths and clean living behavior of Siti Fatimah Islamic Boarding School students. Based on the analysis of the theory of reasoned action, the santri's clean living behavior is purely a behavior, there are no other influencing factors.

The Interdisciplinary Approach and It’s Contribution to the Study of Living Hadith
The term "Living Hadith" represents a new variant in Hadith studies. The author will elucidate the interdisciplinary approach that has been employed in Living Hadith studies and its contributions. This research applies literature review methodology. Data is collected from Google Scholar research within the timeframe of 2017-2023. Subsequently, the data is classified and analyzed. This study identifies three interdisciplinary approaches most commonly utilized by Living Hadith researchers: phenomenology, sociology of knowledge, and ethnography. The study also demonstrates the contributions of interdisciplinary approaches in Living Hadith studies, including preventing Living Hadith researchers from falling into subjective judgment and unilateral justifications, as well as avoiding the limitation of Living Hadith studies to the mere description of a tradition subsequently grounded in Hadith. Instead, these approaches make the study more intriguing by drawing diverse conclusions in line with the interdisciplinary approach employed.
