Abstract

This study aims to explore probability as one of the new methods of understanding the hadith about the majority of women who inhabit hell by integrating the ratio of male and female hadith at the end of time as the counting scale. The use of the thematic-multidimensionality method, this study construed and elaborated the related hadith (al-jam'u bain al-adillah). The results of the study revealed that the more women than men in the world, affecting the majority of women as residents of heaven and hell, and vice versa, affecting the minority of men as residents of heaven and hell. It proves the misogyny assumed in the hadith was not essential. Thus, it is not appropriate if this hadith used as a tool to discredit women have a bad character so that they become the most occupants of hell than men, or conversely reject the hadith that is authentic only because of reasons contrary to reason

Highlights

  • Humans are not able to particular the future or something that hasn’t happened yet, especially in the realm of eschatology.1 But at least humans can predict the likelihood of what will happen and measure how likely it will be

  • The hadith exhibited a specific number in the form of a general description such as the words ‫( أَ ْكثَ َر‬majority) and ‫( أَقَ َّل‬minority) which are narrated from various lines of sanad and matan editors and found in several canonical hadith books both in the saheeh, sunan and musnad

  • Mitter considered the eclipse hadith as alms had existed at the beginning of the second century. This analysis needs to be reviewed because it is not impossible for a person - in this case the Prophet - to express a similar problem in different situations or conditions

Summary

Introduction

Humans are not able to particular the future or something that hasn’t happened yet, especially in the realm of eschatology. But at least humans can predict the likelihood of what will happen and measure how likely it will be. Humans are not able to particular the future or something that hasn’t happened yet, especially in the realm of eschatology.. At least humans can predict the likelihood of what will happen and measure how likely it will be. This action is based on the logic of probability, in the end, it cannot ensure. It gives limit the likelihood of an event occurring. This logic can be applied in the hadith, especially to the hadith displayed figures and quantity, such as hadith about the number of women in heaven and hell. The hadith exhibited a specific number in the form of a general description such as the words ‫( أَ ْكثَ َر‬majority) and ‫( أَقَ َّل‬minority) which are narrated from various lines of sanad and matan editors and found in several canonical hadith books both in the saheeh, sunan and musnad
