The Rejection of Prophetic Traditions: Analyzing the Inkar Sunnah Movement in West Sumatra, Indonesia

This article explores the ideological stance of the Inkar Sunnah movement, which rejects the prophetic traditions (Sunnah) as a source of Islamic law, focusing on its development in West Sumatra, Indonesia. Historically, this movement can be traced back to political and sectarian conflicts in early Islamic history, such as those involving the Khawarij, Shia, and Mu'tazilah sects. Over time, skepticism towards hadith, fueled by fabricated traditions and modern Orientalist critiques, gained traction. Prominent figures like Dalimi Lubis and Nazwar Syamsu have continued to propagate Inkar Sunnah beliefs in modern Indonesia, advocating that the Qur’an alone suffices for Islamic jurisprudence. This research adopts a qualitative library approach, analyzing primary texts by these figures and secondary sources on hadith scholarship. The study critically examines their arguments and the socio-political context that allowed their ideas to proliferate, as well as strategies to counter this ideological challenge within Indonesian Islamic discourse. The findings reveal a persistent tension between traditional Sunni orthodoxy and reformist interpretations that seek to minimize or outright reject the role of the Sunnah, posing significant implications for Islamic legal and theological frameworks.

Ulama Nusantara’s Legacy: Study of Hadith in the Book of Nuṣūṣ al-Akhyār fī al-Ṣawm wa al-Ifṭār in Hasan Hanafi's Hermeneutic Perspective

This research examines the Prophetic traditions contained in the book "Nuṣūṣ al-Akhyār fī al-Ṣawm wa al-Ifṭār" authored by K.H. Maimun Zubair, which is used as the basis of argumentation in determining the beginning of Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr. This research uses Hasan Hanafi's hermeneutical method, which includes a critical analysis of the sanad, the matan of the hadith, the context of the emergence of the hadith, and its relevance. The results of the study found that there were variations in the quality of the hadith sanad in the book "Nuṣūṣ al-Akhyār fī al-Ṣawm wa al-Ifṭār," including the categories of shahih and hasan lighairi (good but not perfect in sanad). However, the overall text of the traditions in the book is considered good quality. This indicates the potential of the traditions contained in the book "Nuṣūṣ al-Akhyār fī al-Ṣawm wa al-Ifṭār" to be used as evidence in determining the laws of Islamic law. In addition, it is essential to understand the hadith text in depth, including its original meaning, historical context, and relevance to the context of life today.

The Ethical Limitation of Using Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Teaching Prophetic Tradition

This research explored the relationship between Prophetic traditions and artificial intelligence (AI), focusing on the ethical implications and dynamics of human-AI interactions in the context of hadith teachings in the postmodern technological era. Involving an in-depth analysis of the Prophet's teachings regarding science and technology, this research aims to detail ethical perspectives that can guide the development and use of artificial intelligence. With an interdisciplinary approach, this research combined religious values with developments in AI technology, discussing the confluence between the traditions of the Prophet and current dynamics in the world of technology. Ethical implications from an Islamic hadith perspective were detailed, highlighting how moral and human values could be integrated into designing and implementing AI technologies. Additionally, this research explored the impact of human-AI interactions in the postmodern era, considering how AI technology could support the development of a society based on the Prophet's teachings and values. A comprehensive understanding of artificial intelligence's limitations, risks, and human responsibilities was also detailed to balance technological progress and moral values. Hopefully, the research results will contribute to a better understanding of the relationship between religious traditions, especially hadith teachings, and advances in AI technology, providing a solid ethical foundation for technological development in the postmodern era

Did the Prophet practice Ijtihad? An Inquiry into the Prophet's Personal Opinion-Based Juridical and Judicial Ruling

This research paper delves into the intriguing question of whether the Prophet Muhammad practiced Ijtihad, issuing personal opinion-based juridical or judicial rulings without explicit divine revelation. It explores the varying perspectives of jurists and Muslim scholars on this matter, with some permitting the Prophet's reliance on his intellect and understanding for issues related to worldly affairs, such as politics, war, agriculture, and judicial cases but not religious matters. The distinction between purely religious and public affairs is supported by numerous texts and narrations. The paper discusses the controversy arising from conflicting interpretations of Quranic and Hadith texts regarding the Prophet's reliance on divine revelation versus his judgment. While some argue that all the Prophet's statements are revelations from God, others point to instances where his opinions were not based on revelation but on Ijtihad. Furthermore, this study underscores the narrower application of Ijtihad in strictly religious matters compared to its broader use in non-theological affairs, adapting to changing situations and times. This controversy prompts a reevaluation of the rigid adherence to the Prophet's tradition in all aspects of Muslim life. It raises questions about the adaptability of these traditions to contemporary situations influenced by politics, technology, culture, and social values. The paper concludes by advocating for a thoughtful categorization of the Prophet's traditions, such as Fatwahs, judicial, theology, politics, personal matters, social, and cultural issues, to determine their relevance and obligatory status for the Muslim community. This categorization, the paper argues, would provide a solid framework for applying the Prophet's tradition, taking into account the dynamic nature of public affairs.

Investigating the Implementation of the Rules of Islamic Criminal Law in Afghanistan

The rules of Islamic Criminal Law, as the most obvious and complete ruling rules in Afghanistan, play an important role in ensuring real justice, continuity and order of society. Since criminal behaviour is a violation of Allah’s authority and justice, it requires that it be recognized first, the perpetrators identified, and then the perpetrators be punished. In the rules of Islamic Criminal Law, taking into account the verses of the Quran and the Prophetic tradition, various types of punishments, including monetary penalties, have been considered for all types of crimes. This article examines the rules of Islamic Criminal Law and how it is implemented. In the same way, it is reasonable to punish the offenders and violators of Islamic rules in a society. But the main goal of this article is to apply punishment based on Islamic Criminal Law in Afghanistan to ensure better justice. The findings of the research also show that the rules of Islamic Criminal Law in the country are applied to the perpetrators of various crimes (from hudud, qisas, and dowry to punishment). To prepare and research this subject, the library research method was used, in the data collection section, the descriptive-analytical research method was used.

The Compassion-Centered Model and Its Constructive Role in the Formation of a Healthy Society in the Light of

Compassion is kindness rooted in appreciation of other human beings as real human beings. Research has been done on these important and constructive educational models of kindness and their constructive role in the formation of a healthy society in the light of the Prophet's way of life. Kindness is one of the important issues. In the field of community education, we can mention skills and characteristics that play a significant role in individual and social relationships based on kindness and attention to people's needs and problems and creating solidarity and responsibility of community members. Although the role of kindness as an educational model in the society has been neglected in the present era, the Quran and hadiths have mentioned it as a source of guidance and human education. This research investigates the concept of compassion and its educational effects from the perspective of the prophetic tradition with a descriptive-analytical method in order to investigate the characteristics and skills of compassion and its educational effects in the fields of belief, emotion, emotional and moral, in individual and social axes, and the culture of compassion to grow in society and focus on it. The results of the research show that compassion is one of the effective and useful personal and social traits that causes the mutual influence of people on each other in the direction of a better life and healing of the soul and spirit. And still, compassion is a set of qualities and skills and has a concept more than kindness and compassion. If after discussion and investigation it can be said that compassion is a person's relationship with God and man himself and It places society and people on the basis of monotheistic belief, love, responsibility, sympathy and empathy. According to this compassion, it has several basic educational roles, including seeing God as present and watching in all stages of life, and seeing Him as the agent of receiving mercy and guidance; And also controlling emotions and feelings and managing human interactions with others and protecting and relieving humans from the pains and pains of others and being kind to them and creating a platform for creating mutual love and good interaction in the community and these are reasons for being human and Muslim. We should keep this religious and human duty alive in our minds so that we can have a society free from unkindness.

Imam Al-Shafi’i: The Founder of Islamic Law

Abu Abdullah Muhammad Ibn Idrees Al-shafi'i is a theologian and renowned Islamic Scholar, who was the first contributor of the principles of Islamic Jurisprudence. He was a famous theologian and it was not his only forte, he also lectured on Poetry, Linguistics and Genealogy as well. His students cane from a varied array of disciplines. Among the four schools of thought of Muslims, Shafi'i is the Imam and founder of his school of thought. He was one of the four great Imams whose legacy on juridical matters and teachings eventually led to the formation of Shafi School of law. He is also the author of several prominent works in the field. Imam Shafi’I wrote many books and according to some narrations, the number is around 123. One of his famous books is Al-Risala. This is a book of his verdict’s specific issues, rather it was a book settling the principles of Islamic jurisprudence upon which every school of thoughts agree. He was one of the first people in the history of Islam who developed this branch of the religion. Another book comprising his rulings called Al-Umm has also become widely popular. Just as his book Al-Risala has the status of the first book and the primary source in the principles of Jurisprudence, like that his book Al-Umm has the status of the primary source in the field of Jurisprudence. The Shafi’i school of Jurisprudence is based on these books. The complete Jurisprudence has been compiled on the basis of these books. Imam Shafi’i write these books in his last year’s, in the early 3rd Century, when he was living in Egypt. In Egypt he not only rearranged Al-Risala, but also revised most of the issues of his Jurisprudence and compiled a collection of them in the form of Kitab Al-Umm. This book was dictated by him to his students and it is through them that it is available today. The four volume book Al-Umm also discussed a special chapter of Jurisprudence, International Islamic Law of War. That’s why it is also used in the formulation of international law. In the Risala which laid down the basis for various legal doctrines, al-Shafi’i established the overriding authority, based only to the Quran and the Sunnah or examples of the Holy Prophet PBUH as transmitted in the traditions. Shafi'i elaborated a system of positive law and a rudimentary legal theory that attracted a number of scholars. His two chief treatises that survived are al-Umm, a collection mainly concerned with positive law and disagreements among the early jurists, and al-Risala, a work on legal theory with particular emphasis on Prophetic Traditions, as a binding source of law. He set a new road towards Islamic Law through these two precious books. His contribution towards Islamic law is able to be discussed and remembered. The article will deal with the contributions of Al- shafi’i in Islamic Law in the light and approach of Al-Umm and Al-Risala.

Legal Authority of Sunnah: An Appraisal

This research is concerned with study of legal authority of Sunnah as the second source of Islamic law. Some scholars have started to spread the notion that Sunnah is not needed in following the teachings of Islam; rather the Holy Qur’an is sufficient for our guidance. The researcher refutes this claim by using the deductive method in his research by reading, analyzing and deriving the subject matter relevant to the topic from the primary sources and mentioning strong arguments from the Holy Qur’an, the traditions of the holy Prophet (ﷺ), sayings of some of his companions and narratives of some early scholars of Islam. Adopting the inductive and deductive methods, the researcher has reached some important conclusions i.e., the need to disclose this claim to the Muslim world, treat it as a conspiracy against Islam, hold a series of seminars and conferences in various parts of the Islamic world to disclose this conspiracy against the Sunnah, reaching a unanimous verdict through consensus (ijma') among the Muslim scholars of the world on this important issue. This research finds that the Sunnah has been followed by the Muslims long before Imam Bukhari and Imam Muslim. A big part of the Islamic jurisprudence is relying on Sunnah and has been followed by Muslims from the day first till now.

The study found that this Qur’anic verse does not encourage, condone, endorse or permit domestic violence in whatever form. It further found that the beating mentioned in the verse is a non-violent symbolic gesture. The major findings are that Islam prohibits and condemns any form of domestic violence against women, and the principles of compassion, mercy, and respect for human dignity are central to Islamic teaching. The paper recommended collaborative efforts of the government and religious leaders to campaign against and condemn domestic violence in whatever form and all ramifications.

Examining Domestic Violence from The Lens of Islamic Law: A Maqasid Analysis

This article aims to examine domestic violence from the perspective of Islamic law with a focus on the maqasid sharia. This study is important to present as a counter-narrative to the widespread view that Islam legalizes violence, due to the tradition of reading normative texts (the Qur'an and Hadith) in a textualist manner. This research uses a quasi-qualitative and descriptive approach and falls into the category of library research. In gathering data sources, the researcher used various instruments, such as observation and documentation or study of related documents. The primary data sources of this research are the Qur'an, Hadith, and fatwas of scholars, while the secondary data sources consist of other relevant literature such as books and journals related to the topic under study. The analysis used by the researcher includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. To clarify the validity of the data, the researcher conducted source and method triangulation. From the study conducted, this research concludes that Islamic teachings reject domestic violence and advocate for a humane and just approach within the framework of Islamic law. The prophetic tradition reinforces the prohibition against violence towards women based on the principle of mu�asyarah bi al-ma�ruf (living together in kindness) in Islam. This study encourages the goverment and related institutions to strengthen legal protection for victims and to enforce strict sanctions against perpetrators of violence.

Islamic marketing of conventional banks: bridging managers’ and clients’ perceived gaps

Purpose While the Noble Quran dictates the prohibition of interest, conventional banks promote Islamic banking by opening Islamic banking windows. Against this backdrop, this study aims to investigate the perceived gaps between managers and clients in Islamic marketing and banking, focusing on conventional banks’ Islamic banking windows. Design/methodology/approach Guided by a qualitative approach, semi-structured personal interviews and observations served as the data collection methods, involving 25 banks and 50 respondents in 3 different districts, namely, Shirajganj, Rajshahi and Chapainawabganj of Bangladesh from January to October 2023. The data were analysed using ATLAS.ti 2023 to explore codes and quotations derived from 14 interview questions. Further, ATLAS.ti 2023 facilitated synthesizing content, concepts, code occurrence, network analysis and thematic analysis. Findings Islamic and non-Islamic banks use Quranic verses, hadiths (prophetic traditions), images of mosques, the Kaaba and Arabic texts as Islamic marketing tools. These spiritual, divine and prescriptive tools are associated with Islamic banking. However, conventional banks receive criticism for having separate Islamic banking windows to serve religiously conscious clients, which generates tension among clients and bank managers. Practical implications The findings can theoretically assist academics in examining conventional banks’ Islamic marketing and banking practices, opening Islamic banking windows. Importantly, Shariah boards can play policy roles in safeguarding the function of Islamic marketing and banking. Managers can use the findings to anticipate client perceptions and enhance Islamic marketing and banking strategies. Likewise, the social implications include the explicit stance of Shariah to mitigate the mixture of halal and haram banking. Originality/value This pioneering study explores the perspectives of Islamic banking windows by non-Islamic banks. The combination of Islamic marketing and banking is a noteworthy novelty in this study and deserves recognition for its unique contribution to halal marketing and finance.

Transformasi Pemahaman Hadis Tata Cara Rukuk dan Sujud Bagi Perempuan

The whole series of prayer movements are arranged in a tauqifi manner taught and practiced by the Prophet SAW. There is no information found in the Prophetic traditions that explain the differences in prayer movements between men and women. In the practice that developed in the community, there was an understanding that there were differences in ruku' and prostration movements for women. Where it is understood that for women to close their hands to their limbs, the distinction appears as a transformation of understanding of the hadith which then becomes a religious practice in the community which is conveyed and taught until it is accepted by the community as a form of teaching. This will then be studied in the form of its transformation from the hadith text into practice in the community. This discussion will be examined with a literature study approach that refers to works in the field of hadith to trace the understanding that emerged in each period. The hadith literature shows that there is a narration in the Musnad of Abu Hanifah that appeared at the beginning of the second century, which hints at a different way of praying for women by closing their limbs. This narration was not popular in the mu'tamad hadith books that appeared until the end of the third century A.H. Based on this. In the fourth century, another understanding emerged based on a narration that explains bowing and prostration in a way that is specific to women. The narration was found in Sunan Kubra al-Bayhaqy, where al-Bayhaqy was a follower of the Shafi'iyyah school of thought. This understanding developed in the books of fiqh shafi'iyyah which were widely used in pesantren and became the understanding and practice of the majority of people who followed the Shafi'i school of thought.
