Deconstruction of the Existence of Khidr: A Study of Sheikh Mahfudz al-Tarmasi’s Thought Through Derridean Hermeneutics Approach

Discussions on the existence of Prophet Khidr in Islamic tradition have long been debated. Questions about his status as a prophet or saint, whether he is still alive or has passed away, and other issues remain significant among Muslims. These debates have also drawn the interest of Sheikh Mahfudz al-Tarmasi, a prominent Nusantara scholar. In his work, “Ināyat al-Muftaqir bimā Yata`allaq bi Sayyidinā al-Khidr `Alaihi al-Salām.” al-Tarmasi offers detailed and critical insights into Prophet Khidr’s existence. This research examines al-Tarmasi views using Derridean hermeneutics to deconstruct traditional thoughts on Prophet Khidr and encourage new interpretations. Employing a qualitative descriptive literature method, the study aims to gain a deeper understanding of Prophet Khidr’s existence. By applying Derrida’s deconstructive approach, this paper shows how al-Tarmasi addresses the contradictions among the views of Sufis, hadith scholars, and jurists about Prophet Khidr. The findings suggest that al-Tarmasi supports the idea that Prophet Khidr is still alive, thus reinforcing the Sufi perspective in Islamic tradition. This alignment not only highlights al-Tarmasi’s critical stance but also contributes to the broader discourse on the diverse interpretations of Islamic teachings.

The news and structural style in the poem of Ibn Zurayq Al-Baghdadi (La Taathleh)

This research deals with the two styles of news and composition in Ibn Zuraiq Al-Baghdadi’s poem (Do not torture him); These two styles are the pillars of Arabic speech and the basis of its discourse, and each of them has linguistic, grammatical, stylistic, and rhetorical characteristics that distinguish it from the other. In this research, we will discuss the definition of the two styles in language and terminology, and provide a brief overview of the poet mentioned in our research. Then we will move on to mention the declarative places, as well as the constructional ones, and how Ibn Zuraiq al-Baghdadi used them in each place, and the reasons for his use of each style. And exploring the aesthetics of all of the above to conclude a set of results in which we mention the aesthetics of each style in poetic discourse, and the extent of this poet’s ability to employ methods to attract the recipient’s attention towards what he presented. The aim of the study is to highlight the stylistic and rhetorical features of the two styles as well, and to work on analyzing the aforementioned verses, including predicates or constructions. It should be noted that there are verses that contain both styles, so we will analyze the style in which we see the appropriate or strongest significance, even though we have analyzed the two styles in a way that we hope to It will be enough. After that comes the list of sources and references that we have adopted in this research. They are diverse sources and references, including traditional, rhetorical, grammatical, and contextual sources, as well as the books of hadith scholars due to their importance in rhetorical and contextual studies.

Articulation of Hadith in Minangkabau Socio-Religious Contexts: A Study on the Collection of Speeches by Sheikh Abdul Lathif Syakur (1882-1963)

The collection of speeches (CoS) written by Sheikh Abdul Lathif Syakur (SALS), a scholar who experienced both the colonial and old-order eras, serves as a thematic compilation of hadith reflecting the mid-20th century Minangkabau writing tradition. Through this collection, SALS demonstrated his expertise as a hadith scholar by analyzing the context of his era and interpreting social realities based on hadiths pertinent to society. This article aims to delve into the socio-religious vision that SALS constructs through the themes articulated in his speeches. Using a descriptive-historical method and thematic analysis, this article reveals that SALS founded his socio-religious vision on four main pillars: renewal, community integrity, moderation, and the roles of women in public life. SALS's ability to adapt hadith to his time, combined with his inclusive and human-centered approach, portrays him as a progressive scholar, challenging the rigid stereotype of hadith scholars.

Kajian Hadits Tentang “Hajar Aswad” Dalam Perspektif Linguistik (Analisis Pada Matan Hadits)

Abstract— The Hadith is the second source after the Qur'an, with scholars of Hadith defining it as the sayings, actions, approvals, and all things related to the Prophet Muhammad. Historically, during the time of the Prophet, his Companions would always ask him about rulings, worship, social transactions, and all matters. However, this was no longer possible after the Prophet's death, leading to the compilation of Hadith by the Companions. In some cases, certain Hadiths reported from the Prophet cannot be immediately understood, as their texts often contain symbolic language that requires special interpretation to grasp their meaning. This research is categorized as library research. Sudaryanto outlines three stages of the research process. The first is data collection: after identifying various problems, objects, and major themes in the study, the researcher will present the data collection, including books and journals related to the research. Like other linguistic research methods, language research can follow two phases: conversation or observation. Second, data analysis is the process of organizing the data, categorizing it, and arranging it into patterns. Sudaryanto explains that analysis is the researcher’s effort to directly address the issues found in the data. Similar to data collection, data analysis can be conducted using two methods: the comparative method and the distributive method. Third, data presentation: after the data is collected and analyzed, the next step is presenting the findings. In this study, the data is presented informally, as the researcher explains the types of language used in Hadith and its relation to the historical background of the emergence of the Hadith text, using everyday language. The findings of this study conclude that the Hadith regarding the Black Stone being from paradise carries a metaphorical meaning. "From paradise" refers to the blessings from Allah associated with the stone. Some people suggest that the Black Stone is a meteor with high radiation and serves as an entrance to the synergy of the Ka’bah. The stone is considered special because it was carried by Prophets Ibrahim and Ismail. Kata kunci: Hadith, Linguistic, Histories

Analysis of the Meaning of the Hadith on Wiping the Khuf in the Book of Al-Żikrā by AGH. KH. Lanre Said: A Textual Interpretation of Hadith

Wiping the khuf is one of the actions taught by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) as a form of relief when purifying. Meanwhile, the book of Al-Żikrā is one of the works of an Indonesian scholar from South Sulawesi, namely AGH. KH. Lanre Said. But it is still very rare to be discussed and studied further. The main objective of this study is to analyse and elaborate on the meaning of the Prophet Muhammad's hadith about wiping the khuf in the book of Al-Żikrā. In this research, the ma'ān al-ḥadīṡ approach is used by performing the technique of textual interpretation of hadith initiated by hadith scholars, namely Arifuddin Ahmad, as a step in analysing the hadith, which is the object of the research. This research is descriptive qualitative literature research. The results show that, when viewed from the diversity of narration techniques, the hadith is narrated in meaning and narrated in complete and incomplete. As for the variety of language forms and styles, it was found that the hadith was delivered in three dialects of the language, namely Fushah, Persian, and Sham, in the form of affirmative dialogue, and was classified as a sentence full of meaning and logic. In terms of the diversity of the content of the hadith, it is found that the content of the hadith is related to the issue of worship, in this case, mahdah worship and legal provisions. On the other hand, AGH. KH. Lanre Said tends to interpret the hadith textually, saying that what is meant by khuf is shoes in general, and the hadith contains legal provisions relating to the permissibility of wiping the shoes instead of wiping the feet during ablution

Conceptualizing Living Qur’an and Hadith

In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in the study of the Qur’an and hadith beyond the emphasize on the texts, in particular, among the students and scholars of both fields in Indonesia. Terms related to these studies such as living Qur’an and hadith emerge. A few of the Qur’an and hadith scholars attempt to discuss the detailed meanings and usages of the terms. Furthermore, many of them try to implement these terms in their studies. However, the elaborations related to the origin of the living Qur’an and hadith terms, as well as their conceptualization are few. Thus, this study aims to review previous literature, discuss the origin of the living Qur’an and hadith terms, and develop the conceptualization of these terms

The Sunnah between Fundamentalists and Traditionaists

Talking about the Sunnah in the origins of jurisprudence is not a repetition of all that is found in the science of Hadith, but there is a big difference between some of its issues and terms, for example, fundamentalists talk about the authenticity of the Sunnah and the infallibility of the prophets, and the issues of news and construction, but the Traditionaists do not address those issues different definitions between the fundamentalist study of the Sunnah and the study of it in the science of the term Hadith and the differences between them and the consequent differences in the issue of (definition of the Sunnah and the definition of the Companion of the Hadith sent). The origins of jurisprudence were concerned with the search for Sharia evidence, the scholars of Hadith were concerned with the transmission of what was added to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), the scholars of jurisprudence concerned with the search for Sharia rulings of imposition, duty, delegate, haram and hatred, and those who are ready to preach and guide have meant everything that the Sharia has ordered or forbidden.

Penggunaan Kitab-kitab Rijal dalam Penilaian Periwayat Hadis

Rijal books play an essential role in hadith studies by providing detailed information on the biographies and evaluations of hadith narrators. Through this literature, hadith scholars can assess the reliability and credibility of narrators, which helps determine the authenticity of the hadiths they transmit. This article explores the methodology in rijal books, their relevance in contemporary hadith studies, and the challenges they face in the modern context. The methodologies used include sanad criticism, compiling the biographies of narrators, and evaluating reputations based on scholars' testimonies. Sanad criticism ensures the continuity and trustworthiness of the transmission chain, while narrator biographies provide a comprehensive view of the narrators' lives, education, and activities. Reputation evaluation gathers opinions from scholars who know the narrators. The use of rijal books remains relevant in hadith verification, sanad criticism, hadith education, and academic research. They also offer insights into the social, political, and cultural contexts of the narrators, which are crucial for interpreting hadiths in the modern context. However, there are several challenges in their use, including limited information, the influence of historical context, and the need to integrate modern methodologies. Digital technology offers broader access but also raises challenges of validity and reliability of information. Major rijal books such as Al-Tarikh al-Kabir by Imam al-Bukhari and Al-Jam'u Bayna Rijal al-Shahihayn by Ibn Qirani, as well as other works like Ushul al-Ghabah Fi Ma’rifatil Asma’is Shahabah and Al-Thabaqat al-Kubra, make significant contributions to hadith studies. By understanding the methodologies and challenges in using rijal books, we can better appreciate the complexity and importance of hadith studies in the Islamic tradition. These books remain an important reference for anyone wishing to delve into hadith science and ensure the authenticity and validity of hadith chains.

VALIDASI SYARAT TASALSUL DAN NISBAH PERAWI

This study discusses the validity of the tasalsul requirements of the musalsal bi al-Mishriyin hadith narrated by Jalaluddin Abdur Rahman as-Suyuthi in his book Jiyad al-Musalsalat, in the science of hadith, there is one type of hadith that is famous for its weaknesses, because it was narrated to our day. this, namely the musalsal hadith that requires special procedures or characteristics in its transmission, because of its uniqueness in this transmission, many major hadith scholars also participate in narrating it even though most of this type of hadith is weak, therefore in order to distinguish whether it is authentic or dhaif especially for people lay. This study uses a literature study by analyzing and matching the content of the biographical books of narrators or Mu'jam Buldan and the names of the narrators written by as-Suyuthi in his book Jiyad al-Musalsalat. he must have a ratio to the Egyptian state. Based on the results of the analysis, it can be seen that all the narrators mentioned by as-Suyuthi in his sanad have a ratio to the Egyptian state, but there are some narrators who are not originally Egyptian but have lived in Egypt for a long period of time.

HADITS DHA’IF DAN HUKUM MENGAMALKANNYA

This study aims to analyze and review the use of dha’if (weak) hadith in Islamic law, considering the significant differences of opinion among scholars. Hadith is the second primary source of Islamic law after the Quran and plays a crucial role in explaining the Quran. However, dha’if hadith often becomes a subject of debate regarding its validity and application in Islamic jurisprudence. The majority of hadith scholars and jurists have differing views on the use of dha’if hadith, with some scholars completely prohibiting it and others allowing it under certain conditions.This research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical method. Primary data includes dha’if hadiths found in major hadith collections, opinions of scholars on dha’if hadith, and statements from key figures in the fields of hadith and fiqh. Secondary data consists of supporting literature such as books, journals, scholarly articles, and writings of classical and contemporary scholars. Data collection techniques involve literature review and interviews with experts in hadith and fiqh.Data is analyzed using descriptive-analytical techniques, involving the categorization of hadith based on their degree of weakness, analysis of scholars' views on the use of dha’if hadith, and interpretation of data to construct a strong argument regarding the legal use of dha’if hadith. Data validation is conducted through source and method triangulation to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the research findings.

Digitalization and the Challenges of Hadith Dissemination in the Modern Era

In this modern era, of course we cannot avoid technology. Increasingly advanced technology has an influence on the world of education, one of which is the science of hadith. Hadith that appear in online or offline digital media have been very easily accessed anywhere, without a clear filtering process to understand them. The digitization of hadith in this modern era certainly has good impacts and challenges that must be accepted by everyone, especially hadith scholars. This article aims to analyze the challenges and opportunities that arise in the use of hadith digitization in the modern era. Using the descriptive-qualitative method, the study analyzes the various media that have developed in hadith studies especially in the online and offline digital world. The results of this discussion show that the digitization of hadith has many challenges due to the easy access to hadith, one of the challenges is the easy spread of false hadith. However, among these challenges there are also opportunities and benefits of the digitization of hadith in the modern era, namely the ease of accessing hadith that used to be still in the hadith books, now changing to digital versions online or offline.

Mudraj Hadith and Its Relationship with the Art of Hadith Text Criticism

This study aims to explain the relationship between determining mudraj (interpolated), which is one of the types of weak hadith, and the art of critiquing hadith texts, which is included in one of the processes of assessing the status of hadith or also referred to as hadith criticism. Based on the authors’ observations, there has never been a connection between determining the mudraj of the text and text criticism in specific studies. The authors employ library research methods and text analysis to identify the approach used by hadith scholars in determining idrāj and mudraj expressions, evaluating the discussed examples, and their relationship with the art of text or matan (text/content) criticism. The study results indicate that the art of critiquing hadith texts has long been rooted in the discussions of hadith science and is highly objective without being influenced by any ideology or thought. At the same time, it can refute baseless accusations that hadith scholars have neglected textual aspects and only focused on the isnad aspect alone.

Opinion of Hadith Scholars on The Understanding of Hadith by Extremists

More than 120 Muslim scholars around the world have rejected Al-Baghdadi's caliphate and condemned atrocities committed by ISIS through one open letter distributed at the end of September 2014. The scholars decided that the concept of the Islamic caliphate is not valid. The article seeks to uncover and deal with hadith concerns misinterpreted by ISIS and addressed by hadith scholars’ views. This article uses library research techniques to gather a variety of ideas, facts, research findings, and expert opinions along with pertinent analysis. Among the causes of confusion and misunderstanding of hadith amongst Muslim is the development of technology, which allows people to obtain and interpret information about hadith without consulting religious experts, using logic of reason in interpreting the hadith, understanding the hadith without considering maqasid, misunderstanding of the contextual approach, and others. The results of this writing are expected to assist Muslim community in understanding the hadiths of the Prophet SAW well without any confusion that can distort their belief and practice.

Metodologi Kritikan Sanad Riwayat Sirah: Satu Kajian Terhadap Akram Ḍiyā’ Al-ʿumarī Dalam Karyanya Al-Sīrah Al- Nabawiyyah Al-Ṣaḥīḥah

Criticism (naqd) of hadith narrations is one of the ways to determine the authenticity of a hadith. This method has also been employed in the compilation of the Prophet's biography (sirah) by scholars in their work known as al-Sīrah al-Nabawiyyah. Through research conducted on this work, it was found that scholars critiqued certain narrations in the sirah based on two main aspects of hadith, namely the sanad (chain of narrators) and the matan (content). Therefore, this article constitutes a methodological analysis study of the scholars' use of criticism (naqd) solely from the perspective of the sanad in narrations of the sirah. It uses Akram Ḍiyā’ al-ʿUmarī, a contemporary scholar in the field of sirah and history, as a sample for the study through his work, al-Sīrah al-Nabawiyyah al-Ṣaḥīḥah. A qualitative research approach employing library analysis methods is utilized to extract the methodology employed by Akram Ḍiyā’ al-ʿUmarī in his criticism (naqd) of the sanad of sirah narrations and to analyze his criticism based on the recognized methods of Takhrīj al-Ḥadīth and al-Ḥukm ʿAlā al-Riwāyah, as established by hadith scholars. The results of this study show that Akram Ḍiyā’ al-ʿUmarī critiques the sanad of sirah narrations with a lenient approach towards accepting weak narrations, in accordance with the methodology proposed by hadith scholars.

Himpunan Hadith Akhir Zaman Yang Pertama: Nu`Aym Bin Ḥammād Al-Marwazī (M. 228H) dan Kitab Al-Fitan wa al-Malāḥim

Nu`aym bin Ḥammād is one of the famous scholars who made important contributions in hadith and Islamic belief. His book al-Fitan wa al-Malāḥim is considered the earliest work on great calamities before the end times. However, Nu`aym and his book have been criticized by previous and current hadith scholars. This study was conducted with the aim of studying Nu`aym's character and the position of his book al-Fitan. In order to achieve this goal, a qualitative method is used by analyzing the content that were found in scholarly writings about Nu`aym and the position of his book al-Fitan. This study shows that Nu`aym is a ṣadūq hadith narrator but makes many mistakes. His firmness in opposing the Jahmiyyah group caused him to die in government custody. As for his book, there are several political slanders and natural phenomena that prompted him to write this book al-Fitan. However, hadith scholars stated that this book contains many hadiths that are not reliable, and people must be careful when referring to them.

Kepentingan Menganalisis Status Perawi Hadis Dengan Neraca Ilmu Al-Jarh Wa Al-Ta’dil: Tumpuan Terhadap Status Periwayatan Abu Hanifah

Hadith is the second source of Islamic legislation after the Quran. Due to the importance of this matter, scholars have given significant attention and concern to ensuring the authenticity and validity of the transmission of each hadith. Various branches of Hadith studies have been organized and established by scholars to ensure that this goal is achieved. Among the most important branches of Hadith studies is the science of al-Jarh wa al-Ta'dil, which discusses the credibility of a hadith narrator to determine whether their narration is directly accepted, accepted with supporting evidence, or rejected. Many hadith scholars discuss the science of al-Jarh wa al-Ta'dil, and they undoubtedly have their own research methods.Imam Abu Hanifah, on the other hand, is a prominent figure in the field of Islamic jurisprudence and has a number of hadiths attributed to him. Therefore, he cannot escape the comments of scholars of al-Jarh wa al-Ta'dil and their views on the credibility of Imam Abu Hanifah in narrating hadiths. This article aims to uncover the importance of assessing the status of a hadith narrator using the scale of al-Jarh wa al-Ta'dil. This study uses library methods to gather information on the comments of al-Jarh wa al-Ta'dil regarding Imam Abu Hanifah, and then analyzes the methods of scholars in their evaluation of his status. This study is expected to clarify the importance of analyzing the status of hadith narrators according to the scale of al-Jarh wa al-Ta'dil.

Examining Hadith In The Light of The Holy Qur’an: “The Method of ‘Ard”

This method takes its place in the literature as an important subject of Islamic methodological sciences due to the debates about whether the ‘ard method can be a criterion when obtaining judgments in the science of Fiqh and determining the degree of authenticity of hadiths in the science of Hadith. The presentation of the ‘ard method by some schools as the only criterion in determining the belonging of the Hadiths to the Prophet (peace be upon him) brings with it allegations of subjective Quran-Sunnah contradiction. This situation leads to neglecting scientific data by ignoring the findings of studies examining the chain of transmission of Hadiths and results in the rejection of certain Hadith narrations attributed to the Prophet (peace be upon him) based on personal opinions. Moreover, drawing subjective conclusions that Hadith contradicts Quranic principles poses a methodological problem. To resolve this issue and approach the matter of ‘ard as a scientific method, it is necessary to clearly define the nature of the arz method, consider the evidence for its application as a method, examine the historical development of arz practices, and establish the principles of its application. The study first defines the arz method and explains the difference between the terms 'teârud' and 'muarada' to prevent conceptual confusion. It then addresses the starting points of debates related to the questions "Can there be contradictions between the Quran and Hadith?" and "Did the Prophet (peace be upon him) ever make statements contrary to the Quran?" In the subsequent sections of the research, it analyzes when the ‘ard method began, how it was practiced during the time of the Prophet (peace be upon him), the period of the companions, and later periods, as well as how scholars of Hadith and jurists of various schools such as Hanafi, Shafi'i, Maliki, and Hanbali approached this method. The principles of the ‘ard method, its rational and narrational evidence, examples of its application, and considerations necessary to preserve its scientific integrity are then examined.

Examining the Intersection of Prophetic Hadith and Intellect: Authenticity, Contradiction, and Scholarly Perspectives

This article critically examines the question of whether a prophetic Hadith can be considered weak if it conflicts with intellect. The research employs analytical and library research methods, drawing on a range of scholarly works including books, academic articles, and writings by Muslim scholars spanning both the classical and contemporary eras.This study reveals that when the authenticity of a Hadith is uncertain and it contradicts intellect, it can be deemed weak. However, if a Hadith is deemed authentic by Hadith scholars despite its contradiction with intellect, two distinct theories emerge among Muslim scholars. The first theory, supported by many classical scholars and their contemporary followers, argues that a correct Hadith never opposes the intellect. According to this perspective, a sound and clear intellect will never contradict an authentic Hadith. In contrast, the second theory, advocated by modern Muslim scholars and some classical scholars, posits that a prophetic Hadith should be considered weak if it conflicts with intellect.The findings of this paper indicate that a prophetic Hadith, when narrated through a strong chain of narrators tracing back to the Prophet Muhammad, cannot inherently contradict the intellect. However, if a Hadith contradicts sound intellect, it can serve as a valid reason to question its authenticity and consider it weak. Through a comprehensive analysis of the scholarly discourse surrounding this topic, this study provides a deeper understanding of the complex relationship between prophetic Hadith and intellect. It underscores the importance of rigorous authentication processes, emphasizing the need to consider the reliability of the Hadith chain and the principles of intellectual reasoning when assessing the strength or weakness of a prophetic Hadith

Definition and description of Orientalists' studies and their views on the Imamite narrative heritage in the interpretation of the Holy Quran

The Christian religion took root in the world as a universal monotheistic religion after the Jewish religion and expanded in the whole world until Islam came. They dealt with their research in the Holy Qur’an and the personality of the greatest Messenger (PBUH) and the family of the House. Evidence documenting and proving it. Shiite scholars agree that what is meant by the guardians here are the pure and infallible imams (pbuh), and among the similarities promoted by the orientalists is the likeness of the distortion of the Noble Qur’an. It is a false fabrication that has no foundation, and the origin of the reality of the Qur’anic text is proven in the sayings of our eminent scholars, not what the orientalists claim. Sayyid al-Khoei, who is well-known among Muslims, says that distortion does not occur in the Qur’an, and that what is in our hands is the entire Qur’an revealed to the Great Prophet (PBUH), and many scholars have stated this. Among them is the chief of the hadith scholars, al-Saduq Muhammad ibn Babawayh, and he counted the saying of non-distortion as one of the beliefs of the Imamiyyah, including the sheikh of the sect, Muhammad ibn al-Hasan al-Tusi. What we have mentioned of some of the opinions of the Orientalists is only the tip of the iceberg of the thousands of research and writings written by malevolent fingers that try to scatter Muslims and sow discord among them.
