Abstract

This article examines the transformation of methods used in commenting on hadith in the era of new media. It addresses three main questions: First, what forms does hadith commentary take in the new media era? Second, what factors have contributed to these changes in the practice of hadith commentary? Third, how has the shift in interpretive meaning occurred as a result of these evolving modes of commentary within the new media environment? The analysis is conducted using an interpretative approach. By employing these methodological steps, the study identifies emerging patterns of hadith commentary in the new media era that differ from earlier models, both in terms of presentation and analytical engagement with hadith material. This study finds, first, that the presentation of hadith commentary on Instagram reflects a significant transformation: what was once primarily text-based is now conveyed through diverse visual formats. These include captions, images, microblogs, and videos, which have revitalized a tradition of commentary that had long been stagnant and underdeveloped. Second, these changes in hadith commentary represent a scholarly response to the rapid evolution of new media technologies, including social media. Third, media technology has enabled hadith commentary—previously confined largely to printed formats—to appear across various online platforms. These accounts may be managed by institutions dedicated to hadith studies or by anonymous individuals, whether operating personally or in other capacities.

Abstract

Modern debates about hadith are often organized through the binary of rejection and defense. That classification identifies polemical positions but obscures the different standards by which prophetic reports are made religiously binding. This article compares Kassim Ahmad and M. Syuhudi Ismail as two parallel, asymmetrical projects in late twentieth century Malaysia and Indonesia. Using qualitative document analysis, contextual close reading, directed content analysis, and structured-focused comparison, it examines seven primary works through five dimensions: foundational norm, status of hadith, validation procedure, authorized mediator, and normative reach. The analysis finds that Kassim does not deny the possible historical existence of reports about the Prophet; he subordinates their authority to Qur’anic, historical, and rational adjudication and treats them as defeasible historical precedents. Syuhudi, by contrast, preserves hadith as a normative source while conditioning its acceptance and application on disciplined sanad-matn criticism, identification of the Prophet's function, and contextual interpretation. Both projects reject unexamined reception, but they assign final jurisdiction to different procedures and forms of competence. The comparison therefore reframes modern hadith controversy as a contest over how authority is organized rather than a simple conflict between tradition and reason.
