Abstract

This study analyzes the role of the hadith of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in encouraging social change during three important phases in Islamic history, namely the Khulafaur Rashid, the Umayyad and Abbasid periods, and assesses its relevance in contemporary contexts. This study uses a qualitative approach with a content analysis method on primary and secondary sources that contain hadith and historical records related to social transformation in each period. The results of the study show that during the time of Khulafaur Rashidin, hadith became a normative foundation in organizing socio-political life, including in the distribution of zakat, the protection of minorities, and deliberation in decision-making. In the Umayyad and Abbasid periods, hadith was used as a tool of legitimacy of power, but it also underwent significant codification and standardization, making it an instrument of institutionalized social reform. Contemporary discussions reveal that the values in the hadith remain relevant in promoting social justice agendas, inclusive education, gender equality, and peace. However, challenges arise when the hadith is interpreted textualistically without considering the context and purpose of the shari'a (maqāṣid al-sharī'ah). This study concludes that hadith has great transformative potential if interpreted contextually and progressively, but risks becoming a tool of conservatism if used narrowly. Therefore, hermeneutic and maqāṣid approaches need to be integrated in the understanding of hadith in the modern era.

Abstract

Kufa is one of the strategic cities in the history of Islamic civilization that has made a great contribution to the development of hadith science. Founded during the time of Caliph Umar bin al-Khattab, Kufa developed into an intellectual center inhabited by companions and tabi'in, as well as an important arena for the transmission and study of hadith. This city is not only known as the location of hadith narration, but also as a place for the growth of various schools of fiqh and theological thought that influenced the formation of Islamic scientific methodology. This research aims to examine the traces and dynamics of hadith narration in the Kufa madrasah, by tracing the contributions of scholars, the development of scientific institutions, and the influence of socio-political situations on the transmission of hadith. This study uses a qualitative approach with historical methods and literature analysis, focusing on classical sources and contemporary studies of the hadith and intellectual history of Kufa. The results of the study show that hadith madrassas in Kufah developed in a dynamic socio-political context and full of sectarian debates. Kufa scholars developed a rational and critical approach to the narration of hadith, which had a significant impact on the development of hadith science and fiqh thought. Political dynamics and the emergence of various schools of thought such as Shi'ah, Khawarij, and Ahlus Sunnah also shaped the plural and analytical scientific character of Kufa. Thus, the hadith madrassas in Kufa not only inherited a strong tradition of hadith transmission, but also made an influential methodological contribution to the history of Islamic science. This study emphasizes the importance of Kufa's position as the epicenter of hadith science that continues to have an impact on the development of Islamic studies to the present day.
