Abstract

This study examines the relationship between religion and the state during the reign of Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz (717–720 CE) from the perspective of Islamic political history. It addresses a significant gap in the existing literature, which has predominantly portrayed Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz as an exemplary moral ruler while paying limited attention to the structural relationship between religious and political authority under his administration. Employing a qualitative library-based method, the study adopts intellectual and political historical approaches to analyze classical Islamic sources alongside contemporary scholarship. The analysis focuses on four key dimensions: political legitimacy, the role of religious scholars, administrative reform, and the ethical orientation of the state. The findings reveal that Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz neither separated religion from the state nor instrumentalized religion solely to legitimize political power. Instead, he developed an integrative model in which religion functioned as the normative foundation of governance, while the state operated as an ethical institution responsible for realizing justice, accountability, and public welfare. This study argues that his administration represents an early articulation of the ethical state in classical Islamic political thought. Its novelty lies in reinterpreting Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz's governance as an institutional model of religion–state relations rather than merely an example of personal piety, thereby contributing to a more structural and theoretical understanding of classical Islamic political thought.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the quality of the chain of narrators (isnad) in Sahih Muslim by conducting an isnad critique on the hadith about the ten natural dispositions (fitrah) of human beings. The research method used in this paper is library research, which involves utilizing books as sources for data collection, as well as applying the method of takhrij al-hadith to trace the hadith. The findings and discussion in this study reveal that one narrator in Muslim’s transmission chain was identified as having memory issues. However, the narrator's weak memory does not affect their integrity in transmitting the hadith. Based on the research conducted, the author concludes that the isnad of the hadith narrated by Muslim regarding the ten natural dispositions of human beings is classified as ḥasan li gairihi (good due to corroborating evidence). This study recommends that academics further develop isnad critique research on narrations in Sahih Muslim.
