Abstract

This article discusses the Common Link theory developed by G.H.A. Juynboll in contemporary hadith studies. This theory, which is a development of Joseph Schacht’s ideas, offers a new perspective in hadith studies by questioning the authenticity and transmission mechanisms of hadith, highlighting the role of a central transmitter in the spread of a sanad, who often becomes the starting point in the construction of a narration. Using a literature review approach, this article analyzes the implications of the Common Link theory on the validity of isnads, matn criticism, and the historicity of the Prophet Muhammad’s (SAW) hadith, while also applying the theory to specific hadith to demonstrate its practical application. The analysis shows that the Common Link theory has fundamental implications for conventional understandings of the origins and sources of hadith, leading to a reconceptualization of the transmission process and the period of their emergence. Although this theory has been challenged by Muslim scholars such as M.M. Azami—who advocates traditional methods like muqaranah and mu‘aradah—its contribution to contemporary hadith studies cannot be overlooked in shaping a more critical and interdisciplinary approach to hadith literature. The study’s findings suggest that this theory offers a critical framework for evaluating hadith, especially in the context of historical reconstruction and the detection of ideological motives behind their transmission.

Abstract

The issue of gender equality continues to be a topic of concern in religious discourse, particularly in contemporary Islamic studies. Some consider Islamic teachings to be patriarchal and biased against women. This raises critical questions about how hadith are understood and interpreted in the context of gender equality. This study aims to examine the hadith perspective on the issue of gender equality through a qualitative approach based on literature review. Data were collected from major hadith books, classical and contemporary exegetical literature, and related academic research. The analysis was conducted in three stages: content analysis to explore the meaning of hadith, comparative analysis of gender ideology, and interpretive analysis of hadith that contradict the values of gender equality discourse. The results show that many ideas on the issue of gender equality contradict the hadith of the Prophet Muhammad.

Abstract

The relationship between ulama and umara is a classic issue in Islamic civilization that has major implications for the moral and social stability of the community. Throughout history, the closeness or distance between these two entities often determines the religious direction and legitimacy of power. Imam Jalāluddīn as-Suyūṭī (d. 911 H) through his work Ar-Risālah as-Sulṭāniyyah emphasized the importance of maintaining ethical boundaries in the relationship between ulama and rulers, especially amidst political situations full of interests. This study aims to uncover the concept of the boundaries of the relationship between ulama and umara according to as-Suyūṭī and its relevance to the context of modern Islamic power. The method used is a library research study with a content analysis approach to the text of Ar-Risālah as-Sulṭāniyyah, complemented by a historical study of the context of Sultan Qāytbāy's reign during the Mamluk period. The results of the study show that as-Suyūṭī emphasized four main principles: maintaining the independence of ulama from political pressure, advising rulers with wisdom and courage, refusing gifts that could potentially tarnish integrity, and placing knowledge as a moral control over power. The conclusion of this study confirms that the ethical concept of the ulama-umara relationship according to as-Suyūṭī is still relevant in maintaining the balance between religious and political authority, and serves as an important guideline for the formation of the character of ulama with integrity in the contemporary era.
