Abstract

This study critically examines the hadith methodology employed by Imam al-Tirmidhi in his monumental work, Sunan al-Tirmidhi. The analysis addresses al-Tirmidhi's biography, his socio-cultural milieu, the compilation process of his collection, and the distinctive features of his approach to classifying and evaluating hadith. Employing a qualitative library-research design, the study draws on primary sources—Sunan al-Tirmidhi and al-'Ilal al-Saghir—alongside secondary literature in classical and contemporary hadith scholarship. The findings show that al-Tirmidhi's methodology is distinguished by its integration of hadith criticism with fiqh, its systematic use of critical terminology such as hasan, and its inclusion of scholarly commentary on juristic practice. At the same time, the study identifies notable weaknesses: terminological inconsistency—most visibly in the compound grading hasan sahih—a tendency toward tasahul (leniency) in accepting hadith, and limited depth in isnad criticism. The study concludes that al-Tirmidhi's methodology occupies a moderate position within the discipline of hadith criticism, bridging the authority of transmitted reports with the practical demands of Islamic law

Abstract

This paper offers a critical analysis of Clifford Geertz's seminal essay Religion as a Cultural System (1966), which introduced an interpretive paradigm into the study of religion. Geertz defines religion as a system of symbols that shapes durable moods and motivations in human beings by formulating conceptions of a general order of existence and clothing these conceptions with an aura of factuality, thereby linking a religious worldview to a religious ethos. This analysis argues that Geertz's theory constitutes a major turning point in the anthropology of religion by placing meaning, rather than social function or psychological need, at the centre of religious phenomena. At the same time, the theory has been criticised for being overly descriptive, for neglecting questions of power, and for paying insufficient attention to historical change. The paper concludes that Geertz's interpretive approach remains valuable for understanding religion as a cultural system, particularly when read alongside contemporary critical perspectives on power, history, and discourse

Abstract

This article examines the concept of “lived religion” as developed in Susan Crawford Sullivan’s Living Faith: Everyday Religion and Mothers in Poverty. The study focuses on how religion is practiced in the everyday lives of low-income mothers in the United States. Drawing on Sullivan’s qualitative-ethnographic study, the article shows that religion for these women does not depend primarily on institutional participation but is sustained instead through personal, flexible, and context-sensitive practice. The article analyzes Sullivan’s principal findings and assesses her contribution to the sociology of religion, arguing that religion functions simultaneously as a coping mechanism, a source of meaning, and a resource for moral negotiation under conditions of structural constraint. The discussion closes by considering the concept’s relevance for contemporary religious studies more broadly, including its potential application to Islam as a discursive tradition.
