Abstract

Contemporary hadith studies demonstrate a shift from purely textual approaches toward contextual understandings that view the Prophet Muhammad’s Sunnah as a living tradition within Muslim social practices. One of the emerging approaches is the study of living sunnah or living hadith, which considers the Sunnah not only as a normative text but also as religious traditions, behaviors, and practices continuously observed by Muslim communities. This article aims to examine the theoretical concept of living sunnah and to explain its applications in Muslim society, particularly in the Indonesian context. This study employs a qualitative approach through library research with a descriptive-analytical design, using primary and secondary literature related to living hadith studies. Data were collected through documentation techniques and analyzed using content analysis with descriptive and interpretative methods. The findings reveal that living sunnah is manifested in three main models: written traditions, oral traditions, and practical traditions. These models are reflected in various religious practices such as aqiqah, tahlilan, qunut in the dawn prayer, dhikr, and the tradition of hadith recitation in Islamic boarding schools. This study concludes that living sunnah demonstrates the dynamic and adaptive nature of hadith, allowing the Prophet’s teachings to remain relevant within diverse socio-cultural contexts without losing their essential Islamic values.

Abstract

Contemporary Islamic education faces serious challenges related to moral degradation, the weakening of social empathy, low self-control, and declining discipline among students, particularly in the context of globalization and digital culture. This article aims to analyze the values of character education contained in the hadith of the Prophet Muhammad through a thematic study using the perspective of living sunnah. This study employs a qualitative approach with library research, focusing on thematic (maudhu‘i) analysis of hadith related to character education. Primary data are drawn from selected prophetic hadiths and supported by secondary sources, including scholarly books and journal articles discussing living sunnah, character education, and contemporary educational issues. The data are analyzed by classifying the hadiths according to the main themes of character education and interpreting them within the framework of living sunnah. The findings indicate that the concept of living sunnah views hadith as living values that are internalized through the habituation of attitudes and behaviors. The thematic analysis reveals three core character values, such as social character and empathy, self-control, and manners and discipline, which are closely interconnected in shaping students’ moral integrity, emotional maturity, and sense of responsibility. The study concludes that character education based on living sunnah offers a relevant and contextual framework for addressing contemporary moral challenges by transforming prophetic teachings into lived ethical practices.
