Abstract

This article explores the relationship between New Modernism and the Sunnah within contemporary Islamic thought. New Modernism represents a recent wave of reformist interpretations among Muslim intellectuals, seeking to reconcile Islamic tradition with modern values such as human rights, democracy, and rationality. The study investigates how New Modernist thinkers reinterpret the Sunnah not merely as a rigid set of traditions, but as a dynamic source of ethical guidance rooted in the Prophet Muhammad’s historical context. Utilizing a qualitative approach, this research analyzes key figures and texts associated with New Modernism, including the works of reformists from the late 20th to 21st century. It argues that New Modernism offers a contextual and humanistic reading of the Sunnah, emphasizing its moral objectives rather than literal applications. This shift challenges classical hermeneutics and calls for a renewal of Islamic jurisprudence grounded in maqasid al-shari‘ah (the higher objectives of Islamic law). The article concludes that the New Modernist approach to the Sunnah can contribute significantly to contemporary Islamic discourse, especially in addressing global ethical challenges.

Abstract

Natural disasters are phenomena that have consistently appeared throughout human history and have often generated diverse theological interpretations within society. Disasters are frequently understood in a fatalistic manner or solely associated with divine wrath, thereby neglecting the dimensions of wisdom and human responsibility. This article aims to examine the concept of disaster as sunnatullah (divine law) from the perspective of the Prophet’s hadiths, particularly within the framework of divine decree (qaḍā’ and qadar). This study employs a qualitative library-based method using a thematic (maudhu‘i) hadith approach, involving the identification, classification, and analysis of hadiths related to calamities, trials, and God’s decree. The findings indicate that the Prophet’s hadiths position disasters as part of sunnatullah, rich in meaning as tests of faith, means of expiating sins, and instruments of spiritual education for humanity. These hadiths also emphasize a balance between divine decree and human effort (ikhtiar), thereby rejecting passive fatalistic understandings. Understanding disasters as sunnatullah in the hadith literature has implications for strengthening patience, promoting active trust in God (tawakkul), and fostering social responsibility in responding to disasters. Accordingly, this study is expected to contribute both theologically and practically to the development of a more contextual, humanistic, and relevant understanding of hadith in relation to contemporary disaster realities.
