Abstract

This article explores the journey of hadith historiography by Nusantara scholars, which is an important element in the understanding and development of Islam in the region. Using a historical approach and textual analysis, this study reveals how Nusantara scholars understood, narrated, and integrated hadith in a unique local context. The study begins with the historical background of the arrival of Islam in Nusantara, followed by the development of hadith studies brought by early scholars. In this article, it is emphasized how the process of adaptation and integration of hadith with local culture not only enriched the context of Nusantara Islam but also showed the uniqueness of hadith interpretation and application that differs from Islamic traditions elsewhere. Through textual analysis of various books by Nusantara scholars, this study highlights their methodology in verifying and narrating hadith, as well as its influence on the formation of Islamic identity in the region. This article also discusses the challenges and controversies faced by Nusantara scholars in their efforts to maintain the sanctity of hadith amidst changing social and cultural dynamics. Thus, this study provides insight into the significant contribution of Nusantara scholars to hadith historiography and their role in enriching global Islamic discourse.

Abstract

In general, the Qur'an is defined as a book containing a collection of Allah's words, a miracle revealed to the Prophet Muhammad. The creation of the universe has been explained in the Qur'an with various natural phenomena that are shown to be strong factors to show that this universe has a creator and cannot stand alone. Then, cosmology is a branch of metaphysics, namely as a science that investigates and studies the cosmos (universe) which is usually defined as everything other than God Almighty. This study uses a library research design that aims to obtain information and integrate science and Islam. From these opinions, we can take the understanding that cosmology is the initial theory of the creation of the universe, who created it, when it was created, how the process was and so on. There are several famous theories in the creation of the universe, such as the big bang theory, the steady state theory, the oscillation theory and the balloon theory. Islam and science are two aspects that are always related, the emergence of the discipline of cosmology in natural science as a result of philosophical questions about the creation of the universe. Islam, with its book of guidance, is able to answer and provide a solution to the curiosity of people who question the creation of the universe.
