Abstract

This study is motivated by the growing phenomenon of religious content dissemination, including hadith, through social media platforms such as Instagram. Although hadiths concerning istimnā’ (masturbation) are frequently cited in online religious discourse, there remains a research gap regarding how digital audiences interpret and respond to such religious texts. Addressing this gap, the present study seeks to answer two main questions: how do netizens receive the hadith on istimnā’ posted on the Instagram account @surgadakwahofc, and what factors influence the diversity of their reception? A qualitative approach was employed using content analysis of netizen comments on posts containing the hadith that prohibits deviant sexual behavior. Stuart Hall’s reception theory served as the analytical framework for identifying audience positions in decoding the religious message, namely, dominant-hegemonic, negotiated, and oppositional readings. The findings reveal that netizen reception is highly diverse and dynamic; some accept the hadith’s meaning textually, others negotiate it according to social context and personal experience, while a few reject it based on rational or modern moral reasoning. This diversity is influenced by social background, level of religious understanding, and individual value orientation. So, the hadith interpretation on social media is a dialogical process involving the interplay between text, context, and audience experience.

Abstract

The difference between today’s social reality and the historical context in which the hadith emerged necessitates a reinterpretation of several texts that are not always consistent with the dynamics of modern society. This need for adjustment has given rise to a liberal-rejectionist approach that seeks to interpret the hadith in a more historical, rational, and contextual manner, particularly with respect to issues of justice, gender bias, and universal human values. Although more relevant to contemporary society, this approach still raises methodological and epistemological issues related to the authority of the hadith and the limits of reinterpretation. In this context, this study formulates two main foci: first, how the concepts and practices of the liberal-rejectionist approach are understood in hadith studies; and second, the epistemological and social impacts of this approach on the authority of hadith and on the religious practices of Muslims. This study employs a systematic literature review following PRISMA guidelines, covering the stages of searching, selecting, extracting, and analyzing 33 scientific articles published between 2015 and 2025. The analysis employed a qualitative thematic approach to explore the conceptual, methodological, and social impact patterns that emerged in the literature. The results show that the liberal-rejectionist approach arose from the need to respond to several hadiths deemed incompatible with developments in social reality, particularly those concerning gender issues, human rights, and social justice. This approach presents a more historical and contextual reading, thereby bridging the gap between the text and changing realities. This approach is manifested in the reinterpretation, recontextualization, and rejection of certain hadiths, with attention to potential narratorial bias and the socio-historical context. These findings reveal a shift in perspective on the authority of hadith and have sparked debate between progressives and traditionalists over the legitimacy of this approach.
The Digital Religious Narratives: Psychological Analysis of al-Najā’ib (Heavenly Conveyances) Hadith in @alqariomarali Instagram Account: Narasi Keagamaan Digital: Analisis Psikologis terhadap Hadits tentang al-Najā’ib (Kendaraan Surga) di Akun Instagram @alqariomarali Anna Nurfitroh; Murtini, Nurul Budi; Abdullah, Akhmad Fahrisan Luthfi

Abstract

The narrative concerning al-Najā’ib (heavenly conveyances) presented by the Instagram account @alqariomarali has triggered a complex discussion. Beyond the validity as a fundamental aspect of hadith studies, the psychological dimension emerging through the comments of the digital public (the audience) further reveals the significant complexity of hadith discourse within digital spaces. However, the scarcity of sources that elucidate this specific discourse presents a primary challenge in comprehending the intricacies involved. In this context, two questions form the starting point of the study: First, how does the hadith about al-Najā’ib engage with Muslim society within the digital space of Instagram? Second, what are the psychological implications of the al-Najā’ib religious narrative for Muslim society? Employing a descriptive-analytical approach based on library research, this study combines methodological verification from the science of hadith with the theories of Emotional Contagion and Collective Effervescence to analyze the dissemination of religious emotion within online communities. The findings indicate that, although the hadith is classified as dha’īf, its propagation on Instagram forms a kind of “virtual majelis dzikir” that has the potential to foster positive emotions, social cohesion, and serious motivation for worship among the digital populace. Nevertheless, to maintain a dynamic of critical discourse toward religious narratives, strengthening literacy is essential to support religious outreach that is simultaneously empathetic and critically engaged with source validity.

Abstract

The global reality, characterized by numerous transformations across various fields, including education, appears to be inversely proportional to the quality of educational outputs. Paradoxically, the educational process conducted by the Prophet Muhammad, despite its contextual limitations, successfully established an exemplary educational model, culminating in the emergence of the finest generation in Islamic history. Arising from this observation, this research aims to examine the pedagogical practices of the Prophet Muhammad as a foundational framework for modern Islamic education, with a specific focus on the educational media he employed. The study is guided by two primary research questions: first, how do the pedagogical practices of the Prophet serve as a basis for constructing modern education? Second, what is the relationship between the Prophet’s educational model and modern education in fostering spiritual embodiment and meaning-making? These questions are investigated and analyzed using a descriptive-analytical approach based on library research. The findings indicate that the fundamental framework of the Prophet’s pedagogical practice was underpinned by his exemplarity and a worldview that each individual should be balanced. This framework was operationalized through three integrated forms of learning media: textual (through reading, writing, and memorization), demonstrative, and critical thinking. Each of these forms possesses distinct benefits and objectives, yet they function synergistically, reinforcing one another within a holistic system. Consequently, the Prophetic pedagogical practice does not rely solely on the verbal transmission of concepts. It comprehensively incorporates experiential learning, moral exemplarity, a deep understanding of learners, and an emotional approach that simultaneously engages students’ cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains.

Abstract

More than just a daily activity, sleep holds many benefits for the body. This is shown by the hadith of the Prophet, particularly those related to sleep under certain conditions, such as the recommendation to turn off the lights. Furthermore, the research examines two problem formulations: first, how is the Prophet Muhammad's hadith about turning off the lights when sleeping interpreted from the perspective of maqāṣid al-syarī’ah and its relevance to modern scientific findings on sleep quality; and second, to what extent can the integration of hadith studies and contemporary scientific findings strengthen a holistic understanding of healthy sleeping practices? This study uses a systematic literature review with a PICO framework to formulate research questions clearly and purposefully for scientific and quasi-qualitative hadith studies, employing library research and thematic analysis of hadith. The findings of the study show that the hadith’s recommendation to turn off the lights when sleeping reflects the principle of maqāṣid al-syarī’ah, specifically the protection of life (hifz al-nafs), which is scientifically in line with scientific findings that darkness improves sleep quality through the regulation of circadian rhythms and melatonin production.

Abstract

The post-truth era and the proliferation of hoaxes on social media exploiting religious texts have posed significant epistemological challenges within Muslim societies. The concept of Naqd al-Ḥadīṡ (Hadith criticism) has provided methodological inspiration as a framework for verifying the authenticity of information. Interestingly, there are indications of shared principles between information verification in the contemporary era and Naqd al-Ḥadīṡ, thereby enabling the methodological adoption within a critical literacy framework to counter digital disinformation. Arising from this reality, this study aims to examine two research problems: first, what are the methodological intersections between hadith verification methods and contemporary information verification? Second, how does the ISNAD-DIG model operate in verifying information that leads to religious narratives? Through a qualitative approach based on library research, reinforced by philosophical analysis grounded in coherence, correspondence, and pragmatism, the findings indicate that the principles of Naqd al-Ḥadīṡ—built upon Ittiṣāl al-sanad, Jarḥ wa ta‘dīl, matn criticism, Takhrīj, and authenticity assessment—align with the principles of Identify, Source Appraisal, Narrative Check, Authoritative Cross-Check, and Disposition in the ISNAD-DIG framework. Moreover, the implementational dimension of this model in the case of digital religious content demonstrates its effectiveness in identifying epistemic weaknesses, such as the absence of traceable sources, low credibility, and the lack of authoritative references. These findings affirm that Naqd al-Ḥadīṡ can be operationally adapted as a foundation for strengthening digital literacy and fostering a culture of critical thinking in the digital age.

Abstract

While orphan almsgiving is articulated in the hadith as a matter of individual religious conduct, it is reappropriated by the community of Sendang Agung Village as a collective and organized social action. This transformation, however, has received insufficient attention, particularly regarding the mechanisms of reception, institutionalization, and gift relations underlying it. This article examines the phenomenon as a manifestation of Living Hadith constitutive of moral solidarity within rural Muslim communities, with particular attention to the reception, institutionalization, and expression of gift relations embedded in the tradition. The study, methodologically, adopts a qualitative field research design, employing participant observation, in-depth interviews with religious leaders, mosque administrators, donors, committee members, and orphan beneficiaries, and documentary analysis of relevant hadith literature, with the Living Hadith framework and Berger and Luckmann’s theory of social construction and Mauss’s theory of gift-giving as the principal analytical lenses. The findings demonstrate that orphan almsgiving constitutes not merely an act of transient philanthropy but a locally institutionalized form of hadith reception. Through the successive processes of externalization, objectivation, and internalization, the prophetic value of concern for orphans is rendered into an enduring annual social practice. Through the theory of gift-giving, this practice engenders symbolic reciprocity, safeguards the dignity of orphan recipients, and reinforces the moral identity of the village community.

Abstract

Living hadis studies have shifted the focus of hadith scholarship from textual work to the reading of socio-religious practices. This shift is important because hadith is not only present as reports preserved in books, but also moves through traditions, rituals, communal actions, religious authority, digital media, and the collective memory of Muslim communities. However, the expansion of this field has generated conceptual and methodological problems. In several studies, the term living hadis is used too loosely to name religious practices without adequately explaining the relationship between hadith texts, transmission agents, social practices, and practitioners’ meanings. This article addresses three main issues: conceptual problems in the use of the term living hadis; distinctions between living hadis, living sunnah, living fiqh, living Qur’an or Qur’anic practices, sīrah–Maulid–Prophetic praise traditions, and local Islamic traditions; and a methodological model for examining the relationship between texts, practices, transmission agents, and social reception. Through a critical literature review and conceptual analysis, the article shows that an analytical category should be determined by the dominant object of reception and source of authority, rather than solely by the label used in previous studies. Living hadis is therefore more appropriately positioned as a study of hadith reception, rather than as normative legitimation of tradition. Its analysis proceeds through the identification of social practices, examination of hadith claims, textual validation, mapping of transmission agents, analysis of social reception, practical transformation, and category evaluation. This framework keeps living hadis within the field of hadith studies without losing its social sensitivity.

Abstract

Studies of living hadith have largely emphasized local rituals and community-based religious practice, leaving the role of platform algorithms, digital authority, and audience participation in shaping hadith transmission underexplored. This article addresses that gap by examining how hadith is lived through algorithmic mediation among young Indonesian Muslims. Using a qualitative approach based on netnography of hadith-based content on TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, the study investigates: (1) how the form and circulation of hadith transform within algorithmic media; (2) how religious authority is negotiated among digital preachers, da'wah influencers, and audiences; and (3) how young Muslims receive, negotiate, and practice hadith encountered on social media. Findings show hadith undergoing an epistemic shift into concise, visual, emotionally resonant content whose visibility algorithms shape more than chains of transmission do. Religious authority becomes increasingly distributed, negotiated through communicative closeness and engagement metrics, at times in tension with sanad-based legitimacy. This mediation shapes youth piety through improved worship, hijrah, and everyday moral conduct, while exposing hadith to the risk of decontextualization. The article proposes algorithmic living hadith as a framework that extends living hadith studies into the digital-algorithmic space, contributing to digital religion scholarship by positioning algorithms as active mediators of religious meaning.

Abstract

Classical hadith science has undergone relatively little development among Muslim Scholars, having come to be regarded as fully established and final (naḍīja wa iḥtaraqa). This stagnation was presented by Ibn Najīm and exists in the hadith science literature of the period. By contrast, Western scholarship has advanced considerably in methodology, theory, application, and historical analysis. This study addresses two questions. First, it maps classical and medieval hadith science through its phases of formalization and reformulation, before the emergence of Orientalism. Second, it examines how Western scholars’ falsification of hadith studies—both revisionist and traditionalist—might revive the field, including through critical engagement with formalization and continued reformulation via re-examination of existing theories. Using a historiographical approach to hadith literature from the 4th/10th to 14th/mid-20th–15th/21st centuries, and drawing on al-Jābirī’s theory of waṣl (continuity) and faṣl (rupture) alongside Popper’s falsification, findings show that hadith science is ijtihādī, developing, stagnating, and redeveloping. Formalization around al-Bukhārī’s standard led to misjudgments of traditions predating him or originating outside the Mashriq; Reformulations offered a little clear line of demarcation between multiple standards that are not standardized; and Western falsificationist critique has made hadith science more open, accommodating, and rigorous than formalized standards alone.
