Abstract

The khirqah is a significant element in Sufi traditions, symbolizing spiritual initiation and the transmission of esoteric knowledge. However, its origins remain debated, particularly regarding its connection to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) through Imam ‘Ali and Hasan al-Basri. Some scholars affirm this lineage, while others argue that khirqah was a later development within Sufi circles rather than a direct prophetic practice. This study employs a qualitative approach, analyzing classical Sufi literature, historical records, and hadith collections. Key hadith narrations related to the bestowal of garments, such as the Prophet (PBUH) clothing Ummu Khalid and Uwais al-Qarni receiving robes from Imam ‘Ali and Umar ibn al-Khattab, have been used to validate khirqah’s legitimacy. However, critics contend that these narrations reflect acts of generosity rather than structured initiatic bestowals. By the 14th century, khirqah evolved beyond a physical robe into a symbol of spiritual affiliation within Sufi orders (tariqas). Despite these debates, khirqah remains central to Sufi identity, signifying spiritual authority, ethical discipline, and lineage transmission. Scholars such as Ibn ‘Arabi emphasized that khirqah represents inner purification rather than merely an external garment.

Abstract

This study explores the integral role of hadith in enhancing Quranic literacy by demonstrating how prophetic traditions function as interpretive, applicative, and complementary elements to the Quranic text. Utilizing a qualitative-descriptive approach based on library research, the study examines primary Islamic sources—including classical tafsir and authenticated hadith collections—and contemporary scholarly literature. The findings show that hadith fulfills three critical functions: (1) clarifying Quranic verses through interpretive explanation (bayān al-tafsīr), (2) reinforcing Quranic commands via consistent prophetic practice (bayān al-taqrīr), and (3) providing legal elaboration on matters not explicitly addressed in the Quran (bayān al-tashrīʿ). Furthermore, hadith contextualizes revelation through the transmission of asbāb al-nuzūl and serves as the ethical embodiment of Quranic values in real life. The study concludes that integrating hadith into Quranic studies is not optional but imperative, as Quranic literacy without prophetic guidance risks remaining abstract, fragmented, and misapplied. This research affirms the necessity of hadith as a methodological, pedagogical, and spiritual anchor for meaningful engagement with the Quran.

Abstract

This article investigates the narrative of Satan’s whisper in the story of Prophet Adam by comparing its presentation in the Qur’an and the Bible. Both scriptures depict the moment of temptation as a pivotal rupture in the human-divine relationship, yet they differ significantly in narrative structure, character roles, and theological emphasis. Drawing on Julia Kristeva’s theory of intertextuality, this study explores how the Qur’anic version engages with and transforms the Biblical account through three intertextual mechanisms: excerpt, conversion, and haplology. Employing a qualitative-descriptive approach and library-based research, the analysis focuses on two key passages—Genesis 3:4–7 and Qur’an 20:120–121—to trace how symbolic elements are echoed, revised, or omitted. The findings reveal that the Qur’anic narrative repositions the temptation not as rebellion but as human vulnerability, leading not to inherited sin but to divine forgiveness and guidance. This intertextual reading affirms the Qur’an’s discursive autonomy within a shared Abrahamic symbolic field and demonstrates how intertextual theory can deepen comparative studies of sacred texts.

Abstract

The figure of the Dajjāl has long stood as a compelling yet contested subject within Islamic eschatology. While numerous ḥadīths describe his characteristics and role in the end times, scholars remain divided over whether the Dajjāl should be understood as a literal being or as a symbolic representation of deception and corruption. This study examines a selection of Prophetic traditions concerning the Dajjāl, focusing on their textual meaning and contextual interpretation within Islamic thought. Drawing upon the six canonical collections of ḥadīth (Kutub al-Sittah), the analysis explores both the literal attributes attributed to the Dajjāl—such as his one eye and false claims to divinity—and broader readings that link him to ideological, civilizational, or moral threats in history. The study finds that while classical scholars tended toward literal interpretations, modern Muslim thinkers often adopt a symbolic approach, framing the Dajjāl as a reflection of systemic injustice and spiritual misguidance. Ultimately, the article argues that the Dajjāl tradition, whether interpreted literally or metaphorically, serves as an enduring ethical warning about the dangers of falsehood, the fragility of faith, and the importance of moral discernment in times of trial.

Abstract

This study explores the ethical and theological foundations of leadership as reflected in the prophetic traditions (ḥadīth) of Islam. In light of contemporary challenges—such as moral erosion, authoritarian tendencies, and the neglect of justice in Muslim leadership—this research revisits key ḥadīth to recover the prophetic vision of governance rooted in responsibility, consultation, and public service. Employing a mawḍūʿī (thematic) approach, the study analyzes three core aspects of leadership: the obligation to establish leadership in a community, the method and ethical considerations for selecting a leader, and the moral accountability of those in power. Drawing from authentic ḥadīth collections and classical commentaries, the findings reveal that leadership in Islam is both a religious and rational imperative (farḍ kifāyah) aimed at safeguarding unity, promoting justice, and ensuring communal welfare. The prophetic model redefines leadership as a trust (amānah), where every individual—from political leaders to heads of households—is accountable for those under their care. These insights remain profoundly relevant, offering an ethical framework for leadership that transcends hierarchy and invites a return to compassionate, principled governance.

Abstract

The thematic (mawḍū‘ī) approach to hadith is a methodological framework that focuses on collecting, classifying, and analyzing prophetic traditions (ḥadīth) related to a specific theme in order to achieve a comprehensive and applicable understanding. This study employs a qualitative library research method, drawing upon primary sources such as canonical hadith collections and secondary literature in the field of ʿUlūm al-Ḥadīth. The findings indicate that the thematic hadith methodology proceeds through several systematic stages: determining the research theme, exploring key concepts and vocabulary, gathering relevant hadith through takhrīj procedures, verifying the authenticity of isnād and matn, and analyzing the content of the traditions by considering asbāb al-wurūd, linguistic dimensions, and their correlation with Qur’anic verses. Furthermore, this study highlights three major interpretive techniques in thematic hadith research: (1) textual interpretation, which emphasizes the literal meaning of the hadith as expressed in its wording; (2) intertextual interpretation, which relates hadith to other narrations or Qur’anic verses with similar meanings; and (3) contextual interpretation, which emphasizes the relevance of hadith to socio-historical realities and considerations of public benefit (maṣlaḥah). A comparative analysis of these techniques reveals that each possesses its own strengths and limitations but are methodologically complementary: textual interpretation safeguards the linguistic authenticity of hadith, intertextual interpretation ensures the coherence of Islamic teachings, and contextual interpretation strengthens the relevance of hadith in addressing contemporary issues. Therefore, integrating these approaches is essential in thematic hadith methodology to produce interpretations that are not partial but comprehensive, normative, and applicable. The study concludes that the mawḍū‘ī method holds significant epistemological value in advancing contemporary hadith studies across legal, ethical, educational, and socio-cultural domains.

Abstract

The study of intention (niyyah) in prayer constitutes one of the pivotal discourses in Islamic law that has been continuously debated throughout the history of scholarly thought. Intention, as the essence of every act of worship, not only determines the validity of the act but also serves as a measure of its spiritual value before Allah (SWT). Divergent perspectives emerge when scholars situate intention within the framework of ritual jurisprudence, particularly regarding whether it constitutes a pillar (rukn) or merely a condition (sharṭ) of prayer. The Shāfiʿī school maintains that intention is a pillar of prayer, viewing it as an intrinsic component of worship itself, whereas the Ḥanafī, Mālikī, and Ḥanbalī schools classify it as a condition for the validity of prayer, arguing that intention accompanies prayer externally, similar to the role of purification (ṭahārah). This divergence in classification is rooted in the diversity of juristic methodologies (istinbāṭ) and principles of legal theory (uṣūl al-fiqh) employed in interpreting scriptural sources, particularly the well-known prophetic tradition, “innamā al-aʿmāl bi al-niyyāt” (“actions are only judged by intentions”). This research adopts a qualitative method with a library-based approach, drawing on both classical and contemporary literature in the fields of uṣūl al-fiqh and hadith. The analysis employs a descriptive-analytical method, first outlining scholarly opinions and subsequently subjecting them to critical examination in order to ascertain the position of intention within the structure of prayer. The findings indicate that, despite differences in juristic classification, all schools unanimously agree that intention is an indispensable element of prayer. The distinction between its classification as a pillar or a condition is not contradictory; rather, it reflects the breadth of Islamic legal methodology, which ultimately enriches the intellectual tradition of fiqh. Consequently, intention retains its central role as the determinant of both the validity and the spiritual merit of worship, underscoring the importance of integrating both the outward and inward dimensions in the performance of prayer.

Abstract

This study aims to present a clear interpretation of the Ghibah (backbiting) from Islamic perspective, the verses indicating its prohibition, Causes and their treatment, how the repentance of the backbiter (At- Taubah), and the explanation of the hadith “ghibah (backbiting) is worse than zina (adultery)”. This research uses the library research method with a descriptive analytical approach, which involves collecting data,  considering Muslim scholar`s views and explanation of the hadith “ghibah (backbiting) is worse than zina (adultery)”.  The study begins by explaining the definition of Ghibah from Islamic perspective, indicating verses of its prohibition, answering the question that “Is it permissible to listen to backbiting?” followed by causes of backbiting and how their treatment, the repentance of the backbiter (tawbah of the one who backbit others), and the explanation of the hadith “ghibah (backbiting) is worse than zina (adultery)”. The results of this study can be summarized into three main points: First: From several opinions of scholars which according to researchers can representative describing the definition of ghibah, it is as according to Imam Al-Ghazali that ghibah or backbiting as mentioning your sibling in a way he would not appreciate, even verbal backbiting concerning his appearance, family, personality, deeds, words, faith and life, alongside his garments, residence and mount.  Second: Some common causes of backbiting are relieving anger, agreeing with peers and pleasing companions, the desire to elevate oneself by belittling others, joking and mockery, envy (hasad), deflecting blame or justifying oneself, excess free time and boredom, and seeking favor with superiors. Third: The hadith stating: “Backbiting is worse than adultery”, it is clear that the narration is extremely weak (da‘īf jiddan) or even fabricated (mawḍū‘), according to several well-known hadith scholars. The hadith should not be used as evidence in legal or theological rulings due to its weakness, its message aligns with Islamic moral values. It reminds believers to control their speech, seek sincere repentance, and strive to avoid sins—especially those that harm others.

Abstract

A bequest (waṣiyyah) is a noble act and a source of blessings in Islam, regarded as one of the enduring good deeds (ṣadaqah jāriyah). However, complications may arise when a bequest is made in favor of legal heirs, who already have designated shares in inheritance, including cases where the sole heir is a daughter. Such situations become contentious due to another hadith prohibiting bequests to legal heirs. This raises the question: What is the permissible extent of a bequest when the sole heir is a daughter? How should the hadith forbidding bequests to heirs be interpreted through the lens of Islamic economic jurisprudence, and what are its implications for family and community economics? This study employs a qualitative methodology using both fiqh al-ḥadīth and Islamic economic approaches. The findings reveal that a bequest is considered excessive if it exceeds one-third of the estate. The primary hadith governing this ruling is ṣaḥīḥ and included in the authoritative Kutub al-Tis‘ah. Conversely, the hadith prohibiting bequests to heirs without their consent is graded as ḥasan li-ghayrih and lacks the criteria for ṣaḥīḥ classification according to Imam al-Bukhārī, although it is transmitted through multiple chains. In cases where the sole heir is a daughter, she receives her prescribed share and may also benefit from the residual portion (ʿaṣabah) within the permissible one-third bequest. This ruling reflects the Prophetic vision to uphold justice in economic distribution and protection of vulnerable groups, such as daughters, aligning with the objectives of the Sharīʿah (maqāṣid al-sharīʿah), particularly the preservation of wealth (ḥifẓ al-māl) and lineage (ḥifẓ al-nasl). Islamic economics is founded not on socialism or capitalism, but on five core values: tawḥīd (monotheism), nubuwwah (prophethood), khilāfah (vicegerency), ʿadl (justice), and maʿād (accountability in the hereafter). Within this framework, the prohibition of bequests to heirs can be reinterpreted as an opportunity to strengthen economic stability in families and society, especially in special cases such as children with disabilities, adopted children, foster parents, and others.
