Journal UlumunaUlumuna Abstract

Hadith studies in Indonesia have lagged despite hadith being the second source of Islam. The question is how Muslim scholars and Islamic social organizations have contributed to developing hadith studies in Indonesia. To answer this, library research with an analytical approach was conducted to examine their contributions. Data was gathered through a literature study, analyzing references written by Muslim scholars in Indonesia using inductive and content analysis. The result shows that the lag in hadith studies is due to the lack of attention from Muslim scholars and the limited resources of hadith. However, Hadith studies began to be experienced in the second half of the 19th Century, growing to the early 20th Century. This was, among others, driven by the purification of Islamic teachings and the critique of Orientalists who undermined hadith. In this context, Muslim scholars and Islamic social organizations in Indonesia have significantly contributed to the development of hadith studies, mainly through providing literature on hadith and its sciences. However, their approaches differ. Muslim scholars interpret hadith textually and contextually, while Islamic social organizations, except NU, primarily use a textual approach. NU, in contrast, applies both approaches in its deliberations.

Conclusion

From the above explanation, the hadith studies in Indonesia are not as old as the coming of Islam into the country.During the 17th and 18th centuries, the hadith studies in Indonesia were nascent and lagged behind the studies in fish, tasawwuf, theology, and tafsir.This is mainly due to their interest in the Islamic jurisprudence of the Shafii school of law, the lack of motivation to return to the Quran and al-hadith, and the insufficiency of hadith collection as well as experts in hadith and sciences related to it.It was not until the second half of the 19th Century that the development of hadith studies surfaced, and concerns were received from the limited Muslims, gaining momentum in the early 20th Century.This was accomplished along with the ambition of some Muslim groups to purify the teachings of Islam by ensuring the soundness of hadith they used to justify their opinions in the early twentieth Century, the polemics in using hadith between the Sunni and Shii in the 1980s, the movement of Inkar al-Sunnah and the Orientalists views that tended to reduce the value of hadith.In this context, Indonesian Muslims started to shift, at least to enrich the orientation of jurisprudence sources to hadith and Islamic jurisprudence.Furthermore, works on hadith can be classified as subordinate reading and approach to hadith widely accepted by the majority of Muslims in the world.In this context, the Muslim scholars and Islamic social organizations in Indonesia have significantly contributed to the development of hadith studies, mainly through providing literature on hadith and its sciences.However, their approaches to interpreting hadith differ.Muslim scholars interpret hadith textually and contextually, while Islamic social organizations, except NU, primarily use a textual approach.NU, in contrast, applies both approaches in its deliberations.Academics in Islamic higher education institutions have also started to promote hadith studies.Having said so, there is a need to advance the hadith studies in Indonesia further so that hadith will obtain its position as the second source only to the Quran.

Future Research

To further advance hadith studies in Indonesia, there are several directions that can be explored. Firstly, there is a need to develop more comprehensive and accessible resources on hadith, including primary hadith collections and modern technological tools. This will help address the scarcity of resources and make hadith studies more accessible to scholars and the general public. Secondly, promoting a more systematic and critical approach to hadith studies is essential. This can be achieved by encouraging scholars to engage in ijtihad, or independent reasoning, and by fostering an environment that supports innovative and critical thought. Thirdly, it is crucial to continue building the capacity of lecturers and scholars in hadith studies. This can be done through postgraduate programs, workshops, and other capacity-building initiatives. By investing in the development of human resources, Indonesia can ensure a stronger foundation for future hadith studies.
