Kontekstualisasi Pemahaman Hadis

Abstract

Contextualization of Comprehending Prophetic Traditions (hadîth). Prophetic traditions (hadîth) which is considered as the second source of guidance for the Muslim\u27s way of life, also functions as explanatory injunction of the messages inherent in the Qur\u27an which render infinite or global meanings. The author argues that due to its detailed and operative character in explaining the meaning of the Qur\u27an so that it can be applied in the real life in accordance with time and space, hadîth has often been misunderstood without considering the context of the ever-developing life. In the present essay, the writer attempts to analyze contextual theory as an alternative theory in semantics that can be implemented in understanding the prophetic tradition
