MAQASID (GOALS) OF PROPHET’S SUNNAH IN BETWEEN OF NORMATIVE THEORY AND OBJECTIVITY PRACTICE: A CASE STUDY

Abstract

This study aims to explore the maqasid (goals and purposes) of the Prophet’s Sunnah
which are harmonized with some of the phenomena has occurred in Indonesia. The researcher
focuses on Maaqasid Sunnah due to the fact the Koran slogan which is always applicable all
the time and scope, it can also be extended to the hadith because of the hadith itself, which in
reality, it is an expression of the Koranic teachings which means it comes directly from the
revelation of God-Allah. Therefore, the slogan should not only be understood on the subject
of rhetorical restriction, but it should be applied in religious life, national life, and state of
existence frequently, because of the consideration of the long period and the distance between the hadith. Added with the reader space was naturally created, starting from the emergence of
Hadith until now. Then, the issues of the dark stories and dark background in the past was
familiar by society such as the hadith forgery case, which is, indirectly, it was added to the
complexity and depth of the void. According to those problems, lead the researchers to
conduct this study in order to obtain the true line. Furthermore, as a method of problemsolving to reduce the gaps is also becomes a focused of the researcher as the attempts are
really necessary to obtain the true fact. Maintaining the hadith principles and hadith's key
objectives is the solution that can be followed through two essential attempts; 1) the first is
contextualization, and 2) revitalization of the hadith message. Those ways are done in order to
expose the fundamental message of the hadith to respond to the void as well as bridge time
and space, and the second one is to apply it to the principle of ulumul hadith. Another that, the
scope of this analysis is not only focused on studying the reconstruction of hadith
interpretations but also provides details on how to create meaning and apply the principle of
contextualization of the hadith's message. Moreover, this study of how to explain the
contextualization of the hadith with the context of contemporary Indonesia by reinterpreting
and reproducing the meanings of two phenomena; 1) the convergence of the Hijri calendar in
Indonesia, and 2) the interpretation of the bridegroom's sighat ta'liq are also became the focus
on this study.
