| description | This article examines the complex relationship between scientific advances and the
interpretation/commentary of hadith, or the sayings and actions of Prophet
Muhammad in Islam. The historical context of hadith commentaries is investigated, with
a focus on the evolution of interpretive traditions from simple explanations to
comprehensive works. The research ultimately focuses on the paradigm shift in hadith
commentary influenced by early modern reformist orientations that sought to reconcile
Islamic teachings with contemporary scientific knowledge. A case study examines the
emergence of scientific interpretation by analysing a hadith from Sahih Muslim in light
of modern scientific understanding. The article discusses the difficulties and
controversies surrounding the integration of scientific data into hadith commentaries,
emphasizing the dynamic nature of science as well as the distinct epistemological
origins of hadith and science. It concludes by proposing a dynamic approach to the study
of hadith and its commentaries, allowing for the re-evaluation of approaches in light of
evolving scientific knowledge. |
