PEMIKIRAN MAHMUD YUNUS TENTANG HADIS ETIKA DAN KONTRIBUSINYA TERHADAP PERKEMBANGAN KAJIAN HADIS DI INDONESIA

Abstract

This paper is a socio-historical study of Mahmud Yunus's contribution on hadith studies in Indonesia, especially about ethical hadith. The study of hadith in Islamic history actually began after Muhammad designation as messenger of God, Allah Ta’ala. So at that time the transmission of the prophetic traditions is also started. By the times, Islam had been increasingly widespread, and it also has an impact on the development of hadith studies, riwaya as well as diraya. Shortly explained, hadith studies also started to enter Indonesia and became important part of interests for Indonesian Moslem scholars to be disscused. One of them who paid much attention and had high contributions on it is Mahmud Yunus. Since he wrote first book of Musthalah Hadith in Indonesian language with his partner Mahmud Aziz, namely ‘Ilm Musthalah Hadith. The discussion of Mahmud Yunus's thought on Hadith becomes more interesting because of his experties is not on hadith. It was Islamic Education. But once again, what Mahmud Yunus has contributed on history of the hadith studies development in Indonesia certainly cannot be underestimated.
