SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW ON THE ONTOLOGY REPRESENTATION RELATED THE HADITH CORPUS

Abstract

Studies on hadith have received a lot of attention since, for Muslims, they serve as a secondary source to the Quran. Although the sanad is a primary area of interest in hadith study, understanding the hadith's content requires knowledge of its matan as well. Ontology, one of the philosophical sciences of knowing, is a study that refers to the reality being investigated. According to this paradigm's ontology, the hadith text is centred and in a normative state. Researchers have attempted to construct ontology based on Islamic knowledge including the Quran, hadith, and others after realising that ontology can reflect a clear form of knowledge or repository that is standard and straightforward. The purpose of this article is to conduct an organised review of the literature on the conception of ontology and hadith corpus. The PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis) paradigm was followed during the systematic literature review (SLR) authoring process. By making use of earlier studies, this work adds knowledge and a clear understanding to the conception of ontology and the hadith corpus.
