Establishing a Harmonious Society: The Approach of Sahih Bukhari Hadith in Addressing Socio-Political Issues in Malaysia
Abstract
ABSTRACT
Malaysia is a country with a socio-political landscape that consists of various religions and races. The socio-politics of the country often experience tensions and face multiple challenges in managing social pluralism. Among the issues that arise when dealing with the challenges of diversity in society include prejudice between races, ethnic identities that hinder unity, and differences in thoughts, beliefs, and habits among races. This situation calls for an alternative approach to building a society that can foster harmony, peace, and positive interaction among the different races, religions, cultures, and ethnicities. The achievements to create a pluralistic society must be based on elements such as political stability, community cohesion, and national harmony. This study utilised a qualitative method by examining data and analyzing documents, including observations on current issues in socio-politics. The primary data for this study is derived from the book Sahih Bukhari. The objective of the study was to analyze the solutions for building a pluralistic society from the perspective of Sahih Bukhari hadith and apply the values of social justice, harmony, political stability, and social cohesion in a pluralistic society. The results of the study revealed that the Sahih Bukhari hadith contains comprehensive guidance to inculcate values such as social justice, harmony, stability, and social cohesion, which ensure the formation of the Malaysian nation-state. The study’s implications show that Sahih Bukhari’s hadith is a source of reference for formulating policies and strategies to address socio-political issues in Malaysia. The values contained in the Hadith Sahih al-Bukhari contribute to the formation of a more harmonious and united society.
