The Credibility Of Hadith In Political Conflicts After The 2024 Presidential Election
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.28918/religiav29i2.12511Abstract
The pre-election conflict became a post-presidential political dispute having not subsided, starting with Jokowi’s intervention in the Constitutional Court decision number 90/PUU-XXI/2023 which qualified Gibran to be Prabowo’s vice president. As a result, communication between political figures became deadlocked, and involved President Prabowo directly and even the Indonesian people through the media. No scholarly writing has attempted to break this communication deadlock through the perspective of hadith. This article seeks to reveal the credibility of hadith through its universal and specific messages, namely that hadith has the power and capability to be trusted, and can be used as a normative and practical guide to break the deadlock between the conflicting parties, by outlining the origins of the post-election conflict until the emergence of its effects specifically, because existing research has not revealed it. To analyze the communication in question, this study uses political communication theory with the content analysis method, namely analyzing the text and content of hadith and the communication of the conflicting parties and then examining the relevance of both. With the identified hadith interpretation strategy, this study shows that hadith has credibility that can normalize political disputes between political figures, among the people, and the people with the government involving the media. Some hadith credibly have universal value, and specific messages become principles and formulas needing to be implemented immediately. The hadith in question include: (1) hadith as a principle for conflicting political figures and the people; (2), specific hadith for conflicting political figures; (3) specific hadith for the people; pros and cons and especially the media; and (4), specific hadith for leaders who can soften the hearts of the people.
