FUDA | Wednesday (14/09/2023) - UIN Sultan Maulana Hasanuddin Banten's Hadith Science Study Program is set to be the organizer of the Hadith Science Lecturer Association (ASILHA) meeting activities in 2024. This is based on the results of the ASILHA International Conference and Annual Meeting 2023 which was held at Sindangpalay Karangpawitan Garut on Wednesday to Friday (September 13-5, 2023).
The handover was marked by the handover of the ASILHA flag from the chairman of the organizing committee to the Head of the Hadith Science Department of UIN Banten, Muhammad Alif, S.Ag., M.Si. in the event. Delivered by Gun Gun Abdul Basit, the universities that came to the Annual Conference in 2023 were attended by 23 Islamic Higher Education Campuses from various provinces.
“We feel grateful and honored that STAI Persis Garut is the organizer for this year, and it turns out that more than 90 people attended from the Higher Education delegation.” said the chief executive.
While from the delegation of UIN Banten itself including Dr. Sholahuddin Al Ayyubi, M.A. (Vice Dean I FUDA), Dr. Endad Musaddad, M.Ag., (Dean of the Faculty of Da'wah), Muhammad Alif, S.Ag., M.Si. (Head of Hadith Science Study Program), Salim Rosyadi, M.Ag. (Secretary of Hadith Science) and representatives of Hadith Science lecturers, namely Dr. Andi Rosa, M.A..
On that occasion, Chairman of STAI Garut Maman Supena said that this meeting was part of the practice of the Prophet's legacy, namely the Qur'an and Hadith, where the lecturers of Hadith Science are the guardians of these two legacies to be spread among the people.
“We need to preserve and maintain these two legacies in the form of studies conducted by people who understand and understand the Qur'an and Sunnah, ASILHA is one of the holders of this legacy,” he explained.
Meanwhile, ASILHA Chairman Moh. Anton Athoillah explained, the theme carried out in this activity was hadith, turath and Modern Scientific Civilization. The theme was raised with the hope that in this era of disruption, hadith must be able to adapt to the modern scientific environment, where hadith can become a foundation in the scientific treasury of science that is integrated-interconnected in scientific findings.
“The position of Hadith Science Study Program and Hadith courses or ulumul hadith, in Islamic Religious Universities has a strategic place, because in every general course will get the course, including in general faculties such as science. So that the results of this become a formulation that is substantively how these traditions can be enjoyed in the general study program that is tailored to their scientific needs, so that it becomes a paradigm and basis for developing integrative hadith science.” He said.
The activity will be closed on Friday, September 15, 2023. Hopefully next year's ASILHA meeting in Banten will leave a lasting impression and spirit of unity.
