Prophetic traditions (hadîth) which is considered as the second source of guidance for the Muslim’s way of life, also functions as explanatory injunction of the inherent messages in the Qur’an which render infinite or global meanings. The author argues that due to its detailed and operative character in explaining the meaning of the Qur’an so that it can be applied in the real life in accordance with time and space, hadîth has often been misunderstood without considering the context of the ever-developing life. In this article, the writer attempts to analyze the contextual theory as an alternative theory in semantics that can be implemented in understanding the prophetic tradition.indWith permission of the license/copyright holdercomprehending hadithdalâlahmatanReligious ethicsSpirituality and ethicsMethods of ethicsPhilosophical ethicsCommunity ethicsSocial ethicsSexual orientation/genderJournal volume
