EASTERN MADRASAS AND HADITH

Abstract

Throughout Islamic history, science and centers of knowledge have always been in demand. The first science whose method and procedure were systematized in terms of science is Hadith and its methodology. Hadiths have been transmitted to subsequent generations as oral and written materials, starting from the first generation of the Companions. The transmitted hadiths have been systematized, compiled and classified as a result of meticulous and diligent studies. The hadiths compiled since the early periods of Islam have been studied and memorized in different times and places. At the forefront of these places are undoubtedly the madrasahs, which are among the founding elements of Islamic civilization. Although madrasahs have various functions, they have undertaken the duties of preserving, memorizing and defending the transmitted sciences in particular. Numerous large and small madrasahs have been established throughout history in the Islamic world. One of these established madrasahs is the Eastern Madrasahs, which are located within the borders of our country and have met the scientific needs of the region in which they are located throughout history. In this study, the relationship between Eastern madrasahs and hadith and the place and importance of hadith in Eastern madrasahs is emphasized. In addition, the mastery of hadith and the methodology of hadith by the lecturers and their perspectives on hadith in today's world are discussed. In addition, the works written by regional scholars and lecturers on hadith and the methodology of hadith are briefly introduced.
