Kuala Lumpur to Host International Seminar on the Prophetic Tradition
International Seminar on “Prophetic Tradition: Reality And Contemporary Challenges” is going to be held at Academy of Islamic Studies, University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur on July 3-4, 2013.
Under the theme of “The Encounter of Prophetic Tradition with Contemporary Challenges”, The Seminar is organised by Department of al-Quran and al-Hadith Studies and Academy of Islamic Studies, University of Malaya.
The above theme will cover the following sub-topics: Contemporary challenges to uphold the Prophet [PBUH] personality, Contemporary challenges to preserve hadith through Literature and Textual Studies, Contemporary challenges to the Hadith Scholars in order defense the Prophetic tradition and Contemporary Challenges to the institution and nation in upholding the Sunnah.
In Islam, the prophetic tradition comes to the second place of the authoritative source of reference after the holy Quran. Most of the Quranic ayaat which are revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) have been clarified by the sunnah itself. The contemporary challenges to uphold sunnah as the second most reliable sources are becoming so forceful. A wide range of accusations and offenses on the prophetic tradition have been thrown by people who attempt to give threats on its authenticity and credibility. Hence, it is pertinent for us to initiate a discourse that can give explanation and clarification on this matter to all people worldwide.
The emerging of film and animation picture that purposely construe false image of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is one example of the insulting issues that need to be addressed properly so as this matter will not recur again.
In order to preserve the Sunnah authenticity vis-a-vis the contemporary challenges, the Dept of Quran and Sunnah Studies, APIUM has successfully organized the first round of this conference, on July last year and is going to hold it again this year.
The main theme of this seminar is viewing the role of the Prophetic tradition in prevailing over all elements that pose threats and offenses to the Prophet (PBUH) personality. It is hoped that participation from individual and representative of the institutions from Malaysia and abroad will come out with the best anticipation responses on the various issues that related to the prophetic tradition. We believe that this auspicious international event will provide an exceptional ground to the speakers and participants to share their research findings and ideas on addressing current issues with reference to the prophetic tradition. May this coming gathering provide thoughtful research findings from the presenters that shall benefit all participants in particular and the entire societies in general.
