Contextualization Of The Hadith Meaning About Work Ethics During The Covid-19 Pandemic

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic limits people’s mobility and causes economic decline. To cope with the problem, the government has issued the pre-employment cards but still insufficient to increase people’s incomes. This study aims to prove the contextualization of the meaning of hadith on work ethics during the pandemic using maudhū’i technique. The research is focusing on one hadith narrated by Ahmad bin Hanbal, since this hadith is the most relevant to the pandemic case. The quality of the hadith is analyzed descriptively based on the hadith book. The study found that the work ethic hadith narrated by Ahmad bin Hanbal is valid because it fulfills the continuity of his sanad and narrators 'adil and al-dlabt. The meaning contained in the hadith which is the focus of the study in this paper emphasizes the nobility of people who use their own hands and abilities to work so that they can provide a spirit for the Muslim ummah to continue working to support their families even during the Covid-19 pandemic.

What we can Learn from Covid19 Pandemic: A Zoom Lens from Islamic Viewpoint Based on Hadith

“…While existing literature on the COVID-19 pandemic encompasses a broad spectrum of perspectives and analyses, there remains a notable gap in scholarly inquiry regarding the specific insights Islamic teachings, particularly those derived from Hadith literature, can offer in understanding and responding to this global crisis. While some studies have explored the intersection of religion and health during pandemics, only some have delved deeply into the practical implications of Hadith-based principles for navigating the multifaceted challenges posed by COVID-19 (Riaz et al, 2023;Damayanti et al, 2021).…”
