Sukatan Pelajaran Syariah STPMPenggal Ketiga: TakhrījDan AnalisisHadis

This study aims to examine the status of ḥadīths included in the Third-Term Syariah subject syllabus for the Malaysian Higher School Certificate (STPM). The inclusion of ḥadīths in educational syllabi requires critical verification, especially when such texts serve as primary references for thousands of students nationwide. Employing a qualitative research approach, this study utilises document analysis, inductive reasoning, content analysis, and the method of takhrīj al-ḥadīth. Twelve ḥadīths listed in theSTPM Syariah syllabus were extracted and analysed using the method of takhrīj al-ḥadīth. The results reveal that 75% of the ḥadīths are ṣaḥī ḥ, while 25% fall under the problematic categories. This finding demonstrates that not all ḥadīths presented in the syllabus meet the minimum standards of acceptability within the ḥadīth sciences. Furthermore, the presence of weak ḥadīths in educational materials may influence the formation of religious understanding among students and the public. The study recommends a comprehensive ḥadīth verification initiative across educational references to ensure only reliable narrations are used. It also advocates replacing problematic ḥadīths with sound alternatives available in established ḥadīth compilations. This research contributes to the field of ḥadīth studies by highlighting the importance of careful selection of narrations in contemporary Islamic education. The outcome of this study provides a foundation for further efforts to strengthen the authenticity of Islamic knowledge within Malaysia’s national education system
