BEYOND DOCTRINE: THE NORMATIVITY OF THE QUR’AN, HADITH AND SOCIAL COHESION THROUGH

This study examines the relationship between the normative principles of the Qur’an and Hadith, faith, and social cohesion from the perspective of Islamic sociological jurisprudence. This study aims to analyze how Islamic normative values can be actualized in a dynamic and pluralistic social life. The study employs a qualitative approach using library research methods. Data were obtained from the Qur’an, Hadith, books, journal articles, and relevant academic works, and were then analyzed using content analysis through the stages of identification, classification, interpretation, and synthesis. The results of the study indicate that faith, from the perspective of the Qur’an and Hadith, does not stop at belief alone but has social consequences through justice, brotherhood, ta‘āwun, compassion, and respect for others. These values contribute to the formation of trust, solidarity, conflict reduction, and social harmony. The perspective of Islamic sociological jurisprudence bridges the normativity of revelation with social reality through a focus on “living law” and the public interest. Thus, faith can be understood not only as a theological doctrine but also as a social force capable of supporting the formation of social cohesion in a pluralistic society.
