Exploring the Multifaceted Dimensions of Hadith in Contemporary Social Welfare Discourse

Abstract

The sayings of the Hazrat Muhammad ﷺ, known as Hadith, offer not only spiritual and religious guidance but also present a comprehensive framework for social welfare and collective human well-being. This study explores the diverse dimensions of social welfare as reflected in Hadith literature, including compassion, care for orphans and the needy, justice, fulfillment of social responsibilities, and mutual cooperation.

The research highlights how the teachings of Hadith remain deeply relevant in addressing contemporary societal challenges such as poverty, loneliness, unemployment, and social inequality. Despite the complexities of modern life, the simple yet profound ethical values of the Prophet’s Sunnah provide timeless principles that can contribute to building a more peaceful, just, and compassionate society.

This study aims to serve as a source of guidance for scholars, policymakers, social workers, and individuals who seek sustainable and effective solutions to modern social problems through the moral lens of Hadith.
