Drawing upon both classical hermeneutical theory and local wisdom, this study argues that <em>Tafsir Nusantara</em> is not merely a cultural phenomenon but a dynamic intellectual paradigm capable of addressing modern issues such as pluralism, radicalism, and globalization. Through analytical comparison between traditional works like <em>Tafsir al-Ibriz</em> and modern commentaries such as <em>Tafsir al-Mishbah</em>, the paper explores how Indonesian scholars integrate universal Islamic values with indigenous ethics. It concludes that <em>Tafsir Nusantara</em> provides an inclusive and dialogical model of interpretation that strengthens Indonesia’s national identity while promoting moderate Islamic thought.</p> M.

The research argues that <em>Living Hadith</em>—the study of how prophetic traditions (<em>hadith</em>) are lived, interpreted, and practiced within Muslim societies—requires methodological pluralism to capture its textual depth and social dynamism. Drawing from ethnographic data and textual analyses of <em>Living Hadith</em> practices in Indonesia, including ritual recitations, communal commemorations (<em>maulid</em>), and everyday religious expressions, this study reveals how lived interpretations of hadith transform scriptural authority into cultural performance. By integrating textual hermeneutics with anthropological fieldwork and sociological analysis, the paper demonstrates how <em>Living Hadith</em> functions as both a moral discourse and a social institution that shapes Muslim identity. The findings highlight that interdisciplinarity is not merely an academic method but an epistemological necessity for understanding the social life of hadith. Through Indonesian case studies—particularly from Java, Aceh, and Minangkabau—the article offers a model for future <em>Living Hadith</em> research that combines textual fidelity with ethnographic insight and sociological theory.</p> Muh Syaifudin Izzatus Sholihah Copyright (c) 2025 IAI Badrus Sholeh Kediri http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 2025-06-14 2025-06-14 9 1 10 17
