Abstract

Muslim women have been acknowledged for their huge contributions in building community, serving society, and promoting peace as reported in Hadith literature and Sīrah Nabawiyyah. This study aims to highlight related Hadiths concerning women and their roles in promoting peace, particularly from two authentic Hadith collections: Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhāri and Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim. This study also intends to present ontology visualisation of the collected Hadiths concerning women and peace. It focuses on how the Hadith describes the concept of peace in relation to women, and how women can practice her rights in building and maintaining peace. As a qualitative study, there are different approaches applied in determining the relationship between women and peace. First, gathering Hadiths into several themes related to peace by applying the thematic approach. Second, is the ontological mapping approach which aims in building and exhibit the relationship between women and peace, from the Hadith perspective. Third, an analytical approach is applied in order to analyze historical, logical, and contextual aspects of the related Hadiths. The finding shows that though the number of Hadiths concerning women and peace might be limited, those related Hadiths give a massive impact, particularly on women, and all mankind.
