Sunnah Nabawiah merupakan sumber autoriti kedua di dalam Islam selepas al-Quran al-Karim. Melalui sunnah, al-Quran dapat difahami dengan lebih jelas sesuai dengan peranan Nabi SAW sebagai pembawa risalah Allah SWT. Cabaran semasa kini adalah usaha untuk mempertahankan sunnah sebagai sumber autoriti kedua tersebut amatlah mendesak. Pelbagai tohmahan dan penghinaan telah dilontarkan oleh golongan yang berusaha untuk mengugat keautoritian tersebut sehingga perlunya satu usaha untuk memberi kefahaman yang lebih jelas terhadap sunnah, bukan sahaja sebagai satu ilmu untuk diketahui oleh para penuntut dalam bidang pengajian Islam, tetapi keperluannya terhadap masyarakat awam dan golongan yang menentangnya. Penghasilan karikatur dan filem yang menggambarkan pelbagai gambaran salah terhadap Nabi SAW adalah di antara contoh penghinaan yang memerlukan cara penyelesaian dan tindakan wajar ke arah menghalang isu tersebut daripada berulang. Oleh yang demikian, dalam mendepani cabaran semasa yang lebih mencabar, dan keperluan untuk mempertahankan sunnah perlu distrukturkan dengan baik. Melalui kejayaan penganjuran Seminar Antarbangsa Sunnah Nabawiah: Realiti dan Cabaran Semasa (MUSNAD I) pada Julai 2011, Jabatan al-Quran dan al-Hadith, Akademi Pengajian Islam, Universiti Malaya mengorak langkah untuk menganjurkan kali kedua Seminar Antarbangsa Sunnah Nabawiah: Realiti dan Cabaran Semasa II (MUSNAD II) dengan tema Sunnah Nabawiah Mendepani Cabaran Semasa. Pemilihan tema kali ini bermatlamatkan untuk melihat peranan sunnah dalam mempertahankan dan menjawab segala penghinaan terhadap Rasulullah SAW. Diharapkan, melalui penyertaan pelbagai pihak dari pelbagai negara dapat membincangkan solusi terbaik dalam mendepani pelbagai isu berkaitan sunnah melalui kajian dan penyelidikan yang mendalam. Dengan menggunakan metode pembentangan dan perbincangan, semoga hasil kajian dan penyelidikan tersebut dapat dimanfaatkan bersama demi kemajuan ummah yang bertunjangkan sunnah junjungan.
English Version:

In Islam, the prophetic tradition comes to the second place of the authoritative source of reference after the holy Quran. Most of the Quranic ayaat which are revealed to the Prophet Muhammad saw have been clarified by the sunnah itself. The contemporary challenges to uphold sunnah as the second most reliable sources are becoming so forceful. A wide range of accusations and offenses on the prophetic tradition have been thrown by people who attempt to give threats on its authenticity and credibility. Hence, it is pertinent for us to initiate a discourse that can give explanation and clarification on this matter to all people worldwide.

The emerging of film and animation picture that purposely construe false image of the Prophet Muhammad saw is one example of the insulting issues that need to be addressed properly so as this matter will not recur again. In order to preserve the Sunnah authenticity vis-a-vis the contemporary challenges, the Dept of Quran and Sunnah Studies, APIUM has successfully organized MUSNAD I, on July last year. Again, in 2013 we are inspired to reorganize the same event for the second time under the backdrop of MUSNAD II, with the theme The Encounter of Prophetic Tradition with Current Challenges. The main theme of this seminar is viewing the role of the Prophetic tradition in prevailing over all elements that pose threats and offenses to the Prophet saw personality. It is hoped that participation from individual and representative of the institutions from Malaysia and abroad will come out with the best anticipation responses on the various issues that related to the prophetic tradition. We believe that this auspicious international event will provide an exceptional ground to the speakers and participants to share their research findings and ideas on addressing current issues with reference to the prophetic tradition. May this coming gathering provide thoughtful research findings from the presenters that shall benefit all participants in particular and the entire societies in general. Seminar ini diadakan untuk mencapai beberapa objektif berikut: 1-Mendedahkan cabaran semasa dalam usaha mendepani dan mempertahankan sunnah dari pelbagi sudut dan lapangan. 2-Memberi pendedahan dan meningkatkan kesedaran umat Islam terhadap cabaran semasa dalam sunnah Nabawiah. 3-Memelihara sunnah Nabawi melalui usaha kajian ilmiah, sumbangan tokoh dan para ahlinya. 4-Menghuraikan bentuk dan cara penyelesaian dalam menangani isu dan cabaran semasa Sunnah Nabawiah serta mengetengahkan tindakan yang sewajarnya. English Version: This seminar aims to achieve the following objectives: 1- To reveal current challenges on upholding and safeguarding the prophetic tradition in every single aspects. 2- To give exposure and raise awareness among Muslim ummah on current challenges with regard to the prophetic tradition. 3- To preserve the prophetic tradition by initiating writings of academic research and engaging participation and contribution of the scholars and experts in the hadith field.

4- Deliberate methods and approaches to address issues and current challenges pertaining to the prophetic tradition and suggest viable ways for solution.
