Abstract

This study examines the urgency of preventing noise pollution in maintaining Social stability from the perspective of the Prophet’s ḥadīth. Employing a qualitative library-based approach, this research utilizes thematic (mawḍū‘ī) ḥadīth analysis combined with Critical Discourse Analysis to interpret normative texts within contemporary social contexts. The deductive method is applied to relate textual findings to broader theoretical frameworks. Unlike existing studies on Islam and the environment that predominantly focus on ecological preservation in general terms, this research specifically addresses noise pollution as a distinct socio-environmental issue and positions it within the discourse of ḥadīth and social stability. The study offers a theoretical contribution by constructing an integrative framework that connects Prophetic teachings with the concept of social security through the lens of Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah. The findings demonstrate that noise control in the ḥadīth tradition is not merely an ethical recommendation but a structured normative principle aimed at preserving social order. In the Maqāṣid framework, preventing noise pollution directly correlates with ḥifẓ al-nafs, as excessive noise contributes to stress and physiological harm, and ḥifẓ al-ʿaql, as it disrupts concentration, cognition, and emotional stability. Furthermore, it supports ḥifẓ al-dīn by ensuring the proper observance of worship without disturbance. Thus, this study argues that tranquility, as emphasized in the ḥadīth, constitutes a foundational element of social security. By framing noise regulation within a maqāṣid-oriented perspective, this research demonstrates that Prophetic teachings provide not only moral guidance but also an analytical and applicable framework for addressing contemporary challenges of environmental and social stability.
