Abstract

The large amount of classic books needs to be explored during the activity in studying the Science of Hadith. In brief, Science of Hadith is a study related to the knowledge about Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in Islamic believe. The main aim of the study is to verify the authentication of the story. Hadith contain not just the story, but also record the narrators (or transmitter) of it. One story can have several chains of narrators. This also means that one narrator can transmit several different stories about Prophet Muhammad. This paper describes preliminary results of our work on an Information Visualization approach to view the chain of Hadith narrators, which indirectly show the flow of story about the Prophet in interesting view. We developed a prototype of Chain of Hadith Narrators Visualizer (CHN) and tested it with 20 students of Islamic Education Programme. The findings of this study showedthat the information visualization approach is an appropriate tool to support the learning of Science of Hadith.
