How does contextualization of hadiths of ambitiously becoming leaders against the process of electing leaders in the city of Serang? In answering the problem, the author used a mixed method between library research and field research by applying contextual analysis of Hadith Syuhudi Ismail theory which is based on the theory of Yūsuf Qarḍawi.
