Understanding Emotion Regulation Among Single Mothers in Malaysia: A Thematic Analysis Through the Lense of Nabawi Practices
type: item
description: Single motherhood in Malaysia is often accompanied by emotional, social, and psychological challenges that require continuous emotional regulation. In navigating the demands of caregiving, financial responsibility, and social expectations, single mothers employ various strategies to manage emotions such as anger, sadness, and distress. This qualitative study explores how single mothers in Malaysia regulate their emotions amidst the challenges of single parenthood. Drawing on semi-structured interviews with six participants, thematic analysis revealed a dual approach to emotion regulations which are personal coping strategies such screaming and throwing objects, and faith-based practices such as performing prayer (solat), remembrance (dhikr), and Qur'anic recitation, which reflecting Nabawi methods of managing emotions. These findings suggest a significant integration between the mothers’ lived personal experiences and the emotional regulation strategies modeled by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) underscoring the significance of faith-based practices in the psychological resilience of Muslim single mothers. Throughout this research, it highlights the integration of psychological self-regulation with spiritual resilience, contributing to a deeper understanding of culturally and religiously embedded coping strategies among Muslim women. This study contributes to the understanding of culturally and religiously informed coping mechanisms, offering insights for mental health practitioners working within Islamic contexts. Implications are discussed for mental health practitioners, religious counsellors, and support systems working with Muslim single mothers.

Family Resilience Based on the Integration of Maqāṣid Al-Syarī'ah in the Prevention of Child Grooming in Indonesia
type: item
description: The phenomenon of child grooming, which is a manipulative process carried out by perpetrators to build children's trust for the purpose of sexual and psychological exploitation, is increasingly prominent in Indonesia along with the massive use of digital technology and social media by children and adolescents. In the context of national law, prevention efforts are often still reactive, focused on enforcement after a crime has occurred, and have not fully involved the family as the main protective unit. In fact, the family is the first bastion in child protection and has a strategic role in building moral, emotional, and digital resilience for children. This study aims to analyze how the integration of the principles of Maqāṣid al-Syarī'ah, especially ḥifẓ al-nafs (protection of the soul), ḥifẓ al-'aql (protection of intellect), and ḥifẓ al-nasl (protection of offspring) can strengthen family resilience while improving child grooming prevention strategies in Indonesia. Using a qualitative approach and normative analysis of maqāṣid al-syarī'ah literature, the concept of family resilience, and child protection policies, this study found that the integration of maqāṣid al-syarī'ah was able to provide a philosophical and operational basis for a more holistic preventive approach. The integration encourages the formation of prevention strategies that include strengthening the parenting function, character education with an Islamic perspective, increasing the digital literacy of school parents, strengthening regulations and collaboration between institutions, and activating the role of religious communities. This finding confirms that the prevention of child grooming is not only a legal issue, but also a moral-religious mandate that places the family as the main pillar in maintaining the welfare of children's souls, intellect, and offspring.

توظيف المنهج المقاصدي في توجيه العمل الوقفي نحو دعم التعليم العالي في مصر
type: item
description: ملخص: يعدّ المنهج المقاصدي من أهم المناهج الفقهية التي توجه الاجتهاد والقضايا المعاصرة والسياسات الشرعية، ومن بينها سياسات الوقف، وقد عرف الوقف بدوره التاريخي الكبير في بناء النهضة التعليمية والثقافية في الدولة الإسلامية، إلا أن دوره الفاعل تراجع في العصر الحديث في مصر وكثير من الدول الإسلامية. فيعالج هذا البحث -من منظور مقاصدي- مشكلة ضعف دور الوقف في مصر على الرغم من كثرة الأوقاف المعطلة، وتراجع التوجه الوقفي نحو دعم التعليم العالي وضعف الوعي المجتمعي بأهميته، كما تواجه مؤسسات التعليم العالي تحديات جوهرية، أبرزها ضعف التمويل، مما يستلزم تفعيل نظام وقف مستدام، ويهدف البحث إلى تحليل واقع العمل الوقفي في مصر ومحدودية إسهامه في التعليم العالي، واستعراض التحديات المالية والتنظيمية التي تواجه هذا القطاع، وتوضيح آليات توظيف المنهج المقاصدي في إعادة توجيه المسار الحالي للوقف نحو التعليم العالي. وبالاعتماد على المنهج الوصفي التحليلي، أظهرت نتائج البحث أن الوقف يمثل أداة فعّالة لدعم التعليم العالي في الوقت الراهن، إضافة إلى ضرورة تعديل مسار التوجه الوقفي التقليدي في مصر نحو أولويات التعليم، وأهمية المنهج المقاصدي في توجيه ممارسات الوقف، ويخلص البحث إلى توصيات أبرزها: تشجيع المانحين على جعل التعليم العالي أولوية وقفية، وتطوير نماذج وقفية حديثة تتلاءم مع الاحتياجات المعاصرة، وتحسين إدارة واستثمار الأوقاف القديمة والحديثة بالشكل الأمثل، بما يحقق المقاصد الشرعية للوقف. الكلمات المفتاحية: المنهج المقاصدي-العمل الوقفي- التعليم العالي- مصر. Abstract The Maqāṣid-based methodology represents one of the most significant juristic approaches guiding contemporary ijtihād, modern issues, and Sharīʿah-based public policies, including waqf policies. Historically, the waqf system played a pivotal role in shaping the educational and cultural renaissance of the Islamic civilization; however, its effective role has notably declined in modern times in Egypt and many other Muslim countries. This study adopts a Maqāṣid-oriented perspective to examine the diminished impact of waqf in Egypt, despite the large number of dormant endowments, the limited direction of waqf efforts toward supporting highe…

The Ulama and Jihad: Examining Ibn ‘Asakir’s Role in the Narrative of Bayt al-Maqdis’ Liberation During Nur al-Din Mahmud Zanki’s Era
type: item
description: The fall of Bayt al-Maqdis to the Franks in 1099 CE during the First Crusade was a significant setback for the Islamic world, exacerbated by political fragmentation and sectarian divisions, particularly between Sunni and Shi‘a factions. In response, several Muslim leaders rose to reclaim the city, culminating in its liberation by Salah al-Din al-Ayyubi in 1187 CE. However, this success was not solely due to military leadership, it was a collective effort involving various groups, including religious scholars (ulama), whose contributions are often overlooked. This study examines the crucial role of Ibn ‘Asakir (d. 1176 CE), a distinguished scholar and historian from Damascus, in shaping the narrative of Bayt al-Maqdis’s liberation. Through his works, including Ta’rikh Dimashq (History of Damascus) and his sermons, he reinforced the legitimacy of jihad against the Crusaders. His teachings on hadith, Sunni unity, and religious duty helped frame jihad as a collective obligation under the leadership of Nur al-Din Mahmud Zanki. Using a historical research framework, this study analyses relevant sources thematically. The findings indicate that Ibn ‘Asakir’s efforts to counter Shi‘a influence and uphold Sunni orthodoxy were strategic moves to ensure political and military solidarity. By integrating theology, history, and political advocacy, he positioned the liberation of Bayt al-Maqdis not just as a military goal but as a religious obligation linked to Sunni identity and spiritual salvation.

Inheritance Distribution in Indonesia: Dialectics of Islamic Law and Social Relations
type: item
description: This research examines the practice of inheritance distribution in Indonesian society through a socio-legal approach, focusing on the dialectic between Islamic legal norms and social relations that shape the factual practice of inheritance. Although the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI) stipulates the provisions of inheritance distribution based on the faraid principle, the practice in the field shows a variety of interpretations and modifications influenced by social structure, local culture, and family dynamics. This research uses a qualitative approach with interviews, observation, and documentation studies on inheritance practices in several Muslim communities, and the data were analysed using thematic analysis through stages of data reduction, coding, categorization, and interpretation to identify emerging patterns and findings. The results show that the norms of Islamic inheritance law undergo transformation when dealing with the patriarchal system, social status, and education level. In addition, there is a pattern of adaptation through family deliberation that emphasises harmony and substantive justice, as well as resistance from those who adhere to the textual interpretation of sharia. The roles of religious leaders, the state and the family are significant in mediating between ideal norms and social practices. The maqāṣid sharia approach is seen as an alternative to reconstruct Islamic inheritance law that is more contextual and responsive to the needs of social justice. This research concludes that inheritance distribution is not only a matter of legal compliance, but also an arena for negotiating values, power and identity in Indonesian Muslim society.

Membina Semula Tadbir Urus Islam: Sintesis Falsafah Ketuhanan, Institusi dan Sejarah
type: item
description: This paper examines the philosophical foundations of Islamic governance as a value system integrates divine principles, institutional structures, and historical trajectories. It aims to reconstruct a conceptual framework that synthesizes tawhid with institutional design, offering a normative basis for reform rather than evaluating any specific polity’s empirical performance. Using a qualitative and reflective approach, the study combines philosophical analysis with institutional–historical inquiry, drawing on three primary sources: an articulation of Islamic Good Corporate Governance (IGCG), scholarship on religion corruption dynamics, and an edited volume on colonial and post-colonial governance of Islam. Data were analyzed thematically following Braun and Clarke, with reflexivity and cross-source triangulation enhancing trustworthiness. Findings reveal four interrelated themes: first, tawhid as the ontological and epistemological anchor of authority, responsibility (amānah), justice (ʿadl), and welfare (maṣlaḥah), positioning governance as a moral and spiritual mandate. Second, structural blind spots in secular-utilitarian paradigms that prioritize technical efficiency while neglecting ethical coherence. Third, the path-dependent transformation of Syariah courts, zakat administration, and religious education under colonial rule, which narrowed Islam’s institutional autonomy and moral scope and fourth, the operationalization of ethics through IGCG principles which are transparency, accountability, responsibility, independence, and fairness bridging normative ideals with institutional practice. The paper concludes that reconstructing Islamic governance requires a critical philosophical approach and a historically informed institutional reform strategy that embeds maqāṣid al-sharīʿah within governance mechanisms. Recommendations include phased reforms through value–practice audits, revitalization of religious institutions as moral guardians, and restoring bounded aut…

منهج أهل السنة والجماعة في تحقيق مقصد حفظ المجتمع: تأصيل شرعي وتطبيق معاصر في النموذج الماليزي
type: item
description: ملخص: تنبع أهمية هذا البحث من معالجته لإحدى الإشكاليات الكبرى في الفكر الإسلامي المعاصر، والمتمثلة في الحاجة إلى تأصيل مرجعية سنية وسطية قادرة على الحدّ من مظاهر الانقسام الداخلي، وتقديم نموذج تطبيقي واقعي لإدارة المجتمع في ظل التعددية الدينية والثقافية. ويتناول البحث منهج أهل السنة والجماعة – بما يشمله من العقيدة الأشعرية والماتريدية، والمذاهب الفقهية السنية الأربعة، والتصوف السني – باعتباره إطارًا معرفيًا متكاملًا لتفعيل الشريعة في بعدها المقاصدي، ولا سيما مقصد حفظ المجتمع واستقرار الأمة. ويهدف البحث إلى التأصيل الشرعي لمقصد حفظ المجتمع في ضوء هذا المنهج، مع دراسة كيفية تطبيقه في النموذج الماليزي، وتحليل السياسات والآليات المؤسسية التي اعتمدت المرجعية السنية الوسطية في إدارة التنوع الديني والثقافي، جنبًا إلى جنب مع إبراز أبرز عوامل النجاح والتحديات التي واجهت هذا النموذج، خاصة ما يتعلق بحرية المعتقد والتمييز الديني. وقد اعتمدت الدراسة المنهج الوصفي التحليلي، من خلال الجمع بين تحليل النصوص الشرعية ذات الصلة، واستقراء جهود العلماء في ترسيخ مقصد حفظ المجتمع ضمن توازن العقيدة والفقه والسلوك، بالإضافة إلى التحليل الواقعي لتجربة ماليزيا المعاصرة. وأظهرت نتائج البحث أن العقيدة السنية الوسطية، بقيمها القائمة على الاعتدال والتسامح والتوازن، أسهمت بصورة واضحة في بناء مجتمع آمن ومتعدد الأطياف، وأن تبنّي الدولة للمنهج السني وتفعيله عبر المؤسسات التعليمية والدينية كان من أبرز عوامل تحقيق السلم المجتمعي. ويخلص البحث إلى ضرورة تعزيز مقصد حفظ المجتمع في الخطاب الديني والفقهي، والاقتداء بالنماذج المعتدلة التي تجمع بين الأصالة الإسلامية والانفتاح الحضاري، بما يسهم في تحقيق الاستقرار المجتمعي وإدارة التنوع بصورة متوازنة. الكلمات المفتاحية: المجتمع، أهل السنة والجماعة، مقاصد الشريعة، التعدد الديني، ماليزيا، السلم المجتمعي.

An Overview of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Issues from the Perspective of Islamic Jurisprudence
type: item
description: The advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) is significantly transforming the educational landscape, shifting pedagogical practices from traditional methods to technology-driven approaches. This evolution is in alignment with the objectives of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah, particularly the preservation and enhancement of knowledge in the domains of science and technology. However, the integration of AI in education has also raised pressing ethical concerns, especially in relation to academic misconduct such as plagiarism and the decline of students’ critical and creative thinking abilities. This article adopts a qualitative and empirical methodology, drawing on data from selected academic journals related to AI in education and society, published between 2019 and 2024. Additionally, references from classical and contemporary Islamic scholarly works, as well as survey data collected from students are utilized to explore the dual impact of AI in educational fields. While AI presents substantial potential as an effective and supportive learning tool, this study highlights the importance of mitigating its ethical misuse among students. The integration of Islamic ethical principles is proposed as a critical measure for promoting responsible and values-based AI usage in academic contexts. To this end, the article proposed the TAQIT guideline, an acronym for Tabayyun (Verification), Akhlāq (Virtue Ethics), ‘Aql (Intellect), Amanah (Integrity), and Taqwā (God-Consciousness) as a holistic ethical framework that synthesizes divine law, moral principles, and social responsibility. This model aims to curb academic dishonesty and foster an ethical, spiritually grounded approach to learning in the age of AI.

Sumbangan Amalan Khuruj dalam Pembinaan Sahsiah Golongan Masturat Jemaah Tabligh: Kajian dari Perspektif Sunnah
type: item
description: This study aims to examine the contribution of khuruj practice among the Masturat group in shaping personal character (sahsiah) based on the values rooted in the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). The main focus of the study is to explore how khuruj, as practiced by Masturat in the Tablighi Jamaat, aligns with Prophetic principles and the mechanisms by which it contributes to the moral and spiritual development of Muslim women. Khuruj refers to voluntary preaching efforts over a specific period, emphasizing the sacrifice of time, wealth, and energy to strengthen one’s faith and righteous deeds. It is a key component of the Tablighi movement that also involves women through structured activities such as religious study circles (halaqah), recitation of Fadhail A’mal, daily dhikr, and house-to-house women’s outreach. This study adopts a qualitative approach through documentation and library research methods, utilizing secondary sources such as previous scholarly works, classical Islamic texts, and references from the Sunnah. It aims to address the question of how khuruj functions as a platform for internalizing Islamic values such as humility (tawadhu’), moderation, obedience, and sacrifice, and how these values are practically integrated into the daily lives of Muslim women. The analysis focuses on the spiritual and ethical transformation experienced by women through consistent involvement in Sunnah-based practices. Findings indicate that khuruj significantly contributes to the formation of Masturat’s character, not only in strengthening aqidah (creed) and ibadah (worship), but also in nurturing disciplined, patient, and responsible women who are committed to their roles as wives, mothers, and community members. This study provides deeper insights into the role of women in the context of the Tablighi Jamaat’s missionary efforts and offers an alternative perspective on Islamic character development grounded in the Sunnah.

description: This study examines the utilization of qawā‘id fiqhiyyah (Islamic legal maxims) by Muḥammad Sa‘īd Ramadān al-Būṭī in issuing fatwas related to contemporary issues. These legal maxims demonstrate the concerted efforts of Islamic scholars to develop a robust framework for resolving emerging legal dilemmas. The research focuses on al-Būṭī’s application of qawā‘id fiqhiyyah in addressing modern challenges, such as organ donation, the use of prohibited substances in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, and the question of rebellion against Muslim rulers. The study adopts a qualitative approach by analyzing al-Būṭī’s fatwas, highlighting how he integrated the principles of Islamic law with rational analysis in his ijtihād to provide relevant and pragmatic solutions. The findings reveal that al-Būṭī effectively employed qawā‘id fiqhiyyah through a critical thinking framework, emphasizing objectivity, thorough analysis, and concern for public welfare (maṣlaḥah). This research underscores al-Būṭī’s role in upholding the dynamic tradition of Islamic jurisprudence and demonstrates the effectiveness of qawā‘id fiqhiyyah as a systematic tool for addressing contemporary legal challenges. The study concludes that al-Būṭī’s approach not only reflects a deep understanding of Islamic principles but also showcases the enduring relevance of legal maxims in responding to the evolving needs of modern society.

Teori Keqadiman Alam: Kajian Perbandingan Antara Kosmologi Fakhr al-Dīn al-Rāzī dan Kosmologi Ibn Taymiyyah
type: item
description: The ontological status of this universe is one of the main cosmological discussion in Islamic tradition. Acting as an antithesis to the theory of the pre-eternity of the universe proposed by the philosophers, the scholars of kalam summarize various arguments to prove the novelty of the universe and refute the claims of the pre-eternity of the universe which are said to be burhānī in status. Interestingly, in this matter, the theory of the pre-eternity of the universe serves as a meeting point between two figures from different schools and lines of thought, namely Fakhr al-Dīn al-Rāzī (d. 606 H), a kalam and tafsir scholar from the Ash‘arī school, and Ibn Taymiyyah (d. 728 H), a hadith scholar from the Ḥanbalī school, both of whom oppose this theory. Considering the potential variety of kalam arguments that can be utilized, this study aims to examine the positions of al-Rāzī and Ibn Taymiyyah and their responses to the theory of the pre-eternity of the universe. This literature-based study uses document analysis methods to obtain sufficient data for formulating their positions. Data were collected through scholarly books, theses, texts, and academic articles. The study found that both figures strongly reject the belief that this universe has no beginning for each of its entities (afrād), but they disagree on the ontological status of the universal concept (naw‘) of this universe, where al-Rāzī believes it is also has a beginning, while Ibn Taymiyyah believes otherwise. They were also found to have different views on the chain of creation of the universe, but they agree in criticizing the causality theory (ta‘līl) of philosophers on this issue. This indirectly shows that the use of kalām and philosophy in the theological issues is something that cannot be avoided by any figures involved in sophisticated theological issues. This study also has the potential to provide a new lens in the discourse of the debate between Islamic streams, particularly between Ash'ariyyah an…

Penggunaan Landskap Perkhidmatan di Premis Makanan dan Implikasinya Terhadap Industri Halal di Malaysia
type: item
description: The halal industry in Malaysia has expanded significantly, particularly in the food sector, where certification by the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM) plays a vital role in ensuring halal integrity. Despite this, there are Muslim consumers continue to patronize food premises without valid halal certification. This situation raises the possibility of inadvertent consumption of forbidden (haram) or doubtful (syubhah) products. In such contexts, the servicescape is believed to influence consumer perception and decision-making. This article explores the concept of the servicescape and how it can either support or contaminate halal assurance by shaping consumer perceptions. Through a qualitative literature review, the study identifies two types of servicescape: physical and social, each encompassing various influencing elements. The study also reveals how these elements influence consumers’ trust and decision-making, especially in the absence of visible halal logos. Findings indicate that servicescape may mislead Muslim consumers by projecting a halal image which is not grounded in official certification. The study underscores the importance of Muslim consumer discernment by prioritizing food premises that display the official halal logo and calls for greater reliance on certified premises to uphold the credibility of the halal industry.

Pendekatan Mujāhadah terhadap Pengurusan Keluarga Miskin Luar Bandar: Satu Sorotan Awal
type: item
description: Poverty is a global challenge that affects various aspects of life including family management. Rural poor families often face complex management issues such as limited economic resources, restricted access to quality education, inadequate housing, and heightened social pressures that further exacerbate existing stress and conflict, thereby disrupting family functioning and overall well-being. Previous studies have indicated that a spiritual approach that fosters inner strength is needed to help these families overcome such challenges, improve their quality of life, and achieve holistic well-being. Therefore, this study aims to explore the role of mujāhadah in addressing family management issues among rural poor families. A qualitative research design was employed, involving in-depth and comprehensive analysis of journal articles, books, written documents, and other academic sources to identify key issues faced by rural poor families and examine how the mujāhadah approach can offer concrete solutions. The findings reveal that mujāhadah not only strengthens spiritual resilience but also encourages physical actions such as striving for lawful sustenance, cultivating self-discipline, and fostering positive social environments. This approach has been proven to build biopsychosocial resilience and instill consistent self-awareness, thereby enabling poor families to break the cycle of poverty. The paper proposes that the mujāhadah approach be systematically integrated into rural family development programs, particularly to strengthen inner resilience, enhance biopsychosocial endurance, and empower the self-motivation of poor families to sustainably escape poverty.

Embracing Diversity: Navigating Religious Identity in Multicultural Societies
type: item
description: This study aims to explore the experiences of minority religious groups in maintaining their religious identity within a multicultural society dominated by a majority religion. Through an extensive literature review, the author analyses key works that examine the complex dynamics between religious minorities and majorities. The study delves into the challenges faced by minority groups, including marginalization, discrimination, and the tension of identity negotiation, as they strive to preserve their distinct religious identity in the face of societal pressures to conform to the dominant culture. The research uncovers various strategies employed by these groups to navigate these challenges, such as building intra-community solidarity, engaging in interfaith dialogue, and advocating for greater religious tolerance and understanding. The findings of this research highlight the intricate nature of interreligious dynamics in heterogeneous societies and underscore the importance of fostering an environment of mutual respect, tolerance, and dialogue. By shedding light on the lived experiences of religious minorities, this study provides valuable insights into the mechanisms of religious identity preservation amidst external pressures. The practical implications of this research are significant, as it offers guidance for developing social intervention strategies aimed at promoting interreligious tolerance and cultivating a more inclusive, civic, and multicultural society. These strategies can serve as a foundation for policymakers, educators, and community leaders in their efforts to enhance religious harmony and social cohesion within diverse communities.

Analisis Maslahah Penglibatan Malaysia dalam RCEP serta Implikasi Ekonomi dan Sosial
type: item
description: As the world's largest trade agreement involving ASEAN countries and key trading partners such as China, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and New Zealand, RCEP offers various economic benefits to Malaysia, including increased exports, foreign direct investment (FDI), and integration into regional supply chains. However, this trade agreement also presents challenges, particularly in terms of domestic industry competition, effects on small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and social implications. A qualitative research approach is employed in this study, where data is gathered from journal articles, research reports, by Islamic scholars, and official sources related to Malaysia’s participation in international trade agreements. The primary focus of this study is to examine the policies, implementation, and impact of RCEP on Malaysia’s economy and society, as well as its alignment with Maqasid Shariah principles, particularly economic benefits and social protection. The findings indicate that Malaysia's participation in RCEP provides economic advantages such as increased exports, higher FDI, and deeper global supply chain integration. However, challenges remain in terms of domestic industry competition, reliance on external markets, and impacts on SMEs. The maslahah analysis suggests that Shariah-based strategies should be adopted to ensure a balance between economic benefits and social needs, such as worker protection, environmental sustainability, and economic stability. Therefore, this study provides a clearer understanding of the economic and social implications of Malaysia’s participation in RCEP and serves as a reference for policymakers and Islamic financial institutions in formulating more sustainable and Shariah-compliant trade strategies.

دبلوماسية المساعدات الإنسانية: المفاهيم ومجالات التطبيق
type: item
description: ملخص: شهد القرن العشرون وبداية القرن الحادي والعشرين زيادة ملحوظة في عدد الحروب والنزاعات المسلحة، مما أبرز أهمية تنشيط دبلوماسية المساعدات الإنسانية لتخفيف آثار الأزمات وتعزيز المساعدات الإنسانية، حيث يقصد بالمساعدات الإنسانية " مساعدة وإجراءات مصممة لإنقاذ الأرواح وتخفيف المعاناة والحفاظ على الكرامة الإنسانية وحمايتها أثناء حالات الطوارئ وفي أعقابها"، ومن ثم، فإن العمل الإنساني يُفهم على أنه واجب عالمي يرتكز على مبدأ الإنسانية المشتركة. ويمكن أن يستلزم توفير المساعدة والحماية لأولئك الذين يعانون في الكوارث الطبيعية وحالات الطوارئ المعقدة والتي من صنع الإنسان. وعليه يهدف هذا البحث إلى تعريف القارئ بالمفاهيم الأساسية المتعلقة بدبلوماسية المساعدات الإنسانية، وتوضيح أبرز مجالات استعمالها، فضلاً عن تحليل التحديات التي تواجهها في السياقات الحالية. تُطرح في هذه الدراسة إشكالية تتعلق بالسؤال: ما هي المفاهيم الأساسية المرتبطة بدبلوماسية المساعدات الإنسانية؟ وما هي أبرز مجالات تطبيقها في ظل تزايد الأزمات الإنسانية؟اعتمدت الدراسة على المنهج الوصفي التحليلي، واستندت إلى مجموعة من الأدبيات والدراسات المعاصرة. وقد أسفرت النتائج عن أن دبلوماسية المساعدات الإنسانية تعتبر ممارسة قديمة، إلا أن استخدامها كمفهوم في الأوساط الأكاديمية يعد حديثًا نسبيًا. كما أظهرت الدراسة أن إنشاء اللجنة الدولية للصليب الأحمر في عام 1863 يمثل نقطة تحول هامة في تاريخ العمل الإنساني المنظم. من بين مجالات التطبيق الهامة التي ناقشها البحث: حالات الطوارئ المعقدة، الأوبئة، المجاعات، والحروب الأهلية، مع التركيز على صعوبة الوصول إلى الرعاية الصحية في المناطق المتضررة.أوصت الدراسة بضرورة إجراء أبحاث معمقة حول دبلوماسية المساعدات الإنسانية من منظور إسلامي، خاصةً أن الإسلام قدم اهتمامًا كبيرًا للبعد الإنساني في أوقات الحروب والنزاعات، مما يستدعي تعزيز هذا المجال من خلال مقاربة تحليلية وسياقية تتماشى مع الواقع المعاصر. الكلمات المفتاحية: الدبلوماسية، المساعدات الإنسانية، الحروب، الكوارث الطبيعية، القانون الدولي الإنساني. ABSTRACT In the past few decades, there has been a notable rise in wars and armed conflicts around the globe, underscoring the pressing necessity for effective humanitarian aid diplomacy to addres…

Marriage Application Procedure Abroad: A Qualitative Study at Negeri Sembilan Islamic Religious Affairs Department (JHEAINS)
type: item
description: Marriage in Islam is a highly encouraged Sunnah for all Muslims. However, the evolution of time has necessitated that every marriage undergoes several procedures to ensure its legal validity in a given country. The issue of unregistered marriages abroad among Malaysian Muslim citizens has been increasing day by day. This phenomenon is attributed to several factors, including a lack of knowledge about marriage application procedures abroad, polygamy without official permission, the absence of family consent, and the complexity of marriage registration procedures. Therefore, this article highlights a study on the marriage registration application procedures for local citizens marrying abroad, focusing on the Negeri Sembilan Islamic Religious Affairs Department (JHEAINS) as the research subject. This study adopts a qualitative research approach utilizing semi-structured interview techniques. An interview was conducted with a Marriage, Divorce, and Reconciliation Officer at JHEAINS to gather information regarding the marriage application procedures for Malaysian Muslim citizens abroad. The study found that marriage registration procedures abroad are divided into two categories which are marriages between Malaysian citizens that take place abroad and marriages between a Malaysian citizen and a foreign national abroad. The registration process involves the submission of 12 essential documents. The findings emphasize the importance of public awareness and understanding of marriage procedures to reduce instances of unauthorized marriages abroad. In conclusion, this article provides significant insights into the issue of overseas marriages and highlights the need for education and public awareness to ensure adherence to proper marriage procedures.

Identifikasi Kajian Pendidikan Multi-Agama dan Antara-Agama di ASEAN (2014-2024): Satu Tinjauan Literatur Bersistematik
type: item
description: Religious education in ASEAN has traditionally been oriented towards a mono-religious system that emphasises one dominant religion in the national education system. However, in the context of increasingly complex societies, this approach raises critical questions about its efficacy in shaping inclusive and harmonious societies. This article employs a systematic literature review (SLR) approach to analyse the development of multi-religious and inter-religious education in ASEAN from 2016 to 2024. The analysis revealed a paucity of studies in this field, with the majority concentrating on two countries, namely Indonesia and Malaysia. Other ASEAN countries have produced only a limited amount of significant research in this area. The study's findings indicate that multi-religious education has the potential to facilitate a more comprehensive comprehension of other religious doctrines without compromising the distinctiveness of each religion's identity. Conversely, inter-religious education underscores engagement and discourse as pivotal tools to mitigate prejudice and alleviate social discord. Nevertheless, the implementation of both approaches is still encumbered by challenges such as misalignment in national education bases, political and religious sensitivities, and a shortage of faculty trained in cross-religious education. Moreover, the rise in academic publications following 2020 signifies the resurgence of discourse on the significance of inclusive education within academic circles. However, this discourse has not been systematically integrated into national education curricula in the majority of ASEAN countries. The article posits that the absence of comprehensive and dialogic educational reforms in ASEAN nations threatens to perpetuate the escalation of religious polarisation. Consequently, multi-religious education and inter-religious education must be established as integral components of a comprehensive, long-term strategy to ensure social stability and regi…

دور جهات الوعظ والإفتاء الرسمية تِجاهَ محاربة ظاهرة سب الرب والدين في الدول العربية: دراسة تحليلية استقرائية مقارنة
type: item
description: ملخص: يُعتَبر سب الرب والدين ظاهرة منتشرة في اثنَيْ عشَرَ دولة من الدول العربية (وهي: لبنان، وسوريا، والأردن، وفلسطين، والعراق، واليمن، ومصر، والسودان، والمغرب، وتونس، وليبيا، والجزائر)، وهي ظاهرة مستمرة في الانتشار مما يزيد الحاجة إلى مكافحتها من جميع الجهات ومنها جهة الدور الإفتائي والدعوي للعلماء والدعاة تجاه الظاهرة في الدول العربية، ومع عدم وجود دراسات سابقة في ذلك، تهدفُ هذه الدراسة إلى قياس ومقارنة جهود جهات الوعظ والإفتاء الرسمية في محاربة هذه الظاهرة، وستَتَّبِع الدراسةُ المنهجَ الاستقرائي الوصفي التحليلي المقارن للوصول إلى النتائج، وتوصلت الدراسة إلى أن ثُلُثَي الدول العربية (66%) التي تنتشر فيها هذه الظاهرة لم تحتوِ مواقعها الإلكترونية الرسمية المتعلقة بالإفتاء والوعظ على كلمة واحدة للتحذير أو الوعظ في هذه الظاهرة الخطيرة المنتشرة في مجتمعاتهم، وأن التقصير واقع في جميعِها: فهي ما بَين عدم التحذير نهائيا (8 دول)، والتحذير بنزر قليل لا يتناسب مع عِظَم الجرم (دولتان)، والتحذير مع الاحتواء على خلل جسيم (دولتان)، وأن أقل هذه الدول تقصيرا في ذلك هي الأردن، ثم مصر ثم ليبيا ثم تونس ثم السودان وفلسطين ثم بقية الدول العربية التي تنتشر فيها هذه الظاهرة كمرتبة أخيرة (وهي العراق واليمن ولبنان وسوريا والجزائر والمغرب)، وتم ترتيب الدول بناء على معاييرَ أربعٍ: 1-عدد المرات (10% ) 2- وحجم المحتوى (30%) 3-ومدى الصراحة والقصد المباشر لهذا المحتوى في مكافحة الظاهرة (30%). 4-وكذا مدى سلامة المحتوي من الشبه والانحرافات عن الجادة (30%). وفي ظل هذا المعيار تم الرد بالتفصيل على سِتِّ شُبَهٍ وانحرافات، كان أخطرها التأصيل الفاسد بجعل غلبة العادة بشتم الذات الإلهية والدين مانعة من موانع التكفير، وأن الناس لا يقصدون المعاندة! وملخص الجواب عموما: هو أن الفقهاء صرحوا بالإجماع بأن من شروط إعمال العرف عدم مخالفته للشريعة، فما الشأن بعادة كفرية تخالف أصل الإسلام والشريعة، وتخالف تعظيم الله تعالى الذي هو أحد ركني العبادة! وبأنه لا يُنظر إلى ما "يُراد" ويُقصد في السب الصريح لله ولدينه وهو المنتشر لمن يمارس هذه الظاهرة، وإنما ينظر إلى القصد في الألفاظ غير الصريحة كما نص عليه ابنُ حَجَرٍ الهَيْتَمي، وأظهرت البيانات المجموعة وجود تفاوت ملحوظ في الاستجابة بين الدول (83% من المحتوى الرسمي انحصر …

النشر المتَكَرِّر للبحث العلميّ في ضوء السُّنَّة النبويَّة: دراسة تأصيليَّة
type: item
description: يتناول هذا البحث ظاهرة النشر المتكرر للبحث العلمي في ضوء السُّنَّة النبويَّة، حيث تكمن مشكلة البحث في تزايد حالات نشر البحث الواحد في أكثر من مجلة علمية دون إعلام، وما يترتب على ذلك من إشكالات منهجية وأخلاقية. اعتمد البحث على المنهج التأصيلي الاستقرائي التحليلي من خلال استقراء النصوص الشرعية المتعلقة بالتدليس في الحديث النبوي وتحليلها، ثم استنباط المعايير المعاصرة لضبط النشر العلمي. توصل البحث إلى أن تكرار نشر البحث دون الإفصاح عن النشر السابق يندرج تحت مفهوم التدليس المنهي عنه في السُّنَّة النبويَّة، وأنه يتنافى مع مبادئ الأمانة العلمية. كما كشف البحث عن التشابه المنهجي بين علة التدليس عند المحدثين وإشكالية النشر المتكرر في العصر الحاضر، حيث تشترك الصورتان في إخفاء معلومات جوهرية عن المتلقي، مما يؤثر في قراره وحكمه على المادة العلمية. وقدم البحث خمسة معايير مستنبطة من منهجية المحدثين لضبط النشر العلمي، هي: التوثيق المؤسسي الموحد، والإفصاح والشفافية، والرقابة التقنية، والمساءلة والمحاسبة، والتوعية المجتمعية والتأهيل العلمي. يوصي البحث بتطبيق هذه المعايير في المؤسسات الأكاديمية المعاصرة، وإنشاء قاعدة بيانات موحدة للأبحاث المنشورة على مستوى العالم العربي والإسلامي لمنع تكرار النشر، وتعزيز الوعي المجتمعي بخطورة هذه الظاهرة وآثارها السلبية على مصداقية البحث العلمي ومكانة المؤسسات الأكاديمية الكلمات المفتاحية: النشر المتَكَرِّر، السُّنَّة النبويَّة، التدليس العلمي، الأمانة العلمية، معايير النشر العلمي ABSTRACT This research addresses the phenomenon of repeated publication of scientific research in light of the Prophetic Traditions (Sunnah). The research problem lies in the increasing cases of publishing the same research in multiple scientific journals without disclosure, resulting in methodological and ethical issues. The study adopted an inductive-analytical foundational approach by examining religious texts related to misrepresentation (tadlees) in Prophetic Hadith and analyzing them, then deriving contemporary standards to regulate scientific publication. The study concluded that repeated publication without disclosing previous publication falls under the concept of …

Identifikasi Kajian-Kajian Berkaitan Intervensi Preventif Bagi Pedofilia Berdasarkan Systematic Literature Review
type: item
description: The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-V), classifies pedophilia as a mental disorder. Despite this, numerous cases are reported daily, with many others going unreported due to the stigma and taboo surrounding the issue. This paper aims to identify patterns in previous research on pedophilia by utilizing the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method. This approach involves systematically framing, identifying, evaluating, and analyzing prior studies on preventive interventions for pedophilia through a structured process. The findings highlight several key issues for discussion, including legal frameworks, internet usage, types of pedophilic offenders, and the distribution of child pornography. Contributing factors to pedophilia are identified as psychological, social, educational, socioeconomic, and cultural influences. The results also emphasize existing efforts in preventive interventions, such as legal enforcement, educational programs, and the integration of Islamic cognitive and psychospiritual values. This study underscores that pedophilia presents a significant and urgent threat that requires focused attention. While various studies have explored its contributing factors and preventive measures, there remains a critical need for comprehensive interventions that actively engage both guardians and children. Therefore, the development of a holistic model centered on prevention and child protection is crucial. Such a model would not only address this crime effectively but also contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in promoting a healthy and harmonious environment at the national level.

Amalan Murah Rezeki yang Tular di Internet: Analisis Kredibiliti Sumber dan Status Hukum
type: item
description: Nowadays, internet is considered one of the important mediums for delivering and spreading information. The platform for delivering information through internet is seen as more effective and comprehensive compared to others, as it can be said that almost every member of society now owns a smartphone and has access to all the information within it. In the context of religion, internet platforms are also seen as a primary medium for delivering and disseminating information to the public. However, some of the information spread through this medium is seen as lacking clear religious backing. One of the practices detected spreading through this platform without clear religious support is the practice of attracting prosperity. In this regard, this study will examine the credibility of the sources and the legal (hukm) status of some practices related to seeking sustenance that have spread on the Internet. This study is entirely qualitative and involves data collection through a literature review. The data found will be analyzed using document analysis methods. The findings of the study show that at least four legitimate practices for attracting prosperity exist, namely seeking forgiveness (istighfar) and repentance (taubah), maintaining family ties (silaturahim), piety towards Allah (taqwa), and increasing prayers. Meanwhile, there are five practices for attracting prosperity that have spread on the Internet. After conducting the analysis, it was found that none of these five practices are based on authentic and authoritative sources. Therefore, these practices cannot be indiscriminately associated with any religious source. However, these practices can still be generally practiced, without associating them with any specific methods or benefits, as most of them involve reciting Quranic verses and prayers (du’a), both of which are indeed encouraged in Islam.

Produk Berstruktur Islam sebagai Instrumen Pelaburan Kompetitif dalam Pasaran Modal Islam di Malaysia
type: item
description: Islamic structured products represent an innovative, competitive, and dynamic investment avenue within Malaysia's Islamic capital market. These products benefit investors by not only offering returns but also protecting their investment capital. This study aims to compare the derivative instruments used and the different investment periods between the Product Highlights Sheet Islamic Dual Currency (PHS IDCI) structured by Maybank Islamic Berhad and the Product Disclosure Sheet Islamic Structured Forward (PDS Islamic Range Forward) by RHB Islamic Bank Berhad. A content analysis method was applied to the documents of both products. The findings indicate that IDCI tends to have a shorter investment period, ranging from one week to two months, whereas the Islamic Range Forward is more flexible, spanning several months to several years. In terms of investment risks, IDCI faces currency risk, option risk, liquidity risk, and market disruption risk, while the Islamic Range Forward encounters credit risk, market risk, and option risk. In conclusion, this study provides a deep understanding of the differences between Islamic structured products at Maybank Islamic Berhad and RHB Islamic Bank Berhad, impacting investment strategies and capital protection for Islamic investors in Malaysia.

Thoughts on Nationalism Among Leaders of the Islamic Party of Malaysia (PAS) From 1951 to 2013: An Analysis Within PAS Framework
type: item
description: This study comprehensively examines the ideological perspectives on nationalism among the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) leaders from 1951 to 2013. The research addresses the divergence of views on nationalism within PAS, focusing on tops prominent leaders, and evaluates how these differences have shaped the party's direction. It explores the factors contributing to these ideological disparities and their implications for PAS's political future trajectory. Employing a single-method qualitative approach, this study utilizes library research, documentation analysis, and historical contextualization as its primary techniques. The PAS Presidential Speech Policy delivered at the Annual Muktamar is the primary source, complemented by secondary documents. The findings reveal significant ideological divisions within PAS regarding nationalism. While some leaders categorically reject nationalism as incompatible with Islamic principles, others conditionally accept it within an Islamic framework. These differing stances have influenced PAS leadership's ability to unify its members under a cohesive nationalistic ideology aligned with Islam. This study underscores how these ideological tensions have shaped PAS's policies and strategies. It offers insights into the party's evolving role in Malaysian politics and its broader implications for Islamic political movements.

Holistic Scientific Thinking: A New Path to Contemporary Islamic Studies
type: item
description: In the study of contemporary Islam, a holistic scientific thinking approach offers a new perspective that seeks to integrate a variety of disciplines and dimensions of life. This approach focuses not only on separate scientific aspects, but also on the interrelationship between the spiritual, social, political, and economic dimensions of Islam. By combining scientific methods with Islamic values and ethics, holistic scientific thinking becomes relevant to understanding global challenges such as social change, environmental crises, and modern economic dynamics. This research explores the potential of holistic thinking as a new path in a more inclusive and sustainable study of Islam. This approach offers an alternative to the dualistic paradigm that often separates science and religion, thus enabling a renewed understanding of Islam in the context of the modern world.

دراسة منهجية لمقررات العقيدة الأشعرية: أم البراهين نموذجًا
type: item
description: This study aims to define and adjust some of the terms related to Islamic creed topics and to explain the ideological circumstances that influenced the construction and formulation of definitions, as well as to clarify the methodology upon which the most important text of Ash'ari creed is based, namely Umm al-Barahin by Imam al-Sanusiy through elucidating the general frameworks and paths that al-Sanusiy formulated to establish this unique Sunni creed. The researcher has resorted to an inductive approach to achieve these objectives, tracing the Ash'ari school back to the era in which Umm al-Barahin was composed and to the analytical approach where he interprets and deduces the text's vocabulary back to its origins in the Quran and the Sunnah, in accordance with the decisive minds. Among the conclusions drawn, it appears that the term "creed" is a comprehensive and definitive concept that prevents differences of opinion, and that the Ash'ari school is a comprehensive structure and extension of what the predecessors of this Muslim nation adhered to. The foundations of this Sunni approach are manifested in the text of Umm al-Barahin through the combination of certainty from revelation and reason, the encouragement of contemplation, the exaltation of the truth above resemblance to creation, avoidance of excommunication, reliance on interpretation where needed, and submission where language and reason fall short. The scientific value of the research lies in clarifying the reality of Ash'ari creed and explaining the cognitive foundations upon which it is based through their established texts.

The Core Principles of Islamic Jurisprudence within Legal Theory: A Comprehensive Analysis
type: item
description: This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the core principles of Islamic jurisprudence within the framework of Islamic legal theory (Usūl al-Fiqh). It delves into the foundational sources of Islamic law—Qur’ān, Sunnah, Ijmā’, and Qiyās—examining their roles and interrelationships in shaping legal thought and practice. The study explores the evolution of these principles through historical contexts and the development of major schools of thought, including Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i, and Hanbali, highlighting their unique contributions to Islamic jurisprudence. Furthermore, the article discusses methodologies such as Ijtihād (independent reasoning) and Taqlid (imitation), assessing their significance in both historical and contemporary settings. A comparative analysis with Western legal theories underscores the distinct yet occasionally intersecting paths of Islamic and Western legal traditions. The relevance of Islamic jurisprudence in modern legal systems, particularly in Muslim-majority countries, is critically examined, considering challenges and opportunities in integrating traditional principles with contemporary legal frameworks. Through case studies and practical applications, the article demonstrates the enduring impact and adaptability of Islamic legal principles. It addresses internal debates and external criticisms, providing a balanced perspective on the strengths and limitations of Islamic jurisprudence. Ultimately, this study underscores the importance of understanding Islamic legal theory's foundational principles to appreciate its role and potential in the global legal landscape.
