FAKTOR KEROHANIAN MENURUT ISLAM DALAM PEMBINAAN BANDAR SELAMAT [SPIRITUAL FACTORS ACCORDING TO ISLAM IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF A SAFE CITY]
Full text linkUrban areas are facing various problems. Among the main problems in the city is a crime. A solution for this problem is required to create a safer living in the city. Hence, the safe city concept was launched by a global institution, namely UN-Habitat. However, the program is seen to be more focused on the physical development of the city than the spirituality of the urban population. The spirituality of the urban community as contained in the concept of the Islamic city should be given priority because the damage has been done by none other than the community themselves. Therefore, the objective of this study is to reveal the spiritual factor according to the Islamic perspective as a force to succeed the safe city program. Study data were collected using the documentation method and analyzed using the content analysis method. The results show that the spiritual factors of urban communities should be given priority in building a safe city because these factors will produce a society that understands the purpose of urban implementation with proper care and attention towards it. The results of this study can strengthen the construction of a city in terms of spiritual and physical as well as a safer city without excessive spending on the construction of security facilities.Kawasan bandar mempunyai pelbagai jenis masalah yang perlu dihadapi. Antara masalah utama yang berlaku di bandar ialah jenayah. Masalah ini menuntut kepada satu penyelesaian bagi menjadikan bandar tersebut kawasan yang selamat didiami. Maka konsep bandar selamat telah dilancarkan oleh institusi global, iaitu UN-Habitat. Namun begitu, program ini dilihat lebih menumpukan kepada pembangunan fizikal bandar berbanding kerohanian penduduk bandar. Kerohanian masyarakat bandar sebagaimana yang terkandung dalam konsep bandar Islam seharusnya diberi keutamaan kerana masyarakat bandar itu sendiri banyak mendatangkan kerosakan kepada bandar. Oleh itu, objektif kajian ini adalah untuk menzahirkan faktor kerohanian menurut Islam sebagai pemacu kejayaan program bandar selamat. Data kajian dikumpul dengan menggunakan kaedah dokumentasi dan dianalisis menggunakan kaedah analisis kandungan. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa faktor kerohanian masyarakat bandar perlu diberi keutamaan dalam pembinaan bandar selamat kerana faktor ini akan melahirkan masyarakat yang memahami tujuan pelaksanaan bandar serta dapat menjaganya dengan baik. Hasil kajian ini dapat memberi sumbangan kepada pembinaan bandar yang lebih kukuh dari segi kerohanian dan fizikal serta bandar yang lebih selamat tanpa menghabiskan banyak kos pembinaan fasiliti keselamatan.

TOWARDS HALALAN TOYYIBA IMPLEMENTATION IN MALAYSIA: THE APPLICATION OF AL-JALLALAH, ISTIHALAH AND ISTIBRAK CONCEPT IN CURRENT ISSUES CONCERNING WATER-BASED HALAL JURISDICTION IN MALAYSIA
Full text linkHalalan Toyyiba is a principle originally introduced in Islam to ensure that all points of the production process are clean and free of contamination. The Islamic faith places food in very high regard, whatever comes into our stomachs will be accounted for in the afterlife. This principle of Halalan Toyyiba expands into other food-related aspects such as water-based products including agriculture, aquaculture as well as modern-based applications including medicine, pharmaceuticals and farming that deal mainly with water. Hence, it is crucial to examine and develop a sharia-compliant framework for water usage, specifically Halalan Toyyiba, to cater to the needs of the Malaysian community, particularly the majority Muslim population here. This framework aligns neatly with Malaysia’s imminent National Halal Policy 2025-2035. This study aims to introduce and finally integrate the concepts of al-Jallalah, Istihalah, and Istibrak towards the implementation of the Halalan Toyyiba principle in water usage in Malaysia. This paper utilises qualitative approaches. The paper's aims will be addressed by analysing and summarising fatwa-based resources, scholarly papers, and journals in a descriptive manner, all based on current issues and problems related to water. The findings indicate that without a solid framework incorporating the concepts of al-Jallalah, Istihalah, and Istibrak and all aspects of water-based application, the implementation of Halalan Toyyiba in domestic and industrial water-related usage in Malaysia is far from complete. Hence, it is imperative that this policy framework be implemented urgently in Malaysia
PERSAMAAN ANTARA AJARAN BIBLE DAN AJARAN AL-QURAN: ANALISIS TEKSTUAL TERHADAP BEBERAPA ISU [COMMON TEACHINGS IN THE BIBLE AND QURAN: A TEXTUAL ANALYSIS OF SEVERAL ISSUES]
Full text linkAjaran Jesus dan ajaran Nabi Muhammad saw berasal daripada sumber yang sama iaitu Allah Yang Maha Mengetahui lagi Maha Berkuasa. Mereka merupakan antara rasul yang telah Allah mengutuskah ke muka bumi ini. Justeru itu, terdapat banyak persamaan antara ajaran kedua-dua rasul ini seperti yang termaktub di dalam Bible dan Al-Quran. Kajian ini meneliti dan menganalisis persamaan-persamaan yang terdapat dalam ajaran Jesus seperti yang tercatat dalam Bible dan ajaran Nabi Muhammad saw seperti yang terdapat dalam al-Quran, dalam bidang akidah dan hukum hakam. Fokus kajian ini ialah melakukan analisis tekstual terhadap beberapa isu utama. Metodologi yang digunakan melibatkan analisis komparatif terhadap teks-teks kitab suci daripada kedua-dua agama iaitu Bible dan al-Quran, dengan menggunakan pendekatan hermeneutika untuk mengenal pasti dan membandingkan tema-tema utama serta persamaan substantif dalam kedua-dua ajaran ini. Hasil kajian ini mendedahkan keselarasan dalam bidang akidah, iaitu setiap rasul utusan Allah membawa akidah tauhid dan hukum hakam yang perlu diikuti dalam ajaran kedua-dua kitab suci, memberikan pemahaman yang lebih mendalam tentang titik-titik persamaan dalam ajaran Jesus dan ajaran Nabi Muhammad saw. Kajian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan penjelasan yang lebih mendalam mengenai keselarasan yang ada antara ajaran Jesus dengan ajaran nabi Muhammad seterusnya memperkukuhkan lagi dialog antara agama dengan menekankan persamaan-persamaan asas yang ditemui.
The teachings of Jesus and those of Prophet Muhammad pbuh originate from the same source, which is Allah, the All-Knowing and All-Powerful. Both of them are among the messengers whom Allah has sent to this world. As such, there are numerous similarities between the teachings of these two messengers, as enshrined in the Bible and the Quran. This study examines and analyzes the similarities found in the teachings of Jesus, as recorded in the Bible, and the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), as revealed in the Quran, particularly in the areas of creed and jurisprudence. The focus of this research is to conduct a textual analysis of several key issues. The methodology employed involves a comparative analysis of the sacred texts from both religions, namely the Bible and the Quran, using a hermeneutical approach to identify and compare the main themes and substantive similarities in these two teachings. The findings of this study reveal a harmony in the area of creed, showing that every messenger sent by Allah brought the message of monotheism and the laws that must be followed, as outlined in the sacred texts of both religions. This deeper understanding of the commonalities between the teachings of Jesus and Prophet Muhammad pbuh aims to provide a more profound explanation of the alignment between the two, further strengthening interfaith dialogue by highlighting the fundamental similarities discovered
CHINA’S HUI MUSLIMS’ WISDOM OF COEXISTENCE
Full text linkThe Hui is the largest Muslim minority group in China, descended from ancient Arab and Persian merchants in the 7th century and mid-Asian war captives of the Mongol army in the 13th century. Immersed in an environment where more than 90% of the total population is non-Muslim Chinese, and whose dominant ideology is Confucianism, the Hui Muslims have undergone significant pressures to integrate into the mainstream society to avoid being marginalized on the one hand and retain their Islamic faith on the other hand. Responding to the challenges, the Hui Muslims employed two major strategies i.e. external accommodation policy and dawah with wisdom to survive and coexist with the dominant Confucian ideology in China. This study explores the coexistence strategies employed by the Hui Muslims during Ming and Qing dynasties. It provides important insights for Muslim minority groups to cope with dominant ideologies of the societies where they live
AL-TAḤAWWULAT AL-IJTIMAʻIYAH FI RIWAYAH ‘LAʻALAHA MAZḤAH’ LIL RIWĀʼYAH ṢĀLIḤAH ʻUBAYD [SOCIAL TRANSFORMATIONS IN THE NOVEL ‘PERHAPS IT'S A JOKE’ BY THE NOVELIST SALIHAH OBEID]
Full text linkThis study aims to analyze the novel ‘Perhaps It's a Joke’ by the Emirati novelist Salihah Obeid and investigates its reflections in the artistic structure of the narrative work. The study analyzes the novel to identify the types of these transformations and to uncover their connection with the Emirati reality, considering it as a model for societal changes in Gulf countries after the discovery of oil. This has resulted in changes in social structure, cultural composition, patterns of thinking, social relationships, values, and influencing individual behavior. The novel ‘Perhaps It's a Joke,’ published in 2018, was selected for study as it represents a literary text expressing the social transformation that the UAE experienced over a timeframe extending from the mid-20th century to the second decade of the 21st century. This is depicted through characters representing two generations, spanning time and space in a journey that explores the circumstances of the Emirati individual and their reality. The study describes and analyzes the social transformations in the novel, categorizes them, and then reveals their connection to the environment in which they emerged. The results indicate the presence of various types of societal transformations in the novel, manifesting across economic, urban, demographic, and intellectual levels. It also addresses the role of women in families and society, as well as social relationships and individual behaviors. These transformations are interconnected with the Emirati human and societal reality, underscoring the impact of reality on narrative writing. The study proposes a preliminary conceptualization of Emirati literature in general and its portrayal of the resulting reality. It provides recommendations emphasizing the necessity of studying Emirati literary achievements to analyze social transformations within them and to reveal the cultural and societal structures of Emirati society, influenced by their reality
AL-HIYAD AL-IJABI FĪ FITNAT AL-QITAL BAYNA AL-MUSLIMIN FI ḌAWʼ AL-KITAB WA AL-SUNNAH: DIRASAH TAʼSILIYAH [POSITIVE NEUTRALITY IN THE TRIAL OF FIGHTING AMONG MUSLIMS CONSIDERING THE QUR'AN AND SUNNAH: A FUNDAMENTAL STUDY]
Full text linkAs people have drifted away from their religion, their knowledge of its teachings, guidance, and prophetic instructions—particularly concerning dealing with trials, their perpetrators, and their times—has diminished. This has led to confusion between truth and falsehood, causing people to divide into two groups, each believing the truth lies with them. Those who choose neutrality are accused by both sides of being against them. Thus, this study aims to highlight the importance of positive neutrality during times of trials, especially in the era of widespread chaos and disorder, through the texts of the Qur'an and the guidance of the truthful and trustworthy Prophet (peace be upon him). The study follows a qualitative methodology based on inquiry, description, and analysis to achieve the desired results. The study concludes the following: The preservation of human life is a fundamental objective of Islamic Sharia. The importance of this preservation is realized through adopting a stance of positive neutrality during the trials of fighting among Muslims, as mandated by both Islamic law and reason, given the mingling of truth with falsehood. This approach aligns with the stance of most Muslim scholars from Ahl As-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah in the past and present. The sanctity of human life is unanimously upheld, and it is forbidden to violate it. It is obligatory to take all measures and adopt all means to protect it. The foundation for achieving this lies in adopting a stance of positive neutrality during conflicts among Muslims
KEDUDUKAN WANITA DALAM ISLAM DAN PERLINDUNGAN NEGARA TERHADAP MEREKA DI NEGARA BRUNEI DARUSSALAM [THE POSITION OF WOMEN IN ISLAM AND NATIONAL PROTECTION AGAINST THEM IN THE COUNTRY OF BRUNEI DARUSSALAM]
Full text linkWanita itu adalah tiang negara, jikalau wanita itu baik, maka baiklah negara dan jika mereka rosak, rosak pula sesebuah negara. Islam telah memberikan perhatian khusus terhadap wanita melalui syariahnya dan negara pula wajib melaksanakannya melalui peruntukan undang-undang, peraturan, fatwa dan polisi. Kertas kerja ini membincangkan tentang kedudukan wanita dalam Islam di samping hak mereka dalam konteks moden seperti keterlibatan wanita dalam alam pekerjaan, pelantikan hakim wanita, penglibatan wanita dalam kepimpinan negara, hak janda dan balu, hak pendidikan wanita dan berbagai isu lain yang berkaitan. Kesemuanya dikembalikan kepada perspektif Islam di samping melihat perlindungan yang diberikan oleh Negara Brunei Darussalam terhadap mereka. Kajian ini menggunakan kaedah kepustakaan untuk mendapatkan data-data berkaitan Islam dan wanita. Dokumen-dokumen yang berkaitan dengan isu-isu wanita dalam Negara Brunei Darussalam juga dianalisis untuk melihat perlaksanaan perlindungan terhadap mereka dalam konteks semasa. Kajian ini mendapati bahawa wanita mempunyai kedudukan yang istimewa dalam Islam dan Negara Brunei Darussalam mempunyai pendirian yang berlandaskan syarak dalam melindungi wanita dalam berbagai aspek sama ada di peringkat kebangsaan mahupun antarabangsa.
Women is the pillar of country. If the women are good, then the country is good and if they are broken, the country is also broken. Islam has given special attention to women through its sharia and the state is obliged to implement it through the provision of laws, regulations, fatwas and policies. This paper discusses the position of women in Islam in addition to their rights in the context of modernisation, such as the involvement of women in the workplace, the appointment of women judges, the involvement of women in national leadership, the rights of widows, women's education rights and various other related issues. All of them were returned to the perspective of Islam in addition to seeing the protection provided by Brunei Darussalam towards them. This study uses library methods to obtain data related to Islam and women. Documents related to women's issues in Brunei Darussalam were also analyzed to see the implementation of protection against them in the current context. This study found that women have a special position in Islam and Brunei Darussalam has a stance based on sharia in protecting women in various aspects whether at the national or international level
