Tinjauan sistematik terhadap faktor penyucian lembu dalam Hindu: A systematic review on the veneration of cows in Hinduism
Full text linkThe prohibition of killing and eating cows among the Hindus are generally well known. This paper aims to discuss the status of the cow in Hinduism through analysing past related literatures. This paper employs content analysis method through Systematic Literature Review. Articles are collected from Scopus and Dimensions database. 16 articles are screened through the process of identification, examination and eligibility. A systematic analysis focuses on factors of cow veneration in Hinduism. Three major factors were evident in this study namely religion, economy and politic. In the first phase, veneration of the cow is more of a religious issue due to the influence of ahimsa principle introduced in Jainism. In the later phase, it is more of an economic factor where cows were protected and not killed for their benefits to mankind. Whereas now, veneration of the cow is more related to political factors in defending the status quo of the Hindus
Metode akidah Ḥasan al-Bannā terhadap sifat khabariyyah Allah SWT: Ḥasan al-Bannā’s faith method for Allah’s khabariyyah attributes
Full text linkḤasan al-Bannā proposed his preferred faith method by applying the Salafiyyah faith method over the Khalaf faith method in understanding Allah’s khabariyyah attributes. He discussed these issues in his writings. This study aims to determine Ḥasan al-Bannā's faith method in applying ithbāt or tafwīḍ ways to Allah Almighty’s attributes in khabariyyah-related issues. This study employed a qualitative design by analysing Ḥasan al-Bannā's written works of faith based on his faith method. His three works of faith are al-‘Aqā’id pamphlet, pieces of writing on beliefs in Al-Manār magazine, and Allah fī al-‘Aqīdah al-Islāmiyyah pamphlet. The results show that the Ḥasan al-Bannā’s creed in applying the ithbāt method in his written works of faith was modest, as supported by the Salafiyyah stream, rather than the tafwīḍ method considered by the Khalaf stream as the Salaf generation method
Faktor luaran dan hubungannya terhadap pencapaian ujian pengesanan dan jantina pelajar dalam kemahiran menulis bahasa Arab di Institusi Pengajian Tinggi Malaysia: The relationship between external factors on the achievement of assessment tests and gender of students in Arabic writing skills in Malaysian Institutions of Higher Learning
Full text linkThis study was conducted to examine the relationship between external factors and the achievement of assessment tests and the gender of students in Arabic writing skills in Malaysian Institutions of Higher Learning. A total of 140 respondents from four Malaysian higher learning institutions (MHLI) were selected as the study sample, namely Sultan Zainal Abidin University (90 respondents), International Islamic University College of Selangor (25 respondents), Sultan Ahmad Shah Islamic University College (9 respondents), and Sultan Ismail Petra International Islamic College (16 respondents). The data obtained were analysed using Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS) version 22.0 software. An inferential analysis method, namely Pearson correlation, was used to find the relationship between two different study variables, namely dependent variables and independent variables. The findings showed that there was no significant relationship between external factors and Arabic writing skills based on assessment tests. However, this relationship was found to be significant based on the gender of the students. This was because the correlation between external factors and student achievement test scores was (r = -0.062, n = 140, p = 0.463), while the correlation between external factors and the gender of students was (r = 0.181, n = 140, p = 0.032). This finding indicates that the relationship between external factors and the assessment test was irrelevant in affecting Arabic writing skills, and was not significant. However, the researchers found that external factors can significantly affect the Arabic writing skills of MHLI students based on gender through the analysis of the study
Morals of doctor according to Abū Bakr al-Rāzī’s view: Moral doktor dalam pandangan Abū Bakr al-Rāzī
Full text linkIslamic civilization ever got a doctor in the medical fields known as Rhazes to the West, he was labelled “al-mulḥid” due to his controversial thoughts on prophetic concepts. The doctor was born in Al-Rayy on 250 H/864 AD; he, as the writer of “al-Ḥāwī Fī al-Ṭibb” did not feel content with the treatment of human disease that relied on techniques or certain methods of treatment alone, yet it was to reach a sense of adequacy. He believed that medication treatments required morals in which a doctor should attentively mind a patient. Therefore, Al-Rāzī decided to do such a noble thing by composing a conscientious book entitled “Akhlāq al-Ṭabīb” as a treatise for his students. This study was conducted through qualitative research. This study aims to briefly dissect the primal foundation of al-Rāzī's thought, which produced the moral concept of doctors in an era that was arrantly early, long before the existence of medical ethics. This study reveals that within the essences of al-Rāzī himself were the theocentric paradigm and the anthropocentric paradigm, and those were accumulated at once; ergo, the epistemological roots of al-Rāzī's thought led to religion, science, and philosophy. Through a good elaboration of science, philosophy, and religion in the concept of tawakkul and good character towards poor people who suffered from diseases, al-Rāzī had laid some of the moral basics of doctors, which were not applied to the whole, far ahead of existing legal norms in the current era, which can be explored in his book

Mystical experience in the men of the cave: A Lacanian reading of al-Kahf: Pengalaman mistik lelaki dalam Gua: Bacaan Lacanian terhadap surah al-Kahf
Full text linkIn his contribution to psychoanalysis, Jacques Lacan introduces three orders according to which every psychoanalytic phenomenon can be described. These three orders are the imaginary, the symbolic, and the real. The imaginary is the order in which the subject thinks of everything as his/her own. For the subject, there is no distinction between the other and the subject itself. In the symbolic order, the subject comes to realise that there is a gap between him or her and the other. S/he, then, starts to feel a lack that, for the rest of his/her life, the subject tries to fill in. The real is considered the most important order in which the subject tears away from the symbolic and tries to experience, once again, the unity it had in the imaginary order. It is in this phase that the subject experiences what is known as jouissance, or 'pleasure in pain'. The present study tries to look at the eighteenth chapter of the Holy Quran, al-Kahf (The Cave), in the light of psychoanalysis studies and Lacan's theories in order to analyse the mystical experience that the Men of the Cave go through to reach their final jouissance
