تحليل صواتي لقواعد المائعات في رواية السوسي عن أبي عمرو: Phonological analysis for liquids rules in al-Sūsī of Abī ‘Amr narration
يسعى هذا البحث إلى دراسة صوتية حديثة لقواعد المائعات في رواية السوسي عن أبي عمرو؛ إذ يتطور العلم سريعا وينبغي لنا أن نعزز أقوال القدامى اللغويين بطرح شكل البحث الجديد في إطار البحث العلمي. ويحاول البحث أن يقدم قواعد وآراء جديدة لقواعد المائعات في القرآن الكريم، دون أن يترك ما فعل القُرّاء واللغويون القدامى، بل يأتي بقواعد حديثة تناسب الواقع العلمي الآن. ومن خلال الأمثلة القرآنية، سيصف البحث كل صوت على حده من خلال تحديد سماته المميزّة، مع اقتراح قواعد صواتية صورية )الطّابع الصّوريّ( وصياغتها، فضلاً عن تفسيرها )الطّابع غير الصّوريّ(. ويهدف هذا البحث إلى بيان تحليل الأصوات المائعة الموجودة في الأمثلة القرآنية، فضلاً عن تحليل السمات المميزة التي تؤثر على الأصوات المائعة فيها. ويحاول هذا البحث الإجابة على سؤالين، أولهما: ما الأصوات المائعة الموجودة في الأمثلة القرآنية، وثانيهما :كيف تلعب السمات المميّزة دورها في التأثير على الأصوات المائعة في الآيات القرآنية؟ واعتمد البحث على المنهج التحليلي في وصف قواعد المائعات. وتوصل البحث إلى أن سمة [± متكرر] تلعب دوراً مهماً في إبدال الأصوات المائعة، كما أن سمة [± جانبي] تلعب دورها في قواعد المائعات. وتظهر الاشتقاقات للأمثلة القرآنية دور سمتي [± متكرر] و[± جانبي] في تحويل صوت الراء إلى اللام وكذلك تحويل صوت اللام إلى الراء في رواية السوسي عن أبي عمرو.This research seeks a modern phonetic study of the rules of fluids in al-Sūsī’s narration on the authority of Abī ‘Amr. As science is developing rapidly, we should reinforce the old saying of linguists by presenting a new form of research, i.e., generative phonological analysis within the framework of scientific research. More specifically, the study tries to present new rules and opinions for the rules of fluids in the Holy Quran without leaving what the old readers and linguists did, rather presents or suggests phonological rules proposed by Chomsky and Halle instead of mere descriptive explanations. It aims to explain the analysis of fluid sounds found in Quranic verses as well as the distinctive features that affect the fluid sounds in them. Alternatively, the research questions are: What are the fluid sounds found in the Quranic verses, and how do the distinctive features play their role in influencing the fluid sounds in the Quranic verses? The research relied on the analytical approach of Chomsky and Halle in describing the rules of fluid sounds. The research concluded that repeated and side features play important roles in the substitution and rules of fluid sounds. The derivations of the Quranic verses show the role of two traits [± repeated] and [± side] in converting the sound of “rā’” to “lām”, as well as converting the sound of “lām” to “rā’”, in al-Sūsī’s narration on the authority of Abī Amr
Isu dan cabaran dalam pengurusan program bantuan modal zakat untuk usahawan asnaf: Zakat capital assistance programme for asnaf entrepreneurs: Issues and challenges
Zakat Capital Assistance Program (ZCAP) is a method employed to allocate zakat funds with the aim of enhancing the quality of life of the recipients. It entails providing financial aid without requiring the recipients to repay the funds. Despite the considerable advantages offered by this program, the number of applications for zakat assistance in the capital assistance category is comparatively lower than those for cash assistance. Consequently, the purpose of this research is to investigate the factors and challenges associated with the ZCAP from the perspective of both zakat officers and recipients. This study employs a qualitative approach, utilizing a structured interview tool to engage with the participants. Through interviews conducted with zakat officials and selected recipients, it was determined that attitudes, knowledge regarding financial records, and the structure of the ZCAP itself are among the influential factors that determine the success or failure of the program. The research findings indicate that the ZCAP has the potential to assist the asnaf, although there is room for improvement in order to achieve a more profound impact through this initiative. This study aims to provide valuable insights for the enhancement of the ZCAP implementation, ultimately fostering the emergence of successful Muslim entrepreneurs
Geometrics in the illumination of Terengganu Quran manuscript (L.M.N.T 2002.1): Geometri dalam iluminasi mashaf al-Quran Terengganu (L.M.N.T 2002.1)
This article aims to identify the basic geometric structures found in the illumination of the Terengganu Quran Manuscript (L.M.N.T 2002.1) collection. The study focuses on the appreciation of art, employing a formalistic approach to visually examine the evident basic geometric structures present in the illumination of the Quran Manuscript (L.M.N.T 2002.1). The research methodology involved observing the illumination of the Quran Manuscript (L.M.N.T 2002.1) and analysing the basic geometric structures based on formalistic aspects such as elements of art and principles of design through formalistic visual analysis using Adobe Illustrator software. In general, the illumination image displays the shape of a rosette or medallion. This character is also viewed from the perspective of cosmology, whereby it is a resemblance of a glowing star and the shining sun. This is appropriate with the concept of lighting or Shamsa. The findings of this research indicated some views on basic geometry in the illumination of the Quran Manuscript (L.M.N.T 2002.1) as an introduction to new knowledge in the field of art in general
Martabat Pendekatan Tafsir Mawḍū‘ī dalam Penulisan Tafsir di Era Globalisasi: The Dignity of al-Mawḍū‘ī’s Approach to Tafsir in the Writing of Tafsir in the Era of Globalization
Al-Tafsīr al-mawḍū‘ī also referred to as thematic tafsīr was introduced by tafsīr experts in the early 1970s. Following that, this interpretation method evolved through many ways pioneered by al-mawḍū‘ī interpretation luminaries such as al-Farmāwī, al-Kūmmī, ‘Abd al-Sattār, Muṣṭafā Muslim, al-Khālidī, Ziauddin Sardar, and others. Although the technique given by these tafsīr figures intends to generate systematic al-mawḍū‘ī tafsīr literature, these approaches can also be applied to address difficulties in the globalization period. Therefore, this study took the initiative to describe the al-mawḍū‘ī interpretation approach of tafsīr scholars and further discuss these approaches in facing the era of globalization. This study collects data from document sources and analyzes them using the content analysis method. According to the findings of the study, al-mawḍū‘ī tafsīr experts apply basic procedures in al-mawḍū‘ī tafsīr by establishing themes, collecting verses, determining the relationship between verses and themes, and summarizing verses and themes. Meanwhile, the al-mawḍū‘ī interpretation approach can be enabled to address social challenges involving issues of faith, social development, and environmental sustainability in the age of globalization. This study has a great impact on the implementation of establishing a more sustainable community and strengthening civil society’s ambitions
The Relevance of al-Kay’s Treatment According to the Perspective of Prophetic Hadith: Relevansi Rawatan al-Kay menurut Perspektif Hadis
This article aims to analyze the healing method with al-kay, which refers to the hadith perspective in two different contexts: prohibition and conditional permission. By applying a qualitative research method, this article finds that one popular al-kay product today is laser-based circumcision. This circumcision is one of the modern ways in which the skin of the foreskin is cut using a unique cutting tool, i.e., a cautery or diathermy, which replaces knives and scissors to cut the skin. The device’s tip is heated up to 1000 degrees Celsius with electrical power, and cuts are made by burning the skin while closing the blood vessels. While from the point of view of Muslim scholars, the treatment of al-kay is a must if in an emergency, and there is no other option provided a specialist doctor recommends it. The status of this law changes to ḥarām (prohibited) when the patient is convinced that with the hot iron, there is a healing sacred as the sacredness of spells (superstition). This is what the Prophet (PBUH) meant that did not like it and called it contrary to tawakkul (trust in God)

Nilai bertuhan dalam ilmu kejuruteraan: Sorotan ayat al-Quran serta penghayatannya berdasarkan Tafsīr Fī Zilāl al-Qur’ān karya Sayyid Quṭb (1906-1966): Divine values in engineering science: Highlights of Quranic verses and its appreciation based on Tafsīr Fī Zilāl al-Qur’ān by Sayyid Quṭb (1906-1966)
The Quran has been the main source of knowledge for all humankind throughout the ages. Engineering is one of the branches of knowledge that impacts technology development. There are verses in the Quran that explain this engineering science indirectly. The stories about engineering in the Quran can also provide valuable lessons for humans and serve as preparation for the afterlife. However, discussions about the Quranic verses concerning various branches in the engineering field and their influence on the lives of engineers still need to be completed in journals. Therefore, this study presents the verses and stories in the field of engineering as well as their effects on the divine values in the life of an engineer. Library research is used to achieve the objective by referring to the Quran and the book Tafsīr Fī Zilāl al-Qur’ān as primary references. Writings on general history, education, and engineering are also consulted to achieve the objective. This study finds that the Quranic verses significantly affect the divine values of individuals involved in this engineering field and positively impact the formation of morals as a Muslim. This effect is closely related to the appreciation of the Quranic verses and efforts to practice them daily. The Quran was revealed as a guide and provision for humans to worship Allah. This writing can also open the eyes of every Muslim to the expansive interpretation of the Quran and convince their hearts that the Quran is a miracle that does not contradict scientific theories
The role of mainstream media and Christian organisations in shaping South Korean views on Islam and Muslims: A historical study: Peranan media arus perdana dan organisasi Kristian dalam membentuk pandangan masyarakat Korea Selatan terhadap agama dan komuniti Islam: Satu kajian sejarah
The media in the West has portrayed Islam negatively after tragic events like 9/11, accusing them of being barbaric and terrorists. Not only has this portrayal affected the views of Western people but also those in Far Eastern countries like Japan and South Korea. In South Korea, the anti-Muslim stance of media and Christian organizations has deteriorated further the reputation of Islam in the eyes of the general population. Utilizing qualitative and library research methods, this paper seeks to explore the longstanding relationship between Islam and South Korea, starting with a historical overview then followed by the attitude of South Korean media and Christian organisations towards Islam in the country which aim to tarnish their image and prevent their acceptance in the country. Moving to the 21st century, the paper will then give insight on the South Korean young generation’s views on Islam, and the role played by social platforms such as YouTube that spread Islamic related content as an attempt to counter Islamophobia. The findings will show that South Korean media, influenced by Western media, and Christian organizations, contributed significantly to the negative perception of Islam in the country. Notwithstanding this, there arise a new generation of South Koreans, who, out of their curiosity, seeks out and disseminate accurate information about Islam via social media hence, made a positive impact from their sharing. This paper ends with a few recommendations for combating the misleading information about Islam spread by the media and Christian organisations in South Korea
