دلالات الواو والفاء في قصص السابقين من سورة الكهف وآثارهما في التناسب والمدة الزمانية: The Meanings of Waw and Fā’ in Surah al-Kaḥf stories and their effects on continuity and temporal period
No full textالملخص
لا يخلو حرف من الحروف في القرآن الكريم إلا وله معنى فريد يختاره الله تعالى اختيارا دقيقا؛ بحيث لا يمكن إسقاط الحرف أو تبديله بحرف آخر، وإلا سيتغير المعنى ويخالف مراد الله تعالى؛ لذلك، تتطرق هذه الدراسة إلى كشف دلالة الواو والفاء للعطف في آيات قصص السابقين من سورة الكهف وآثارهما في التناسب والمدة الزمانية، وتبنت الدراسة المنهج الوصفي التحليلي بتصميم تحليل المحتوى؛ بحيث تجمع البيانات من أربعة كتب في التفاسير اللغوية، وهي: الكشاف للزمخشري، والبحر المحيط لأبي حيان، وروح المعاني للألوسي، والتحرير والتنوير لابن عاشور، وتوصلت الدراسة إلى ورود الدلالات المختلفة لهذين الحرفين، وقد تشترك الدلالتان في موضع واحد من بعض الآيات المحددة، وأثرّت المعاني المتعددة لكلا الحرفين في التناسب بين حبكتي القصة أو القصتين غير أن المدة الزمانية تكون أقوى في حرف الفاء دون الواو.
الكلمات المفتاحية: الواو العاطفة، الفاء العاطفة، قصص السابقين، التناسب، المدة الزمانية.There is not a single letter in the Holy Quran that Allah has precisely chosen, although devoid of any unique meaning, can be dropped or replaced by another letter without risking a change in meaning and contradicting the will of Allah. In this regard, this study identifies the meanings of the particles of the conjunctions waw and fā’ in stories from Surah al-Kaḥf and their effects on continuity and temporal period. This study uses the descriptive-analytical method by means of content analysis where data were gathered from four Quranic commentary books: al-Kashshāf by al-Zamakhsharī, al-Baḥr al-Muḥīt by Abu Ḥayyān, Rauḥ al-Ma’ānī by al-‘Alūsī, and al-Taḥrīr wa al-Tanwīr by Ibn ’Āshūr. The findings reveal various meanings of these two particles whereby in some cases, two different meanings were found in a single occurrence in some verses. Meanings of both particles have also affected the continuity between two plots or stories, but the temporal period is more significant in the particle fā’ than waw
Perspektif penterjemahan karya sastera prosa Arab ke bahasa Melayu dalam kajian-kajian lepas: Perspective on the translation of Arabic prose literature into Malay in past research
Full text linkTranslating Arabic prose literature into Malay is not an easy task, especially when dealing with rhetoric. Translators frequently face difficulties in understanding figurative meaning when translating rhetoric in a literary text. Therefore, this research examines discourse on the translation of Arabic prose literature into Malay from past research. The research focuses on two aspects: i) Arabic-Malay translations of literature, which are often used as research material to observe the tendency of aspects of research by scholars, and ii) translation method and strategy for figurative language in Arabic-Malay translations of literary works. This research is designed in a qualitative form through the method of content analysis of books, journal articles, proceedings, and theses. Data is analysed in a descriptive manner in order to observe the perspective of translation of Arabic prose literature into Malay in past research. Kalīlah wa Dimnah, Riḥlah Ibn Baṭṭūṭah, Ḥikāyat Alf Laylah wa Laylah and Masrūr wa Maqrūr are Arabic-Malay literature translations that are often used as research material. Results of the research show that past research tends to analyse the translation of Arabic-Malay prose from the aspects of theory, method, and strategy used by translators in translation works. Choosing a theory, method, and strategy has a potential impact on producing good translations in the targeted language and even preserving literary values as intended precisely by the source text
Islamic music listening, spiritual well-being and burnout of employees in Islamic university: Mendengar musik Islam, kesejahteraan rohani dan kelelahan dalam kalangan pekerja di universiti Islam
Full text linkIn Malaysia, working in a university with Islamic vibes that boost spiritual well-being and reduce burnout needs to be supported with empirical evidence. The aim of the study is to examine the relationship between listening to Islamic music, spiritual well-being, and burnout among employees of public universities. A cross-sectional study using an online survey was conducted among 140 employees in a public university during the Covid-19 movement control order in Malaysia (April to May 2021). The set of questionnaires includes socio-demographic data, the types and frequency of music listened to by the employees, the Modified Maslach Inventory Burnout (MBI), the Duke University Religion Index (DUREL), and spiritual well-being (SWB). The data was analysed using SPSS version 26.0, and hypotheses were tested using the Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal Wallis and Spearman correlation. The majority of employees listened to music every day, and 51.4% of study participants listened to Islamic music or audio. The study participants have a high level of religiosity (DUREL Mean = 24.02, SD=±2.352), high spiritual well-being (SWB) (Mean= 109.84, SD=±9.014). For the burnout category, there was a low level of depersonalisation (Mean= 8.54, SD=±5.728), moderate emotional exhaustion (Mean=20.51, SD=±9.866), and high personal accomplishment (Mean=31.87, SD=±7.956) among employees. SWB correlates positively with personal accomplishment and negatively with emotional exhaustion and depersonalisation (p<.05). The present study highlights that listening to Islamic music has the potential to support the mental well-being and productivity of employees
Tinjauan tematik terhadap skop kajian al-Tafsīr al-Maqāṣidī: A thematic review of al-Tafsīr al-Maqāṣidī’s research scope
Full text linkAl-Tafsīr al-Maqāṣidī is a topic of research within the field of Quranic exegesis. Researchers in Quranic exegesis are actively discussing this field of knowledge. It is considered a means of ensuring that Islamic scholars remain steadfast in their interpretation of the verses of the Quran based on Maqāṣid al-Shāriʿ (the purpose of order from Allah) rather than on their own lusts or desires. Therefore, the purpose of this thematic review is to synthesise the literature on the research scope of al-Tafsīr al-Maqāṣidī using ATLAS.ti 8. This study employs two research methodologies: quantitative and qualitative. A keyword search followed by an inclusion criteria filter from Google Scholar, Research Gate, and Mendeley databases successfully identified 92 literary works. However, after the inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied, only 68 papers were selected for review. The thematic review conducted in this study identified 86 initial codes characterising the research scope of al-Tafsīr al-Maqāṣidī, which were then classified into 12 clusters. These clusters can be classified into two categories: concept clusters and application clusters. The study’s findings discovered that while the effort to construct the theory of al-Tafsīr al-Maqāṣidī has long been undertaken, it has not been considered mature. In terms of application, the application of al-Tafsīr al-Maqāṣidī to contemporary issues is the most popular scope of the study. The findings of this study may benefit future research by addressing research gaps that have not been addressed in order to complete this branch of Quranic exegesis
Islamic identity and religious support system for Muslim homelessness: Identiti Islam dan sokongan agama terhadap gelandangan Muslim
Full text linkTindakan dan usaha bagi pengukuhan identiti Muslim golongan bermasalah menerusi pembentukan sikap dan tingkahlaku yang seimbang dalam kalangan gelandangan didapati kurang berjaya kerana wujudnya faktor tret personaliti dan religiositi. Kecelaruan identiti daripada gaya pemikiran yang statik dan ketahanan diri lemah ini juga didakwa menyumbang kepada bertambahnya kelompok gelandangan. Justeru, penulisan ini bertujuan mengenal pasti faktor-faktor yang didapati signifikan terhadap pertambahan kelompok-kelompok gelandangan di Kuala Lumpur. Kajian ini berbentuk kualitatif yang menggunakan pendekatan tematik dalam penganalisisan data. Metode pengumpulan data adalah berdasarkan kaedah observasi terhadap gelandangan dan temu bual secara tidak berstruktur ke atas 10 orang informan yang terdiri daripada gelandangan Muslim. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan pengukuhan terhadap konsep identiti golongan identiti Muslim golongan bermasalah khususnya gelandangan adalah kurang berkesan. Kekurangan tersebut disebabkan oleh kurangnya kefahaman terhadap aspek agama dan kepercayaan akidah yang merencatkan penghayatan Islam sebagai amalan asas seseorang dalam kehidupan. Sokongan psiko-agama dalam kalangan kumpulan sosial yang sama juga turut menyumbang kepada kehidupan yang tidak berubah. Selain itu, pemikiran negatif dan budaya melepak yang dianggap pada awalnya sebagai perkara biasa mempunyai hubungan yang signifikan dengan fenomena gelandangan. Kajian ini memberi implikasi secara teoritikal terhadap perkembangan pengukuhan identiti golongan gelandangan Muslim secara umumnya dan boleh membantu pihak berautoriti menjalankan inisiatif yang lebih berkesan membantu golongan gelandangan di Malaysia secara keseluruhannya.Approaches and efforts to strengthen the Muslim identity of those dealing with the social issue by developing a balanced attitude and behaviour within homeless circles are found to be less effective because of personality traits and religious factors. Identity crises due to static thinking and lower resilience do give rise to homeless clusters. Thus, this writing is aimed at identifying factors that are significant to the rise in homelessness in Kuala Lumpur. This study applies a qualitative method using a thematic approach to data analysis. The data collection method is based on the observation of the homeless and unstructured interviews with 10 informants who are Muslim homeless to construct relevant data. The findings of the study indicate that the establishment of the identity concept for those who encounter social problems, especially those who are homeless, is less effective. Such shortcomings are attributed to the misconception of religious aspects and Islamic belief (‘aqīdah) that hinder the implementation from the Muslim perspective in terms of basic practise in their lives. Psycho-religious support among the same social groups also contributes to no change in their lives. Besides, negative thinking and loafing around, which are deemed normal, have a significant connection with the homeless phenomenon. This study has theoretical implications for the development of a better identity for homeless groups. This can help the authorities carry out more effective initiatives to help the homeless in Malaysia in its entirety

This study is qualitative research with an internal analysis approach (content analysis), which attempts to identify how a novelist inculcates messages of da‘wah in writing, specifically da‘wah towards non-Muslims, along with messages of any aspect that the novelist wants to convey. The results of this study found that the method used by Habiburrahman El Shirazi is to feature some non-Muslim characters in the novel, such as the family of Mr. Boutros Rafael Girgis (Maria, Yosoef, Mr. Boutros, Madame Nahed), and Alicia, a journalist who is from the United States. Through these characters, he included critical topics of discussion in the Islamic point of view that are widely misunderstood by some non-Muslims, namely the role of women in Islamic teachings, relations between husband and wife, the mixing of non-mahram men and women, and how Islam functions as a guide and provides blessings to the community, be it Muslim or non-Muslim. Similarly, through the plot of the story, the author of the novel conveys the Islamic message about the relationship between Muslims and non-Muslims. It is hoped that this study will open more minds to the fact that da‘wah can be conveyed effectively through writing and works of literature
Perbandingan penterjemahan Majāz Mursal al-Quran antara Yayasan Restu dengan al-Hidayah House of Quran: Comparison of Quranic synecdoche translation between Yayasan Restu and al-Hidayah House of Quran
Full text linkMajāz mursal or synecdoche, is one of the components of Arabic rhetoric, which is categorised as al-Majāz. The implicit meaning of synecdoche cannot be interpreted according to the sentence structure based on the words used because there is an expansion of the sense. A word-by-word transfer is often one of the problems in transferring meaning from the source language into the target language. Therefore, this study aims to compare the strategies used by the Restu Foundation and al-Hidayah House of Quran in translating synecdoche in Quranic discourse to see the equivalence of the actual meaning found in the Quran with the target text. This study is a literature review and a type of qualitative research as it adopts the methods of text content analysis and purpose-based sampling techniques. This study uses al-Burhān fī ‘Ulūm al-Qurān (2001) and al-Itqān fī ‘Ulūm al-Qurān (2003) as sources of data. The analysis of translation data for two (2) chosen corpus is based on explicit concepts introduced by Vinay and Darbelnet (1995) and the standard transfer operation of explicit proposed by Klaudy and Károly (2005). This study found that 13 out of 48 synecdoche translations differed in translation approach. Similarly, the use of a word-by-word approach gives no sense of meaning to the source text. Therefore, the approach should be avoided, as Arabic and Malay have different language uses. In order to achieve compatibility in the translation, the implicit meanings found in the Quranic synecdoche must be presented in the target text
Islamic economics education in Indonesia: Quranic view and epistemological problems analysis: Pendidikan ekonomi Islam di Indonesia: Pandangan al-Quran dan analisis masalah epistemologi
Full text linkResponding to the great potential of Shariah-based economics, various higher education institutions in Indonesia are trying to make breakthroughs by establishing a study programme in Islamic economics. The issue stems from the fact that Islamic Economics is offered as a course at several Indonesian higher education institutions. Because economics and shariah have distinct philosophical scopes, it will indirectly result in epistemological issues in the philosophy of science. These epistemological issues need to be answered and resolved to ensure that the outcomes of these educational programmes do not conflict with the goals for which they were established. This study aims to provide solutions to these epistemological problems, particularly in the institutional environment or higher education institutions, and to analyse the Quranic view as well as the position and application of Islamic economics between the influence of economics and Fiqh al-Mu‘āmalah. The methods of content analysis and library research were utilised in this qualitative-descriptive study. The study’s results indicated that Islamic economics is not just a system or norm, as people have previously suspected, but also a scientific discipline discovered through scientific methodology. The position of Islamic economics between the influence of economics and Fiqh al-Mu‘āmalah challenging to combine them. The fundamental difference between them, especially in the epistemological aspect, requires thinking to synergize and integrate into the discipline of Islamic economics
Building mental resilience based on the Quran during pandemic : Membangun kecekalan mental berasaskan ajaran al-Quran semasa pandemik
Full text linkCovid-19 which has spread globally, has entered its second year. According to statistics released by Worldometers, as of June 2021, the Covid-19 pandemic had caused 3,906,343 deaths out of more than 180 million cases. The data shows that out of 222 countries, Indonesia ranks 18th with 2,033,606 cases and 55,594 deaths. Since the pandemic has spread to various countries worldwide, it has caused mass uncertainty, confusion, and urgency, which continue today. Covid-19 has increasingly affected various aspects of life, specifically the psychological aspect, causing a rise in depression and acute anxiety that damages the community's mental health. Covid-19 has proven to be a stressor that tests human mental resilience in dealing with any problems arising from the crises facing them. This study aims to discover and study the verses of the Quran and its interpretations on the matters of plagues, disasters, and happenings related to such phenomena to identify the religious reasoning behind shaping human mental strength and resilience during this pandemic. This study applies a content analysis approach or method and uses the thematic interpretation method (Tafsīr al-Mawḍū‘ī). The results found that the Quran had shown examples of calamities in the form of plagues, God's promise on the certainty of problems, forms of problems, and human attitude towards said problems and calamities, leading to the conclusion that the descriptions written in the Quran can be used to build human psychological readiness in any condition, especially during this pandemic
The role of media television to emerge patriotism during conflict: Evidence from Palestine TV: Peranan televisyen sebagai media untuk menjanakan patriotisme semasa konflik: Bukti dari TV Palestin
Full text linkDrawing upon observations regarding the crisis in Palestine, the media is sometimes the only source of information consumed by society. This raises the critical question of how the Palestinian state media generates awareness of societal issues, such as the patriotism of citizens as a sense of devotion to one’s country. This study examines whether the state media TV in Palestine contributes to existing patriotism because such a contribution should be explored separately. For this purpose, we first analyse the strategies employed by Palestine TV in delivering news during the period 2020–2021. Second, we examine whether the information framed in the state media effectively promotes Palestinian patriotism to the target audience. To discuss this issue, we use agenda-setting theories at the first level, wherein we describe the power of media to persuade viewers, influence public opinion, and construct a hierarchy of being patriotic. The results revealed that the news portrayed on Palestine TV enhanced Palestinian patriotism. This finding implies that the media can augment citizens’ views on patriotism. This study provides insights into future investigations on the role of media in times of crisis, particularly related to the Israeli occupation of Palestine and the impacts of its occupation on Palestinians
