HATI SUHITA: BETWEEN PESANTREN TRADITION AND JAVANESE PHILISOPHY (IMMANUEL KAHN’S MORAL VALUE ANALYSIS)
Full text linkThis research examines the message implied by the novel Hati Suhita. A novel work born from pesantren about pesantren for Indonesia. This research uses the content analysis method. By referring to this method, researcher tries to understand the contents of the novel Hati Suhita so that the research can capture the implied message of the novel. Khilma Anis’s work combines between pesantren trditions and puppet characters that are full of meaning. The figure of a santri who has the characteristics of a tawadlu’ human being is very nicely depicted in the figure of Alina Suhita. The story of arranged marriages that are widely practiced in pesantren circle is explored in such a way. The slogan mikul duwur mendem jero, which is the mission of this novel, provides a message about how a wife described in Suhita must be able to raise the dignity of the family and must cover all family disgraces. The message should be interpreted broadly as an invitation to be able to respect parent in a narrow sense and elders, teachers, and leaders in a broader sense, and be able to cover the disgrace of other, so that there is peace, considering the many upheavals caused by the number of people who expose the disgrace of others, especially on social media. The invitation to apply the slogan mikul duwur mendem jero is expected to bring change in the midst of the hot phenomenon of indulgence in social media
PILOT VALIDATION OF INSTRUMENTS MEASURING ORGANISATIONAL COMMITMENT AND ORGANISATIONAL CITIZENSHIP BEHAVIOUR AMONG HOTEL EMPLOYEES
Full text linkThis study aims to evaluate the preliminary reliability and construct validity of questionnaire instruments developed to measure the constructs of Organisational Commitment (OC) and Organisational Citizenship Behaviour (OCB) among hotel employees in Melaka, Malaysia. A total of 100 respondents from three-star hotels participated in this pilot study through simple random sampling. The OC instrument was adapted from Meyer and Allen (1991), while the OCB instrument was based on Podsakoff et al. (2000). Reliability analysis using Cronbach’s Alpha produced values of 0.849 for OC and 0.733 for OCB. The Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin (KMO) and Bartlett’s tests confirmed the data’s suitability for factor analysis, with all items loading above 0.60. These results indicate that both instruments achieved satisfactory internal consistency and preliminary construct validity. The findings support the suitability of these instruments for a full-scale study in the Malaysian hotel sector
PEMIKIRAN AJARAN WAHDAH AL-WUJUD: SUATU KAJIAN EPISTEMOLOGI ISTILAH MENURUT PERSPEKTIF AHLI SUFI
Full text linkKajian ini membincangkan epistemologi istilah wahdah al-wujud melalui analisis komparatif terhadap definisi dan kefahaman para tokoh sufi klasik dan Nusantara. Konsep wahdah al-wujud merupakan salah satu terma paling signifikan dalam tradisi metafizik Islam dan sering disalah tafsirkan sebagai suatu fahaman hulul, ittihad atau panteisme. Melalui pendekatan kajian kualitatif berbentuk analisis teks, kajian ini menelusuri asas etimologi perkataan wahdah dan al-wujud seterusnya menghimpunkan pelbagai definisi yang dikemukakan oleh tokoh seperti Ibn Arabi, al-Qunawi, al-Jili, Dhu al-Nun al-Misri, al-Junayd, al-Hallaj, al-Bustami serta beberapa ulama Melayu seperti Muhammad Nafis al-Banjari, Daud al-Fatani dan Abdul Rahman Siddiq al-Banjari. Kajian mendapati bahawa epistemologi istilah ini berpusat pada tiga elemen utama: (i) hakikat wujud sebagai nisbah metafizik antara al-haqq dan alam, (ii) penyaksian (al-shudud) sebagai asas makrifah dan (iii) proses peleraian ego spiritual melalui fana dan baqa. Selain itu, kajian merumuskan bahawa istilah-istilah seperti al-haqiqah, al-ihsan, al-mushahadah dan khawas al-khawas berfungsi sebagai sinonim konseptual kepada wahdah al-wujud dengan nuansa semantik tertentu. Dapatan ini menunjukkan bahawa pemikiran wahdah al-wujud bukanlah suatu doktrin keserupaan atau kesatuan wujud secara literal, tetapi merupakan kerangka epistemologi kerohanian yang menegaskan tauhid secara mendalam melalui jalan penyaksian batin. Kajian ini menyumbang kepada pemahaman yang lebih tepat dan seimbang terhadap istilah metafizik sufi, seterusnya memperbetulkan salah tafsir yang berlaku dalam wacana kontemporari
IMPAK FILEM MENTEGA TERBANG DAN CABARAN DALAM PENDEKATAN DAKWAH: KAJIAN KEFAHAMAN TERHADAP MAHASISWA FAKULTI KEILMUAN ISLAM, UNIVERSITI MELAKA
Full text linkFilem mempunyai pengaruh yang kuat dan mampu mencorakkan tingkah laku orang ramai. Keistimewaan ini menyebabkan filem amat berguna dalam menyampaikan mesej dakwah Islam terutamanya dalam kalangan mahasiswa/i Institut Pengajian Tinggi (IPT). Namun di Malaysia kita ketandusan dalam menghasilkan filem Islam kerana tiada kerjasama di antara penggiat filem dan golongan agamawan serta tiada satu piawaian patuh syariah yang perlu diikuti oleh mana-mana penggiat filem dalam menghasilkan filem Islam. Oleh itu, kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengenalpasti impak Filem Mentega Terbang dan cabaran dalam pendekatan dakwah serta ianya satu kajian kefahaman terhadap mahasiswa Fakulti Keilmuan Islam, Universiti Melaka. Bagi mengenalpasti impak filem yang menggugat akidah umat Islam hari ini adalah, kajian menganalisis filem Mentega Terbang yang boleh ditanggapi sebagai filem yang meruntuhkan akidah. Kajian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif. Borang soal selidik dibuat dan diedarkan melalui secara atas talian ‘Google Form’ kepada mahasiswa/i Fakulti Keilmuan Islam, Universiti Melaka. Kemudian, segala data yang diperolehi daripada sampel akan dianalisis dengan menggunakan kaedah analisis kekerapan dan peratusan dengan menggunakan perisian Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Hasil dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa sampel dapat mengenalpasti impak dan cabaran yang dihadapi dalam masyarakat masa kini terhadap keruntuhan akidah yang disebabkan oleh filem yang bercanggah dengan syariat Islam. Kesimpulannya, dalam pembuatan filem yang berunsurkan perbandingan agama dan juga akidah umat Islam mestilah terlebih dahulu mendapatkan pandangan daripada pihak yang bertanggungjawab dalam menangani isu agama ini seperti Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia (JAKIM). Semua perkara ini perlu dibatasi agar mampu memberi impak yang baik kepada penonton dan dapat menjadi contoh serta teladan kepada generasi yang akan datang

Full text linkPSV amat penting untuk menyokong pembelajaran abad ke-21 (Yong, Y. T., Harozila Ramli & Noor Azlin Mohd, 2023). Kajian ini bertujuan untuk meneroka potensi penggunaan Live Canvas yang berasaskan multimedia sebagai alat digital yang direka untuk meningkatkan pengajaran dan pembelajaran dalam Pendidikan Seni Visual (PSV). Dengan menyediakan platform kanvas digital yang interaktif, Live Canvas memberi peluang kepada murid untuk meneroka dan mengembangkan kemahiran seni visual mereka secara lebih berkesan. Menurut Mostafa et al (2017), teknologi yangsemakin meluas penting digunakan dalam pendidikan khususnya PSV.

Platform ini menyokong pelaksanaan pengajaran secara bersemuka, dalam talian, dan hibrid, sambil menawarkan cadangan visual yang membantu murid memahami perspektif, ton, dan pencahayaan. Berdasarkan soal selidik yang dikumpulkan daripada guru-guru di SK South, Miri, penggunaan Live Canvas terbukti dapat mengurangkan beban dalam penyediaan bahan bantu mengajar dan meningkatkan interaksi antara guru dan murid. Secara keseluruhan, alat ini memberikan manfaat dalam memperkasa kreativiti dan kemahiran senidigital murid serta mempermudah pencapaian pengajaran yang lebih berkesan dalam mata pelajaran PSV
CHALLENGES IN HALAL CERTIFICATION AMONG TRADITIONAL FOOD VENDORS IN MELAKA: A CONCEPTUAL PERSPECTIVE
Full text linkHalal certification plays a crucial role in Malaysia’s food ecosystem, enhancing consumer trust and ensuring regulatory compliance. While large and formal food enterprises benefit from institutional support and streamlined certification processes, traditional food vendors—particularly those in heritage destinations such as Melaka—continue to face unique challenges. This conceptual paper examines the institutional, socioeconomic, and cultural barriers affecting halal certification among traditional vendors. Drawing on regulatory compliance theory, institutional support theory, and heritage authenticity frameworks, the paper proposes a conceptual model linking vendor attributes, authenticity concerns, and perceived certification burden to certification behaviour. The contribution of the study lies in addressing an overlooked intersection between halal governance and heritage gastronomy, while offering policy insights to support traditional vendors within Malaysia’s growing halal tourism landscape.
DIMENSIONS OF FINANCIAL WELL BEING AND FINANCIAL DISTRESS AMONG ENTREPRENEURS: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF MEASUREMENT TOOLS (I)
Full text linkFinancial well-being and financial distress among post pandemic entrepreneurs are critical issues that influence business resilience and sustainability. Financial well-being is generally determined by the level of financial knowledge, financial management skills, sound financial behaviour, and access to relevant financial services. Entrepreneurs with strong financial foundations are better able to make strategic decisions, control cash flow, and plan for the future of their businesses more effectively. Conversely, financial distress often stems from psychological and emotional stress, digital exclusion, weak financial literacy, and constraints in accessing formal financial services. This paper to identify the key dimensions of financial well-being and financial distress, and to evaluate the measurement instruments used in prior studies to assess both constructs. These factors not only disrupt business operations but also increase the risk of business failure. Furthermore, digital financial literacy has become essential in the post pandemic era, as the use of digital platforms for transactions and financing continues to dominate. Social financial influences from family, peers, and institutions also play a role in shaping entrepreneurs’ confidence and financial behaviour. This study adopts a systematic literature review methodology. Peer reviewed articles published between 2019 until 2025 were analysed, focusing on dimensions of financial well-being and distress. Meanwhile, financial self-efficacy strengthens entrepreneurs’ resilience in facing uncertainty. Overall, improving financial knowledge, access, and digital capabilities has been proven to enhance business performance while reducing vulnerability to financial stress

WEAKNESSES IN LAW ENFORCEMENT, PROCEDURAL JUSTICE AND LEGAL CHALLENGES IN DEALING WITH DEVIANT SEXUAL CONDUCT CASES IN MALAYSIA: A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW (SLR)
Full text linkThe “Spa Songsang” case, involving the release of 171 individuals after the court rejected a remand application due to procedural delay, has generated significant debate among the public, legal practitioners and Shariah scholars in Malaysia. This incident reflects deeper structural issues within the criminal justice system, particularly concerning procedural justice, evidentiary constraints and the coherence between civil law and Islamic legal principles. This study employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to analyse scholarly discussions on the enforcement of laws relating to deviant sexual conduct, procedural shortcomings in criminal investigations, jurisdictional conflicts and their implications from the perspective of Maqasid al-Shariah. By reviewing academic articles, legal commentaries and Shariah-based studies, the findings reveal that enforcement failures are not primarily caused by the absence of legal provisions, but rather by weaknesses in procedural compliance, evidentiary limitations and the lack of an integrated preventive framework. The study proposes comprehensive reforms involving procedural enhancement, capacity building for enforcement agencies and a maqasid-oriented preventive approach to address social morality issues more effectively
CYBERSECURITY AWARENESS LEVELS IN THE DIGITAL AGE: A STUDY OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
Full text linkThis study investigates university students' cybersecurity awareness in the context of increasing digital threats. As one of the most active user groups in cyberspace, students' level of knowledge is crucial to ensure online safety and reduce human-related vulnerabilities. Using a cross-sectional survey design and convenience sampling, data were collected from 142 respondents through a five-point Likert scale that assessed their familiarity with cybersecurity practices and terminology. The analysis revealed a high overall awareness level (Mean = 4.656, SD = 0.792), particularly among students aged 18–24. However, slightly lower awareness was observed among those aged 25–34, indicating the need for targeted educational efforts. While the findings offer valuable insights, the limited sample size restricts the generalizability of the results. Therefore, future studies should include a more diverse and extensive sample to reflect broader trends. The study underscores the importance of practical training and age-responsive cybersecurity programs to strengthen digital resilience among university students
