No full textMedicine is one of the most difficult academic course that faces many psychological challenges. A high level of self-esteem is needed to cope with such challenges, and religiosity is seen as one of the approaches to increase one’s self esteem especially among Muslim medical students. This study aims to measure the level of self esteem among medical students and its association with religiosity. This online cross-sectional study was conducted among 178 International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) Kuantan medical students using validated 10-items IIUM Religiosity Scale (IIUMReIS), and 10-items Rosenberg Self esteem Scale (RSES). Descriptive statistics was used to measure the level of self esteem while chi-square, Mann-Whitney U test, Spearman’s correlation, univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to explore the association between self esteem with the predictors. More than half of the students (58.5%) have a high level of self esteem. They scored an average of 35 (IQR = 6) in terms of religiosity. Those with higher religiosity were predicted to have significantly high self esteem (r = 0.345). Other significant factor includes, frequency of voluntary prayer where daily practice has 0.3 lower odds of having low self esteem. (95% CI = 0.11, 0.85, p = 0.05) Majority of the students have a high level of self esteem. Implications suggest the role of religiosity and the impact of voluntary prayer. Early and consistent strengthening of self esteem via motivational, spiritual and religious programs may be advisable

التفسير الصوفي الإشاري ومقارنته بتفسير الإسماعيلية الباطنية والتفسير الصوفي النظري والتفسير العلمي الإشاري: [Tafsir Sufi Ishari and its Comparison with Tafsir al-Batiniah, Tafsir Sufi of Philosophy and Tafsir Scientific Ishari]
No full textTafsir Sufi al-Isyari is the commentary related to the implied symbol behind the utterance of the Quran and not the explicit meanings. The purpose of this research is to define Tafsir Sufi al-Isyari and compare it with Tafsir Batiniah, Tafsir Sufi of Philosophy, and Tafsir Scientific Ishari. The researcher used comparison and critic methods to conduct this research. As a result, the opinion of Sufism experts about Tafsir Sufi al-Isyari is different with the exegesis of the Quran by Batiniah’s group. This is because, Batiniah’s group did not acknowledge outwardly of the Quran but they only acknowledge inwardly. Hence, they interpret the Quran internally by their bad intentions. However, Sufism expert recognize the outwardly of the Quran as they recognize the internal of the Quran. Moreover, this research also found that Tafsir Sufi of Philosophy is built by premise of philosophy that contain in the mind of Sufi at the early stage, then the Quranic verses is stated after that. As for Tafsir Sufi al-Isyari is not related to premise of philosophy, but it is related to the spiritual training which are performed by Sufi members. Besides that, Tafsir Scientific al-Isyari is the interpretation that contain signals related to the nature that can be found in the al-Quran. It is also the interpretation by symbol of modern knowledge and new discoveries. In contrast with Tafsir Sufi al-Isyari, it is the interpretation by hidden symbol that comes from the heart of righteousness, kindness and knowledge during recitation of the Quran.
التفسير الصوفي الإشاري هو التفسير الذي يعتمد على استبطان خفايا الألفاظ دون توقف عند حدود ظواهرها المألوفة ومعانيها القاموسية. يهدف هذا البحث إلى تعريف التفسير الصوفي الإشاري ومقارنته بتفسير الإسماعيلية الباطنية والتفسير الصوفي النظري والتفسير العلمي الإشاري. وأما منهج هذه الدراسة فيعتمد على منهج المقارن والتحليلي النقدي. ومن نتائج هذه الدراسة أن التفسير الإشاري عند الصوفية يختلف فيما يراه الباطنية، ذلك لأن الباطنية لم يعترفوا بظاهر القرآن واعترفوا بالباطن فقط، وتعمدوا أن يفسروا الباطن على ما يتفق نواياهم السيئة. وأما الصوفية فقد اعترفوا بظاهر القرآن ولم يجحدوه، كما اعترفوا بباطنه. وبينت الدراسة أن التفسير الصوفي النظري ينبني على مقدمات فلسفية تنقدح في ذهن الصوفي أولا، ثم يُنزل القرآن عليها بعد ذلك. وأما التفسير الإشاري فلا يرتكز على مقدمات فلسفية، بل يرتكز على رياضة روحية يأخذ بها الصوفي نفسه. وكشفت الدراسة أن التفسير العلمي الإشاري هو الإشارات الجلية التي تتضمنها الآيات الكونية في القرآن الكريم والتي تشير إشارات واضحة إلى كثير من العلوم الحديثة الاكتشاف. وأما التفسير الصوفي الإشاري فهو الإشارات الخفية التي يدركها أهل التقوى والصلاح والعلم عند تلاوة القرآن الكريم، فتكون مواجيد لها معان
The Roles of Corporate Governance Towards Value-Oriented Islamic Finance Practices
Get PDFThis paper argues that while significant concerns have been invoked on the material aspects of Islamic finance such as financial growth and products sophistication, it is nevertheless observed that equal emphasizes have not been given on social objectives of Islamic Financial Institutions (IFIs) as part of its value-oriented frameworks. In the absence of extensive discourse on corporate governance and its roles on CSR, this paper attempts to highlight the importance of corporate governance in stimulating the social function of IFIs within the Islamic ethical dimension paradigm. This paper aims at expanding the normative objective function of IFIs by advocating corporate social responsibility (CSR) via strengthening the corporate governance framework. Unlike the western concept of corporate governance, which is based on the western business morality that derived from “secular humanist”, this paper suggests that corporate governance in IFIs is founded on the epistemological aspect of Tawhid, Shari’ah and ethics. This paper employs theoretical and case study research method to develop understanding and to advocate the notion of value oriented Islamic finance practices. The study utilizes descriptive, comparative and critical analysis approaches in extracting and analyzing the information

Sakarin Dalam Jeruk Buah Di Pasaran Semasa Malaysia Dan Hubungannya Dengan Konsep Halalan Thoyyiban: [Saccharin in Fruit-Pickle in Malaysian Market and Its Relationship with the Concept of Halalan Thoyyiban]
Get PDFMuslims are required to select halal and good (thoyyiban) food, which comprises the safety aspect. Halal and safety-related issues of food are often being focussed by Muslim people in this country. One of the discussed issues is the safety level of saccharin consumption as an artificial sweetener. This study analysed saccharin from scientific perspectives and its relationships with human health. Then, this study connected the presence of saccharin in fruit-pickle samples with the concept of halalan thoyyiban. In the first phase, this study used qualitative methodologies which includes historical, content analysis, and observation method. As for the second phase, this study used a quantitative methodology based on experiments in the laboratory on six fruit-pickle samples. Findings show that saccharin is produced synthetically and does not contain calories and any nutrients. Saccharin is safe if taken according to the safe limit set by WHO that is 5mg/kg (of body weight) per day. Excessive consumption either contributes or stimulates cancer (tumour promoter). Meanwhile, the quantitative study found that five from six analysed samples of fruit pickles contain saccharin. The safety level measurement towards human between the weight of 20kg up to 50kg that consumes 100g of pickles per day is however still below the safe limit set by WHO. This study concludes that saccharin is halal but cannot be categorised under thoyyiban as it does not contain any nutrient and calory, can give negative effects to health if taken over the suggested amount

Pola Pemakanan Dan Kesannya Terhadap Gaya Hidup Dan Pemikiran Individu: Analisis Terhadap Surah Al-Kahfi: [Dietary Patterns and Their Impact on Lifestyle and Individual Thoughts: Analysis on Surah al-Kahfi]
Get PDFThe choice of diet is important in creating an excellent human capital. Islam has given the best guideline in choosing food so that it can be truly halal, good (thoyyiban), most quality and nutritious. Diet has a great impact on individual’s physical, mental and spiritual health. This is illustrated through cave dwellers (Ashabul Kahfi), a group of young people who have exceptional physical capabilities as well as mental and spiritual strengths that are far ahead of any members of their society. According to some Tafseer scholars, diet pattern of the cave dwellers is explained in surah al-Kahfi. Study on halal diet has been widely practiced by researchers, but study on good, most nutritious and most quality diet from an Islamic perspective are still inadequate. This situation is a disadvantage to the human being. This is because the philosophy of nutritional knowledge taught in the Quran and hadith is scientifically proven to bring benefits and prevent harm to individual physical and spiritual health. This study uses content analysis method where analysis is conducted on books of Tafseer and hadith as well as journal articles that discuss the diet styles of today\u27s society and its impact on spiritual and physical health. The results show that issues on food quality and dietary patterns greatly affect the spiritual and physical strength of an individual.

Pemilihan pola pemakanan merupakan satu perkara penting bagi melahirkan modal insan yang cemerlang. Islam telah memberi garis panduan terbaik dalam memilih makanan agar ia dapat dipastikan benar-benar halal, baik serta paling berkualiti dan berkhasiat. Pemakanan yang diambil memberi impak yang besar kepada kesihatan fizikal, mental dan spiritual seseorang. Ini terbukti melalui kisah Ashabul Kahfi, iaitu sekumpulan pemuda yang bukan hanya memiliki keupayaan fizikal yang luar biasa, tetapi juga kekuatan mental dan spiritual yang jauh ke hadapan berbanding dengan anggota masyarakat pada zaman mereka. Menurut setengah ahli tafsir, dalam surah al-Kahfi dijelaskan tentang bagaimana corak pemakanan yang diambil oleh penghuni gua (Ashabul Kahfi). Kajian berkaitan pemakanan halal telah banyak dilakukan oleh para pengkaji, tetapi kajian berkaitan pemakanan baik, paling berkhasiat dan berkualiti dari perspektif Islam kurang diberi perhatian. Situasi ini sangat merugikan manusia. Hal ini kerana falsafah ilmu pemakanan yang diajarkan dalam al-Quran dan hadis sememangnya dapat dibuktikan secara saintifik memberi banyak manfaat serta mencegah pelbagai mudarat kepada kesihatan fizikal dan spiritual individu. Kajian ini menggunakan kaedah analisis kandungan terhadap kitab-kitab tafsir dan hadis serta artikel jurnal yang membincangkan tentang gaya pemakanan masyarakat hari ini dan kesannya terhadap tahap kesihatan spiritual dan fizikal mereka. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa beberapa isu berkaitan pemakanan seperti kualiti makanan dan pola pemakanan sangat mempengaruhi kekuatan spiritual dan fizikal seseorang individu
Terjemahan Makna Kalimah Al-Muzn Dan Yasbahun: Satu Penilaian Semula Berdasarkan Kaedah Tafsir Ilmi: [The Translation Of The Meaning Of The Word Al-Muzn And Yasbahun: An Evaluation Based On The Scientific Exegesis]
Get PDFSome of the problems found in the translation of the meaning of the Holy Qur’an cause a word or verse of Qur’an to not be translated accurately. The major factor contributing to the problem is the limited skills in the fields related to the Qur’an. Therefore revaluation of the existing translations of the Qur’an become a necessity in view of the Qur’an is a miracle that lasted until the end of time. This study aims to review the translation of the meaning of the words Al-Muzn dan yasbahun based on the scientific exegesis. Using library research methodology, the study was conducted by analyzing the translation of the meaning of the Holy Qur’an (Tafsir Pimpinan ar-Rahman dan Terjemahan al-Hidayah al-Quran al-Karim) regarding the creation of the sky focused on rainfall and the movement of objects in the sky by scientific exegesis. Analysis of the samples showed that the existing translations of the Qur’an didn’t make difference for some words related to the rainfall and make exegesis for word yasbahun related to movement of objects in the sky. Results showed that the value addition is applied to the existing translations of the meaning of Qur’anic verses related to the creation of the sky; the specialization of the general translation of the meaning of the word Al-Muzn and the use of the translation of the original meaning for the word yasbahun without exegesis in the sky creation.

Beberapa permasalahan yang terdapat dalam penterjemahan makna al-Quran menyebabkan sesuatu perkataan atau ayat al-Quran tidak diterjemahkan dengan tepat. Faktor utama yang menyumbang kepada permasalahan tersebut ialah terbatasnya kemahiran dalam ilmu-ilmu yang berkaitan dengan al-Quran. Oleh yang demikian penilaian semula terjemahan al-Quran sedia ada adalah satu keperluan memandangkan al-Quran merupakan mukjizat yang kekal hingga ke akhir zaman.
