Pertubuhan Jamaah Islah Malaysia and Good Governance (1991-2012)
Get PDF‘Good governance’ agenda promoted by international institutions and other aid agencies as part of the globalisation phenomenon, proposes amongst others, the active role of a civil society as part of the process towards development. The effective functioning of a civil society is believed to facilitate the achievement of ‘good’ governance. Currently, the dynamism of global civil society movements has shifted to a new dimension to incorporate culture and faiths into the discourse on development, economy, politics and governance in a more progressive approach. Faith and religion, in tandem, have been identified empirically as another motivator for the civil society activism, hence, its distinctive role in development and good governance. Such phenomenon has been addressed in the many circles of academia. This paper will try to explore the role of faith in mobilizing civil society towards the achievement of what is known as ‘good governance’ in Malaysia by looking into Pertubuhan Jamaah Islah Malaysia (JIM) as its case study
Arabic as a Second Language Listening Comprehension: Instruction and Assessment
Get PDFThe purpose of this paper is to present some instructional ideas for listening comprehension in Arabic as a second language (ASL) and their alignment with listening assessment. Among the suggestions are using spoken texts as instructional input, introducing the micro- and macro markers and providing students with authentic listening texts. In addition, the paper also highlights the importance of awareness-raising on the differences between spoken and written language among ASL learners. To expand the extant of the scope of possible instructional ideas for ASL listening, the discussion on pre-teaching of listening input and its connection to learners’ schemata is also included. To consolidate the discussion on instructional ideas, communicative reciprocal listening instruction is recommended for ASL listening instruction. Apart from instructional ideas, suggestions on how to develop a ‘considerate’ ASL listening assessment that is in alignment with classroom instruction are also presented in this paper

Pengintegrasian Sains Tauhidik: Persepsi Peserta: [Tauhidic Science Integrative: Participants’ Perception]
Get PDFChemistry is a branch of science pioneered by Muslim scholars. However, secularism has separated science from Islamic teachings, thus deviating man from Allah. Tauhidic Science Seminar was held to disseminate knowledge and findings between researchers from science background and Islamic study to students and lecturers in the Faculty of Science and Technology, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. Questionaires were distributed to the participants after the seminar to obtain their understanding and perception of integrating science and Islam. Results indicate that 93.8% from 65 respondents have high affinity to science but only 63.1% were exposed to integration of science and Islam. Furthermore, 63.1% respondents understand the meaning of secularism and 69.2% realized that chemical elements have been mentioned in the Holy Quran. This study also indicates more than 90% respondents agree science and Islam are linked in an integrated manner. In conclusion, integration of science and Islam or Tauhidic Science drives us to explore and learn about nature through science activities based on Islam with guidance by the Holy Quran and hadith. Therefore, more proactive and holistic efforts need to be done to educate and strengthen the understanding of Tauhidic Science to students as early as in primary schools.

Kimia merupakan salah satu cabang ilmu sains yang telah lama dipelopori oleh ilmuwan Islam. Walau bagaimanapun, sekularisme telah menjadikan sains terpinggir dari Islam, apatah lagi merapatkan hubungan di antara manusia dan Pencipta. Seminar Sains Tauhidik telah diadakan untuk menghebahkan pengetahuan dan penemuan oleh penyelidik dari latar belakang sains dan pengajian Islam kepada pelajar dan pensyarah di Fakulti Sains dan Teknologi, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. Borang soal selidik tentang pemahaman dan persepsi berkenaan penyepaduan sains dan Islam telah diagihkan kepada peserta selepas tamat seminar. Hasil kajian mendapati 93.8% responden meminati sains tetapi hanya 63.1% pernah didedahkan kepada pembelajaran berintegrasi sains dan Islam. Selain itu, 63.1% memahami maksud sekularisme dan 69.2% menyedari unsur kimia ada disebut di dalam al-Quran. Kajian ini juga menunjukkan bahawa lebih 90% responden bersetuju sains dan Islam dikaitkan dengan cara bersepadu. Kesimpulannya, integrasi sains dan Islam atau Sains Tauhidik memandu kita meneroka dan mempelajari tentang alam ini melalui aktiviti sains berlandaskan Islam berpandukan al-Quran dan hadis. Oleh itu, usaha-usaha yang lebih proaktif dan holistik perlu dilakukan untuk mendidik dan mengukuhkan kefahaman Sains Tauhidik kepada pelajar seawal di sekolah rendah lagi

Analisis Wacana Metafora Kontrastif Bahasa Melayu dan Arab dari Perspektif Praktis Sosial: Contrastive Metaphorical Discourse Analysis of the Malay and Arabic Language From A Social Practice Perspective
Get PDFWacana metafora bahasa Arab yang telah melalui tempoh masa yang panjang telah menyebabkan terhasilnya pelbagai kajian dan penerbitan buku dilakukan oleh para sarjana Arab dan bukan Arab. Namun kebanyakan kajian tersebut hanya memfokuskan kepada aspek retorika bahasa Arab dalam membantu masyarakat Arab dan bukan Arab mengkaji ilmu-ilmu Islam dan amat kurang kajian yang dijalankan dalam wacana metafora bahasa Melayu dan perbandingannya dengan wacana metafora bahasa Arab. Kajian ini membincangkan analisa wacana metapora kontrastif dalam bahasa Arab dan bahasa Melayu dari aspek pengkelasan dan praktis sosial yang tersirat di sebalik penggunaannya dalam kedua-dua bahasa ini. Perspektif praktis sosial adalah salah satu komponen kerangka teoritis Analisis Wacana Kritis yang digunakan dalam kajian ini. Dapatan kajian menjelaskan kepentingan mengetahui dan memahami pengkelasan wacana metafora bahasa Arab dan bahasa Melayu. Seterusnya dapatan kajian ini juga menegaskan bahawa perlunya usaha menyingkap dan membuat perbandingan pengkelasan wacana metapora dalam bahasa Melayu dan bahasa Arab. Ini akan memudahkan pelajar Melayu memahami secara lebih mendalam penggunaan aspek bahasa ini dalam amalan dan praktis sosial intra bahasa khususnya dari perspektif bentuk praktis sosial yang tersirat di sebalik wacana metafora kedua-dua bahasa ini.The study of metaphorical discourse in Arabic rhetoric has gone through a long period of time that witnessed enormous books and meticulous studies carried out by a large number of Arab and non-Arab scholars. Nevertheless, these rigorous studies that had enriched the study of Arabic rhetoric only served the study of Islam for Arab and non-Arab muslims. Less has been done on the study of Malay metaphorical discourse and the comparison between both. This paper mainly attempts to discuss a contrastive study of metaphorical discourse in Arabic and Malay rhetoric from the classification and social practices aspects that are implicitly found in the metaphorical discourses in both languages. The perspective of social practice, which is one of the components of Critical Discourse Analysis is aplied in this study. The finding of this study dictates the importance of knowing and understanding the classification of metaphorical discourses in Arabic as well as in Malay rhetoric. It further affirms that efforts are needed to unveil the contrastive metaphorical discourse between Arabic and Malay language, especially in terms of intra-social practices that are obviously embedded in metaphorical discourses in both languages. This in turn, will enhance the pursuit of knowledge among Malay students to undertand metaphorical discourse effectively
The Study of Knowledge, Attitude and Practice towards Female Circumcision among Female Patients at O&G Outpatient Department, Hospital Ampang, Selangor, Malaysia
Get PDFFemale circumcision in Malaysia involves drawing a drop of blood and causing brief pain by nicking the tip of the clitoris or prepuce with a pen-knife or sharp tools. The objective of this paper is to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice of female circumcision among patients who attended the outpatient Obstetrics and Gynaecology clinic in Hospital Ampang. A cross-sectional questionnaire study using sequential sampling of patients aged > 18-year-old attending the clinic. 80% (315) thought circumcision was performed mainly for religious reasons. The perceived benefits include control of sexual desire among women 78% (111). Responding to the question “would you circumcise your daughter”, 97% (380) said they would. There was no significance correlation between respondents being circumcised and their views on having their daughters circumcised (correlation coefficient, r=0.2693). 94.3% (379) believed that circumcision had no complications. 79% (318) of the respondents chose to have the circumcision between 0-6 months. 73% (293) chose a medical doctor as the preferred person to do the circumcision. 72% (289) of the respondents stated that they did not actually know how circumcision is performed. 63% (62) of the non-Muslims had never heard of female circumcision. Although there is no specific statement in the Al-Quran to validate such a practice, majority performed circumcision based on religious grounds. Cultural influence may play a role in why and how circumcision is performed as the practice varies between communities and countries. A medical doctor is the preferred person to perform circumcision although there is no formal training for such a practice and in some countries, it is illegal. Despite wanting to have their daughters circumcised, only few mothers knew how exactly it is done
