A Needs Analysis of Arabic Communication Model for Public Relations Officers in the Healthcare Industry
Full text linkArabic communication possesses distinct characteristics that set it apart from other cultures. Understanding the specific aspects of Arabic communication is crucial, particularly for public relations officers who interact with Arab patients in healthcare settings. The increasing language and communication barriers between healthcare providers and Arab patients necessitate the involvement of public relations officers as mediators, interpreters, or facilitators. However, non-native Arabic speakers among public relations officers until now face misconception and confusion of task, lack of knowledge on Arabic communication and Arabic culture during their daily work at the healthcare centers. Therefore, this study aims to identify the challenges faced by public relation officers in healthcare centers when attending to Arab patients and to analyze the needs of these officers toward the development of a comprehensive Arabic communication model for public relations in the healthcare industry. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with five public relation officers from different healthcare centers in Kuala Lumpur. The collected data was analyzed using NVivo data analysis software version 12. This qualitative research incorporates Hutchinson and Waters\u27 (1987) theory of needs analysis, focusing on three key components: necessities, lacks, and wants. The findings reveal that public relations officers encounter difficulties due to the lack of references or guidelines on Arabic communication, an uncooperative working environment, language barriers in translating medical terminology, and the use of uncommon Arabic dialects. The study also highlights the PR officers\u27 pressing needs, which include the implementation of an Arabic communication model as a guiding framework for communication with Arab patients, as well as the enhancement of their communication skills and Arabic language proficiency to ensure high-quality service provision to Arab patients in healthcare centers

Analisis Perkahwinan Bawah Umur di Malaysia dari Perspektif Syariah: [An analysis of Child Marriage from Syariah Perspective]
No full textPerkahwinan bawah umur merupakan perkara yang berlaku bukan sahaja di Malaysia, bahkan di serata dunia. Perkahwinan bawah umur berlaku disebabkan oleh pelbagai faktor antaranya ialah masalah sosial yang berlaku di dalam masyarakat dan ianya juga dikatakan mendatangkan kesan negatif kepada kanak-kanak yang terlibat sehinggakan ramai pihak yang mempersoalkan hukum perkahwinan yang melibatkan kanak-kanak. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan hukum perkahwinan kanak-kanak dengan membincangkan mengenai kanak-kanak dari perspektif syarak dan juga konsep ahliyyah kanak-kanak dalam perkahwinan, seterusnya membuat kesimpulan mengenai perkahwinan kanak-kanak dari perspektif syariah. Kajian ini menggunakan kaedah analisis dokumen dengan menganalisis kitab-kitab fiqh muktabar dari pelbagai mazhab dan mengambil kira pandangan fuqahā’ daripada mazhab yang berbeza agar penerangan mengenai had umur minimum perkahwinan bagi kanak-kanak dapat dijelaskan dengan lebih terperinci. Artikel ini menyimpulkan bahawa syarat baligh bukanlah syarat sah perkahwinan, oleh itu kanak-kanak memiliki kelayakan untuk melangsungkan perkahwinan yang menjadikan hukum perkahwinan kanak-kanak itu adalah harus. Namun begitu, keharusan ini tidaklah bermakna bahawa ianya merupakan satu perkara yang digalakkan. Malah, keharusan ini tertakluk kepada maslahah dan mafsadah yang boleh terhasil daripada perkahwinan tersebut
Analisis Tematik Fatwa Kontemporari Semasa Pandemik Covid-19: [Thematic Analysis of Contemporary Fatwa During The Covid-19 Pandemic]
Full text linkWabak penyakit bukanlah sesuatu yang asing dalam sejarah manusia. Ia dicatatkan sejak sebelum masihi sehingga kini dan akan terus berlaku pada masa akan datang. Penularan COVID-19 dan pengisytiharannya sebagai pandemik pada 11 Mac 2020 telah menyebabkan pelbagai masalah dan menuntut perubahan dalam kehidupan manusia secara umum dan amalan beragama secara khusus. Perubahan pelaksanaan aktiviti keagamaan memerlukan para mufti mengeluarkan pandangan dan fatwa-fatwa baharu untuk menyelesaikan permasalahan yang dihadapi masyarakat terutamanya berkaitan ibadah, seiring dengan prosedur operasi standard (SOP) yang dikeluarkan pihak pemerintah. Fatwa-fatwa yang berbeza daripada amalan kebiasaan ini telah menimbulkan salah faham dalam kalangan asatizah dan masyarakat sehingga wujudnya golongan yang tidak bersetuju dengan fatwa dan SOP yang dikeluarkan, sekali gus memberi kesan buruk kepada penularan wabak COVID-19 dan meningkatkan kes jangkitan. Justeru, kajian ini ingin menganalisis fatwa-fatwa kontemporari semasa COVID-19 sebagai rujukan kepada asatizah dan masyarakat untuk memahami fatwa-fatwa yang telah diputuskan. Kajian ini menggunakan metodologi kualitatif dengan menjalankan analisis kandungan terhadap fatwa-fatwa berkaitan COVID-19 yang dikumpulkan dari pelbagai negara. Hasil kajian ini menunjukkan permasalahan utama masyarakat ketika COVID-19 berlaku adalah melibatkan urusan ibadah, selain daripada isu-isu lain yang melibatkan urusan mu\u27amalat.
Infectious diseases are not something new in human history. It has been recorded since before Christ until now and will continue to happen in the future. The transmission of COVID-19 and its declaration as a pandemic on March 11, 2020, have caused various problems and demanded changes in human life in general and religious practices in particular. Changes in the implementation of religious activities require the muftis to issue new views and fatwas to solve the problems faced by the community, especially concerning worship, in line with the standard operating procedures (SOP) issued by the government. Fatwas that are different from these customary practices have caused misunderstandings among asatizah and the community to the point that there are groups that do not agree with the fatwas and SOPs issued, thus having a negative impact on the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic and increasing cases of infection. Thus, this study wants to analyse the contemporary fatwas during COVID-19 as a reference for asatizah and the community to understand the fatwas that have been decided. This study uses a qualitative methodology by conducting a content analysis of fatwas related to COVID-19 collected from various countries. The results of this study show that the main problem of the community, when COVID-19 occurs, involves matters of worship, apart from other issues involving matters of mu\u27amalat
Application of Modern Collective Ijtihād Approach in Islamic Banking: Analysis of AAOIFI\u27s Juristic Methodology
Full text linkThe Islamic Banking industry has observed many disputes regarding the legality of the sharī῾ah status of different products due to the contradictions in different schools of thought. That created the need to standardize and harmonize the industry\u27s sharī῾ah practices. The Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI) has done tremendous work in standardizing and harmonizing different opinions of different schools. It designs products according to the needs and practices of the industry in a sharī῾ah-compliant way. Its sharī῾ah standards are developed through a rigorous and professional process. They are widely accepted globally in the Islamic banking industry. The development of the sharī῾ah standards is based on the application of the collective ijtihād approach. This collective ijtihād approach is not limited to a specific school of thought. Instead, it has benefited from all the schools and harmonized them, making it a unique collective ijtihād approach. Hence, to find AAOIFI’s collective ijtihād approach, the study objective is to extract the juristic methodology of AAOIFI sharī῾ah standards. The method used for the analysis is qualitative content analysis. A sample of six standards from the 57 standards is selected based on purposive sampling. The coding is done on these six sample standards to deduce the embedded themes and categories related to the juristic methodology applied by AAOIFI. The findings were further verified by interviewing five experts. Therefore, the data analysis through coding and validation through experts’ opinions, the study found that AAOIFI’s juristic methodology is lenient, flexible, maintains equilibrium, avoids injustice and is not confined to a specific school of thought. Further study is recommended to analyse the criteria on which AAOIFI prefers one opinion over others among the schools. The study\u27s results are expected to enhance the adoption of the AAOIFI’s collective ijtihād approach, globally, which will improve the standardization of the fatwa’ practices in the Islamic banking industry
