    No full text
    Surgery can easily cure and prevent blindness due to cataract. However, cataract still poses a major public health problem as the single most common cause of global blindness. Identifying the barriers to access cataract surgery is essential to effectively address this problem. By utilising the interpretative phenomenological analysis approach in this study, we identified barriers at the personal, primary care and specialist care level. Based on these findings, a model is designed to better understand and improve the strategy to address the barriers to improve the uptake of cataract surgery in order to prevent cataract blindness in Malaysia

    No full text
    The members own the company by virtue of their shareholding and the directors manage and exercise control over the company’s affairs through the company’s board meeting. Despite of segregation of powers and roles between the members and directors, there has been inclination on the part of the members to participate to greater extent in the company’s affairs. This paper aims to establish the legal position as between the directors and members that reflect separation of control and ownership in the company under the common law and the Malaysian law. The method used in this study is content analysis of the reported Malaysian and international law cases as well as the statutory provisions in order to examine the legal position established under the common law, the previous Companies Act 1965 and the newly introduced Companies Act 2016. The study reveals that the separation between the two has long been recognised and upheld by the common law as well as the Malaysian Acts. The introduction of the section 195 of the Companies Act 2016 however allows members to raise their voice in relation to matters which are within the powers of directors, hence the separation becomes slightly vague. In the absence of the latest judicial decisions to test the application of section 195, further review on its application may be required in order to determine methods to measure if a members’ recommendation is truly made in the best interests of the company

    No full text
    Recently, Malaysians were alarmed with the shocking news of a marriage between 11-year-old Thai girl and a 41-year-old Kelantanese man that took place in Thailand. Though the marriage was valid as it fulfilled all the requirements under Islamic Law, it could not be registered in Malaysia without the consent of a Syariah Court as the bride was below the minimum age permitted by Malaysian Law. The man was prosecuted and received a penalty, but the girl remains as a wife. Being a wife, she would shoulder a lot of responsibilities and must also be able to sacrifice a lot of things. It was reported that the man allowed the girl to continue religious schooling, but it was declined by the latter. Without sufficient knowledge and experience, the girl’s future would solely depend on her husband and the parent. Thus, this research paper aims to study on the issue of child marriages in Malaysia and how it would affect children legally and physiologically. This paper also intends to examine on the right to education with special reference to married children. This research paper adopts qualitative methodology by examining relevant statutory provisions, decided cases, international treaties and articles from selected journals. It is therefore suggested that special care should be placed on the married children, particularly on their right to education and their right to be able to hold the future at their own hands

    The understanding of facts in judicial process: An analysis from the Islamic perspective

    No full text
    The importance of understanding the factual reality (fahm al-waqi‘) has been extensively discussed by Muslim jurists in their discussion pertaining to Islamic legal theory. It has been accepted as an important component for the practice of ijtihad and recognized as a valid justification for renewal of ijtihad. In light of the above, yet in a different setting, the paper discusses the concept of al-da ‘wa and the significance of understanding the fact of a legal dispute (fahm al-da‘wa) in Islamic trial process. It examines the significance of fahm alda‘wa by the trial judge in the trial process. The study proves that the understanding of the facts of the cases assumes a very critical position in the trial process, the laxity of which will affect the propriety of judicial decisions and thus leading to injustice. Further, the paper argues that the kind of facts that need to be ascertained and understood by the trial judges are not limited to the specific occasions of the cases, rather the general circumstances and the reality of the living conditions of the times need also to be taken into consideration. Finally, the paper avers that the requirement to understand the facts of the cases necessitates a kind of undertaking in the nature of ijtihad which is to be carried out by all judges regardless of their status whether they are mujtahid (jurist) or muqallid (imitator)

    Concepts and implementation of talaqqi and musyafahah methods in learning the Quran

    No full text
    Talaqqi musyafahah is a method of studying the Quran face to face where the delivery and teaching method is directly from a teacher to a student. It is a method inherited by the Prophet s.a.w from Gabriel a.s and subsequently implemented by Rasulullah s.a.w to the companions. The companions continued this pedagogy until it is inherited as a learning system of the Quran until today. The development of the educational system has featured various Quranic learning systems, including distance learning, as well as through the internet which is just a virtual learning via video in a unidirectional approach or written basis. This modern method has raised the question of how far it meets the talaqqi musyafahah system taught by the Prophet s.a.w. This study is aimed at explaining the true concept and importance of talaqqi musyafahah as well as the method of implementation in the study of the Quran. This qualitative study selected descriptive methods by collecting and analyzing the opinions of the early and current scholars through books, journals, and authoritative websites with respect to the topic of debate. The study found that talaqqi musyafahah is very important in the process of teaching the Quran because there are several words in the Quran that have different pronunciation compared to their written forms such as as the word(فم (in al-Dzariyat: 47. Also, there is a special method in Imam Hafs recitation technique such as reciting the word (ها َرا َج ْم ,(َisymam or roum for the word (اَّمنَ ْ أَت (in Yusuf: 11, and tashil baina baina recitation for the word (سج (in Fussilat: 44, which cannot be learned by only referring to their writings in the mushaf and any books of tajwid. It requires talaqqi and musyafahah from a qualified teacher. It is also important to realize the continuity of sanad which is one of the components in reciting the Quran. In conclusion, any methods of learning the Quran must conform to the talaqqi and musyafahah methods taught by Rasuluullah s.a.w

    Applications of maqasid al-shariah in Islamic finance an analysis

    No full text
    Considering the indispensability of wealth in human life, Islam instead of negating puts special emphasis on wealth. Even preservation of wealth is regarded as one of the ma q āsid al Sharīʻah (objectives of Sharīʻah) in Islam. To guide human being in this regard, Islam has prescribed as well as proscribed necessary injunctions. This paper aims to shed light on three crucial sectors pertaining to Islamic Finance namely Islamic Banking, Islamic Capital Market and Takaful (Insurance) in the light of maq āsid al Sharīʻah. The author painstakingly endeavors to prove that Islamic jurists, in delineating maq āsid al Sharīʻah regarding property, has intensely explicated the issues of acquisition, investment, mobilization and expenditure of property with special emphasis on justice, transparency, proscription against illegal grabbing etc. He advances the argument that proper compliance with the principles of Islamic Finance inevitably ensures the realization of both specific and general maq āsid al Sharīʻah. Moreover, the paper splendidly spells out that edicts of Islamic Finance encompass the dynamism to warrant mobility in investment and mobilization of Sharīʻah permitted property, ensure justice and fair distribution of property, sweep away illegal grabbing, preserve property and improve the faith and character of concerned persons

    Air Susu ibu (ASI) adalah sumber gizi terbaik dan paling sempurna untuk bayi terutama bayi prematur. ASI mengandung zat gizi lengkap untuk pertumbuhan dan perkembangan optimal dari segi mental dan fisik bayi terutama pada enam bulan pertama kehidupannya. Keistimewaan dan kelebihan susu ibu tidak hanya diakui dalam Islam bahkan telah diakui oleh peneliti dari ahli medis, sains, dan laktasi. Penulisan artikel ini bertujuan membahas kebutuhan bank susu patuh syariah kepada bayi prematur. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan menggunakan metode analisis isi yang terfokus kepada kitab turath, buku, jurnal, artikel dan laporan. Hasil diskusi menemukan bahwa susu ibu mengandung banyak khasiat yang diperlukan oleh bayi prematur. Jika dibandingkan dengan susu formula, kandungan nutrisi ASI jauh lebih baik. Ada beberapa alasan mengapa sekarang ASI menjadi kebutuhan utama di Malaysia salah satunya untuk bayi prematur. Dengan ini, pemerintah berupaya memenuhi kebutuhan ASI dengan mendirikan bank susu patuh syariah untuk ibu dengan masalah menyusui. Hasil diskusi menemukan bahwa Islam tidak hanya mengakui khasiat ASI, juga menekankan masalah hubungan mahram ibu dan anak susuan. Oleh sebab itu, bank susu yang didirikan harus sesuai dengan pedoman yang ditetapkan oleh para fuqaha dan mazhab Imam Syafi'i. Selain untuk kebutuhan, bank susu juga memberi maslahat bagi umat Islam dengan melihat peningkatan statistik kelahiran bayi prematur di Malaysia. Dalam kondisi tahap darurat inilah mengapa bank susu patuh syariah perlu didirikan. Bank susu yang akan didirikan dapat menghindari terjadinya masalah tumpang tindih mahram susuan sesuai prinsip Maqasid al-Shari'ah dalam pemeliharaan kesucian mahram susuan
