Moderation (Wasatiyah) paradigm in the Malay world : Thoughts of M. Kamal Hassan
No full textM. Kamal Hassan, fondly known as Prof. Kamal is a symbolic academician in a wellversed personality of virtue, adab (good manners), and hikmah (wisdom). He has been
accredited one of the intellectual leaders of Madarasah al-Wasatiyah or movement of
moderation and ideologue of Islamization of knowledge in the contemporary Malay
world. He is also one of the leading figures in the area of contemporary Islamic thought
and Malay civilization. His literature is vocal on the issue of Islam and modernity,
Wasatiyah or Islamic moderation, Islamicization of human knowledge, Integrated
Islamic education, secularism and secular education, the relationship between East and
West, human rights and civil society. His metaphysical views have been often quoted in
the literature of Muslim intellectuals and activists in Southeast Asia. Moreover, his
philosophical thought of a justly balanced approach of Wasatiyah is also worth
mention. The noteworthy highlights in his literature and speech promote Muslim
leaders and scholars to examine: what collective moral responsibility they have, as a
moderate nation or Ummah Wasat, to build a better world and a better nation—Khaira
Ummah. There were many reasons for the intellectual decline of Muslims and the
Muslim world. One of the reasons by moving away from the moderate and
comprehensive understanding of the Qur’an. There is undoubtedly an urgent need to
retract the philosophy of Ummah Wasat based on divine knowledge rooted in
humanistic and societal life. Hence, Kamal Hassan fetched the thoughts in his lectures,
articles, and books to relevantize the philosophy of moderation in Islam
The Superiority of Supercritical Fluid Extraction Over Steam Distillation and Solvent Extraction Methods for the Extraction of Aroma from Salacca zalacca (Gaertn.) Voss
No full textSalacca zalacca (Gaertn.) Voss or snake fruit is a species of palm tree native to Southwest Java
and North Sumatra in Indonesia. It is known as one of the exotic fruits in Malaysia. It has a pleasant
pineapple, pear and banana-like aromas. Due to its pleasant aroma, Salacca zalacca has potential
in the perfumery and pharmaceutical industries. New extraction techniques were introduced in this
study to overcome conventional methods limitations such as supercritical fluid extraction (SFE). This
technique is available to extract aroma of plants and it is rapidly gaining attention due to its superior
benefits over the conventional extraction methods. In this study, the volatile aroma of Salacca zalacca
was extracted by steam distillation, solvents extraction with hexane, diethyl ether and dichloromethane
(DCM) and SFE. Carbon dioxide was the supercritical fluid for the SFE. The efficiency and percentage
yield of these extracts were compared. The percentage Yields of SFE extracts were higher
(10 MPa, 30°C: 0.2577 %; 25 MPa, 30°C: 0.2375 %; 30 MPa, 30°C: 0.2721 %) than the steam distillation
(0.1855 %), diethyl ether (0.5692 %), hexane (0.0511 %) and DCM (0.1358 %) solvent extracts.
However, SFE produced a lower yield (40 MPa, 70°C: 0.2721 %) than the diethyl ether solvent extraction
(0.5692 %) but SFE was found to be more efficient and environmentally friendly
Factors motivating the establishment of waqf institution towards poverty alleviation among muslim ummah in Oyo State, South West, Nigeria
No full textThis article explores the factors motivating the establishment of waqf institution towards poverty
alleviation among Muslim Ummah in Oyo state, South West, Nigeria. The importance of waqf
institutions is to take care of the needs of the less privileged in the society. To achieve the objective
of this study, the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) was selected to accommodate such as attitude,
subjective norm and perceived behavioural control as predictors of waqf institutions establishment in
Oyo state, Nigeria. Based on this, three hypotheses were formulated for the study. This study adopts
a quantitative research where a sample was drawn from the population of Islamic scholar (Alfa) in
Oyo state, Nigeria. A number of 218 Islamic scholars were randomly selected to respond to the survey
which was designed to examine the relationship between the predictors (attitude, subjective norm and
perceived behavioural control) and the establishment of waqf institution as a way of poverty
alleviation. Data analysis using statistical package for social science (SPSS) version 22 software and
statistical analyses like Pearson correlation and Regression was employed to achieve the objective of
this study. The findings supported the three formulated hypotheses, which indicate that attitude,
subjective norm and perceived behavioural control have a positive significant relationship towards the
establishment of waqf institution as a way of poverty alleviation. This study adds to the existing
literature of waqf and suggests opportunities for future research
Change of mindset of Dayak indigenous peoples in west Borneo towards indigenous forests as a management of oil palm plantations and oil palm plantations wastes
No full textRecent economic development efforts have been intensively carried out in the oil palm plantation business in
various regions of Indonesia. The development of oil palm plantations, particularly in the regions, West Kalimantan,
raises problems for the natural environment and local, national and global communities. Since the opening of oil
palm plantations in 1980 in West Kalimantan, which since 1982 has been managed with the pattern of Inti Rakyat
(PIR-Bun), slowly but surely changed the mindset of the Dayak indigenous people towards jungles or Ulayat lands.
Its influence is increasingly felt in the behavior and social life of the local community. Dayaks are experiencing a
"world view" change in the forest. Those who since time immemorial are friendly with nature and uphold traditional
principles, now their lives are on the one hand leaving ancestral traditions and following the trend of oil palm
plantations, but on the other hand their lives are increasingly cornered by the existence of oil palm plantations and
management of oil palm plantations wastes. Permissive attitude and pragmatism of the ruling party has resulted in
changes in the "world view" of the local community. They no longer respect nature or the forest as the "sacred
realm". The community is increasingly pragmatic, hedonistic and consumptive. Customs and local wisdom in the
form of family values, mutual cooperation, loyalty to the community, humility, sincerity, respect for nature and
others fade. The jungle and the 'Tembawang forest' as customary rights are largely left to the story

of 105 employees. The questionnaire consisting of 28 questions was applied in May, 2019. The
questionnaire discusses four points concerning with; facing the poverty, reducing the
unemployment, distributing the wealth and achieving the equality. The study exposes that the total
average of the results coming from investigating the role of the Zakat in achieving the social
security in terms of facing the poverty, reducing the unemployment, distributing the wealth and

%. The term, achieving the equality is the third one and it gets 82.4%, finally, the term,
distributing the wealth is fourth one and it gets 80.8%. The study also reveals that there are no
statistically significant differences at the level of significance (0.05) between the average
estimates of the sample members of the study in terms of discussing the role of the zakat in
achieving the social security from the point of view of the management and supervision staff of
the Palestinian zakat institutions. The main reason beyond this belongs to the variables; age,
qualification, work duration and service. Hence, the study comes out with some
recommendations, most notably that the strategic vision in the work of the zakat institutions in
Palestine should include plans, programs and components necessary for the process of achieving
community security, and give more attention to the programs of the zakat institutions in the use
of large-scale funds to achieve continuous improvement in their work to contribute to a fair achievement. For wealth, taking equity and equity into account in accordance with the needs of
