The soul is eager to achieve its own self-realization at the same time self-hatred of limits and limits until it is blessed with happiness and gives others the blessing with security, serenity and justice. Security is a human obsession, but it is the greatest concern in humans since they are on Earth. Security from others this is what we call social security today. Through this, we deduce that social security has been, and will continue to be, a cherished hope and a supreme goal that man seeks in his life. It is enough to constantly review the problems that have plagued the human being since his existence, so that we can understand his fears and the reason for his quest for peace and tranquility. If we stop around the general concept of social security we found it includes all aspects of life that concern contemporary man. Social security includes the subsistence, economic and life stability of the citizen so that he feels that he has fixed pillars in his society reserved for himself and his family and his money and his entity and attachment to his land and homeland. Stability in the life of the individual is necessary to keep him mentally stable. Let us know that there are things if they found, the lives of societies of all kinds are stabilized.

    The study of religion emphasized on the objectivity and scientific approaches. Different approaches have been used in interfaith dialogue within the Islamic framework in order to create a harmonious platform of discussion between religions. Religious polemic, within an extreme platform, could risk the build of society at many levels as well as affecting religious tolerance among society with different backgrounds of races and religions. In the context of Malaysia, the implementation of interfaith dialogue has been a common practice organized by different organizations which involved common values and different approaches. This paper is to significantly address the guidelines in conducting interfaith dialogue in the context of Malaysia and the adaptation of those approaches to improve religious tolerance in Malaysia. The methodology adopted for this paper is the qualitative approach which included literature review, observation as well as particular interviews with three people who represented different religious organizations. The finding shows that even though interfaith dialogue has been acknowledged as the best platform for religious discussions, there are still possible improvements and suggestions to be implemented in its establishment

    A criminal attempt is an offence in traditional laws as it may cause either damage or the danger of damage. Nonetheless, uncertainty arises with regards to cybercrimes arguably due to the lack of critical attention paid to attempt of committing cybercrime by other researchers in this area. As such, this paper intends to analyse the position of the criminal attempt which is explicitly stipulated in section 7 of the Computer Crimes Act 1997 (CCA). Further, this paper aims to demonstrate related legal issues pertaining to criminal attempt in cybercrimes including mere preparation and its relation to criminal attempts of cybercrimes, mens rea in committing criminal attempt, recklessness in criminal attempt of cybercrimes as well as impossibility defences for cybercrime attempts. In so doing, section 7 of the CCA will be critically scrutinised in solving those issues. Apart from that, the paper will also examine relevant decided cases on criminal attempts for traditional criminal offences. To sum up, merely preparation in cybercrime shall be an attempt, and mens rea is required in a criminal attempt to commit cybercrime but in certain situations knowledge of the risk is enough to be an attempt to commit cybercrime offences

    Belief in the Hereafter signs is part of the Pillars of Belief in the Hereafter. Likewise, Belief in the Hereafter is a part of the Pillars of Faith. Similarly, in the Sunnah, as there are sound hadiths, there are weak hadiths. What makes the weak hadiths sound is the collection of Hadith’s phrases and chains of narration scattered among the books of Sunnah, and knowing the phrases of the Hadith which are in the Two Sahihs (Sound collection of Hadiths) or one of them. The research talks about some signs of the Hereafter mentioned in the Hadiths, verifying them according to their references and knowing the phrases which are not in the two Sahihs and then check whether they are sound or not. Among the aims of the research is to state the signs of the Hereafter and relate them to the reality we live. With people’s involvement in the overt and covert temptations, it is incumbent to be armed with knowledge. The research was conducted based on the inductive analytical methodology to induce all chains of narrators and phrases in the Hadith of Awf bin Malik, and to analyze them to find out which of Hadith of Awf bin Malik’s narration chains and phrases are sound or weak. The results have shown that belief in the signs of the Hereafter is part of the belief in the unseen without which no one’s faith is valid. In addition, it is obligatory to follow what is mentioned in Hadith either the abundantly narrated or the unique, and that the Hadith of Awf bin Malik is sound. Moreover, Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) has witnessed three signs of the Hereafter mentioned in his Hadith

    Herbs and medicinal plants are major ingredients in traditional or folk medicine for many countries of the world, including Malaysia. This study evaluated the potential of the leaf extract in different solvent polarities and drying methods of Aquilaria malaccensis, in scavenging free radicals and inhibiting the enzyme α-glucosidase as well as antimicrobial activities. Both methanol and ethanol extracts in oven dry method were efficient solvents to extract the antioxidant constituents of A. malaccensis. To analyze α-glucosidase inhibitory activity, the methanol extracts of A. malaccensis in air dry method exhibited the highest activity with an IC50 value of 196.31 μg/mL. In addition, for the antimicrobial activity, each extract was tested by a serial two-fold dilution method against selected Gram-positive bacteria and Gram-negative bacteria, and this suggested that hexane in oven dry method possessed the maximum antimicrobial activity against the gram-positive bacteria tested. It is suggested that the antioxidant and antidiabetic properties were exhibited most in a polar solvent (MEOH) whether in air dry or oven dry method with no significant difference. In contrary with antimicrobial which was efficient in a non-polar solvent (HEX) in oven dry method. These results indicate that A. malaccensis is a promising source as herbal medicine

    Metadiscourse in writing is the linguistic signals and expressions used by a writer to organise a text while connecting with readers. This paper reports a preliminary study conducted to discover the existence of metadiscourse markers from interactive resources category, in good and weak persuasive essays written by year two undergraduate students at a selected public university in Malaysia. In the interpersonal model of metadiscourse introduced by Hyland (2005), the two main categories of metadiscourse are interactive and interactional resources. This study focuses on interactive metadiscourse because the markers in this category assists a writer to help the flow of ideas in a text. A collection of undergraduate essays from a public university in Malaysia was collected to create two corpora of 269 good 271 and weak essays, yielding a total number of 143, 407 and 143, 285 tokens respectively. These essays were taken from the participants’ final examination answer scripts for English course at the end of second semester of their study. The metadiscourse markers in the students’ essays were searched with the aid of a concordance software, WordSmith 5.0. More items of metadiscourse markers are found in good essays as compared to the weaker essays. This finding shows that the different quality of essays and their ratings affect the frequency of metadiscourse markers in the essays. However, based on the sub-categories of metadiscourse, only two sub-categories (transitions and code glosses) were found higher in the good essays while the other three (frame markers, endophoric markers and evidentials) were higher in the weak essays. Thus, the level of awareness and needs in using such metadiscourse markers are different between these two corpora. This study is hoped to path way for further studies on the use of metadiscourse in Malaysian undergraduates’ essays

    This paper, which is part of a larger study investigating the discourse in an English for medical purpose (EMP) classroom, discusses the characteristics of teacher talk in the classroom. Teacher talk is of major importance to the students as it serves a major source of students’ language input and subsequently their output. Teacher talk affects students’ learning and performance. Classroom interaction is considered a complex process in which the students and the teachers are in a state of dynamic interactions. Therefore, poor management of classroom interaction affects learning process in several ways such as ineffective/inappropriate instructions by the teacher and failure to engage in meaning-making processes. The data in this study were obtained through an interview with the teacher who is currently teaching an EMP course in one of the medical colleges in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The course aims to prepare students to interact successfully in real –life situations as well as in medical contexts. The teacher talk in EMP classroom is simplified and modified to suit the level of the students. The teacher offered clarification in form of repetition and paraphrasing. The teacher modified his talk to ensure input comprehensibility, promote classroom interactions, expose authentic language to students and avoid confusion. Modifications in teacher talk were subject to students’ level and for achieving clarity of course content. This paper concludes that the teacher talk is modified and simplified to deliver comprehensible input in order to assist the learners’ language acquisition and facilitate learning process

    Increasing in the number of drug-abuser population in Care & Cure Rehabilitation Centre (CCRC) resulted in many of unproductive human resources which affect the social and economic performance of the country. Previous studies have shown that Quality of Life (QoL) among CCRC clients is poor as compared to other general population. Thus, it is essential to examine the driving factors that can motivate them to improve their QoL. This study proposes a conceptual model to measure QoL based on Maqasid Shariah approach which consists of five elements such as religion, life, mind, lineage, and property. The proposed model provides insights to address driving factors that can motivate them to improve their QoL namely CCRC environment, CCRC program, and self-efficacy. The effort supports the nation’s aspiration for a healthy, happy and competent nation
