    No full text
    This paper represents the possibility of paper materials transforms into the chair model that has potential in the furniture manufacturing in the future. This paper aims to design, simulate and analyze with the static analysis using the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and validation testing with a real-life prototype model of the paper chair that has been proposed from the Product Development Process (PDP) in terms of design structure and materials used. Paper waste materials are the best selection of unwanted and worthless waste that can be transformed into the usable and functional furniture products where it can help to solve the lack of recycling activities and reduce the major environmental problems. The result in terms of the static analysis where a lower value than the proposed yield strength which means the design structure is very durable and can endure the human’s weight that over 80 kg. Plus, the Factor of Safety (FOS) result shows the blue color region of the analysis has passed successfully where it is durable to withstand the human’s weight and safe to use. The result in terms of the paper waste materials that have been designed for the validation process has a good durability and toughness along with a good reliability of the Cronbach Alpha value that was concluded the paper materials for furniture manufacturing have the capability to succeed in the future

Artikel ini membincangkan wasilah dakwah Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. menerusi aktiviti dakwah baginda kepada pembesar. Penelitian mengenai wasilah dakwah ini dilakukan menerusi analisis terhadap ayat al-Quran dan Hadis yang berkaitan, termasuk kitab-kitab sirah bagi mengenal pasti bentuk wasilah yang sesuai bagi golongan ini. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan wasilah dakwah Nabi s.a.w. adalah berteraskan pendekatan menyesuaikan penggunaan wasilah dengan sasaran dakwah. Wasilah surat dipilih oleh Nabi s.a.w. kerana faktor jarak yang jauh antara baginda dengan pembesar yang tidak memungkinkan berlakunya komunikasi interpesonal antara mereka menerusi bahasa lisan. Namun demikian, baginda tetap menggunakan bahasa lisan dengan berpesan kepada wakil pembesar yang datang berjumpanya dengan pesanan-pesanan tertentu untuk disampaikan kepada pembesar mereka.

    Pembentukan Ummah Wasatiyyah Menerusi Terapi Tauhid Al-Hikam Shaykh Ibn Ataillah

    No full text
    Ummah wasatiyyah lahir daripada penghayatan Islam dengan memahami keindahan dan ketelusan ajarannya. Tonggak utama dalam pembentukan ummah wassatiyyah sentiasa dikaitkan dengan tiga elemen penting, iaitu Islam, Iman dan Ihsan. Artikel ini cuba mengutarakan konsep tauhid yang dikemukakan oleh Shaykh Ibn Ataillah al-Sakandari sebagai satu instrumen penting dalam pembentukan umat terbaik sebagaimana yang dinyatakan dalam al-Quran. Penulisan ini mengetengahkan tauhid al-af„al yang terangkum dalam kalam Hikam al-Sakandari dan penerapan nilainya sebagai teras dalam pembentukan ummah wasatiyyah. Kajian kualitatif ini menggunakan kaedah analisis kandungan dengan meneliti aspek tauhid al-af„al daripada sumber utama kitab al-Hikam Shaykh Ibn Ataillah dan didokong oleh beberapa karya beliau yang lain. Kajian mendapati bahawa elemen tauhid al-af„al merupakan aspek yang terpenting dalam membina ummah wasatiyyah kerana ia merujuk kepada penyerahan diri kepada kekuasaan dan kudrat Allah SWT serta tadbir urusNya dalam setiap gerak-geri dan tindak-tanduk seluruh makhluk. Justeru, suatu umat tidak mungkin mencapai status umat terbaik selama mana segala tindak-tanduk dan perbuatan tidak disertakan dengan penyerahan kepada Allah. Oleh itu, kajian menyimpulkan bahawa „ummatan wasata‟ yang juga diistilahkan dalam al-Quran sebagai „khayra ummah‟ merupakan satu umat yang mempunyai ciri-ciri terpenting tauhid, iaitu elemen mentauhidkan Allah SWT dari aspek perbuatanNya

    No full text
    Antara isu politik yang agak berpanjangan di Malaysia adalah isu keabsahan status Malaysia sebagai sebuah negara Islam. Ia adalah suatu polemik yang berakar umbikan sejarah, kekinian dan masa hadapan. Pengisytiharan Malaysia sebagai sebuah negara Islam oleh Perdana Menteri keempat ternyata telah meredakan polemik ini tetapi tidak berjaya memadamkannya. Justeru objektif kajian ini adalah untuk menganalisis semula pengisytiharan ini secara strategi demi memberi impak yang positif pada masa mendatang. Kajian berbentuk kualitatif ini merujuk kepada bahan-bahan kepustakaan demi melakukan beberapa analisis mencakupi induktif, deduktif, historikal, mahupun komparatif. Kajian ini mendapati ada lima ciri negara Islam yang biasanya disebut dalam karya-karya fiqh kenegaraan Islam, iaitu keamanan, kepimpinan, penduduk, status asal sesebuah wilayah dan pelaksanaan undang-undang Islam. Polemik tentang status Malaysia sebagai negara Islam, kebiasaannya merujuk kepada penekanan pihak-pihak yang terlibat kepada ciri yang pertama dan kelima. Kajian juga melihat secara strateginya pengisytiharan tersebut yang bertunjangkan kepada keamanan dan kestabilan negara memberi impak yang positif dari sudut memberi ruang yang lebih kepada pelaksanaan Islam pada masa akan datang. Sungguhpun demikian, umat Islam perlu meneruskan penambahbaikan dari sudut pelaksanaannya dari masa ke semasa. Kajian ini amat bersetuju dengan status Malaysia sebagai sebuah negara Islam ataupun sekurang-kurangnya sebagai Dar al-Islam sebagaimana yang disebut oleh Wahbah al-Zuhayli

    Negara Malaysia telah di sebati dengan amalan pembuatan yang dibawa oleh barat dan timur yang bermatlamatkan kebendaan semata-mata. Fenomena ini mengundang pelbagai masalah dalam sektor pembuatan di negara ini seperti materialisme, hakisan nilai kemanusiaan, pencemaran alam sekitar, pembaziran dan eksploitasi tenaga manusia. Amalan pembuatan yang tidak dikawal dengan konsep Islam menyebabkan banyak perkara yang terlibat dalam proses pembuatan tidak menepati kepatuhan syariah serta tidak bersesuaian dengan keperluan masyarakat Islam. Justeru, kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengenalpasti prinsip-prinsip pembuatan dari pandangan Islam dan merumuskan satu definisi pembuatan Islam sebagai satu usaha untuk mengasaskan teori pembuatan Islam yang boleh dijadikan dasar kepada amalan pembuatan Islam yang menepati kepatuhan syariah, taharah, barakah dan boleh menghapuskan shubhah. Kajian kuanlitatif ini menggunakan analisis dokumen sebagai instrumen kajian. Ia melibatkan analisis data secara induktif dan komparatif terhadap sumber-sumber muktabar Islam iaitu al-Quran, hadith dan penulisan para sarjana Islam. Kajian ini mendapati asas-asas pembuatan Islam meliputi tauhid, manusia sebagai khalifah, akhlak dan produk yang berkualiti. Sementara itu, prinsip-prinsip pembuatan Islam merangkumi komponen-komponen yang melibatkan pemilik perusahaan, pemodalan, pekerja, premis, peralatan, bahan, proses kerja, pendokumentasian dan produk. Berasaskan pandangan Islam tentang asas pembuatan serta prinsip-prinsip pembuatan Islam yang diterokai, maka kajian ini merumuskan pembuatan Islam ialah satu proses yang bersepadu dan seimbang dalam mentransformasikan sumber bahan yang menepati kepatuhan syariah (syariah compliance), taharah dan barakah ke arah penghapusan shubhah demi kesejahteraan ummah di dunia dan akhirat
