    I MET the late Professor Muhammad Kamal Hassan, who died on Feb 23, more than a decade ago as vice-chancellor or rector of our universities. I was drawn to his soft-spoken, well-mannered personality. Kamal was renowned not only for his scholarly works and endeavours, but he was also well regarded by many colleagues and students from all over the world. He has been a household name for those who visited the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) since its establishment in 1983

    Annotation of conceptual co-reference and text Mining the Qur'an

    This research contributes to the area of corpus annotation and text mining by developing novel domain specific language resources. Most practical text mining applications restrict their domain. This research restricts the domain to the Qur'anic Text. In this thesis, a number of pre-processing steps were undertaken and annotation information were added to the Qur'an. The raw Arabic Qur'an was pre-processed into morphological units using the Qur'anic Arabic Corpus (QAC). Qur'anic terms were indexed and converted into a vector space model using techniques in Information Retrieval (IR). In parallel, nearly 24,000 Qur'anic personal pronouns were annotated with information on their referents. These referents are consolidated and organized into a total of over 1,000 ontological concepts. Moreover, a dataset of nearly 8,000 pairs of related Qur'anic verses are compiled from books of scholarly commentary on the Qur'an. This vector space model, the pronoun tagging, the verse relatedness dataset, and the part-of-speech tags available in QAC all together served for a number of Qur'anic text mining applications which were rendered online for public use. Among these applications: lemma concordance, collocation, POS search of the Qur'an, verse similarity measures, concept clouds of a given verse, pronominal anaphora and Qur'anic chapter similarity. Furthermore, machine learning experiments were conducted on automatic detection of verse similarity/relatedness as well as categorization of Qur'anic chapters based on their chronology of revelation. Domain specific linguistic features were investigated to induct learning algorithms. Results show that deep linguistic and world knowledge is needed to reach the human upper bound in certain computational tasks such as detecting text relatedness, question answering and textual entailment. However, many useful queries can be addressed using text mining techniques and layers of annotations made available through this research. The works presented here can be extended to include other similar texts like Hadith (i.e., saying of Prophet Muhammad), or other scriptures like the Gospels

    PhDThis study is undertaken on the premise that Islam and Islamic law is to be taken into serious consideration in any future legislative reform of laws in Malaysia. Islam being the religion of the country and the strong religious sentiment of the Muslims (who form the majority in Malaysia) cannot be overlooked or dismissed lightly by the legislators in Malaysia. Reformation of intellectual property laws is timely, as we are now approaching to the dateline set by GATF-Trips agreement which aim is to improve our standard of intellectual property protection. This study seeks to analyze and evaluate the current legislation pertaining to intellectual property in Malaysia in terms of the philosophy and rules governing the existence, ownership and exercise of these rights and their consistency and inconsistency with Islam and Islamic law. The main objective of this study is to prove that a coherent and logical conceptual framework of ownership of intellectual property can be derived from an Islamic perspective which not only offers the basis of rights but also defines the scope of these rights. From the point of ownership of rights, support can be obtained from the normative framework of property rights within the traditional classification of 'mal' (property) and 'haqq al-milkiyyah' (ownership rights) under Islamic law. From the point of exercise of rights, the exact scope can be defined from the analysis of fundamental concepts which have been developed by Muslim jurists. It has been established that Islam and Islamic law offers a sound and systematic paradigm, which in deeper analysis, can satisfy both our current obligations under international treatises, as well as our responsibility to practise our religion to the fullest

    Nowadays, people communicate every day. People speak, write and draw to let others know what they thinking and feelings. When those people respond, the communication become interactive or two-way. We make decision to build a project Smart Letterbox. The main objective of this project to study requirement and procedure needed for Smart Letterbox, to develop mechanical and electronic part in order to improve the current letterbox system, and lastly to study and utilize the necessary component to fabricate the project. It is about combination of hardware part and programming part with Liquid crystal display(LCD), and buzzer using Programmable Interface controller(PIC). The sensor be able to notice the present of letter through LCD and buzzer. For this project, we make circuit for the sensor to detect the letter. Then, interface it with PIC. MP LAB X software include for this project to program the PIC and proteus to run the whole project. Expected result is to make sure the LCD is used to display the information and buzzer to alert the user. In a nutshell, this Smart Letterbox can ease and help people receive the information smoothly
