Exploring fire safety awareness among the Malaysia Public / Azim Sulaiman , Mohd Najib Abd Rashid and Naim Mahyuddin
No full textAs a global issue, fire incidents would cause severe implication(s)to victims. Fire incidents in Malaysia have
increased rapidly over the years. Most cases of property loss involved residential buildings, causing severe injuries to victims. This scenario is of concern in terms of national development, because the prime purpose of owning a house is to provide shelter and security to the residents. In response to growing concerns, surveys were conducted over recent years, as shown in the media which revealed that the main contribution towards the
increase of fire cases in Malaysia is due to a low level of fire safety awareness among the public. Furthermore, there is still a lack of fire safety measures especially in regards to landed residential properties. The installation of smoke detectors and portable fire extinguishers in houses in Australia, the United Kingdom and .ew
Zealand, in comparison significantly reduced the fire fatalities and losses.Over recent years, there have been campaigns, seminars and trainings on fire safety conducted by the .ational Fire and Rescue Department of Malaysia throughout the nation. However, these fire preventive measures failed to increase the level of fire
safety awareness among the public. Perhaps we should keep in mind the significant importance promoting fire safety awareness among the public. Does this responsibility solely rest with regulating authorities or with each individual

KAJIAN ILMU AL-WUJUH WA AL-NAZA’IR MENURUT MUQATIL BIN SULAIMAN (Studi Kata النور dan الظلمات Kitab al-Wujuh wa al-Naza’ir fi al-Qur’an al-‘Azim)
No full textIlmu al-wujuh dan al-nazair merupakan salah satu macam ilmu dari ulumul Qur’an. Ilmu ini muncul pada abad ke-2 Hijriah walaupun sebenarnya embrio dari ilmu al-wujuh dan al-nazair sudah ada pada masa sahabat bahkan Nabi Muhammad. Akan tetapi secara penyusunan kitab baru ada pada abad kedua Hijriah. Tokoh pertama yang pertama kali menyusun kitab ini yaitu Muqatil bin Sulaiman (w. 150 H). Muqatil bin Sulaiman menyusun sebuah karya fenomenal dengan judul al-Wujuh wa al-Nazair fi al-Qur’an al-Azim. Di dalam kitab tersebut Muqatil bin Sulaiman tidak mendefinisikan definisi dari ilmu wujuh dan naza’ir. Akan tetapi pengertian tersebut dibuat oleh editor kitab tersebut, yaitu Hatim Shalih Dhamin. Singkatnya wujuh adalah satu lafal yang mengandung beberapa makna, sedangkan naza’ir adalah perbedaan lafal tetapi mempunyai satu makna. Sistematika kitab ini diawali dengan mambahas biografi dari Muqatil bin Sulaiman yang ditulis oleh editor kitab tersebut yaitu Hatim Shalih Dhamin. Kemudian dilanjutkan dengan membahas kata-kata yang mengandung makna wujuh dimulai dari kata al-Huda dan terakhir kata Fauqa.
Urgensi dari ilmu al-wujuh dan al-nazair dalam ilmu al-Qur’an sangatlah penting, terutama bagi mufassir. Karena seorang mufassir tidak akan bisa menafsirkan al-Qur’an jika tidak memahami ilmu bahasa Arab secara detail. Karena al-Qur’an turun dengan bahasa Arab, maka tidak cukup hanya mempelajari sekilas saja. Terkadang kita menjumpai satu lafal dalam al-Qur’an mengandung dua makna atau lebih yang dikenal dengan ilmu al-wujuh wa al-nazair. Oleh karena itulah ilmu ini sangat diperlukan mufassir untuk menafsirkan al-Qur’an sesuai dengan tujuan dan makna ayat tersebut diturunkan.
Di dalam al-Qur’an setidaknya ada ratusan kata yang mengandung makna lebih dari satu. Misalnya saja kata al-Nur menurut Muqatil bin Sulaiman memiliki 10 wajah atau makna. Kata al-Nur bisa diartikan dengan agama Islam, iman, petunjuk, Nabi Muhammad SAW, cahaya siang, cahaya bulan, cahaya yang Allah berikan pada hari kiamat, penjelasan mengenai hukum-hukum di kitab Taurat, penjelasan mengenai hukum-hukum yang ada di al-Qur’an, dan yang terakhir adalah cahaya Tuhan. Sedangkan kata al-Z}uluma>t beserta derivasinya juga memiliki banyak wajah makna. Pertama, kata al-Zalimin bermakna orang-orang musyrik, seorang muslim yang melakukan dosa tapi tidak syirik, manusia yang berbuat zhalim kepada yang lainnya, orang yang memudharatkan dirinya tapi tidak syirik, orang yang menzholimi dirinya dengan syirik dan dusta, orang yang melakukan pengingkaran, dan yang terakhir bermakna orang yang melakukan pencurian. Selanjutnya kata al-Zulmu memiliki empat wajah, yaitu syirik, hamba yang melakukan dosa selain syirik, orang yang menzhalimi manusia lainnya, dan terakhir bermakna kurang. Kata al-Zulumat memiliki dua wajah makna, yaitu kengerian atau keganasan dan tiga perkara. Terakhir kata al-Zulumat dan al-Nur memiliki dua wajah makna, yaitu syirik dan keimanan, dan yang kedua adalah malam dan siang
A study on the laws regulating migrant workers in Malaysia / Muhammad Kasyful Azim Shahlan, Rabiatul Adawiyah Sulaiman and 'Alia Nabeela Amran
No full textIt is vital for any country that has migrant workers to also have laws governing them as well as protecting their rights. In Malaysia, the rights of the migrant workers are outlined in few local statutes such as the Employment Act 1955, the Workmen's Compensation Act 1952 and others. As for the United States, most of the laws pertaining to the rights of migrant workers are provided under Title 29 of the United States Code (U.S.C), which includes Fair Labor Standards Act 1938 and the Immigration Reform and Control Act 1986. The laws provided by both countries are quite the same but there are slight dissimilarities that can be addressed. The aim of this research is to identify the flaws of the local laws and make comparisons with what the United States has. This research also will provide recommendations as one of the ways to improvise the local laws

Penafsiran Kafir dan Syirik dalam Al-Qur'an : Kajian Al-Wujuh wa An-Naza'ir menurut Muqatil bin Sulaiman
No full textBeberapa ulama berpendapat bahwa satu kata dapat memiliki berbagai makna dan bisa diartikan dengan beragam cara yang tidak bertentangan satu sama lain, tanpa membatasi pada satu makna saja. Dalam al-Qur’an kata kafir dan syirik sering muncul, namun makna dari kata kata tersebut bisa berbeda tergantung pada konteks ayatnya. Hal ini dapat menimbulkan masalah bagi pembaca dan penulis jika makna dari kedua lafaz tersebut tidak dijelaskan dengan tepat sesuai dengan konteks ayat dalam al-Qur'an. Ketika suatu lafadz digunakan dalam konteks tertentu, maknanya tentu akan berkembang sesuai dengan konteks tersebut.
Oleh karena itu, muncul persoalan tentang bagaimana mengungkapkan dan memahami makna kedua lafadz tersebut dalam al-Qur’an. Untuk menjawab persoalan tersebut, ilmu al-Wujuh dan an-Naza’ir dibutuhkan guna mengungkapkan makna dan bentuk dari kedua lafadz tersebut. Dengan rumusan masalah Apa yang disebut dengan al-Wujuh dan al-Naza’ir menurut Muqatil bin Sulaiman dan Bagaimana penafsiran para ulama dan Muqatil bin Sulaiman tentang kafir dan syirik dalam al-Qur’an dan kitab al-Wujuh dan al-Naza’ir fi al-Qur’an al ‘Azim.
Dalam penelitian ini, penulis menerapkan metode maudhu'i (tematik) dan metode tahlili (analisis) dengan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa istilah kafir dan syirik dalam al-Qur'an memiliki beragam makna dan bentuk ungkapan yang berbeda-beda. Makna kafir sebagai berikut: kafir yang tidak percaya ke-Esaan Allah SWT dan mengingkarinya, kafir yang mengetahui kebenaran ajaran Islam namun menolak dan menentangnya, kafir yang mengingkari nikmat Allah SWT, kafir yang melepas diri dari Allah SWT dan Rasulullah SAW. Makna syirik sebagai berikut: syirik menyekutukan Allah SWT dan menyamakannya dengan sesuatu yang lain, syirik dalam ketaatan selain ibadah, syirik dalam perbuatan (syirik riya’). Seperti yang kita ketahui bahwa kedua hal tersebut merupakan hal yang seharusnya kita hindari, karena itu kita perlu menghindarinya dengan senantiasa meningkatkan kualitas keimanan dan ketakwaan kita kepada Allah SWT
