It identifies the miracles of the Prophets and the righteous as divine occurrences, while other extraordinary occurrences, particularly those linked to unethical behavior, are interpreted as magical or deceptive, possibly influenced by occult practices. However, religion has become a basis for extraordinary claims among some Muslims and Christians alike. This research employs a mixed-methodology approach that combines qualitative and quantitative analysis methods. A total of 12 Muslim scholars and 5 pastors were interviewed, each responding to eight structured questions. Additionally, 211 respondents completed a questionnaire disseminated via WhatsApp. The instrument consisted of 25 questions, including one open-ended item designed to elicit suggested solutions. The quantitative approach provided data for statistical analysis, while the qualitative approach enabled a thematic discussion of the issues. Strengthening theological understanding - particularly Tauhīd among Muslims - could contribute to reducing the prevalence of magical interpretations of religious experiences. While completely eliminating shirk may not be feasible, increased awareness can help mitigate its occurrence.</p>2025-04-08T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 Fatima Dabarako, Muhammad Salamahttps://uijournal.usim.edu.my/index.php/uij/article/view/569Pemerkasaan wanita menurut perspektif hadis: Satu sorotan literatur2025-01-07T03:48:47+00:00Muhammad Adam Abd. Azidadamsaifulislam@gmail.comNajah Nadiah Amrannajah@ukm.edu.myHamdi Ishakhamdi@ukm.edu.my<p>Islam is a religion that encompasses all aspects of life. Islam has also given its followers all the guidance to manage life including in relation to women's empowerment. Although today the West is considered the champion of women's empowerment, the fact is that Islam first pioneered it. Since the beginning of his mission, women's empowerment has been one of the agenda of the Prophet's PBUH preaching. However, the implementation of women's empowerment by the West is more highlighted than what was implemented by the Prophet PBUH. Therefore, this paper reviews the literature related to women's empowerment according to the hadith perspective. This study applies qualitative methods through literature review to obtain research data, while data analysis is done through content analysis. The study found that previous studies have discussed several themes of women's empowerment from a hadith perspective such as legislation, education, social services, careers and politics. However, there are still aspects of women's empowerment according to the hadith perspective that have not been researched. Therefore, women's empowerment according to the hadith perspective should be studied comprehensively to highlight the approach of women's empowerment carried out by the Prophet SAW.</p> <p><strong>ABSTRAK</strong></p> <p>Islam merupakan agama yang syumul meliputi segala aspek kehidupan. Islam juga telah memberikan kepada umatnya segala panduan untuk menguruskan kehidupan termasuklah berkaitan dengan pemerkasaan wanita. Walaupun hari ini Barat dianggap sebagai juara kepada perjuangan pemerkasaan wanita, namun hakikatnya Islam terlebih dahulu telah mempeloporinya. Sejak awal pengutusannya, pemerkasaan wanita telah menjadi salah satu daripada agenda dakwah Rasulullah SAW. Akan tetapi, pelaksanaan pemerkasaan wanita oleh Barat lebih diketengahkan berbanding apa yang dilaksanakan oleh Rasulullah SAW. Oleh yang demikian, makalah ini melakukan soratan literatur berkaitan pemerkasaan wanita menurut perspektif hadis. Kajian ini mengaplikasikan metode kualitatif melalui kajian kepustakaan bagi mendapatkan data kajian, manakala analisis data dilakukan melalui analisis kandungan. Hasil kajian mendapati, kajian-kajian lepas telah membincangkan beberapa tema pemerkasaan wanita daripada perspektif hadis seperti perundangan, pendidikan, khidmat sosial, kerjaya dan politik. Namun, masih terdapat aspek-aspek pemerkasaan wanita menurut perspektif hadis yang belum diteliti. Oleh yang demikian, pemerkasaan wanita menurut perspektif hadis wajar diteliti bagi mengetengahkan pendekatan pemerkasaan wanita yang dilakukan oleh Rasulullah SAW</p>2025-04-10T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 Muhammad Adam Abd. Azid, Najah Nadiah Amran, Hamdi Ishakhttps://uijournal.usim.edu.my/index.php/uij/article/view/647Predicting the intention to participate in family takaful product: A systematic literature review approach2025-01-07T07:58:38+00:00Mohd Faizuddin Muhammad Zukifaizuddin@iium.edu.myRazinda Tasnim Abdul Rahimrazindatasnim@kuips.edu.myNur Syamilah Md Noornsyamila@kuips.edu.my<p>For 2023, the market penetration rates for family takaful products were 19.58 percent. It suggests that a sizable portion of the Malaysian population still lacks takaful protection. Although numerous studies have examined the factors influencing participation in family takaful products, a systematic review of this specific research topic has been challenging due to the lack of review procedures, which hinders scholars' ability to replicate or interpret the results. Therefore, this study aims to perform a systematic literature review on consumer participation in family takaful products. The review processes involved five fundamental methodological steps: formulation of research questions under the guidance of a review protocol; systematic search strategies based on eligibility, identification, and screening in several reputable databases, including Scopus, Emerald Insight, and Google Scholar; quality assessment; and data extraction and analysis. Five main themes were also identified based on 23 past empirical studies, including consumer behavioural predictors, religiosity, products and services, trust, reputation, and image, as well as antecedents of behavioural intentions. These five main themes uncovered an additional 19 sub-themes. Notably, this study fills an existing gap by systematically consolidating past research on the determinants of family takaful participation. The findings offer actionable insights for Takaful operators to enhance their product offerings, improve consumer trust through transparency and ethical practices, and integrate digital solutions for improved accessibility. For policymakers, the study highlights the importance of financial literacy programs, regulatory incentives for product innovation, and public awareness campaigns to enhance takaful penetration. These contributions offer a strategic roadmap for strengthening the family takaful industry and fostering higher consumer participation.</p>2025-04-16T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 Mohd Faizuddin Muhammad Zuki, Razinda Tasnim Abdul Rahim, Nur Syamilah Md Noorhttps://uijournal.usim.edu.my/index.php/uij/article/view/664Revisiting InAQ principles in view of tadabbur Al-Qur’an methods2025-03-26T05:20:59+00:00Rashid Abdul Hamed Kirembwekirembwe@usim.edu.myMohd Aderi Che Nohaderi@usim.edu.mySiti Rosilawati Ramlanrosilawati@usim.edu.myMohammad Najib Jaffarnajib@usim.edu.mySakinah Ahmadskahmad@usim.edu.myHayati Ismailhayati.ismail@usim.edu.myMaziahtusima Ishakmshima@usim.edu.myMardhiah Yahayamardhiah@usim.edu.mySarifah Nurhanum Syed Sahurish.nurhanum@usim.edu.my<p>This is advanced research on revisiting the <em>InAQ</em> principles when considering <em>Tadabbur Al-Qur’an</em> methods. The acronym "<em>InAQ</em>" stands for (Integration of<em> Naqli </em>and <em>Aqli</em>) which refers to the systematic intellectual theological framework incorporating Islamic knowledge and rational thought. Thus, as the title suggests, this research analyses the<em> Naqli </em>composition style, and <em>Tadabbur Al-Qur’an</em> methods (V.01). <em>Tadabbur Al-Qur’an </em>methods (V.01) is a deliberate recall of the 1st Qur’anic generation approach to <em>Al-Qur’an</em> engagement using divine induced from in the <em>Naqli</em> itself (56:1-14); (36:2-11). It is based on the Naqli composition style which stands for “Divine” meanings that are uniquely different from that of the 7th C. Arabic wordlists. <em>Tadabbur Al-Qur’an</em> methods (V.01) is an extension of the <em>InAQ</em> methodological review in the quest of attaining a more stable and consistent <em>InAQ</em>-referenced ground for a more revealing divine worldview. The research is based on higher-order thinking skills. Thus, it is neither an affirmation of traditional <em>Al-Qur’an</em> translations nor a confirmation of the corrupted Torah proceedings. The <em>Tadabbur Al-Qur’an</em> methods (V.01) are rather a recall of <em>Al-Qur’an</em> direct engagement mechanisms used during the early Muslim community before the emergency of the <em>Tafsiir</em> corpus. The inductive and deductive approaches are used. The following (vii) <em>Tadabbur Al-Qur’an</em> methods (V.01) are adapted: (i)- observing (علامات; markings) (ii)- organic (تَفْصِيل; elaboration by Allah S.W); (iii)-toiling (تَفْصِيل; divarication) by (اعتبار; cross over); (iv)- (التدبُّر; the delayed diligent observation; (v)- nested interpretation; (vi)- certainty, relevancy and intentionality of all <em>Al-Qur’an</em> patterns; and (vii)- using<em> Naqli </em>composition style and<em> Naqli </em>unique terminologies). The <em>Tadabbur Al-Qur’an</em> methods (V.01) consistently unravel the divine concealments in a manner they did during the early Muslim community before the publications of <em>Tafsiir</em> literature. Thus, the researchers have introduced the <em>Tadabbur Al-Qur’an</em> methods (V.01) which are more accurate, stable, divine lexicons friendly, and consistent in combining rational thoughts and discoveries with revealed knowledge.</p>2025-04-21T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 Rashid Abdul Hamed Kirembwe, Mohd Aderi bin Che Noh, Siti Rosilawati binti Ramlan, Mohammad Najib Jaffar, Sakinah binti Ahmad, Hayati binti Ismail, Maziahtusima Binti Ishak, Mardhiah Binti Yahaya, Sarifah Nurhanum binti Syed Sahurihttps://uijournal.usim.edu.my/index.php/uij/article/view/578Analisis keperluan model tadabbur Al-Quran melalui pendekatan kosa kata Arab berbantukan teknologi realiti terimbuh khusus untuk orang dewasa pekak Islam2024-12-15T08:26:15+00:00 Nabilah Fasihah Ahmad YusoffFy_bilah@raudah.usim.edu.myUmmu-Hani Abasummuhaniabas84@gmail.comMohammad Najib Jaffarnajib@usim.edu.myMohammad Lukman Al-Hakim Md.

Tadabbur Al-Quran through a vocabulary approach based on Augmented Reality Technology has still not been researched and developed. Therefore, learning Arabic vocabulary based on the Qur'an for deaf learners should be well-planned and suitable to their needs. This study uses the needs analysis model of Hutchinson and Waters, 1987 which consists of Lacks, Needs, and Wants to collect data. The study findings show that most respondents do not know the Arabic vocabulary in Juzu’ ‘Amma related to creations including human beings, animals, plants, and other natural creations and phenomena. In addition, most of them agreed to learn Arabic vocabulary in Juzu’ ‘Amma related to the creations and natural phenomena with the help of AR technology.

Because of its great growth, Christians became very discouraged. This prompted them to look for any and all means to eradicate it. During the medieval period, Islam faced many intellectual and military attacks. One of the methods used is to create false theories that portray the Prophethood of Muhammad (saw) negatively. The most preposterous theory was the “epileptic theory” that sought to accuse him of epilepsy. Despite numerous attempts by Muslim scholars and some less biased Christian scholars to remove this idea from the scene, it still has relevance even in the writings of some of the most learned contemporary Christian scholars. In light of the fact that William Muir is one of the most knowledgeable and Contemporary Christian scholars, this study makes an effort to analyze and evaluate his views on this theory. In order to accomplish this, analytical, comparative and evaluative approaches were used in this process. According to the findings of the investigation, Muir’s claim that the Prophet (saw) suffered from epilepsy was not grounded in reality. If it is claimed that the experiences of the Prophet (saw) were attributed to epilepsy, it follows that the prophets of the Bible would be subject to the same accusation as well, as they shared similar physical experiences with the Prophet (saw).</p>2024-04-30T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 Aliyu Kabir, Mohammed Muneer’deen Olodo Al-Shafi’i, Ahmad Bazli Shafie
