Nurul Mukminah Zainan Nazri, Norhasnira Ibrahim — Sun, 31 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0000

This study delves into the dietary practices of Makkan society between 609 and 622 A.D., focusing on the consumption of dates and barley as antioxidant staple foods. During this period, the Prophet Muhammad PBUH lived in Makkah and interacted with the local community. In recent times, the Makkan and global society underwent a transformation from a traditional wholesome healthy diet into a less healthy impoverished diet. Employing qualitative content analysis, this investigation sheds light on the significance of a balanced diet as an ideal dietary model for diverse cultures worldwide. Thematic analysis of data collected through content and document examination reveals that dates and barley held prominent positions among the staple foods in Makkah, with Quranic verses highlighting their multifaceted importance. The study’s implications confirm the presence of valuable antioxidant compounds in the staple foods of Makkan society. Consequently, the regular inclusion of dates and barley in daily diets is recommended, not only for their exquisite taste but also for the numerous health benefits they offer. By revisiting the dietary choices of historical civilizations, we can glean valuable insights for promoting healthier eating habits in contemporary societies, fostering well-being and vitality for all.

Souad Mahdi, Nurazmallail Marni — Sun, 31 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Islam is a comprehensive religion, and the need for its teachings increases with the increase in human problems. In this era, the need for organizations to face the challenge of sustainability increases, seeking to enable the behavior of employees to become a sustainable behavior that contributes to its sustainability. This research aims to explore the Islamic foundations in the sustainable behavior of employees. The literature attached the sustainability of behavior with environmental, psychological, and spiritual but did not relate them to the Islamic foundations that emphasize fixed pillars for establishing sustainable behavior. In this study, we follow the descriptive-analytical approach and explore these pillars through the noble Quranic verses and the authentic Hadiths. The study suggests that the establishment of sustainable behavior is based on a tripartite link between Islamic behavior in the working environment, behavior in the personal surroundings, and behavioral training. So that it creates a homogeneity of the individual's behavior, and where the same behavior is required of him is the same in the workplace and the personal surroundings, so the focus is on avoiding hypocrisy and affirming truthfulness and Reinforcing and directing behavior through training in this behavior to ensure its steadiness and sustainability. We aspire to make a systematic change in behavior management for sustainability, and this research paper contributes to developing the behavioral view of employees and addressing their problems for sustainable behavior.

It is one of the significant components and elements during ijtihād in issuing fatwā. The principle of Lā Yunkar Taghayyur Al-Aḥkām Bi Taghayyur Al-Azmān is an approach that considers time changes in building up the Shariah’s view. This principle is also closely related to uruf and custom which are parts of Islamic jurisprudence. When a Shariah view is built, hence it will vary according to the time period, place, and circumstances. Recently, there has been a very significant decrease in the cases of COVID-19 virus infection in the community, which shows a subsequent decrease in the number of deaths across the country. This situation also impacts the current regulations that have become more lenient, including the management and burial procedures of deceased Muslims that are infected with COVID-19. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the elementary changes that have been amended in the Guideline of Management of Muslim Bodies Infected with COVID-19 for the years 2020 and 2022 in view of transmission method changes in this country. This study is qualitative in nature using a document analysis methodology that includes classical and contemporary Islamic legal maxim books on jurisprudence, research articles, and guidelines. Semi-structured interviews and comparative analysis were conducted according to the guidelines to identify the amended procedures. The outcome of the study discovers that several procedures in the guidelines of management of the infected bodies with COVID-19 have been amended in line with the current situation. These changes are seen close to the normal management of a dead body, but some other procedures still have to be followed accordingly.

Many Arab Muslim students come to predominantly Muslim countries to pursue their education because they are drawn to these nations for their Islamic identity, in which they can share the same religious beliefs and practices. Nevertheless, these students still need to adapt to the differing cultural and religious aspects of the host country. This study aims to delve into the dynamics of intercultural communication among groups with similar religious identities but originating from distinct cultures. By utilizing data collected from Yemeni postgraduate students in four public universities in Malaysia, this article explores how these students manifest their religious identity through religious practices and how they establish both in-group and out-group mentalities to navigate the challenges of living in a foreign country. The findings reveal that Yemeni postgraduate students in Malaysia maintain a strong connection to their religious and cultural practices, suggesting minimal shifts in their overall religious identity. The analysis also indicates that the students who are more devout and frequent religious centers tend to assimilate more fully into Malay Muslim society.
