A Review of Factors Influencing Conversion to Islam Among Orang Asli in Malaysia

Ainuddin Kamaruddin, Ahmad Effat Mokhtar — Tue, 30 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The indigenous population residing across Peninsular Malaysia traditionally adhered to animistic beliefs, and a portion remained non-religious. With the establishment of various Islamic propagation bodies, both governmental and non-governmental, efforts toward Islamization among the indigenous population commenced. While the rate of indigenous people embracing Islam remains relatively low, the numbers have steadily increased over the years. This study aims to explore the factors driving the adoption of Islam within the indigenous community by employing a literature review methodology. Previous studies have revealed a dynamic array of factors influencing the adoption of Islam among indigenous communities, including marriage, continuous efforts by preachers, personal interest, dream inspirations, peer influence from family members, neighbors, village heads (Tok Batin), personal interests, and more. Future studies are encouraged to delve specifically into factors influencing the adoption of Islam and factors resisting Islamic propagation within indigenous communities based on village, state, or ethnic group differentiations.

Application of Modern Collective Ijtihād Approach in Islamic Banking: Analysis of AAOIFI's Juristic Methodology

Azeem Abdullah, Ahmad Che Yaacob, Hussin Salamon — Tue, 30 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The Islamic Banking industry has observed many disputes regarding the legality of the sharī῾ah status of different products due to the contradictions in different schools of thought. That created the need to standardize and harmonize the industry's sharī῾ah practices. The Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI) has done tremendous work in standardizing and harmonizing different opinions of different schools. It designs products according to the needs and practices of the industry in a sharī῾ah-compliant way. Its sharī῾ah standards are developed through a rigorous and professional process. They are widely accepted globally in the Islamic banking industry. The development of the sharī῾ah standards is based on the application of the collective ijtihād approach. This collective ijtihād approach is not limited to a specific school of thought. Instead, it has benefited from all the schools and harmonized them, making it a unique collective ijtihād approach. Hence, to find AAOIFI’s collective ijtihād approach, the study objective is to extract the juristic methodology of AAOIFI sharī῾ah standards. The method used for the analysis is qualitative content analysis. A sample of six standards from the 57 standards is selected based on purposive sampling. The coding is done on these six sample standards to deduce the embedded themes and categories related to the juristic methodology applied by AAOIFI. The findings were further verified by interviewing five experts. Therefore, the data analysis through coding and validation through experts’ opinions, the study found that AAOIFI’s juristic methodology is lenient, flexible, maintains equilibrium, avoids injustice and is not confined to a specific school of thought. Further study is recommended to analyse the criteria on which AAOIFI prefers one opinion over others among the schools. The study's results are expected to enhance the adoption of the AAOIFI’s collective ijtihād approach, globally, which will improve the standardization of the fatwa’ practices in the Islamic banking industry.

Learning Religious Moderation From The Devil In Sufism Literature

Robingatun — Tue, 30 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0000

A unique and paradoxical understanding of the devil can inspire an inclusive religious attitude. This is because it leads to an assessment of a person's religious quality which cannot only be seen from outward or physical performance. Religious attitudes like this can be a reinforcement in realizing religious moderation. This study uses a literature review that aims to examine the concept of monotheism of the Devil in the Sufi tradition, and its relation to the values of religious moderation which are implied in the unique and paradoxical understanding of the figure of the Devil. The results of this study show that the concept of monotheism of Satan in the perspective of Sufism has relevance and implications for the values of religious moderation in realizing tolerance and respect for religious freedom. From the perspective of Sufism, all of God's creations are the same, even though they look different outwardly. Only God has the right to judge the quality of a person's religion, not humans. So there is no need to question the difference because the difference is the will of God himself.

Mohd Amzari Tumiran — Tue, 30 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The Low-Carbon Cities (LCC) strategy guides cities in their efforts to transition towards an environmentally friendly and sustainable future. Currently, there is insufficient research that directly combines the LCC and Maqasid Syariah. Maqasid Syariah encompasses the elevated aims and fundamental principles of Islamic law, encompassing the safeguarding of life, religion, intellect, progeny, and wealth. The objective of this study was to examine the integration of the LCC with the concept of Maqasid Syariah comprehensively. This study employs a systematic methodology that includes thorough literature searches and analyses. This study has identified several relevant topics that align with Maqasid Syariah, namely: (a) integration of LCC with Maqasid Syariah; (b) benefits of a holistic strategy; and (c) challenges and considerations in integrating the LCC with Maqasid Syariah. In conclusion, this study suggests a comprehensive approach that combines the LCC with the notion of Maqasid Syariah, offers significant advantages, and carries substantial significance. To fully explore the benefits and problems of combining the LCC and the idea of Maqasid Syariah, this study recommends conducting further research and fostering teamwork.

Navigating The Implications for Heirs: An Analysis of The Amendment to The Small Estate Act (Distribution) 1955

Tue, 30 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0000

This research aimed to acquire a deeper understanding of the latest amendment of the Small Estates (Distribution) Act 1955 and its implications faced by the heirs. The methodology involves analyzing documents, such as the Small Estates (Distribution) (Amendment) Act 2022 as well as secondary sources, including journal articles, conference proceedings, newspaper clippings, and websites. Content analysis was used to analyze the data, capturing the insights and extensive knowledge on this area. The study highlights nine significant updates resulting from the amendment. These include expanding the jurisdiction to streamline estate administration, optimizing the existing estate administration system, offering more options and mechanisms for citizens when submitting petitions, and incorporating electronic systems for petition submissions. The limitation of this study is the potential constraint in accessing relevant literature on the specific topic, particularly if it is a niche and emerging subject. To overcome this limitation and gather more comprehensive information, alternative techniques, such as interviews could be explored. Few studies have examined the impact of the recent amendment of the Small Estates (Distribution) Act 1955. This study analysed in details the new provision given to the heirs in smoothing the inheritance process.

Suhailah Abdul Muin, Mohd. Nor Azan Abdullah, Norcikeyonn Samuni — Tue, 30 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0000

This research aimed to explore the experience of using Shariah-compliant homestay accommodation services in Sabah from the perspective of tourists or guests. The analysis results established that tourists or guests who stayed at Shariah-compliant homestays in Sabah encountered a distinct and worthwhile experience compared to conventional accommodation. The experience was about an environment that reflects Islamic values and is free from practices contrary to moral and religious principles. Social and cultural interactions between tourists, guests, and hosts strengthened friendly relations while presenting the same religious values. This research utilised an online questionnaire distribution method to 260 random respondents. This paper researched two vital aspects: travel information for tourists or guests and shared experiences obtaining Shariah-compliant accommodation services, especially in Sabah. The study data verified that, tourists or overnight guests chose homestay accommodation of the single house or bungalow type, with 150 respondents (57.7%) and 200 respondents (76.9%), respectively. They commented that they have experienced staying in accommodation that offers Shariah-compliant services. Furthermore, this study aimed to analyse the accommodation experience of tourists or those staying at Shariah-compliant homestays in Sabah, exploring aspects such as the accommodation environment, hospitality, facilities, and interaction with the host from the user's perspective. Hopefully, this investigation will disclose essential aspects of constructing a memorable and momentous experience for the guests by understanding their needs and expectations as a measuring tool to advance in the future for the development of Shariah-compliant accommodation.

Analisis Perkahwinan Bawah Umur di Malaysia dari Perspektif Syariah

Nurul Ain Hazram — Tue, 30 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Perkahwinan bawah umur merupakan perkara yang berlaku bukan sahaja di Malaysia, bahkan di serata dunia. Perkahwinan bawah umur berlaku disebabkan oleh pelbagai faktor antaranya ialah masalah sosial yang berlaku di dalam masyarakat dan ianya juga dikatakan mendatangkan kesan negatif kepada kanak-kanak yang terlibat sehinggakan ramai pihak yang mempersoalkan hukum perkahwinan yang melibatkan kanak-kanak. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan hukum perkahwinan kanak-kanak dengan membincangkan mengenai kanak-kanak dari perspektif syarak dan juga konsep ahliyyah kanak-kanak dalam perkahwinan, seterusnya membuat kesimpulan mengenai perkahwinan kanak-kanak dari perspektif syariah. Kajian ini menggunakan kaedah analisis dokumen dengan menganalisis kitab-kitab fiqh muktabar dari pelbagai mazhab dan mengambil kira pandangan fuqahā’ daripada mazhab yang berbeza agar penerangan mengenai had umur minimum perkahwinan bagi kanak-kanak dapat dijelaskan dengan lebih terperinci. Artikel ini menyimpulkan bahawa syarat baligh bukanlah syarat sah perkahwinan, oleh itu kanak-kanak memiliki kelayakan untuk melangsungkan perkahwinan yang menjadikan hukum perkahwinan kanak-kanak itu adalah harus. Namun begitu, keharusan ini tidaklah bermakna bahawa ianya merupakan satu perkara yang digalakkan. Malah, keharusan ini tertakluk kepada maslahah dan mafsadah yang boleh terhasil daripada perkahwinan tersebut.

Faktor Penerimaan Masyarakat Felda Terhadap Zakat Penghasilan Sawit di Daerah Kuantan

Tue, 30 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The research explores the dynamics of zakat acceptance of palm oil production by the felda community in Kuantan district, an important topic for the Malaysian community. Zakat is one of the pillars of Islam being a religious duty that aims to purify wealth. The study focused on zakat obtained from palm oil production, an important source of income for Felda settlers. The study includes 115 Felda settlements in Pahang, particularly in the Kuantan district, where 3,604 settlers live on 11 planned lands. Zakat obtained from the production of palm oil, even though the price of palm oil has increased, still faces challenges in terms of collection compared to other zakat categories. The decrease in the number of payers and the amount paid in 2021 in the Kuantan district raises concerns about the implications for zakat collection of palm oil production. This research incorporates the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) to analyze community acceptance. Hypothesis testing revealed unexpected results: attitude had a significant effect on acceptance, and the relationship between attitude and acceptance was insignificant. However, other factors represented by behavioral control, strongly influence acceptance. The findings underscore the complexity of factors that influence zakat acceptance in felda communities. Although one hypothesis was not supported, the unexpected results highlight the need for a sustained understanding of environmental influences and other influencing factors. This study proposes a tailored intervention that addresses the identified factors for effective improvement in zakat acceptance in the community. Further qualitative research is proposed to investigate community perspectives, ensuring a comprehensive approach to increase acceptance.

Mohd Rasmawi Harun, Hasiah Mat Salleh, Ahmad Effat Mokhtar — Tue, 30 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Islam has stipulated the giving of dowry from the husband to his wife through a marriage contract. It is a recognition related to property ownership rights for women that contains various wisdom. However, the setting of dowry rates has been practiced in Malaysia with various approaches and different sources of Shariah legislation in the states without any uniformity. Therefore, this study examines the highlights of its legalization, the history of its practice in the state of Pahang and presents suggestions for its improvement. The research methodology is qualitatively based on one main instrument which is library research. Meanwhile, the data analysis method is based on deductive and descriptive content analysis. Various issues arise such as the absence of a clear source of authority, lack of compliance with the objectives of its legislation, very significant value differences, the priority of valuable gifts, confusion in the community's understanding and its function as a socio-economic guarantee for women. Therefore, it is necessary to create a clear cause for resetting the dowry rate in the State of Pahang in order to be more in line with the wisdom of the legislation and make it compatible with the current economic value.

Islam telah mensyariatkan pemberian mahar daripada suami kepada isterinya melalui sebuah akad perkahwinan. Ia sebagai pengiktirafan berkaitan hak pemilikan harta kepada wanita yang mengandungi pelbagai hikmah. Walaubagaimanapun penetapan kadar mas kahwin telah diamalkan di Malaysia dengan pelbagai pendekatan dan perbezaan punca kuasa perundangan Syariah di negeri-negeri tanpa suatu keseragaman. Oleh yang demikian kajian ini meneliti sorotan pensyariatannya, sejarah pengamalannya di negeri Pahang serta mengemukakan cadangan penambahbaikannya. Metodologi kajian adalah secara kualitatif berdasarkan satu instrumen utama iaitu kajian perpustakaan. Manakala, kaedah analisis data pula berasaskan analisis kandungan secara deduktif dan deskriptif. Pelbagai isu timbul seperti ketiadaan punca kuasa yang jelas, kurang menepati objektif pensyariatannya, perbezaaan nilai yang sangat ketara, keutamaan pemberian yang bernilai, kekeliruan kefahaman masyarakat dan fungsinya sebagai jaminan sosio-ekonomi wanita. Oleh yang demikian adalah suatu keperluan bagi mewujudkan satu punca yang jelas bagi penetapan semula kadar mas kahwin di Negeri Pahang agar lebih menepati hikmah pensyariatannya serta menjadikannya bersesuaian dengan nilaian ekonomi semasa.

Azrul Hisyam Mohamad Rasidi, Muhammad Fadlly Ismail — Tue, 30 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0000

This study aims to evaluate the level of acceptance of Islamic education teachers towards the teaching method of the Qur'an, particularly through the Iqra' approach. Involving the analysis of factors such as knowledge, attitudes, environmental influences, teaching strategies, and teacher readiness, this study highlights critical findings that provide deep insight into the dynamics of teaching the Qur'an among Islamic education teachers in Malaysia. In evaluating teachers' knowledge, the study found a good understanding of the objectives and teaching strategies of the Iqra' method, although there is still a need to improve the quality of teacher education. The teacher's attitude was rated as moderate, with some teachers showing a lack of emphasis on certain aspects such as the pronunciation of makhraj and fasah. Environmental influences, including workload and stress, play an important role in teaching effectiveness. Here, an emphasis on workload anagement and the development of teacher professionalism is needed. In the teaching strategy dimension, the findings highlight the need for an increase in the use of technology, a variety of learning approaches, and more effective strategies to ensure better learning. The willingness and motivation of teachers towards the Iqra' method is highly valued, although there needs to be an increase in the use of teaching aids and the preparation of daily lesson plans. By detailing and analyzing these factors, this study outlines strategic steps to increase the level of teacher acceptance of the Iqra' method. It is hoped that the results of this study can provide a significant contribution in improving the quality of Quran teaching among Islamic education teachers and strengthen the learning approach in the Malaysian education system.
