The tafaqquh programme has been systematically conducted jointly by JAKIM, the State Islamic Affairs Department and mosques’ management committees. The programme has been made successful and effective by the contribution and cooperation of takmir teachers who have been appointed and trained intensively. These takmir teachers play very significant roles in the realisation of the aspiration and the scheme in developing knowledgeable society through the involvement of the mosque. To get the holistic view of the theme and subject of the study, focus is made on several key elements; the history of the development of tafaqquh programme module in the societies of the Malay Archipelago, Islamic education theory which correlates to the National Philosophy of Islamic Education : Studying fiqh method from the current methodology and pedagogy and finally the presentation of the current tafaqquh module of Alternative Islam in Malaysia. The learning of fiqh must be viewed from a broad context and it should be able to have an influence on the life of human beings from all living aspects.The Philosophy of Islamic Education, which is based on al-Quran and al-Sunnah should be able to be implemented realistically. The modification and upgrade of the studying fiqh syllabus in mosques require a drastic approach, besides practical module construction. Through these, it is hoped that the only learning of fiqh through the tafaqquh programme in mosques will progress on par with modernisation and current ’urf awareness in the society

Certain aspects of Ijitihād in Islamic jurisprudence : with special reference to the comparative study between Sunnī and Shī'ī principles

This work is concerned with certain aspects of Ijtihād in Islamic jurisprudence by the comparative study of Sunnī and Shī'ī views. The chosen aspects are; (1) The historical development of Ijtihād within both traditions. (2) The methodological principles of Ijtihād. (3) The concept of Ijmā’. Chapter one deals with the basic formation of the whole discussion, including the background of the concept of Ijtihād, the origin of Sunnism and Shi'ism and the main reasons for the separation between the two. Chapter two demonstrates the historical development of the theory of Ijtihād on both sides. It can be seen that there are two figures, i.e. al-Shāfi'ī and 'Allāma al- Hillī, which played an important role in elaborating and developing the theory of Ijtihād. Therefore, the discussion of this chapter has been separated into three different sections with reference to these two figures. It is suggested that the main reason for the Ikhtilāf between the two in the concept of Ijtihād was; (1) Different understanding of methods and principles of Ijtihād. (2) Different understanding of the concept of Ijmā'. (3) Different understanding of certain basic principles in Usūl al-Dīn. Each of these matters has been discussed in chapters three to five

Konsep jihad ulama Melayu-Islam dalam Kitab Jawi terpilih: satu analisis

Sejarah Malaysia membuktikan perjuangan orang Melayu menentang penjajah di Tanah Melayu dilakukan oleh pelbagai pihak dan gerakan.

Justeru, objektif kajian ini cuba menganalisis konsep jihad ulama Melayu-Islam yang terkandung dalam kitab Jawi terpilih. Hal ini perlu bagi membuktikan peranan ulama Melayu Islam dalam menyemarakkan semangat nasionalisme seperti yang terkandung dalam fakta sejarah karya-karya kitab Jawi tersebut. Sehubungan dengan itu, kajian ini merupakan kajian kualitatif yang menggunakan metode pengumpulan data melalui kaedah kepustakaan dan analisis dokumen. Hasil kajian mendapati, peranan ulama Melayu-Islam dalam kebangkitan menentang penjajah terbukti, khususnya Ashab Jawi.
