Development of the theory of the institution of ḥisbah in medieval Islam

The main focus of this study is to examine the development of the theory of the institution of ḥisbah in medieval Islam. In particular, the study will provide an analysis and paraphrase of the work of Yaḥyā ibn ʻUmar (d. 289/901) which is considered the earliest source on the subject. The study is divided into seven chapters, an Introduction and a Conclusion. The Introduction explains the aims of this study and is followed by the discussions on the origin of the role of market supervision and the definition of ḥisbah. Next, works of medieval Muslim scholars and studies made by the contemporary scholars are reviewed. Chapter One discusses the life and career of Yaḥyā ibn ʻUmar, followed by an analysis of the two texts of his work; Kitāb Aḥkām al-Sūq and Kitāb al-Aḥkām fī Jamiʻ Aḥwāl al-Sūq. In Chapter Two, a paraphrase of these two texts is made. Chapter Three deals with the elements of ḥisbah, covering the discussions on the person carrying out the duty of ḥisbah (i.e. the muḥtasib), the person to be supervised, subject of ḥisbah's supervision and stages of ḥisbah's penalties. The remaining four chapters examine the duties of the muḥtasib. The duty of the muḥtasib to supervise the market is discussed in Chapter Four and Chapter Five examines his duty to supervise moral and religious behaviour. The discussions in Chapter Six is concerned with the supervision of medical professions while Chapter Seven deals with the administration of the city.

Personaliti ekstrovert dan introvert telah dibahagikan kepada tiga trait iaitu trait aktiviti, trait bersosial dan trait mengambil risiko. Perbandingan personaliti berdasarkan jantina dibuat bagi melihat perbezaan jenis personaliti ini dalam kalangan pelajar PCA yang berlainan jantina. Sampel-sampel dipilih secara purposif di Sekolah Harian Biasa, Sekolah Berasrama Penuh (SBP) dan Sekolah Menengah Sains Mara (MRSM). Seramai 177 sampel dipilih yang terdiri daripada pelajar-pelajar cemerlang yang memperolehi semua A dalam semua mata pelajaran yang diambil pada peringkat peperiksaan Penilaian Menengah Rendah (PMR). Instrumen Eysenck Personaliti Questionaires (EPQ) telah digunakan bagi tujuan kajian ini. Data dianalisis dengan menggunakan kaedah statistik deskriftif dan inferensi. Kajian ini mendapati bahawa sukar untuk mengklasifikasikan sama ada PCA merupakan pelajar yang berpersonaliti ekstrovert atau sebaliknya. Hal ini berlaku kerana setiap pelajar adalah unik

Transformasi isu dalam penyelesaian konflik Patani di Selatan Thailand (transformation of issue in reconciling Pattani conflict In Southern Thailand)

The struggle for independence in the Patani conflict remains ongoing until today. Incidents of shooting, bombing, school arsons, and guerrilla raids are still occurring on daily basis. The Thai government has been working to overcome this problem with various approaches and yet, it remains unresolved. Nonetheless, the reconciliation process between 2004 and 2015 had experienced discernible changes when the Patani Liberation Movement (GPP) and the Thai government were willing to negotiate and dialogue. Moreover, Malaysia is perceived to have successfully played its role as a facilitator in driving both parties to participate in the reconciliation process. This study examines research data which focused on the transformation of issue championed by the GPP from its previous demand for independence to the issue of identity of Malay Patani that has been awhile subjected to assimilation and discrimination. Identity issue (soft) has been the main factor behind the willingness of both parties to negotiate in comparison to the issue of claiming independence (hard). Qualitative-based data were analysed using theories and variables involving conflict triangle approach, symmetric and asymmetric relationships and conflict transformation. The findings of this study found that the unbalanced structure of relationships (asymmetric) is the cause behind the assimilation of the identity of Malay Muslim Patani (OMIP). This asymmetric relationship has led to a domination policy over OMIP by the Thai government which eventually triggered the rise of the GPP’s spirit to demand independence for the Patani. Nevertheless, in the years following the January 4, 2004 event, GPP has opted diplomatic approach when consigning the issue of identity as its main demand than its previous struggle for independence. Hence, the prioritization on the issue of identity is seen as one of the transformation process that unfolded within GPP that eventually resulted a series of dialogue and negotiation. Thus, the transformation of the issue of independence to identity is perceived as opening up the space for both parties to negotiate. Asymmetric conflict is difficult to resolve because the Thai government has a greater power than OMIP for which the latter is reluctant to negotiate

Proposing Waqf New Form (WNF) In waqf land registration system in Malaysia

This paper highlights and discusses the various forms and procedures involved in the registration process of waqf land and suggest the Waqf New Form (WNF) as a solution to the issues that arise in the registration of waqf land in Malaysia. The study sought to answer the following two research questions: What issues arise in the method of waqf land registration in Malaysia? In what ways can such issues be resolved? Design/methodology/approach: This study employed a qualitative research approach and used content analysis to analyse data. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with lawyers, academicians, and executive officers from the Department of Land and Mines (DLM) and the State Islamic Religious Council (SIRC), and reviewed documents were collected mainly from the Department of Waqf, Zakat and Hajj Malaysia (JAWHAR). The study found the WNF to be a solution to the issues that arise in waqf land registration. It was developed to address the current waqf issues such as problematic registration methods, lengthy and complicated procedures, interference in the civil court jurisdiction, and idle waqf land. The WNF resolved the flaws of the previous waqf land registration system in Malaysia. The WNF will provide solutions to the current registration system within the National Land Code, 1965 (NLC), which will secure property rights in the future

Kajian penghayatan ibadah dan kemahiran al-Quran dalam kalangan penduduk Pulau Tinggi, Mersing Johor

Projek Penyelidikan dan University Social Responsibility (USR) digabungkan menjadi satu untuk memberi impak yang lebih besar kepada pembangunan kerohanian dan jati diri muslim di Pulau Tinggi Mersing Johor. Projek ini melibatkan sembilan program yang dijalankan selama empat hari tiga malam secara bersemuka dengan penduduk kampung. Program yang terlibat ialah (1) Program Tahsin al-Fatihah; (2) Program Bengkel Pengurusan Jenazah; (3) Program Inovasi EKSA Bilik Kemahiran al-Quran Sekolah Agama Pulau Tinggi; (4) Program Smart Solat; (5) Program Penyelidikan Tahap Penghayatan Ibadah dalam Kalangan Penduduk Pulau Tinggi; (6) Solat Berjemaah, Solat Terawih dan Qiamullail; (7) Majlis Khatam al-Quran; (8) Iftar Sekampung dan yang terakhir program (9) Sumbangan Asnaf. Kajian Penghayatan ibadah dan Kemahiran al-Quran melibatkan 92 responden kajian dalam kalangan penduduk kampung. Metodologi kajian menggunakan soal selidik dan temu bual. Soal selidik disasarkan secara rawak kepada penduduk kampung yang beragama Islam dan berumur tujuh tahun dan ke atas. Sementara, kaedah temu bual dilakukan kepada Ketua Kampung Pulau Tinggi, Penghulu pulau-pulau, seorang guru Sekolah Kebangsaan Pulau Tinggi dan seorang guru Sekolah Agama Pulau Tinggi untuk mendapatkan data sokongan kajian. Hasil kajian dapat melihat bahawa tahap penghayatan ibadah adalah berada pada tahap sederhana dari segi kemahiran membaca al-Quran, penghayatan solat lima waktu, solat Jumaat dan solat berjemaah di masjid. Antara kekangan yang berlaku adalah disebabkan faktor pekerjaan penduduk yang utama sebagai nelayan mempunyai jadual pekerjaan yang tidak menentu. Cadangan agar projek ini diteruskan secara berkala untuk membantu penduduk kampung di samping projek pembangunan ekonomi penduduk juga mestilah digiatkan secara bersama

Intensifying Experiential Learning with Dynamic Learning Styles in Traditional Classroom

Individual learning style diverges from one another, based on preferential perception on different types of information and degree of understanding the information.
