Hasil penelitian yang diperoleh pada analisis pengetahuan dabt dalam naskah al-Quran MSS 4322 jelas menunjukkan penulisan dabt mushaf al-Quran MSS 4322 tidak mengikuti metode pengetahuan dabt yang sebenarnya seperti harakat lengkap, tanwin, mad, sabdu, sukun dan hamzah, tetapi lebih sesuai dengan pola penulisan normal. Sebagai hasil dari temuan penelitian ini, penulis mengajukan proposal agar penelitian ini dapat dilakukan secara berkelanjutan pada surah-surah Al-Qur'an lainnya di Perpustakaan Negara Malaysia yang belum dikaji secara komprehensif yang berasal dari dunia Melayu. Oleh karena itu, naskah Al-Qur'an ini merupakan naskah besar yang akan meningkatkan harkat dan martabat tulisan para ulama terdahulu secara akademis dan lebih berwibawa kepada generasi digital khususnya di bidang Al-Qur'an

Development and Alpha Testing of EzHifz Application: Al-Quran Memorization Tool

Learning to memorize the Quran presents a challenge. This paper reports the development and alpha testing of a mobile application called “EzHifz” for Quran memorization based on the VARK learning style. The application received positive feedback for user acceptance testing and heuristic testing. The Fleiss kappa coefficient (κ) results for user acceptance testing show a very good level of agreement (κ = 0.850). Heuristic testing results show that κ = 0.731 for content, manual guide, memorization activities, performance information, and tasmik assessment attributes, while κ = 0.727 for presentation design, interactivity, multimedia elements, attraction, and motivation attributes. These results show a good level of agreement, which indicates that the EzHifz application meets the requirements of design and development based on the attributes evaluated. A combination of memorizing techniques in the application helps strengthen the use of preferred VARK learning styles. The techniques support the use of multiple senses that could facilitate the process of memorizing the Quran independently. This study contributes to the novel design and evaluation of the Quran memorization application based on the Quran memorization model. The application supports the teaching and learning of Quran memorization where it allows students to select their preferred VARK learning style with the technique of memorizing the Quran. This mobile application learning approach based on VARK’s learning style has the potential to be implemented in the process of memorizing the Quran as well as retaining memory through the use of memory senses in support of the learning materials developed

Understanding the Perception of Islamic Medicine Among the Malaysian Muslim Community

This study was conducted to identify and describe the patients’ perceptions of Islamic medicine based on gender, age, marital, educational level and working status among the Malaysian Muslim population. A nationwide interviewer-administered questionnaire survey was conducted in 2013. An open-ended questionnaire pertaining to Islamic medicine was used to increase the probability of capturing maximum data. This survey implemented a multistage design, stratified by state, proportionate to the size of the state population and was representative of the Malaysian population. Post-survey classification of results was performed accordingly. Complex data analysis was carried out using SPSS 16.0. The discussion was identified and categorised into various sections. The paper concludes that Islamic medicine has a major influence in the Malaysian Muslim community compared to other alternatives. Further, its potential for growth and importance especially for treating spiritual ailments cannot be denied. The respondents indicated that two factors motivate Islamic medicine in Malaysia: (1) the Muslim community opts for alternative healing because of their dissatisfaction with conventional methods; (2) Islamic medicine focuses only on healing spiritual-related problems. The average perception of respondents is that the function of Islamic medicine in healing physical diseases is undervalued and that it is not suitable to replace the functions of modern health institutions

Diet halalan toyyiban: porcine blood plasms detection in chicken meatball by conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis

The addition of blood plasm in meatballs become an issue and concerned by Muslim’s consumers in Malaysia due to its uncertain Halal status on that product especially on non-Halal logo product certified by Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM). Although the quantity of animal blood plasma consumption is low, its effect on the elasticity and structure of meatball are good. This study was conducted to detect the presence of chicken and porcine DNA in chicken meatballs by conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay targeted mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) on chicken and short interspersed nuclear element (SINE) on porcine genome. Meatballs spiked with 1.0% (w/w) and 5.0% (w/w) porcine meat and gelatin, respectively, were prepared and heat-treated using five (n=5) cooking methods: boiling, pan-frying, roasting, microwaving and autoclaving. A pairs of mtDNA and SINE primers were targeted in short sequences using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis, producing 129 and 161 bp amplicons, respectively. Electrophoresis analysis showed positive results for chicken and porcine DNA at 1.0% and 5.0% for both chicken meat and blood plasma for all of the different cooking techniques. In conclusion, in the presence study demonstrated the PCR analysis using species-specific primers was very useful for the detection of porcine DNA in heat-treated meatballs
