Analysis of Woman Fiqh Jihad Based on Selected Malaysian Woman Extremism Cases

Statistical information shared by the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) suggests women engagement in religious extremism groups has increased in recent years. There is an urgent need to address the severe cases of extremism involving women abroad to prevent a similar incident in Malaysia. Hence, this study examines women jihad fiqh's issues based on the local background, and factors contributed to their interest. The study employed a qualitative method by collecting documentary reviews of the extremist group's publications and interviews with PDRM officers and the selected deradicalisation experts. The result indicates that Malaysian women's engagement in extremist groups is caused by the ideological influence and the pursuit of marrying a "jihadi". Nonetheless, it did not alter the legal status of fiqh jihad that had been deliberated by the scholars on the extremist groups. Therefore, women's involvement in extremist groups in the name of jihad should be constrained accordingly

Keistimewaan pendidikan agama Islam dan pandangan pentadbir British terhadap sistem pendidikan di Tanah Melayu: The Privileges of Islamic religious education and British administrator’s views on the education system in Malaya

Majoriti pentadbir British berpegang dengan falsafah positivisme empirik logik iaitu fahaman yang mementingkan penggunaan akal sepenuhnya sebagai pendekatan utama bagi mendapatkan sesuatu fakta keilmuan dengan tepat berdasarkan kaedah penelitian yang teliti dan sistematik. Falsafah ini menolak pembuktian sesuatu fakta menggunakan sumber wahyu kerana dianggap tidak releven dalam pembuktian sejarah dan telah mewujudkan pandangan yang berat sebelah serta meragukan terhadap masyarakat Melayu di Tanah Melayu. Artikel ini menumpukan kepada analisa terhadap pandangan pentadbir British berkenaan sistem pendidikan di Tanah Melayu merangkumi pendidikan agama dan sekular, dan untuk mengetahui keistimewaan pendidikan agama Islam ke atas masyarakat Melayu. Penulis menggunakan kaedah pensejarahan, perbandingan dan analisis kandungan bagi menyiapkan kajian ini. Hasil kajian mendapati pentadbir British memperkecilkan sumbangan sistem pendidikan agama Islam di Tanah Melayu dan beranggapan kegagalan Tanah Melayu mencapai ketamadunan yang tinggi disebabkan berpegang kepada Islam yang dianggap tidak releven dengan perkembangan semasa. Justeru, bagi memperbaiki kelemahan tersebut perlaksanaan sistem pendidikan Barat dilihat sebagai langkah yang tepat bagi menerapkan fahaman sekularisme ke dalam pemikiran masyarakat Melayu di Tanah Melayu

The Stage of Western Orientalists Scholarly Studies in Islam: A review] Peringkat pendekatan kajian sarjana Orientalis Barat terhadap Islam: Satu analisis

Majority of the orientalists adhere to the philosophy of logical empirical positivism, a belief that emphasizes on the total use of mind as a key approach to obtaining accurate scientific facts based on systematic and thorough method of research. This philosophy refuses to prove a fact using sources from the revelation because it is considered irrelevant in historical proof and has created biased and sceptical views about the Malay community in Malaya. This article focuses on the analysis of the orientalist approach in evaluating Islam, as well as the extent to which Islam influenced the lives of the people in Malaya. The author used historiography and comparative methods to analyse the orientalists’ views. The results showed that the orientalist thinking approach in evaluating Islam and its followers especially the Malay community presented a sceptical viewpoint, which has made each of these writings biased on a one-sided judgment and deviated from the historical development of the great Islamic civilization. This false judgement had emerged due to the weakness of the orientalists to understand the Muslims, especially the Malay community due to the European-centric thinking known as Euro-centrism. This thought elevated Europe as a great and civilized nation over other nations, the so-called "ambassador of civilization", and the saviour of all need-to-be civilized nations

Kemunculan golongan Syiah mula kelihatan di Malaysia setelah tercetusnya revolusi Iran tahun 1979 menyebabkan ajaran mereka menular dalam masyarakat Melayu Islam. Ini dapat diperhatikan dengan kemunculan hauzah-hauzah Syiah Melayu di seluruh Malaysia, tangkapan-tangkapan pihak jabatan agama Islam negeri terhadap aktiviti penyebaran Syiah dan kemunculan para graduan Melayu daripada Iran dan lain-lain negara. Kajian ini bertujuan membongkar kesan pengaruh dakyah Syiah di Malaysia terhadap pelajar-pelajar sekolah agama menengah di Selangor serta tahap pengetahuan mereka terhadap ajaran ini. Kajian kuantitatif ini bersifat diskriptif menggunakan kaedah tinjauan (survey reseach) melalui instrumen soal selidik dan purposive sample kepada 756 pelajar-pelajar SPM tahun 2018 daripada 9 buah sekolah menengah asrama penuh. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa 7 responden mempunyai rakan berfahaman Syiah, 1 responden terlibat dengan ajaran Syiah, dan seramai 107 responden tidak pernah mendengar taklimat atau ceramah berkenaan dengan kesesatan Syiah. Justeru usaha menyedarkan masyarakat Islam dalam kalangan pelajar muslim tentang penyelewangan ajaran Syiah dan kesesatan mereka perlu ditekankan dan pendedahan secara berperingkat perlu dilaksanakan sebelum mereka melangkah ke alam universiti yang pastinya lebih terbuka dan mencabar
