[Bibliometric Studies on Research Publication Materials: Towards The Latest Research in Islamic Studies] Kajian Bibliometrik Terhadap Bahan Penerbitan Penyelidikan Berkaitan Delima: Ke Arah Penyelidikan Terkini Dalam Bidang Pengajian Islam

Pomegranates are an antioxidant-rich superfood with alternative and natural medicine resources for the natural health community. From the perspective of ancient medical practice, pomegranate is in a highest ranking of healthy fruits because of its diverse beneficial in curing diseases. Trend research publications pomegranates were studied. The study focused on content analysis, especially in the field of primary research on pomegranate. Referring to the results of 'literature review' on pomegranate, researchers found that the majority of previous research on pomegranate dominated by journal articles by 85.5 percent. Research on the method of analysis conducted in the previous studies found that most studies on pomegranate done on a scientific analysis (laboratory studies). Studies on aspects of science has been divided into six areas. Focus areas include scientific discussion of pomegranate is pharmaceutical, Food Science, Botany, Bio-Medical, Bio-Chemistry and Microbiology. Only one field of study that focuses on the analysis of Islamic view focusing on Islamic Education. Additional fields of Environmental Education (Flora) are also included by researchers to collect data and find a results on plants that contain pomegranate. Thus, the efforts of researchers from Universiti Malaya through grants TRGS (TR001A-2014) entitled 'Safe and Health Uses of Fruits and Herbs Mentioned in Al-Quran and Ahadith: An Analysis of ethnomedicinal Importance in Islamic Products in Malaysia' are very significant in the development of science. Advanced new study of henna is expected to produce benefits to Malaysia as a whole.   Keyword: Pomegranate; Research trend; Recommandations, New Research Studies, Malaysian Product     Delima (pomegranate) merupakan bahan perubatan semula jadi yang amat bernilai. Dalam amalan perubatan kuno (ancient healing benefits), delima berada pada senarai teratas disebabkan manfaat kegunaannya yang versatile. Trend penerbitan penyelidikan berkenaan delima telah dikaji. Kajian ditumpukan kepada analisis kandungan terutamanya dalam bidang penyelidikan utama berhubung delima. Merujuk hasil tinjauan literatur, pengkaji mendapati majoriti penyelidikan lepas mengenai delima di dominasi oleh artikel jurnal sebanyak 85.5%. Melihatkan metode analisis yang pernah dilakukan, penyelidikan lepas berkenaan delima kebanyakannya berkisar tentang analisis saintifik (kajian makmal). Bagi kajian sains sahaja, telah terbahagi kepada enam bidang kajian. Fokus aspek perbincangan saintifik terhadap delima meliputi bidang farmasi, sains pemakanan (food science), sains botani, bio-perubatan, bio-kimia dan mikrobiologi. Hanya satu bidang yang memfokuskan analisis berasaskan pengajian Islam (Islamic Studies). Tambahan bidang pendidikan alam sekitar (flora) turut dimuatkan pengkaji bagi mengumpulkan hasil kajian yang bersifat data umum tentang tumbuhan termasuk delima. Justeru, usaha terkini para penyelidik dari Universiti Malaya melalui geran TRGS (TR001A-2014A) bertajuk ‘Safe and Health Uses of Fruits and Herbs Mentioned in Al-Quran and Ahadith: An Analysis of Ethnomedicinal Importance in Islamic Products in Malaysia’ amat signifikan dalam perkembangan ilmu. Lanjutan kajian baru terhadap delima diharapkan menghasilkan sesuatu bagi manfaat Malaysia seluruhnya

Analisis bibliometrik terhadap bahan penerbitan berhubung kapur barus: meneliti potensi penyelidikan terbaru / Mohd Farhan Md Ariffin... [et al.]

Kapur barus (camphor) merupakan khazanah alam semulajadi yang amat bernilai. Trend penerbitan penyelidikan berkenaan kapur barus telah dikaji. Kajian ditumpukan kepada pengumpulan dan analisis kandungan terutamanya dalam bidang penyelidikan utama berhubung kapur barus. Merujuk hasil ‘literature review’, pengkaji mendapati penyelidikan lepas mengenai kapur barus didominasi oleh artikel jurnal (65.6%) dan buku (26.2%). Melihatkan metode analisis yang pernah dilakukan, penyelidikan lepas berkenaan kapur barus kebanyakannya berkisar tentang analisis saintifik (kajian makmal). Bagi kajian sains sahaja, telah terbahagi kepada lima bidang kajian. Fokus aspek perbincangan saintifik terhadap kapur barus meliputi bidang Pharmacology, Bio-Teknologi, Sains Botani, Bio-Perubatan dan Bio-Kimia. Dinilai dari jumlah penyelidikan, sebanyak 43 jenis bahan melibatkan kajian dari aspek saintifik dibandingkan hanya 3 berasaskan pengajian Islam (Islamic Studies) dan 15 berkaitan sejarah (histories). Namun, penyelidikan mengenai pokok dan sifat kapur barus spesies Asia Tenggara Tenggara (jenis Dryobalanops Camphora Aromatica) amat kurang. Kajian paling banyak berkisar mengenai kapur barus yang hanya terdapat di China dan Jepun (jenis Cinnamomum camphora). Oleh itu, bahan ilmiah berkaitan pokok kapur barus Asia Tenggara, Dryobalanops Camphora Aromatica dari kedua sudut agama, juga perincian saintifik amat terhad. Justeru, usaha lanjutan terhadap kapur barus diharapkan mampu menghasilkan sesuatu bagi manfaat Malaysia

Al-Sulh (perdamaian) menurut perspektif al-Qur’an / Mohd Asmadi Yakob

Sulh bermaksud perdamaian apabila satu kontrak diadakan bagi mencapai perdamaian antara dua pihak yang bertelagah. Sulh mempunyai peranan yang besar kepada masyarakat Islam bagi mewujudkan sebuah masyarakat yang aman sejahtera. Menyedari peranan Sulh sebagai satu kaedah penting bagi mencari perdamaian antara pihak yang bertelagah, kertas ini akan membincangkan konsep Sulh menurut perspektif al-Qur’an. Artikel ini merupakan suluhan awal bagi projek FRGS kami yang bertajuk ‘Adaptasi Model Rangka Kerja Sulh menurut Islam di Malaysia’. Kajian ini mengaplikasikan metode kajian perpustakaan dengan meneliti ayat-ayat al-Qur’an yang membincangkan tentang Sulh selain menyoroti perbincangan para mufassir tentang konsep Sulh. Metodologi yang digunakan ini bagi menyiapkan kajian ini sebenarnya adalah berdasarkan metodologi tafsir Mawdu’i yang membuat kajian makna lafaz Sulh berdasarkan ayat-ayat al-Qur’an sendiri

Tumbuhan selasih dalam al-Quran dan Hadith: analisis terhadap manfaatnya berasaskan kepada penyelidikan semasa / Khadher Ahmad … [et al.]

Selasih (nama saintifik; Ocimum basilicum Linn.) merupakan khazanah alam semulajadi yang istimewa. Penyebutan tentangnya yang dirakamkan dalam alQuran dan al-Hadith telah menyerlahkan sisi istimewanya. Namun begitu, tidak ramai yang menyedari akan fakta ini. Malah, selasih dianggap tumbuhan yang kurang berharga kerana tidak bernilai komersial. Populariti selasih yang kurang berbanding delima, anggur dan kurma menjadikannya dipandang sepi. Kedangkalan manusia untuk mengenal, mengkaji dan memahami manfaat selasih menjadikannya tidak dikenali, kurang dikaji, tidak diyakini dan jarang digunakan. Oleh itu, kajian ini akan menonjolkan kelebihan dan manfaat yang boleh didapati daripada selasih. Kajian ini menggunapakai keutamaan perincian saintifik dalam menyenarai secara fakta manfaat-manfaat selasih. Dalil daripada al-Quran dan al-Hadith akan menjadi asas bagi menyatakan signifikan selasih daripada perspektif Islam. Kajian ini turut menggunapakai metodologi bibliometrik terhadap selasih. Ini penting bagi memperoleh data yang berautoriti. Hasilnya, didapati majoriti penyelidikan lepas mengenai selasih didominasi oleh artikel jurnal (65.7%) dan disertasi sarjana (13.1%). Kajian lepas berkenaan selasih kebanyakannya berkisar tentang perincian saintifik yang meliputi bidang Farmakologi, Bio-Teknologi, Food Science, Parasitologi and Pesticide, Sains Botani, Bio-Perubatan, Bio-Kimia dan Mikrobiologi. Hasil analisis kandungan turut menemui bahawa daun, minyak, biji dan keseluruhan bahagian pokok bahkan ekstrak daripada pokok selasih mempunyai pelbagai manfaat dari sudut kesihatan misalnya antioksida, antibakteria, antimikrob dan penghindar makhluk perosak. Melihatkan potensi sedia ada, lanjutan penyelidikan terhadap selasih penting bagi manfaat Malaysia

Alternative dispute resolution in Islamic finance: What’s next? / Rafidah Mohd Azli... [et al.]

In Islamic transaction, the disputations between two or more parties could affect the roles and responsibilities. Furthermore, when the court received a case from disputed parties, there will be a perception among each of parties of win-lose situation, whereby one party embellished with satisfaction, while the other party will beat in suffering, so the impact is the relationship between two parties are become farther. Therefore, alternative dispute resolution (ADR) in Islamic Finance is suggested in by many Muslim economist and legal experts as a substitute to any further legal activities. This is because it will satisfy many of litigants and it provides a complementary substitute to litigation. The study about ADR in Islamic finance has been done by previous literature. By the way, the implementation of ADR in Islamic financial institutions still needs to be elaborated. Therefore, this paper aims to discuss about updated issues and challenges of implementations of ADR in Islamic finance. This paper found that the ADR in Islamic finance need a model to make the ADR more flexible and eligible with different kinds of conflicts
