Penguatan Keperibadian Anggota Angkatan Tentara Malaysia Melalui Program Pendidikan Islam Fiqih Ibadah

Absctract: The stability and strength of a military organization is generally based on three main aspects: the strength of firepower, the ability of mobility, and the strength of the fighting spirit among its personnel. To enhance the strength of fighting spirit among members of the Malaysian Armed Forces, the Malaysian Armed Forces Religious Corps (Kor Agama Angkatan Tentara – KAGAT) has been tasked to achieve this via Islamic Education approach. One of the modules implemented by KAGAT for this purpose is using Fardu Ain Education Module (Modul Pendidikan Islam Fardu Ain – PIFA). This paper discusses the development and implementation of the PIFA module from the history of execution until it becomes a compulsory requirement for the promotion process and career path especially among members of different ranks in the Malaysian Armed Forces. This paper employs the qualitative design methods where historical review and analysis of available documents are carried out. The findings indicate that Islamic education in the Malaysian Armed Forces that started since the establishment of KAGAT in 1985, has undergone several improvement processes until the PIFA module was received as a module that must be attended by members of different ranks. It was found that this module has had important implications in strengthening and appreciation of Islam among the personnel of the Malaysian Armed Forces.

Strengthening divine values for self-regulation in religiosity: insights from Tawakkul (trust in God)

Purpose Reflections about fostering moral and spiritual qualities are the key point of view when considering the essence of religious beliefs in the theories about moral foundations. As a part of the spiritual values aimed at instructing human beings, mainly Muslims, tawakkul (trust in God) and tawhid (belief to God) are to be enhanced to situate the core religious foundation as the basic element for life at individual and social levels in the Muslim communities. This paper aims to critically examine tawakkul and tawhid to strengthening divine values as a foundation of self-regulation in religiosity. Design/methodology/approach This paper aims to critically examine tawakkul and tawhid to strengthening divine values as a foundation of self-regulation in religiosity. The literature review from referred journals was conducted using keywords on divine values, self-regulation in religiosity and tawakkul and tawhid. In order to obtain such literature, the critical analysis was conducted by organising substantive keywords. Then, extraction of data with deep literature analysis was carried out to interpret the findings. The key elements were analysed and synthesised into a new interpretation, conceptualisation and modelling of conceptualising tawakkul and tawhid concerns for sustainability of divine values for self-regulation in religiosity. Findings The finding reveals that the significance of conceptualising tawakkul and tawhid refers to as sustainability of divine involvement, as an emotionally religious commitment and as a consciously held religious discipline. Primarily, as the religious principle founded on a basic element transferred into individual and social levels, Islamic insights from tawakkul and tawhid offer valuable considerations for the understanding and amelioration of development by contributing a model that bases the “mental” and “spiritual” elements on a religious foundation, as an ultimate component for faith, a religious commitment and a belief in an authoritarian God to foster moral and spiritual qualities amidst the society. Originality/value Regulating tawakkul and tawhid to enhance dynamically constructive system for moral personality through critical examination as a foundation for religious-based self-regulation offers valuable considerations for the understanding and amelioration of development. Critical examination of tawakkul and tawhid as a foundation for religious self-regulation is considerably engaged to enhance the understanding and amelioration of development. It does so by contributing a model that bases mental and spiritual elements on a religious foundation, as an ultimate component for faith, religious commitment and belief in an authoritarian God to foster moral and spiritual qualities among human beings.

Kekuatan organisasi ketenteraan boleh diukur menerusi tiga elemen penting iatu daya tembak (fire power), daya gerak (mobility power) dan daya juang (combat power). Aspek daya juang merangkumi aspek kesiagaan spiritual merupakan elemen asas yang perlu diperkukuhkan dalam diri setiap anggota tentera. Ia perlu berada pada tahap yang tinggi dan sentiasa bersedia mempertahankan kedaulatan negara. Kesiagaan insititusi ketenteraaan tidak hanya dinilai dari kelengkapan asset dan alatan canggih sematamata, malah yang terpenting ialah nilai kerohanian dalam diri setiap anggota tentera terutamanya dari sudut kesiagaan diri menggalas tanggungjawab dan amanah negara.
