Is Bias And Impartiality In The Eye Of The Beholder? An Exploration on Reflexivity And Its Contribution Towards Credible Qualitative Research
Background: Reflexivity is a practice used in qualitative research in order to overcome issues of bias. Bias has been known to arise surreptitiously in the subjective interpretation and analysis of qualitative findings. This paper explores the literature on the practice of reflexivity and finds a gap in the exemplification of the practice of reflexivity itself. The existing literature is still somewhat vague on how and what reflexive notes are and how they can be integrated within the actual research itself. Objective: The aim of this paper is to narrate various notes on reflexivity that have been conducted on a qualitative research. Methods: The qualitative research explores the expectations of industry practitioners on graduate employability skills for a higher education internship programme in Brunei Darussalam. Results: Based on the results of reflexive notes of the study, the findings show several factors that arise that contribute towards impartial interpretation of research findings which include language, proximity and familiarity, shared knowledge and interview structure. An additional factor also shows how bias may contribute towards inequity. Conclusion: Therefore, this result shows the importance of impartial collaboration between both higher education and industry practitioners to overcome the issue of inequity.

Kerangka Nilai al‑Quran sebagai Asas Pembangunan Kurikulum Kerja Sosial Menerusi Pendekatan Tafsir al‑Mawdu‘iy [The Qur’anic Values Framework as the Foundation for Developing a Social Work Curriculum through the Tafsir al-Mawdu‘iy Approach]
Pembangunan kurikulum kerja sosial berasaskan kerangka nilai al-Quran menawarkan alternatif kepada paradigma sekular yang kebiasaannya menekankan kebajikan material berbanding kesejahteraan insan secara holistik. Dipandu oleh pendekatan tafsir al-Mawdu‘iy kajian ini meneliti ayat-ayat al-Quran yang berkaitan dengan nilai asas Islam — aqidah, syariah, dan akhlak —sebagaimana dihuraikan dalam karya tafsir klasik dan kontemporari termasuk tafsir Ibn Kathir, al-Munir dan al-Maraghiy. Analisis menunjukkan bahawa nilai-nilai al-Qur’an bukan sekadar berperanan sebagai panduan etika, malah bertindak sebagai prinsip epistemologi yang mampu membentuk asas konseptual, struktur organisasi, dan hasil pembelajaran dalam kurikulum kerja sosial berteraskan Islam. Berdasarkan dapatan ini, makalah ini mengemukakan satu kerangka kurikulum integratif yang mengharmonikan ilmu naqli dan aqli, bagi memastikan bakal pengamal kerja sosial membangunkan kompetensi profesional yang kukuh serta berlandaskan petunjuk Ilahi. Pendekatan ini memperkukuh paradigma Islam dalam reka bentuk kurikulum dan melahirkan pengamal yang memiliki keteguhan spiritual sambil berupaya menunaikan tanggungjawab sosial secara berkesan.

HAMKA: Mufassir Reformis Kebangkitan Islam Di Indonesia
Artikel ini bertujuan mengenal pasti salah seorang tokoh ulung nusantara iaitu Hamka. Beliau merupakan seorang reformis Islam di Indonesia dan mufassir (ahli tafsir). Perbincangan mengenai kehebatan dan perjuangan Hamka sering diperkatakan dalam konteks kebangkitan Melayu Islam dari dahulu sehingga kini. Tambahan pula, kehebatan beliau turut dibayangi oleh karyanya Tafsir al-Azhar. Namun, sebagai seorang mufassir dan reformis kebangkitan Melayu Islam di Indonesia, adakah terdapat hubung kait antara tafsiran yang dilakukan dengan perjuangan? Apakah elemen-elemen perjuangan dalam tafsiran beliau bagi mengembalikan kehebatan umat Islam? Oleh itu, makalah ini menggunakan kaedah analisis kandungan terhadap karya Hamka iaitu Tafsir al-Azhar untuk menjawab persoalan-persoalan tersebut. Perbincangan dalam makalah ini disusun dalam dua bahagian. Pertama, perbincangan mengenai sejarah perjuangan Hamka dan penulisan tafsirnya. Kedua, menganalisis elemen-elemen reformis dalam Tafsir al-Azhar. Hasilnya, makalah ini mendapati lima corak reformis dalam tafsirannya iaitu galakan penggunaan pancaindera, kesepaduan antara dalil naqli dengan aqli, tauhid sebagai pasak kehidupan dan falsafah al-Qur’an sebagai penyelesaian, memberi jawapan terhadap isu-isu dalam masyarakat Islam, perbandingan antara kitab Taurat, Injil dengan al-Quran. Dapat disimpulkan bahawa kesemua elemen ini berada pada landasan yang tepat untuk mengembalikan kehebatan generasi Islam khususnya di Indonesia. This article aims to identify one of the foremost figures of the Malay–Indonesian world, Hamka, who was an Islamic reformist in Indonesia and a mufassir (Qur’anic exegete). Discussions on Hamka’s intellectual stature and struggle are frequently situated within the broader narrative of the Islamic revival among the Malay–Muslim community from the past to the present. Moreover, his scholarly prominence is closely associated with his monumental work, Tafsir al-Azhar. However, as a mufassir and a reformist figure in the Islamic revival in Indonesia, the question arises as to whether there is a relationship between his Qur’anic interpretations and his reformist struggle. What are the elements of reform embedded in his exegesis that aim to restore the strength and vitality of the Muslim ummah? Accordingly, this article employs a content analysis method on Hamka’s work, Tafsir al-Azhar, to address these questions. The discussion is structured into two main sections. The first examines Hamka’s biographical background, his reformist struggle, and the context of his exegetical writing. The second analyzes the reformist elements present in Tafsir al-Azhar. The findings reveal five reformist patterns in his exegesis: the encouragement of the use of human senses and reason, the integration of naqli(revealed) and aqli (rational) evidence, the centrality of tawhid as the foundation of life and the Qur’anic worldview as a solution, engagement with contemporary issues faced by Muslim society, and comparative discussion between the Torah, the Gospel, and the Qur’an. It can be concluded that these elements collectively operate within a sound framework aimed at restoring the excellence of the Muslim generation, particularly in Indonesia.

Analisis Matlamat Pembangunan Mapan ke-5 bagi Domain Kesaksamaan Gender berdasarkan Maqasid al-Syariah
Artikel ini bertujuan menganalisis domain kesaksamaan gender dalam Matlamat Pembangunan Mapan (MPM) -5 berdasarkan maqasid al-syariah. Oleh itu, artikel ini mempunyai dua objektif utama. Pertama, menjelaskan konsep gender di dalam Islam dan barat. Kedua, menganalisis kelompangan sedia ada dalam MPM-5 yang tidak menepati maqasid al-Syariah. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif melalui berasaskan dokumentasi digunakan untuk mengumpulkan data berkaitan konsep gender menurut Islam dan berkaitan MPM-5. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis menggunakan kaedah analisis kandungan. Hasil kajian ini menunjukkan bahawa Islam berpandangan dan mengiktiraf lelaki dan perempuan sahaja sebagai gender manusia. Manakala, barat pula berpandangan gender adalah binaan masyarakat yang ditentukan oleh manusia dan boleh berubah-ubah berdasarkan situasi. Selain itu juga, kajian mendapati bahawa terdapat kelompangan MPM-5 yang sedia ada adalah MPM-5 ini mengiktiraf secara tidak langsung golongan transgender atau transeksual kerana MPM-5 merangkumi jantina yang telah diubah. Selain itu juga, MPM-5 didapati tidak selari dengan maqasid al-syariah. Sumbangan utama kajian ini adalah kajian ini mencadangkan pemurnian bagi MPM-5 kesaksamaan gender kepada istilah keadilan gender kepada negara Islam dan pelaksanaan MPM-5 berdasarkan maqasid al-syariah. This article aims to analyse the domain of gender equality in Sustainable Development Goal (SDG)-5 from the perspective of maqasid al-syariah. Accordingly, the article pursues two main objectives. First, it explains the concept of gender in Islam and in the Western tradition. Second, it analyses the existing gaps within SDG-5 that are inconsistent with maqasid al-syariah. This study adopts a qualitative approach based on document analysis to collect data related to the concept of gender in Islam and the framework of SDG-5. The collected data are analysed using content analysis methods. The findings indicate that Islam recognises only male and female as the categories of human gender. In contrast, the Western perspective conceptualises gender as a social construct determined by human agency and subject to change according to context. Furthermore, the study finds that existing gaps in SDG-5 include its implicit recognition of transgender or transsexual individuals, as SDG-5 encompasses genders that have been altered. In addition, SDG-5 is found to be misaligned with the objectives of maqasid al-syariah. The primary contribution of this study lies in its proposal to refine the SDG-5 gender equality framework for Muslim countries by shifting from the notion of gender equality to gender justice and by implementing SDG-5 in accordance with maqasid al-syariah.

Analisis Kejayaan Pemerintahan Islam Berasaskan Pelaksanaan Prinsip Kepemimpinan Berteraskan Islam Umar Al-Khattab RA
Kepemimpinan merupakan perkara penting dan faktor utama dalam mencapai matlamat organisasi. Seorang pemimpin benar-benar menentukan kemajuan sesebuah negara dan makmurnya sesebuah penduduk. Kepemimpinan masa kini mengalami banyak kemunduran dan kegagalan, banyak orang memerintah negara tetapi Islam tidak ditegakkan. Rakyat hilang kepercayaan kepada kepemimpinan Islam kerana pemimpin hari ini tidak berjiwa kepimpinan dan sahsiah yang baik sesuai prinsip kepemimpinan berteraskan Islam yang diajarkan oleh Rasulullah SAW dan para sahabatnya. Seorang sahabat yang dikagumi pemerintahannya iaitu Umar al-Khattab RA menjadi tumpuan dalam kajian ini. Beliau merupakan khalifah kedua dan tokoh penting dalam sejarah tamadun Islam. Sebagai khalifah kedua, terdapat prinsip-prinsip yang digunakan dalam kepimpinannya dan amat mengagumkan kemajuan kerajaannya. Berdasarkan perspektif positif ini, apakah yang boleh dicontohi daripada prinsip kepemimpinan berteraskan Islam Umar al-Khattab RA terhadap kepemimpinan masa kini? Bagaimanakah Umar al-Khattab RA mengamalkan prinsip kepimpinannya sehingga tercipta sebuah negara maju dan sebahagian besar rakyat mendapat impak positif dan mereka makmur? Daripada persoalan-persoalan tersebut, kajian ini dijalankan dalam bentuk kajian metod naratif, kerana ia bertepatan dengan data sekunder yang dikumpul menggunakan kaedah kajian dokumen. Data-data ini kemudiannya dianalisis menggunakan kaedah analisis kandungan kualitatif. Hasilnya, ia dapat membina kerangka konsep bagi prinsip kepemimpinan berteraskan Islam Umar al-Khattab RA yang merangkumi lapan prinsip iaitu bertauhidkan Allah SWT, takut hanya kepada Allah SWT, cinta kepada Rasulullah SAW, mempertahankan syariat Islam, memartabatkan kepimpinan khalifah, mengutamakan syura, menerapkan keadilan dan mengamalkan amanah. Berasaskan lapan prinsip ini, Umar al-Khattab RA diiktiraf kegemilangan pemerintahannya oleh orang Islam dan bukan Islam. Kerajaannya mendapat jaminan keselamatan dan hak dalam menyampaikan sebarang aduan, baik orang Islam mahupun yang bukan Islam, serta tidak berlaku kezaliman. Kepemimpinan Islam hari ini boleh mencontohi prinsip-prinsip ini supaya boleh menerima kesan positif yang sama seperti yang diterima dalam pemerintahan Umar al-Khattab RA. Leadership is an important matter and the main factor in achieving organizational goals. A leader really determines the progress of a country and the prosperity of a population. Today's leadership has many setbacks and failures, many people rule the country, but Islam is not enforced. The people have lost faith in Islamic leadership because today's leaders do not have a good leadership spirit and character in accordance with the principles of Islamic-based leadership taught by Rasulullah SAW and his companions. A companion whose rule was admired, Umar al-Khattab RA, became the focus of this study. He is the second caliph and an important figure in the history of Islamic civilization. As the second caliph, there are principles used in his leadership and the progress of his kingdom is very impressive. Based on this positive perspective, what can be emulated from the Islamic leadership principles of Umar al-Khattab RA towards today's leadership? How did Umar al-Khattab RA practice his leadership principles so that a developed country was created and most of the people had a positive impact and they prospered? From those questions, this study is conducted in the form of a narrative method study, because it coincides with the secondary data collected using the document study method. This data analyzed using qualitative content analysis methods. As a result, he was able to build a conceptual framework for the Islamic-based leadership principles of Umar al-Khattab RA, which includes eight principles, namely monotheism in Allah SWT, fearing only Allah SWT, love for the Messenger of God SAW, defending Islamic Sharia, dignifying the leadership of the caliph, prioritizing shura, applying justice and practice trust. Based on these eight principles, Umar al-Khattab RA recognized the glory of his rule by Muslims and non-Muslims. His government is guaranteed safety and the right to present any complaints, both Muslims and non-Muslims, and that there will be no tyranny. Islamic leadership today can emulate these principles so that it can receive the same positive effects as received in the reign of Umar al-Khattab RA.

Integriti Akademik dan Akauntabiliti Institusi Pengajian Tinggi di Malaysia: Pendekatan Berteraskan Nilai Islam
Integriti akademik merupakan asas utama kepada kredibiliti dan akauntabiliti institusi pengajian tinggi (IPT), namun perbincangan mengenainya di Malaysia sering bersifat normatif dan tidak sepenuhnya mencerminkan realiti pelaksanaan. Walaupun pelbagai dasar dan garis panduan telah diperkenalkan oleh pihak berautoriti, insiden ketidakjujuran akademik, salah laku penyelidikan serta kelemahan penyeliaan masih berulang dan menjejaskan reputasi institusi. Situasi ini menunjukkan wujudnya jurang antara pendekatan integriti yang berasaskan pematuhan prosedur dengan keperluan pembentukan akauntabiliti akademik yang berpaksikan nilai moral yang lebih mendalam. Bagi merungkai jurang ini, kajian ini menggunakan analisis dokumen dan analisis kandungan terhadap garis panduan integriti akademik IPT Malaysia serta literatur ilmiah berkaitan integriti dan etika Islam bagi mengenal pasti kelemahan konseptual dan asas pembinaan kerangka integriti yang lebih holistik. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa pendekatan sedia ada cenderung menekankan mekanisme kawalan luaran, manakala dimensi etika dalaman, kesedaran moral dan tanggungjawab akademik kurang diberikan penekanan. Sehubungan itu, artikel ini mencadangkan satu pendekatan integriti akademik berteraskan nilai Islam, khususnya tauhid, amanah, kejujuran dan tanggungjawab, sebagai asas pengukuhan akauntabiliti institusi. Pendekatan ini berpotensi memperkukuh tadbir urus akademik, membentuk budaya ilmu yang beretika dan menyumbang kepada kelestarian reputasi IPT Malaysia di peringkat global. Academic integrity is a fundamental pillar of credibility and institutional accountability in higher education; however, discussions on this issue in Malaysia often remain largely normative and insufficiently reflective of implementation realities. Despite the introduction of various policies and guidelines by regulatory authorities, recurring incidents of academic dishonesty, research misconduct, and weaknesses in supervisory practices continue to undermine institutional reputation. This situation highlights a clear gap between compliance-oriented integrity frameworks and the need for a deeper, value-based foundation of academic accountability. To address this gap, this study employs document analysis and content analysis of academic integrity guidelines in Malaysian higher education institutions alongside scholarly literature on Islamic ethics and integrity to identify conceptual limitations and the foundations of a more holistic integrity framework. The findings reveal that existing approaches tend to prioritise external regulatory control, while insufficient emphasis is placed on internal ethical formation, moral awareness, and academic responsibility. In response, this article proposes an academic integrity approach grounded in core Islamic values—namely tauhid (God-consciousness), amanah (trust), honesty, and responsibility—as a basis for strengthening institutional accountability. This values-based framework extends beyond procedural compliance by fostering ethical academic practices and a sustainable culture of knowledge production. Overall, the study contributes to the academic integrity discourse by offering a contextually grounded and theoretically robust Islamic normative perspective with the potential to enhance the global credibility and long-term sustainability of Malaysian higher education institutions.
Kerangka Konseptual Integrasi Waqaf dan Ibtida’ dengan Teori Linguistik Arab dalam Kajian Al-Quran
Ilmu Waqaf dan Ibtida’ merupakan salah satu komponen penting dalam tradisi ʿUlūm al-Qurʾān yang berperanan memastikan keutuhan makna dan kefasihan bacaan. Walau bagaimanapun, disiplin ini sering dikaji dalam kerangka tradisional tanpa diberikan perhatian yang mencukupi terhadap potensi integrasinya dengan ilmu linguistik moden. Kajian ini dijalankan dengan tujuan membina satu kerangka konseptual yang menggabungkan prinsip waqaf dan ibtida’ dengan teori linguistik Arab merangkumi aspek sintaksis, semantik, pragmatik dan Balāghah. Reka bentuk kualitatif berasaskan analisis konseptual digunakan melalui kajian kepustakaan terhadap sumber klasik dan kontemporari. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa kategori waqaf mempunyai hubungan rapat dengan analisis sintaksis, manakala ibtida’ yang tepat terbukti mengekalkan kesinambungan makna dari sudut semantik. Dimensi pragmatik pula menjelaskan kepentingan konteks komunikasi dalam menentukan kesesuaian berhenti dan memulakan bacaan, sementara dimensi balaghah menegaskan nilai retorik yang terserlah apabila waqaf dan ibtida’ diaplikasikan dengan betul. Kerangka konseptual yang dihasilkan bukan sahaja mengekalkan autoriti tradisi ulum al-Quran, malah memperluasnya dengan asas linguistik moden yang lebih saintifik.Implikasi kajian ini dapat dilihat dalam dua bidang utama. Pertama, ia memberikan nilai tambah kepada masyarakat awam melalui peningkatan kefahaman dan kualiti tadabbur al-Quran. Kedua, ia menawarkan asas yang kukuh kepada institusi pendidikan Islam untuk membangunkan modul pengajaran waqaf dan ibtida’ berasaskan integrasi linguistik moden. Secara keseluruhannya, kajian ini membuktikan bahawa pendekatan integratif mampu menyumbang kepada perkembangan penyelidikan al-Quran kontemporari serta pengukuhan metodologi dalam pengajian Islam. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa kategori waqaf mempunyai hubungan rapat dengan analisis sintaksis, manakala ibtida’ yang tepat terbukti mengekalkan kesinambungan makna dari sudut semantik. Dimensi pragmatik pula menjelaskan kepentingan konteks komunikasi dalam menentukan kesesuaian berhenti dan memulakan bacaan, sementara dimensi balaghah menegaskan nilai retorik yang terserlah apabila waqaf dan ibtida’ diaplikasikan dengan betul. Kerangka konseptual yang dihasilkan bukan sahaja mengekalkan autoriti tradisi ulum al-Quran, malah memperluasnya dengan asas linguistik moden yang lebih saintifik. science of Waqf and Ibtidāʾ is one of the essential components in the tradition of ʿUlūm al-Qurʾān, serving to ensure the integrity of meaning and fluency of recitation. However, this discipline is often studied within a traditional framework without sufficient attention given to its potential integration with modern linguistic sciences. This study was conducted with the aim of developing a conceptual framework that integrates the principles of waqf and ibtidāʾ with Arabic linguistic theories encompassing syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and balāghah. A qualitative design based on conceptual analysis was employed through a literature review of both classical and contemporary sources. The findings indicate that the categories of waqf are closely linked to syntactic analysis, while accurate ibtidāʾ is proven to preserve the continuity of meaning from a semantic perspective. The pragmatic dimension highlights the importance of communicative context in determining appropriate pauses and resumptions, while the balāghah dimension emphasizes the rhetorical value that emerges when waqf and ibtidāʾ are applied correctly. The resulting conceptual framework not only preserves the authority of the Qur’anic sciences tradition but also expands it with a more scientific foundation derived from modern linguistics. The implications of this study can be observed in two main areas. First, it adds value for the general public by enhancing understanding and the quality of Qur’anic reflection (tadabbur). Second, it provides a strong foundation for Islamic educational institutions to develop teaching modules on waqf and ibtidāʾ based on the integration of modern linguistics. Overall, this study demonstrates that an integrative approach can contribute to the advancement of contemporary Qur’anic research as well as the strengthening of methodology in Islamic studies
Aplikasi Model Kaunseling Tazkiyah Al-Nafs Dalam Kalangan Guru Bimbingan Dan Kaunseling
Kaunseling Islam kini dilihat sebagai satu pendekatan alternatif yang semakin mendapat perhatian dalam sistem pendidikan moden, khususnya dalam menangani cabaran emosi dan spiritual pelajar. Namun, masih wujud kekaburan dari segi keberkesanan serta penerapan model-model Islamik secara sistematik dalam amalan kaunseling sekolah. Kajian ini menganalisis aplikasi model kaunseling tazkiyah al-nafs dalam kalangan Guru Bimbingan dan Kaunseling (GBK) di Malaysia. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan kajian kes pelbagai lokasi, kajian ini menilai sejauh mana model tazkiyah al-nafs al-Ghazali diterapkan dalam amalan kaunseling, khususnya dalam menangani isu psiko spiritual pelajar. Kaedah temu bual separa berstruktur dengan 19 orang kaunselor Muslim digunakan bagi memperoleh data empirikal, yang dianalisis secara tematik menggunakan perisian NVivo 12. Hasil kajian menunjukkan empat tema terhasil: (1) sesi dimulakan dengan niat, zikir, dan penetapan matlamat, (2) identifikasi punca masalah melalui aspek ibadah dan hati, (3) rawatan spiritual berasaskan peningkatan ibadah dan refleksi kendiri, serta (4) penilaian kesan terapi melalui perubahan tingkah laku dan komitmen terhadap ibadah. Dapatan kajian membuktikan bahawa kaunseling Islam tunggal berdasarkan model al-Ghazali dapat memberikan pendekatan menyeluruh yang merangkumi aspek emosi, kognitif, dan spiritual bagi meningkatkan kesejahteraan psikologi pelajar. Implikasi kajian menekankan keperluan latihan intensif bagi kaunselor dalam menguasai teknik penyucian jiwa (tazkiyah al-nafs) serta keperluan manual prosedur standard bagi memperkasa pelaksanaan kaunseling Islam di sekolah. Kajian ini menyumbang kepada literatur kaunseling berteraskan nilai Islam dan menawarkan alternatif model intervensi psiko spiritual dalam pendidikan moden. Islamic counselling is increasingly recognized as a viable alternative within modern educational systems, particularly in addressing students’ emotional and spiritual challenges. However, ambiguities remain concerning its effectiveness and the systematic integration of Islamic models in school counselling practice. This study examines the application of the tazkiyah al-nafs counselling model among Muslim School Counsellors (Guru Bimbingan dan Kaunseling, GBK) in Malaysia. Employing a multi-site case study design, the research evaluates the extent to which al-Ghazālī’s tazkiyah al-nafs framework is operationalized in counselling practice, specifically in addressing students’ psychosocial and spiritual issues. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 19 Muslim counsellors and analysed thematically using NVivo 12 software. Four key themes emerged: (1) initiation of sessions through intention-setting, dhikr, and goal formulation; (2) identification of root problems through assessments of religious observance and inner states; (3) spiritual treatment based on enhanced religious practices and reflective self-purification; and (4) therapeutic outcome evaluation via behavioural change and commitment to worship. The findings affirm that an Islamic counselling model grounded in al-Ghazālī’s philosophy provides a holistic intervention approach that integrates emotional, cognitive, and spiritual dimensions to enhance students’ psychological well-being. The study underscores the need for intensive training in the practice of tazkiyah al-nafs and the development of standardized procedural manuals to strengthen the implementation of Islamic counselling in schools. This research contributes to the expanding literature on value-based Islamic counselling and proposes a viable psycho-spiritual intervention model within contemporary educational settings.

Tuan Guru Haji Abdullah bin Tuan Guru Haji Abdul Rahman Lubok Tapah merupakan seorang ulama Melayu yang sangat masyhur dan berpengaruh di negeri Kelantan. Sehingga kini terdapat beberapa penulisan tentang beliau yang berkait latar belakang kehidupan dan biografi beliau. Walaubagaimanapun tidak banyak kajian yang telah dilakukan berkaitan pemikiran dan penulisan beliau. Artikel ini akan menumpukan kepada aspek ini iaitu dengan menumpukan kepada pemikiran beliau melalui kitab beliau yang bertajuk Risalah Persediaan Bagi Sekalian Mukallaf. Kajian ini bersifat kualitatif iaitu menumpukan kepada latar belakang tokoh, latar belakang intelektual, sumbangannya kepada masyarakat, pengenalan kepada kitabnya dan pemikiran beliau. Hasil kajian mendapati metod Tuan Guru Abdullah Lubok Tapah dalam menerangkan 7 Sifat Maʿānī dipengaruhi oleh Bākūrah al-Amānī karya gurunya Syeikh Ismāʿīl bin ʿAbd al-Qādir al-Faṭānī (w. 1965M) yang menggunakan imbuhan awalan “pe” dalam menerjemahkan 7 sifat itu ke Bahasa Melayu. Beliau juga turut menggunakan istilah ‘sengoti’ untuk memudahkan pembacanya dalam memahami sifat-sifat ini. Hasil kajian ini dapat dirumuskan bahawa Tuan Guru Abdullah Lubok Tapah merupakan seorang tokoh dalam bidang akidah dan Ilmu Kalam yang dibuktikan oleh huraian dan penerangannya dalam kitab Risalah Persediaan bagi Sekalian Mukallaf.

Pendekatan Hisbah dalam pengurusan disiplin pelajar: kajian kes di Pondok Bustanul Arifin, Banting
Artikel ini meneroka pelaksanaan prinsip hisbah dalam pengurusan disiplin pelajar di Pondok Bustanul Arifin, Banting sebagai pendekatan alternatif berteraskan nilai rohani dan akhlak. Kajian ini menggunakan reka bentuk kualitatif interpretatif dengan kaedah temu bual separa berstruktur, pemerhatian lapangan dan analisis dokumen. Analisis tematik dijalankan berdasarkan lima elemen utama hisbah: musyaratah, muraqabah, muhasabah, mu‘atabah dan mu‘aqabah. Dapatan menunjukkan bahawa pengurusan disiplin pondok tidak hanya menekankan aspek hukuman fizikal, tetapi lebih kepada pemulihan sahsiah melalui pendekatan tarbawi berasaskan kasih sayang. Hukuman simbolik seperti penempatan dalam liang lahad, rotan di khalayak dengan iringan selawat, serta teguran berhemah diaplikasikan bagi membina kesedaran rohani dan tanggungjawab kendiri. Selain itu, hubungan guru dan pelajar yang bersifat kekeluargaan menjadikan proses hisbah lebih berkesan dalam membina disiplin tanpa menimbulkan dendam. Implikasi kajian ini menegaskan bahawa pendekatan hisbah berpotensi dijadikan model disiplin alternatif yang bersepadu, sesuai diadaptasi dalam sistem pendidikan Islam lain untuk membentuk pelajar yang berakhlak dan bertanggungjawab. This article explores the implementation of hisbah principles in managing student discipline at Pondok Bustanul Arifin, Banting as an alternative approach grounded in spiritual and moral values. Adopting an interpretive qualitative design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, field observations and document analysis. Thematic analysis was conducted based on five core elements of hisbah: musyaratah, muraqabah, muhasabah, mu‘atabah and mu‘aqabah. The findings reveal that disciplinary management in the pondok does not rely merely on physical punishment but emphasizes character rehabilitation through compassionate tarbawi approaches. Symbolic punishments such as liang lahad reflection, public caning accompanied by selawat, and constructive admonition are practiced to cultivate spiritual awareness and personal accountability. Furthermore, the familial relationship between teachers and students enhances the effectiveness of hisbah in fostering discipline without resentment. The study implies that hisbah-based discipline provides a holistic alternative model that can be adapted in other Islamic educational systems to nurture ethical and responsible students.
Krisis identiti peribadi dalam kandungan yang dihasilkan pengguna era digital
Kandungan yang dihasilkan pengguna (User-Generated Content, UGC) telah menjadi komponen utama dalam landskap pemasaran digital masa kini. UGC semakin mendapat perhatian dalam kalangan pengguna apabila pelantar media sosial menjadi tumpuan bagi memperoleh pendapat dan maklumbalas tentang produk dan perkhidmatan yang digunakan dan dijadikan panduan oleh pengguna lain untuk membuat pertimbangan sebelum membeli. Namun begitu, peningkatan tekanan sosial, tuntutan algoritma, dan jangkaan jenama telah menimbulkan satu fenomena yang semakin membimbangkan, iaitu krisis identiti peribadi dalam kalangan pencipta kandungan. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk meneroka bentuk-bentuk utama krisis identiti peribadi yang wujud dalam UGC di pelantar media sosial. Kajian ini menggunakan desk research untuk mengumpul data dan dianalisis melalui analisis kandungan kualitatif. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa krisis identiti peribadi wujud dalam empat bentuk iaitu ketidakselarasan identiti, keresahan terhadap pengiktirafan sosial, perbandingan sosial berterusan, dan kegagalan menyatukan nilai agama dan kandungan yang dihasilkan pengguna. Keempat-empat bentuk krisis tersebut memberikan kesan yang lebih kompleks kepada identiti peribadi seorang Muslim kerana pertindihan antara tuntutan identiti digital dengan tuntutan sebagai Muslim sebenar. Penekanan terhadap nilai-nilai peribadi Muslim seperti berkata benar, amanah, menyampaikan, bijaksana, keikhlasan, bertanggungjawab, dan kesempurnaan perlu dititikberatkan dalam kalangan pengguna era digital. User-Generated Content (UGC) has emerged as a central component of today’s digital marketing landscape. UGC is increasingly gaining attention among consumers as social media platforms serve as key spaces for obtaining opinions and feedback on products and services, which are often used as references by other users before making purchasing decisions. However, the rise of social pressure, algorithmic demands, and brand expectations has led to a growing phenomenon, namely the personal identity crisis among content creators. This study aims to explore the key forms of personal identity crisis present in UGC on social media platforms. It employs desk research to gather data, which is then analyzed using qualitative content analysis. The findings reveal that personal identity crises manifest in four main forms: identity misalignment, anxiety over social recognition, continuous social comparison, and the failure to reconcile religious values with the content produced. All key forms of the crisis have a more complex impact on the personal identity of a Muslim due to the overlap between the demands of digital identity and the obligations of being a true Muslim. Accordingly, greater emphasis must be placed on upholding core Islamic personal values such as honesty, trustworthiness, responsibility, wisdom, sincerity, and excellence within the digital era.
Systematic literature review on Muslim friendly tourism: future research direction
Permintaan yang semakin meningkat terhadap Pelancongan Mesra Muslim (MFT) turut memberi kesan kepada penyelidikan dalam bidang ini. Sejak sedekad yang lalu, para penyelidik telah mengkaji MFT dari pelbagai perspektif serta dalam kaitannya dengan pelbagai industri dan kategori perkhidmatan. Namun begitu, masih terdapat kekurangan kajian yang secara sistematik untuk menilai semula literatur sedia ada terhadap Pelancongan Mesra Muslim. Kajian semakan literatur sistematik ini direka bentuk untuk menilai kepentingan amalan Pelancongan Mesra Muslim. Ia bertujuan untuk meneroka hubungan antara konsep, amalan dan arah tuju penyelidikan masa depan. Kajian ini menggunakan reka bentuk penyelidikan bersepadu yang merangkumi semakan sistematik terhadap kajian kualitatif dan penerbitan pendapat pakar berdasarkan piawaian penerbitan, iaitu ROSES (Reporting standards for Systematic Evidence Syntheses). Kajian ini memilih artikel daripada dua pangkalan data utama iaitu Scopus dan Web of Science serta satu pangkalan data sokongan iaitu Google Scholar. Tiga tema utama telah dikenal pasti daripada kajian ini. Pertama, konsep Mesra Muslim. Kedua, produk dan perkhidmatan yang ditawarkan dalam amalan MFT. Ketiga, cadangan arah tuju penyelidikan masa depan adalah untuk melaksanakan dan mengaitkan konsep tersebut ke dalam amalan secara sewajarnya. Kajian ini menekankan kepentingan Pelancongan Mesra Muslim dalam industri pelancongan dan pelaksanaannya. Ia menunjukkan bahawa MFT perlu menukar pelan penyesuaian kepada amalan agar selari dengan keperluan dan permintaan pelancong. Ia juga perlu memberi tumpuan kepada kandungan penyelidikan yang khusus bagi arah tuju penyelidikan masa depan. The upward demand of Muslim Friendly Tourism (MFT) has impacted the research on it too. Over the last decade researchers have studied MFT from various perspectives and in relation to different industries and services categories. However there were still insufficient studies that systematically review the existing literature on MFT . This systematic literature review was designed to gauge the importance of MFT practice. It aimed to explore the nexus between the concept, practice and its future research direction. This study uses an integrated research design of systematic review of qualitative studies and expert opinion publications that was based on the publication standard, namely ROSES (Reporting standards for Systematic Evidence Syntheses). This study selected articles using two leading databases namely Scopus and Web of Science and one supporting database namely Google Scholar. Three major themes were evident from this study. First, Muslim Friendly concept. Second, products and services offered in the MFT practice. Third, the suggestion of future research direction is to implement and relate the concept into practice accordingly. This review highlights the importance of MFT in the tourism industry and its practice. It has shown that MFT need to change its adaptation plan into practice so that it is in line with the need and demand of tourists. It is also need to focus on specific content of research for its future research direction.
Kearifan tempatan dalam budaya persembahan tradisional Melayu di negeri Kelantan menurut perspektif hukum syarak
Kearifan tempatan meliputi tradisi dan amalan yang diamalkan dalam satu tempoh masa yang lama dan pembentukannya dipengaruhi oleh situasi lokaliti tertentu atau komuniti tempatan. Kelangsungan kearifan tempatan ini merupakan refleksi kepada nilai-nilai yang diterapkan oleh sesebuah masyarakat tempatan yang terbentuk melalui proses asimilisasi antara budaya fasa pra Islam dan fasa Islam telah membentuk dua kategori ‘urf iaitu ‘urf sahih yang diterima oleh syarak dan ‘urf fasid yang bercanggah dengan hukum syarak. Sehubungan dengan itu, kearifan tempatan di negeri Kelantan memerlukan kepada penilaian hukum syarak bagi memastikan ianya benar-benar boleh diamalkan ataupun sebaliknya. Kajian ini dilaksanakan menerusi pendekatan kualitatif sepenuhnya dengan menggunakan kaedah kepustakaan bagi mendapatkan data-data yang diperlukan. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa kearifan tempatan jelas dizahirkan dalam beberapa aspek kebudayaan di negeri Kelantan sebagaimana yang dapat dilihat dalam aspek jampi, tarian, penampilan atau pakaian, penggunaan prop, bentuk kerjasama yang dijalinkan dalam menganjurkan sesebuah majlis budaya persembahan dan pemilihan hari dan lokasi sesebuah persembahan kebudayaan. Secara keseluruhan, beberapa aspek kearifan tempatan dalam budaya persembahan tradisional Melayu perlu diselarikan dengan hukum syarak bagi memastikan kelangsungannya dapat dilestarikan untuk tatapan generasi masa hadapan. Local wisdom encompasses traditions and practices shaped by specific local contexts and sustained over time. Its continuity reflects the values of local communities formed through cultural assimilation between the pre-Islamic and Islamic phases, resulting in two categories of ‘urf: ‘urf ṣaḥīḥ, which is accepted by Sharia law, and ‘urf fāsid, which contradicts it. Accordingly, local wisdom in the state of Kelantan requires evaluation from the perspective of Sharia law to determine its permissibility. This study adopts a qualitative approach using library research methods. The findings reveal that local wisdom is manifested in several cultural aspects in Kelantan, including incantations, dance, attire, the use of props, cooperative practices in organizing cultural performances, as well as the selection of performance dates and venues. Overall, certain aspects of local wisdom in traditional Malay performance culture need to be aligned with sharia law to ensure their sustainability for future generations.

Analisis kaedah pendalilan hukum terhadap fatwa orang Islam menyambut perayaan Valentine’s Day di Jabatan Mufti Sarawak
Fatwa mengenai hukum umat Islam menyambut perayaan Valentine’s Day adalah salah satu fatwa yang dikeluarkan oleh Jabatan Mufti Sarawak pada 11 Ogos 2008. Setiap hukum yang diputuskan perlu melalui kaedah pendalilan dan proses istinbat yang teliti sebelum dimuktamadkan jenis hukumnya. Sebahagian besar kajian yang dilakukan mengenai isu penfatwaan dan perayaan seperti Valentine’s Day tertumpu kepada fatwa di peringkat kebangsaan dan negeri-negeri di Malaysia. Namun, kajian khusus terhadap fatwa yang dikeluarkan oleh Jabatan Mufti Sarawak masih terhad, dan ini menimbulkan jurang pengetahuan dalam bidang fekah kontemporari di Malaysia Timur. Justeru, kajian ini dijalankan bagi meneliti kaedah pendalilan yang diaplikasikan dalam penentuan fatwa tersebut. Dua objektif utama kajian ditetapkan, iaitu untuk mengenal pasti dan menganalisis kaedah pendalilan hukum yang digunakan dalam fatwa tersebut. Kajian ini menggunakan reka bentuk kajian kualitatif asas dengan kaedah pengumpulan data melalui kajian dokumen, manakala data dianalisis menggunakan kaedah analisis kandungan. Hasil kajian mendapati bahawa fatwa hukum umat Islam menyambut perayaan Valentine’s Day ditentukan melalui kaedah lafziyyat, iaitu kaifiyyat dilalat al-lafz ‘ala al-ma’na yang merangkumi empat pendekatan utama: ‘ibarat nas, isyarat nas, dilalat nas dan iqtida’ nas. Kajian ini merumuskan bahawa pendekatan ini memperlihatkan keprihatinan institusi fatwa dalam menjaga kemurnian akidah dan akhlak umat Islam, khususnya dalam mengekang pengaruh budaya luar yang boleh merosakkan nilai-nilai syariah. The fatwa regarding the permissibility of Muslims celebrating Valentine's Day was issued by the Mufti Department of Sarawak on 11 August 2008. Each ruling that is decided must go through a thorough method of reasoning and istinbat process before finalization. Most research on fatwas and celebrations like Valentine's Day focuses on fatwas at the national and state levels in Malaysia. However, specific studies focusing on the fatwas issued by the Sarawak Mufti Department remain limited, and this creates a knowledge gap in the field of contemporary fekah in East Malaysia. Therefore, this study aims to examine the method of reasoning applied in determining the fatwa. Two main objectives were established: to identify and analyze the method of legal reasoning used in the fatwa. This study used a basic qualitative research design with data collection methods through document review, while the data was analyzed using content analysis methods. The findings revealed that the legal fatwa of Muslims celebrating Valentine's Day was determined through the method of lafziyyat, namely kaifiyyat dilalat al-lafz 'ala al-ma'na which includes four main approaches: ‘ibarat nas, isyarat nas, dilalat nas dan iqtida’ nas. This study concluded that this approach shows the concern of the fatwa institution in maintaining the purity of the aqidah and morals of Muslims, especially in curbing the influence of external cultures that can damage shariah values.
Islamic Research Methodology in Selected Islamic Faculties in Nigeria
This study investigates the status, challenges, and evolving practices of Islamic research methodology (IRM) within selected Islamic faculties in Nigeria. Framed within the broader discourse on epistemic decolonization and the methodological pluralism, the paper explores how Islamic research methodology grounded in Quranic revelation (wahy), reason (‘aqal), empirical observation (tajribah), and ethical principles (akhlaq), is conceptualized and applied in Nigerian higher education. Despite Nigerian’s long standing Islamic intellectual traditions, findings reveal that Islamic research methodology remains marginalized by dominance of Western research paradigms, institutional resistance, curriculum gaps, and founding constraints. Additional barriers include limited international recognition, week interdisciplinary collaboration, and a persistent epistemological insecurity among early-career scholars. Drawing on qualitative data from semi-structured interview with academics, curriculum analysis, and documentary review, the study uncovers both systematic challenges facing Islamic research methodology, and the remarkable resilience of Nigerian scholars committed to its Advancement. The paper concludes that for Islamic research methodology to thrive, there is a need for standardized curricula the establishment of dedicated research centres, increased funding, and stronger integration into global Academic discourse. The study contributes to the growing body of literature advocating for indigenous research frameworks that are both epistemically authentic and socially relevant within post-colonial academic context. Makalah ini bertujuan untuk menyelidik status, cabaran dan amalan yang berkembang dalam Kaedah penyelidikan Islam di beberapa fakulti Pengajian Islam terpilih di Nigeria. Dengan mengambil kerangka wacana yang lebih luas berkaitan penyahjajahan epistemik dan pluralisme metodologi, makalah ini meneroka bagaimana kaedah penyelidikan Islam yang berasaskan wahyu al-Quran, akal (‘aqal), pemerhatian empirik (tajribah) dan prinsip etika (akhlak) difahami dan diaplikasikan dalam pendidikan tinggi di Nigeria. Walaupun Nigeria mempunyai tradisi intelektual Islam yang lama, dapatan menunjukkan bahawa status Kaedah Penyelidikan Islam masih terpinggir akibat dominasi paradigma penyelidikan Barat, rintangan institusi, jurang dalam kurikulum serta kekangan sejak penubuhannya. Cabaran lain termasuk pengiktirafan antarabangsa yang terhad, kerjasama antara bidang yang lemah, dan ketidakstabilan epistemologi dalam kalangan sarjana muda. Berdasarkan data kualitatif yang diperoleh melalui temu bual separa berstruktur bersama ahli akademik, analisis kurikulum dan semakan dokumen, makalah ini mendedahkan cabaran sistematik yang dihadapi oleh Kaedah Penyelidikan Islam serta ketahanan luar biasa para sarjana Nigeria yang komited memperjuangkannya. Makalah ini merumuskan bahawa bagi memastikan kaedah penyelidikan Islam berkembang, perlu ada kurikulum yang seragam, penubuhan pusat penyelidikan khusus, peningkatan dana, dan pengintegrasian yang lebih kukuh dalam wacana akademik global. Kajian ini menyumbang kepada peningkatan literatur yang memperjuangkan kerangka penyelidikan berasaskan tradisi tempatan yang autentik dari sudut epistemologi dan relevan secara sosial dalam konteks akademik pasca kolonial.
Memaknai Semula Ilhad Berasaskan Epistimologi dan Retrospektif
Sejarah umat Islam tidak pernah sunyi dari ancaman pemikiran yang menyeleweng. Salah-satunya ialah ateisme yang mula mendapat tempat dalam kalangan masyarakat moden hasil dari penularan falsafah Barat sejak zaman pra-modenisasi. Ateisme seringkali diterjemahkan sebagai ilḥād walaupun kedua-dua perkataan ini merupakan cambahan perbahasan pemikiran dari dua aliran yang berbeza iaitu pemikiran Barat dan Islam. Terjemahan secara literal ini dengan meminggirkan aspek etimologi dan sejarah kedua-dua tamadun ini menyukarkan istilah ilḥād untuk diterapkan secara tuntas dalam realiti masyarakat Islam. Oleh itu, kajian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kesesuaian penggunaan istilah ilḥād berasaskan epistimologi dan retrospektif. Kajian jenis kualitatif ini menggunakan reka bentuk kajian analisis kandungan. Data-data kajian dikumpulkan melalui kaedah pendokumentasian dan dianalisis secara analisis kandungan. Hasil mendapati bahawa ilḥād mempunyai makna yang lebih luas dan ia terarah kepada satu titik iaitu meleraikan diri dari ikatan ketuhanan dan menafikan fitrah. Perluasan semula makna istilah ini wajar diangkat bagi membolehkan ia difahami dan diterapkan secara tuntas dalam menyelesaikan masalah umat Islam semasa. Throughout Islamic history, the Muslim community has consistently faced challenges posed by deviant philosophies. Among these, atheism has increasingly influenced modern societies, especially following the widespread dissemination of Western philosophical ideas from pre-modern times. Atheism is frequently equated with the term ilḥād, despite originating from fundamentally distinct intellectual traditions of the Western and Islamic civilizations. Such literal translations overlook essential etymological and historical nuances, complicating the precise and effective application of the term ilḥād in contemporary Islamic discourse. Thus, this study critically reassesses the appropriateness of employing ilḥād through epistemological and retrospective lenses. Adopting a qualitative document-analysis methodology, relevant data were systematically gathered and examined via content analysis. Findings reveal that ilḥād possesses broader implications, primarily characterized by the act of detaching oneself from the divine bond and negating inherent human nature (fitrah). Therefore, expanding and refining the conceptual understanding of ilḥād is crucial for effectively addressing contemporary ideological challenges faced by the Muslim community.
Transformasi kemiskinan bandar melalui intervensi komuniti secara holistik: kajian kes projek MASA@Sungai Nibong
Kajian ini meneliti pelaksanaan dan impak Projek MASA@Sungai Nibong sebagai satu usaha memperkasakan komuniti miskin bandar atau asnaf (fakir dan miskin) melalui pendekatan intervensi berfasa, holistik dan berteraskan Islam. Bertitik tolak daripada prinsip pembangunan insaniah yang berasaskan nilai-nilai Islam dengan penekanan kepada tiga aspek utama iaitu pembangunan komuniti, tanggungjawab sosial Islam dan pemerkasaan berasaskan kekeluargaan, kajian ini menggunakan kaedah kualitatif asas untuk meneliti perkembangan ekonomi responden yang menghuni di sebuah pangsapuri wakaf di Pulau Pinang. Data yang dikumpul kemudian dianalisis menggunakan analisis kandungan. Empat tema utama dikenalpasti iaitu pemerkasaan ekonomi secara holistik, inisiatif keusahawanan dengan pemantauan berkala yang kerap, pengurangan kebergantungan kepada bantuan, dan peranan strategik pasangan ketua isi rumah (PKIR) sebagai ejen ekonomi baharu. Dapatan menunjukkan peningkatan ketara dalam pendapatan isi rumah, penyertaan aktif wanita dalam keusahawanan, serta peralihan daripada kebergantungan bantuan kepada keupayaan kendiri. Kajian ini seterusnya merumuskan Model Transformasi Asnaf Holistik (MOD.T.A.H) yang merangkumi lima komponen utama iaitu pemilihan sasaran strategik, intervensi menyeluruh yang diubah suai mengikut keperluan individu, pendekatan kekeluargaan dan komuniti, akses kepada peluang ekonomi dan bimbingan berterusan secara empati. Model ini berpotensi menjadi kerangka rujukan dalam usaha pengurusan kemiskinan bandar berteraskan Islam secara bersepadu dan lestari berpaksikan institusi zakat dan wakaf sedia ada. This study explores the implementation and impact of Projek MASA@Sungai Nibong, an initiative designed to empower urban poor community (or asnaf – poor and destitute) through a phased interventional, holistic, and Islamic-based approach. Anchored on the principles of humanistic development, with focus on three key aspects, community development, Islamic social responsibility, and family-centred empowerment, this study employed a basic qualitative method to examine the economic development of respondents residing in a waqf apartment in Pulau Pinang. The data collected was then analysed using content analysis. Four key themes emerged: holistic socioeconomic empowerment, frequent periodic monitoring of entrepreneurial initiatives, reduced dependency on zakat aid, and the strategic role of household spouses (PKIR) as new economic agents. The findings indicate a significant improvement in household income, increased entrepreneurial engagement among women, and a shift from welfare-dependence to self-sufficiency. The study culminates in the formulation of the Holistic Asnaf Transformation Model (MOD.T.A.H), which outlines five main components: strategic targeting, holistic-yet-customised intervention, family-community synergy, access to economic opportunities, and frequent follow-up with empathetic guidance. MOD.T.A.H offers a scalable framework for Islamic-based poverty management in urban contexts and proposes integration with existing zakat and waqf institutions to ensure sustainable and inclusive socioeconomic transformation.
Keperluan pembinaan kerangka Ta'dib Hisbah (Ta-His) untuk pembangunan insaniah remaja sekolah berasrama di Malaysia
Setiap individu remaja yang berada di sekolah berasrama di Malaysia semakin berdepan isu delinkuen dan cabaran kompleks akibat pengaruh media sosial, gaya hidup hedonistik dan kekaburan orientasi nilai yang condong kepada peradaban Barat (euro-centric dan western ethno-centric). Pelbagai pendekatan disiplin telah dilaksanakan, namun masih belum mampu menangani akar permasalahan yang berasaskan kekosongan jiwa dan kelemahan adab. Justeru, kajian ini bertujuan mencadangkan keperluan pembinaan satu kerangka pembangunan insaniah yang bersifat holistik berteraskan prinsip Islam iaitu melalui pendekatan ta’dib (pendidikan berteraskan nilai dan adab/akhlak) dan hisbah (pengawasan berteraskan nilai tauhid) untuk pembangunan insaniah remaja sekolah berasrama di Malaysia. Kajian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan menggunakan sumber data sekunder. Kajian ini meyakini bahawa integrasi ta’dib dan hisbah (Ta-His) diyakini mampu mampu menghasilkan satu kerangka pembangunan insaniah berimpak tinggi yang lebih komprehensif dan holistik. Di samping itu, dengan terbinanya kerangka Ta-His akan memberi sumbangan signifikan terhadap dasar pendidikan Islam dan amalan pembangunan insaniah khususnya remaja di sekolah berasrama di Malaysia. Every adolescent in boarding schools in Malaysia is increasingly facing complex challenges due to the influence of social media, hedonistic lifestyles and unclear value orientations that lean towards Western civilization (euro-centric and western ethno-centric). Various disciplinary approaches have been implemented, but they have not yet been able to address the root causes of the problem based on emptiness of the soul and weakness of manners. Therefore, this study aims to propose the need to build a holistic human development framework based on Islamic principles, namely through the approach of ta’dib (education based on values and manners) and hisbah (supervision based on monotheistic values) for the human development of adolescents in boarding schools in Malaysia. This study was conducted using a qualitative approach using secondary data sources. This study believes that the integration of ta’dib and hisbah (Ta-His) is believed to be able to produce a high-impact human development framework that is more comprehensive and holistic. In addition, the construction of the Ta-His framework will make a significant contribution to Islamic education policies and human development practices, especially for adolescents in boarding schools in Malaysia.
Konsep pemerintahan Islam berasaskan pengurusan sosial dan rohani: model kepimpinan Umar al-Khattab RA
Kajian ini meneliti berkaitan konsep pemerintahan Islam berasaskan pengurusan sosial dan rohani dalam kepimpinan Umar al-Khattab RA sebagai kerangka pembinaan pemerintahan Islam masa kini. Walaupun banyak kajian mengenai kepimpinan Islam telah dilakukan, kajian khusus mengenai konsep pemerintahan yang menekankan nilai sosial dan rohani masih kurang mendapat perhatian. Sejarah membuktikan bahawa kepimpinan Umar al-Khattab RA berjaya menggabungkan prinsip cinta kepada Rasulullah SAW, keadilan, amanah, tauhid, dan kepatuhan kepada syariat Islam secara menyeluruh. Pendekatan ini telah menghasilkan sebuah pemerintahan yang aman, adil, harmoni, dan bebas daripada kezaliman. Kajian ini menggunakan reka bentuk metod naratif dengan data sekunder yang dikumpulkan melalui kajian dokumen dan dianalisis secara kualitatif menggunakan analisis kandungan. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa kerangka pengurusan sosial dan rohani dalam kepimpinan Umar al-Khattab RA terdiri daripada lima prinsip utama, empat ciri kepimpinan, dan dua kaedah pelaksanaan yang saling melengkapi. Kerangka ini dapat dijadikan panduan penting dalam pembinaan konsep pemerintahan Islam masa kini bagi menggantikan sistem ideologi Barat yang kurang berteraskan nilai rohani. Dengan mencontohi kerangka kepimpinan ini, diharapkan pemimpin Islam masa kini dapat mencapai kejayaan dan kesejahteraan masyarakat seperti yang telah dicapai pada zaman pemerintahan. This study examines the concept of Islamic governance based on social and spiritual management in the leadership of Umar al-Khattab RA as a framework for building contemporary Islamic governance. While numerous studies on Islamic leadership have been conducted, specific research focusing on governance concepts that emphasize social and spiritual values has received comparatively less attention. History proves that the leadership of Umar al-Khattab RA successfully integrated the principles of love for the Prophet Muhammad SAW, justice, trustworthiness, monotheism, and comprehensive adherence to Islamic law. This approach resulted in a government that was peaceful, just, harmonious, and free from oppression. The study adopts a narrative method design, utilizing secondary data collected through document analysis, and qualitatively examined using content analysis. The findings reveal that the framework of social and spiritual management in the leadership of Umar al-Khattab RA comprises five core principles, four leadership traits, and two complementary implementation methods. This framework can serve as an important guideline in shaping a contemporary concept of Islamic governance to replace Western ideological systems that are less grounded in spiritual values. By emulating this leadership framework, it is hoped that present-day Muslim leaders can achieve societal success and well-being similar to that attained during his reign.
Tasawur pembangunan Malaysia Madani (T-PMM) berdasarkan pandangan para pemegang taruh
Setiap pemimpin yang menerajui tampuk kepimpinan sesebuah negara pasti mempunyai idealisme dan gagasan pembangunan yang tersendiri. Penerimaan rakyat terhadap naratif sesuatu gagasan mencerminkan kewibawaan dan legitimasi karismatik seorang pemimpin serta menjadi pemangkin kepada kemakmuran negara. Bagi membangunkan sebuah negara yang mampan, dinamik dan inklusif, Malaysia di bawah pentadbiran Yang Amat Berhormat Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim telah menjadikan Malaysia Madani sebagai gagasan negara. Sebagai sebuah gagasan pembangunan negara yang baru, perkara utama yang perlu diperhatikan adalah pada aspek acuan atau tasawurnya. Persoalannya, apakah tasawur gagasan Malaysia Madani ini? Adakah tasawur Malaysia Madani bersumberkan tasawur Islam atau tasawur lazim? Bagi menjawab persoalan ini, kertas kerja ini bertujuan mengenal pasti dan menganalisis tasawur gagasan Malaysia Madani samada bersumberkan tasawur Islam ataupun tasawur lazim. Kajian kualitatif ini melibatkan temu bual tidak berstruktur terhadap pemegang taruh yang terlibat dalam merancang dan melaksana agenda pembangunan negara. Dapatan temu bual kemudiannya dianalisis secara tematik menggunakan perisian ATLAS.ti. Hasil kajian mendapati bahawa gagasan Malaysia Madani masih tidak mempunyai sebuah tasawur yang jelas. Selain itu, terdapat beberapa cabaran dalam menzahirkan tasawur madani yang sebenar. Oleh itu, kajian ini mencadangkan sebuah kerangka tasawur pembangunan Malaysia Madani (T-PPM) yang baharu. Every national leader who assumes the helm of a country's governance invariably possesses distinct ideals and developmental visions. The public’s acceptance of a leader’s narrative reflects the leader's authoritative standing and charismatic legitimacy, serving as a catalyst for national prosperity. To establish a sustainable, dynamic, and inclusive nation, Malaysia under the administration of the Honourable Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim has adopted the Malaysia Madani framework as its national development paradigm. As a novel developmental concept, the primary focus must be on its foundational worldview or tasawur. This raises critical questions: what constitutes the tasawur of Malaysia Madani? Is it derived from an Islamic worldview or a more conventional, secular perspective? In addressing these inquiries, this paper aims to identify and analyze the tasawur underpinning Malaysia Madani, discerning whether it originates from Islamic principles or from a secular framework. This qualitative study utilizes unstructured interviews with key stakeholders engaged in the planning and implementation of the national development agenda. The interview data are thematically analyzed using ATLAS.ti software. The study finds that the Malaysia Madani initiative remains without a clearly articulated worldview (tasawur). Furthermore, significant challenges persist in defining an authentic and coherent Madani framework. Consequently, the aspirations promoted under the Malaysia Madani agenda risk being neither embraced nor actualized by society at large. To address this gap, the study advances a newly proposed conceptual framework for Malaysia Madani development (T-PPM).
Imej institusi Tahfiz dalam kalangan masyarakat awam di Malaysia
Kesedaran umat Islam di Malaysia terhadap pendidikan dan hafalan al-Quran semakin meningkat terutamanya dalam kalangan ibu bapa. Natijahnya, pembukaan sekolah-sekolah yang mengajarkan pendidikan dan penghafalan al-Quran semakin meningkat kini terutamanya institusi tahfiz. Institusi tahfiz merupakan pusat pendidikan yang melahirkan pelajar yang memelihara, menghafaz dan mengamalkan ayat-ayat suci al-Quran. Data pendaftaran pelajar ke pusat tahfiz terkini menunjukkan hampir 300,000 hingga 400,000 lebih pelajar. Institusi tahfiz menjadi pilihan ibu bapa untuk mendidik anak-anak mereka dengan akidah dan amalan yang betul, sekali gus menjadi harapan masyarakat untuk menjamin penerusan generasi yang berpegang teguh pada asas-asas Islam. Berdasarkan maklumat ini, diandaikan bahawa imej institusi tahfiz adalah baik dalam kalangan ibu bapa. Walau bagaimanapun, apakah imej sebenar institusi tahfiz? Setakat ini, belum ada kajian yang mengkaji imej institusi tahfiz daripada khalayak awam. Jadi, artikel ini bertujuan untuk meninjau imej institusi tahfiz dalam kalangan masyarakat awam. Kajian rintis ini akan dijalankan melalui soal selidik dalam talian berbentuk “unrestricted self-selected” kepada 354 responden dalam kalangan masyarakat Malaysia dan dianalisis menggunakan teknik analisis deskriptif. Hasil soal selidik mendapati masyarakat Malaysia memandang pengajar, kakitangan serta pelajar lepasan institusi tahfiz mempunyai imej yang baik, manakala imej dari sudut pengurusan institusi tahfiz adalah sederhana. Keseluruhan imej yang digambarkan oleh masyarakat Malaysia terhadap institusi-institusi tahfiz yang ada adalah pada tahap sederhana. Dapatan kajian ini memberikan gambaran awal yang signifikan tentang persepsi masyarakat awam terhadap institusi tahfiz, sekali gus membuka ruang penambahbaikan strategi komunikasi, pengurusan institusi dan dasar pendidikan Islam yang lebih inklusif dan berkesan. Awareness among Malaysian Muslims regarding Quranic education and memorisation is steadily increasing, particularly among parents. Consequently, the number of schools offering Quran-focused education has risen, with tahfiz institutions seeing the most significant growth. These institutions serve as educational centres that produce students who not only memorise but also embody the teachings of the Quran. Student enrollment data indicates that more than 300,000 to 400,000 individuals have currently registered with tahfiz centres. For many parents, tahfiz institutions are a preferred choice to instil correct Islamic beliefs and practices in their children, thereby becoming a cornerstone of societal hope in nurturing future generations committed to Islamic foundations. Given this context, it is assumed that tahfiz institutions are perceived positively among parents. However, what is the actual public image of these institutions? To date, no study has systematically examined the image of tahfiz institutions from the perspective of the public. Therefore, this article aims to explore public perceptions of tahfiz institutions in Malaysia. A pilot study employing an ‘unrestricted self-selected’ online survey method was conducted among 354 respondents from diverse Malaysian communities, and the data were analysed using descriptive statistical techniques. The findings reveal that respondents have a positive perception of the educators, staff, and graduates of tahfiz institutions. However, the image of tahfiz institutions’ management is viewed as moderate. Overall, the public image of existing tahfiz institutions in Malaysia is perceived to be moderate. The findings of this study offer a preliminary insight into public perceptions of tahfiz institutions, thereby paving the way for improvements in the development of more inclusive and effective Islamic education policies.
Sustainable community well-being through planning and design interventions based on the Book of Hikam
Community well-being frameworks often emphasize measurable dimensions such as economic growth, healthcare, and social services, yet they frequently overlook the spiritual and psychological aspects that are essential in many cultural and religious contexts. This gap limits the effectiveness of current interventions, particularly in Muslim-majority societies where spirituality plays a central role in shaping values and resilience. This study explores the Book of Hikam by Ibn Ata'illah al-Iskandari as a foundation for interventions promoting sustainable community well-being. Using a qualitative scoping review and thematic analysis, it identifies 21 well-being concepts to guide holistic community programs. Data from classical texts and scholarly works were validated by five experts. The analysis highlights four interlinked well-being dimensions: physical, social, mental, and spiritual, forming a framework that balances external conditions with internal virtues. Insights emphasize self-awareness, empathy, social harmony, mental resilience, and spiritual fulfilment, showing how Hikam-based principles can enrich well-being initiatives. The study calls for integrating these culturally grounded approaches and recommends further empirical research across diverse contexts.
Kitab-Kitab Syarah Sunan Al-Nasa'i: Satu Tinjauan Metodologi Berdasarkan Teori Ilmu Syarh Al-Hadith
Sunan al-Nasā’ī merupakan salah satu karya utama dalam Kutub al-Sittah yang mendapat perhatian meluas dalam kalangan ulama hadith, termasuk melalui penghasilan pelbagai karya syarah. Namun, kajian terhadap metodologi yang digunakan dalam kitab-kitab syarah Sunan al-Nasā’ī masih kurang diberikan perhatian secara khusus dalam disiplin ilmu syarḥ al-ḥadīth. Justeru itu, kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengisi kekosongan tersebut dengan meneliti pendekatan metodologi yang digunakan oleh tiga buah kitab syarah terpilih terhadap Sunan al-Nasā’ī, iaitu Dakhīrah al-‘Uqbā, Hāsyiah al-Sindī dan Hāsyiah al-Suyūṭī. Penyelidikan ini menumpukan kepada mengenal pasti persamaan dan perbezaan dalam kaedah pensyarahan mereka serta bagaimana metodologi tersebut mempengaruhi pemahaman dan penghuraian hadith berdasarkan prinsip-prinsip ilmu syarḥ al-ḥadīth. Pendekatan kualitatif digunakan dalam kajian ini, dengan kaedah analisis dokumen sebagai teknik pengumpulan data utama serta analisis kandungan sebagai teknik analisis data. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa terdapat kepelbagaian pendekatan dalam ketiga-tiga kitab syarah yang dikaji, mencerminkan kerencaman perspektif ilmiah dalam tafsiran hadith. Kajian ini menyumbang kepada perluasan wacana ilmu syarh al-hadīth dengan menekankan kepentingan memahami pendekatan metodologi secara kritis. Oleh itu, dicadangkan agar kajian lanjutan dilakukan terhadap kitab-kitab syarah hadith yang lain bagi memperkukuh kefahaman terhadap tradisi pensyarahan hadith dalam khazanah keilmuan Islam. Sunan al-Nasā’ī is one of the primary works within the Kutub al-Sittah and has received significant scholarly attention, particularly through various commentaries. However, the methodological approaches employed in the commentaries on Sunan al-Nasā’ī have not been extensively examined within the discipline of syarḥ al-ḥadīth. This study seeks to address this gap by exploring the methodological approaches used in three selected commentaries on Sunan al-Nasā’ī: Dakhīrah al-‘Uqbā, Hāsyiah al-Sindī, and Hāshiyah al-Suyūṭī. The research focuses on identifying the similarities and differences in their interpretive methods, and how these methodologies influence the understanding and elaboration of hadith based on the principles of syarḥ al-ḥadīth. This study adopts a qualitative approach, employing document analysis as the main data collection method, and content analysis as the method of data analysis. The findings reveal a range of methodological diversity among the three commentaries, reflecting a variety of scholarly perspectives in hadith interpretation. This study contributes to the broader discourse of hadith methodology by emphasizing the importance of critically understanding different methodological approaches. It is recommended that future research explore the methodologies of other hadith commentaries to further enrich the understanding of hadith commentary traditions in Islamic scholarship.
Jurisprudential Analysis of Lotus Silk's Permissibility for Muslim Men: A Preliminary Study
The emergence of lotus silk as an innovative sustainable textile has created significant jurisprudential considerations for Muslim men, particularly given the established Islamic prohibition of traditional silk. While classical Islamic jurisprudence demonstrates unanimous consensus (ijma') across all four madhahib prohibiting pure silk for men based on underlying principles ('illah) of avoiding luxury (tanaa'um), arrogance (khuyala'), and feminine characteristics, lotus silk presents novel challenges that existing frameworks have not comprehensively addressed. The research problem centers on the jurisprudential vacuum surrounding lotus silk evaluation, where contemporary fatawa demonstrate methodological inconsistency—some emphasizing material composition while others prioritizing final characteristics—resulting in unclear guidelines for scholars and consumers. This study employs qualitative library research methodology, utilizing content analysis of scientific literature and Islamic legal sources. The scientific review examines recent studies (2015-2024) on lotus silk's material properties, production methods, and commercial applications. The Islamic legal analysis focuses on classical jurisprudential foundations alongside contemporary fatawa from Malaysian religious authorities, particularly the 2024 fatwa from Jabatan Mufti Negeri Selangor addressing lotus silk. The findings reveal that classical jurisprudence provides robust precedent for characteristic-focused evaluation through extensive treatment of mixed silk fabrics (al-khazz), where scholars evaluated materials based on final characteristics rather than purely compositional factors. While lotus silk's plant-based origin avoids animal harm, its silk-like properties raise concerns about masculine norms and gender differentiation. Contemporary scholarly opinions trend toward discouraging lotus silk for men based on precautionary principles. The study concludes that developing clearer evaluation guidelines integrating both material composition and characteristic considerations is crucial for providing religious guidance on emerging textile innovations.
Important References for Shariah-Compliant Hotels: Global and Local Perspectives
Shariah-compliant hotels have emerged as a critical dimension of the Islamic hospitality industry, offering services that align with the religious, ethical, and lifestyle needs of Muslim travelers worldwide. This study investigates the foundational references, regulatory frameworks, and implementation models of Shariah-compliant hotels through a comparative analysis of global and local perspectives. Adopting a qualitative approach based on library research methodology, the study reviews and synthesizes documents, guidelines, and certification standards from international platforms such as CrescentRating and Salam Standard, alongside national frameworks established by Malaysia’s Department of Islamic Development (JAKIM). The analysis reveals that while global standards provide accessibility and market visibility, local standards offer theological legitimacy and contextual relevance. However, discrepancies in scope, terminology, and implementation highlight the need for greater alignment. The findings underscore the importance of harmonizing global and local standards to ensure operational consistency, religious integrity, and industry scalability. The article concludes by proposing strategic recommendations for policy integration, stakeholder collaboration, and the development of a unified framework to advance the global network of Shariah-compliant hotels.
Batu Tarsilah Sebagai Alat Kebesaran dan Kedaulatan: Salasilah Raja Brunei Dinilai dari Segi Ilmu Nasab Islam [Batu Tarsilah Being Regalia And Symbol Of Sovereign: The Pedigree Of Brunei Sultanate Viewed From Islamic Lineage Perspective]
Batu Tarsilah merupakan salah satu daripada tiga sumber utama salasilah raja Brunei. Ia adalah batu bersurat dengan catatan tarikh 1221H/1807M sementara dua sumber yang lain ialah riwayat lisan dan dokumen sejarah, termasuk manuskrip Melayu. Tetapi sebagai sumber yang langka, Batu Tarsilah tidak semestinya memberi info yang lengkap. Oleh sebab itu, ia memerlukan unsur lain yang memperkukuh dan memperjelas maklumat sedia ada. Melalui artikel ini, kajian berusaha mentafsir Batu Tarsilah berdasarkan ilmu nasab Islam, khususnya istifadah (Ø§Ø³Ù’ØªÙÙÙŽØ§Ø¶ÙŽØ©), bagi mengabsahkan kedaulatan raja Brunei. Hasil analisis komparatif dan kritikan konteks, Batu Tarsilah dianggap sumber terpercaya dalam menentukan status ahl al-bayt raja-raja Melayu. Penghasilannya didahului oleh sumber lisan sebelum ditulis di atas kertas, kemudian diukir pada batu untuk mewakili pandangan rasmi pemerintah Brunei. Batu Tarsilah juga mengabsahkan hubungan kekerabatan raja Brunei dengan ahl al-bayt Rasulullah s.a.w., begitu juga bangsa Quraysh umumnya sekaligus memperakui kedaulatan mereka sebagai pemimpin umat berdasarkan ijma’ para fuqaha. Berdasarkan dapatan ini, maka wajarlah Batu Tarsilah diangkat sebagai simbol kebesaran kerajaan Brunei. Batu Tarsilah is one of the three main sources of the genealogy of the sultan of Brunei. It is an inscribed stone with notes dated back in 1221H/1807M while the other two sources are oral histories and historical documents including Malay manuscripts. However as a rare source, Batu Tarsilah does not necessarily give complete and comprehensive information. Due to that, it needs other elements to strengthen and clarify the information provided. Through this article, the research will try to interpret Batu Tarsilah based on Islamic genealogy, specifically Istifadah (Ø§Ø³Ù’ØªÙÙÙŽØ§Ø¶ÙŽØ©), to reassert the sovereignty of the sultan of Brunei. The outcome of this comparative analysis and context criticism, Batu Tarsilah is considered the most reliable source to determine the status of the ahl al-bayt of Malay sultans. The process is preceded with oral sources first, before it is written on paper followed by carving it on the stone to represent the official view of the government of Brunei. In addition, Batu Tarsilah also reasserts the kinship between the king of Brunei and ahl al-bayt of Rasulullah s.a.w. as well as the Quraysh at the same time certifying their sovereignty as leaders of the people based on the consensus of fuqaha’. Based on these findings, it is right that Batu Tarsilah is taken as a symbol of the greatness of the kingdom of Brunei.

Kalimah “Allahâ€ dan “Muhammadâ€ pada logo PDRM merupakan bukti bahawa PDRM sentiasa menjunjung tinggi kesucian Islam dan keagungan Allah SWT dengan mengikuti petunjuk yang disampaikan oleh baginda nabi Muhammad SAW. Namun begitu, PDRM sering berhadapan dengan persepsi negatif dalam kalangan masyarakat awam terhadap ketelusan PDRM sehingga menjadi punca penubuhan Jabatan Integriti dan Pematuhan Standard (JIPS) PDRM pada tanggal 25 Julai 2014. Sehubungan itu, pemerkasaan kualiti integriti dalam kalangan warga kerja PDRM perlu dipertingkatkan melalui kefahaman ilmu asas Fardu ain dalam diri setiap individu muslim. Oleh itu, Makalah ini bertujuan untuk menilai Tahap Pelaksanaan dan Kefahaman ilmu Fardu ain dalam kalangan warga kerja PDRM di Pusat Latihan Polis Kuala Lumpur. Dapatan kajian diperolehi hasil soal selidik para responden seramai 250 orang yang terdiri daripada Pegawai Kanan, Pegawai Rendah, dan Pegawai Awam polis yang berkhidmat di Pusat Latihan Polis Kuala Lumpur. Hasil kajian mendapati tahap pelaksanaan dan kefahaman ilmu Fardu ain warga kerja PDRM di PULAPOL KL sangat tinggi. The Royal Malaysian Police Force (PDRM) is the premier security agency responsible for ensuring the safety of the public and the sovereignty of Malaysia. The words "Allah" and "Muhammad" on the PDRM logo are proof that the PDRM always upholds the purity of Islam and the majesty of Allah SWT by following the instructions given by the prophet Muhammad SAW. Nevertheless, the PDRM is often faced with a negative perception among the public towards the transparency of the PDRM, which is the reason for the establishment of the PDRM Integrity and Standard Compliance Department (JIPS) on July 25, 2014. Accordingly, the empowerment of the quality of integrity among PDRM employees needs to be improved through understanding the basic knowledge of Fardu Ain in every individual Muslim. Therefore, this paper aims to evaluate the level of implementation and understanding of Fardu ain knowledge among PDRM workers at the Kuala Lumpur Police Training Center. The findings of the study were obtained from a questionnaire of 250 respondents consisting of Senior Officers, Junior Officers, and Civilian Police Officers who serve at the Kuala Lumpur Police Training Center. The results of the study found that the level of implementation and understanding of Fardu ain knowledge among PDRM workers in PULAPOL KL is very high.
What motivates Muslims women to induce lactation?: An exploratory qualitative analysis
Induction of lactation occurs when breast milk is produced in a human (female), without going through the process of pregnancy and delivery. Induced lactation is a method of strengthening the bond between the adopted child and the adoptive mother. The primary goal is to encourage bonding solely to develop an emotional connection and as a motivation for the mother to breastfeed her adopted child. This exploratory qualitative study examined the factors influencing women's decisions about induced lactation in Malaysia. Methods: This study used in-depth interviews with women who had induced lactation in five states based on five regions in Malaysia [Central Region (Selangor), Northern Region (Penang), Southern Region (Johor), East Coast Region (Kelantan), Malaysia Borneo (Sabah)]. The qualitative approach helped to establish a comprehensive insight into the women’s experiences throughout the journey of induced lactation. All interviews were consented, audio-recorded, and transcribed verbatim, followed by identification of emerging themes. Results: After interviewing 23 induced lactation women, data saturation was achieved. Data synthesized using thematic analysis revealed three themes describing the main factors in determining women's decisions on induced lactation: (1) mahram relationship, (2), and (3) the perceived superiority of breastfeeding. This indicates that the mahram relationship, experiencing motherhood, and the perceived superiority of breastmilk motivated women to undergo induced lactation. Conclusions: Induced lactation is analogous to ordinary life, where favorable attitudes are followed by a strong drive to achieve. We hope that by identifying the various factors that motivate women to induce lactation, health care professionals and the community will be empowered to support breastfeeding in terms of facilitating motherhood, providing breastfeeding aid equipment, and assisting with daily necessities.
