(FAKTOR SAMBUTAN MASYARAKAT ISLAM TERHADAP KELAS TAKMIR AKIDAH DI MASJID NEGERI KELANTAN)
Abstract
Takmir classes are conducted in every registered mosques as an initiative to develop religious knowledge comprising aqeedah, ibadah and akhlaq studies. However, a7ccording to MAIK’s oral reports, aqeedah studies in takmir classes in Kelantan are not widely re7ceived by the Muslim community. Hence this study aims to look at the response of the Mu7slim community towards aqeedah takmir classes in Kelantan mosques. This study also aims to e7xamine the implementation of the classes, analyse the response factors, and identify the problems that has led to its low response. This is an observation study where a survey was conducted on 375 respondents comprising masjid-goers. They were selected via stratified random sampling. This study also took a qualitative approach in addressing objectives number 1 and number 3. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews. The respondents consisted of 5 takmir teachers, 5 takmir coordinators, and a takmir officer. The data obtained through the questionnaire were then analysed using the descriptive analysis approach in the forms of mean, frequency and percentage. A pilot study was first conducted on 30 respondents. For the Muslim community’s response factor, it had a high Cronbach’s Alpha value (.810). The findings show an encouraging response of the Muslim community by gender, whereby 82.9% from the age group of 51 years and above are male, is at 38.7%. The high mean value of the Muslim community's response towards the aqeedah takmir classes are the venue’s conduciveness, (.637), the mosque’s well-maintained facilities (.637), the individuals’ own awareness to learn aqeedah (.724), sound health which allows them to attend takmir classes (.677), and educated teachers that contribute to the encouraging attendance (.702). The findings also show low mean values that need to be improved such as teachers who do not use teaching aids such as laptops, whiteboards or LCDs. Findings from the interview, on the other hand, show that the takmir classes are conducted according to the timetable set by MAIK, and that the low response to the classes needs addressing such as improving the teaching and learning methods that would encourage better response from the community towards the classes. The response by the Muslim community towards the aqeedah takmir classes are not highly satisfactory. However, the response of the Muslim community to the aqeedah takmir classes has enhanced with improvements towards the public‘s response.

Kelas takmir ialah satu pengajian yang telah dijalankan di setiap masjid yang berdaftar sebagai inisiatif untuk mengembangkan ilmu agama yang terdiri daripada akidah, ibadah dan akhlak. Bagaimanapun, laporan lisan MAIK menunjukkan pengajian akidah dalam kelas takmir di Negeri Kelantan kurang memberangsangkan. Justeru kajian ini bertujuan untuk meninjau faktor sambutan masyarakat Islam terhadap kelas takmir akidah di masjid Negeri Kelantan. Kajian ini juga bertujuan untuk meneliti pelaksanaan kelas tersebut, menganalisis faktor sambutan masyarakat dan mengenalpasti masalah-masalah sambutan. Kajian ini adalah kajian tinjauan yang menggunakan soal selidik seramai 375 orang responden daripada jemaah masjid yang dipilih melalui persampelan rawak berstrata sebagai instrumen kajian. Di samping itu, kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif bagi menjawab objektif kajian satu dan tiga. Tatacara pengumpulan data adalah melalui temu bual separa struktur. Responden temu bual terdiri daripada 5 orang guru takmir dan 5 orang penyelaras takmir serta seorang pegawai takmir.
