“No Pork, No Lard” or “Muslim-Friendly”: Understanding Consumer Perceptions and Preferences.

Zainon Binti Haji Bibi — 2025-09-05

The growth of food and beverage outlets such as restaurants and fast-food chains is growing progressively. Promotion and marketing for the food outlets with the help of influencers are carried out to gain widespread popularity on social media, also known as viral food trends. Generation Z, aged 13 to 29, is the perfect demographic group because this generation is effectively engaged with the digital trend. However, what is worrying is the use of "No Pork, No Lard" or "Muslim-Friendly” labels that can be confusing for Muslims. This study explores the perspectives and preferences of Generation Z related to the concept of halal food and beverages. The scope of the study includes religious belief, exposure, certification logo, and health toward this demographic. It is hoped that this study can increase the positive attitude of Muslim consumers, relevant bodies, and media to increase the promotion and publicity of halal certification issued by JAKIM to increase awareness among young Muslim consumers in Malaysia.

Examining the Key Features of Islamic Website from the Perspectives of Islamic Education Academics

Aiza Binti Johari — 2025-09-06

The technology enabling access to Islamic websites appears to be seamless, with the availability of various networks enhancing global accessibility for most Muslim users. Muslim intellectuals, educators, and Islamic organisations also leverage the Internet to share Islamic teachings and promote the faith to both Muslims and non-Muslims. Consequently, the widespread availability of online Islamic content underscores the importance of studying the characteristics of Islamic websites and the factors that influence Muslim users to engage with them, ensuring that these features are of high quality and the content is accurate. This study explores the preferred features of Islamic websites among Islamic Education Academics at a local university in Sarawak. The Islamic factors examined in the study were adapted and were categorised into four main features: ethics, services, symbols, and website usage. A survey was conducted with 15 lecturers from a faculty that caters to Islamic studies and they are also frequent users of Islamic websites. The findings revealed that specific Islamic features significantly influenced the respondents’ use of Islamic websites. Most notably, the respondents indicated they frequently used these websites for self-motivation and research purposes, and they preferred websites that were regularly updated, especially those certified by trusted Islamic organisations. The results provide valuable insights for improving the design and development of Islamic websites, with the potential to encourage greater user engagement and provide valuable knowledge about authentic Islamic teachings and practices, in which would be beneficial in their teachings.

Halal Trails

Aiza Binti Johari — 2025-09-06

Sarawak is emerging as a promising Muslim-friendly destination, with its tourism industry actively engaging to attract more Muslim tourists to the region. Islamic tourism as affirmed by Zamani-Farahani and Eid (2021) has the potential to contribute to a more sustainable development by promoting ethical and responsible travel practices that align with Islamic teachings, such as respect for the environment and support for local communities. Today, an increasing number of countries are aware of the economic benefits of catering to Muslim travellers by providing halal-certified amenities and services. Thus, to explore these benefits with regards to Sarawak’s domain, a qualitative approach was employed and it involved interviews with the key industry players, such as Muslim-friendly tour guides, mosque visit guides, and providers of Muslim-friendly hotels in Sarawak. These participants were specifically chosen for their involvement in the Islamic tourism sector. To gain a broader understanding, additional data were also collected from international Muslim tourists visiting Sarawak. Furthermore, the researchers also conducted on-site observations by visiting various tourist attractions in Sarawak, allowing them to directly assess the implementation of Islamic tourism in the region. The findings allow the stakeholders to be committed to be consistently and continuously working with the industry players in Islamic Tourism Industry. The goal is to build their capacity in Islamic tourism, thus ensuring that the needs of Muslim visitors are better served by taking more initiatives in standardizing Sarawak tourism’s industry with Malaysia’s Islamic Tourism Industry best practices, hoping to establish Sarawak’s credibility as an Islamic tourism destination.

Pengaruh Imam Al-Sanusi Dalam Penulisan Ilmu Akidah Di Sarawak: Analisis Terhadap Risalah Hidayah Lil Walad al-Walad

Muhammad Khatib Johari — 2025-09-06

Islam di Sarawak telah mula mengukuhkan pengaruhnya sejak kurun ke-15M, dipengaruhi oleh jaringan intelektual para ulama dan pemerintahan Kesultanan Brunei serta budaya Melayu-Islam di rantau Kalimantan. Dalam proses Islamisasi tersebut, manuskrip Islam turut memainkan peranan yang penting dalam memperkayakan nilai-nilai Islam dan telah menunjukkan keupayaan untuk membentuk identiti keagamaan dalam kalangan umat Islam di Sarawak. Salah satu contoh penulisan yang signifikan untuk dikaji adalah Risalah Hidayah Lil Walad al-Walad (RHWW) iaitu sebuah penulisan berbahasa Melayu dalam huruf Jawi yang dikarang oleh seorang ulama tempatan Sarawak pada tahun 1924M. Kertas kerja penyelidikan ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis secara mendalam terhadap isi kandungan RHWW serta menilai pengaruh Imam Al-Sanusi dalam karya tersebut. Melalui metodologi analisis teks dan kajian kepustakaan, dapatan awal telah menunjukkan bahawa pengarang RHWW melalui karyanya sendiri telah membincangkan tema ilmu akidah berdasarkan kepada matan teks Umm Al-Barahin karya Imam Al-Sanusi iaitu seorang ulama Ahli Sunnah Wal Jamaah pada abad ke-17M. Penelitian ini berdasarkan kepada persamaan teks Arab yang telah dinukilkan dan dalil-dalil yang digunakan oleh pengarang dalam mensyarahkan RHWW. Kajian ini diharap dapat membuka wacana baru mengenai peranan manuskrip Islam dalam memperkukuh kefahaman agama di Sarawak serta dijadikan sebagai sebuah rujukan praktikal bagi menghadapi cabaran pemikiran semasa. Selain itu, kajian ini turut menyumbang kepada usaha untuk membangunkan masyarakat yang berfikiran kritis dan harmoni serta selari dengan matlamat konferens untuk mempromosikan dialog antara peradaban dan kestabilan sosial.

LGBTQ+: Rintangan dalam Usaha Mewujudkan Keamanan, Keadilan Iklim dan Dialog Tamadun Dalam Perspektif Islam di Malaysia

Muhammad Faris Matjani — 2025-09-06

ABSTRAK

Mutakhir ini Malaysia berdepan dengan cabaran LGBTQ+ yang di haramkan dalam undang-undang sivil dan syariah di negara tersebut. Hal ini membawa halangan untuk mencapai keamanan sosial dalam masyarakat kerana seringkali menimbulkan perpecahan dan ketegangan. Selain itu, tidak ada undang-undang yang melindungi kelompok ini daripada diskriminasi. Isu ini sering menimbulkan perdebatan sengit yang berpunca dari pihak yang cuba untuk menuntut hak kesamarataan kepada golongan LGBTQ+. Isu ini haruslah diteliti secara objektif tanpa menuding jari dengan mendalami impak isu LGBTQ+ terhadap keamanan global, termasuk bagaimana isu ini boleh mempengaruhi imej sesebuah negara dan kesan terhadap perhubungan antarabangsa. Kontroversi berkaitan isu LGBTQ+ di Malaysia terus menjadi perhatian utama, terutamanya selepas kenyataan Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri (Hal Ehwal Agama), Datuk Dr. Mohd Na’im Mokhtar, yang menggesa siasatan terhadap program promosi LGBTQ baru-baru ini. Insiden ini menyerlahkan ketegangan yang berterusan antara hak asasi manusia, nilai-nilai Islam sebagai agama Persekutuan, dan norma budaya Timur yang dipegang teguh oleh majoriti rakyat Malaysia. Penolakan keras terhadap usaha menormalisasikan "gaya hidup songsang" oleh Kerajaan Malaysia menunjukkan bahawa isu LGBTQ+ bukan sekadar perdebatan moral, tetapi juga melibatkan tafsiran perlembagaan, penguatkuasaan undang-undang, serta pemeliharaan struktur sosial dan moral negara. Cabaran utama yang akan timbul adalah dari perspektif agama Islam dan keadaan sosial semasa. Oleh hal yang demikian, perbincangan ini akan beralih kepada pendekatan dialog antara tamadun dari sudut pandang Islam berdasarkan prinsip hikmah dan nasihat yang baik.

Aligning the Sustainable Development Goals with Islamic Teachings: A Qur’anic Perspective

Yussri Bin Sawani — 2025-09-06

This paper explores the alignment between the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Islamic teachings, particularly through the lens of the Qur'an. The study highlights the convergence of universal values such as justice, equity, compassion, and stewardship that form the foundation of both the SDGs and Islamic ethics. Using a textual analysis of key Qur’anic verses and a review of contemporary scholarship, each of the 17 SDGs is examined for its compatibility with Islamic principles. The paper demonstrates how Islamic concepts such as zakat, waqf, khalifah (stewardship), and Maqasid al-Shariah (higher objectives of Islamic law) can serve as powerful tools to advance sustainable development within Muslim societies. In addition, the paper reviews practical case studies from countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, and the UAE, showcasing successful integration of Islamic finance and development policy. It concludes by recommending the Qur'an as a primary ethical and operational reference for Muslim communities pursuing the SDGs, bridging spiritual values with global development goals in a meaningful and context-sensitive manner.

Jati Kasuma Bin Ali — 2025-09-06

This qualitative study intend explores the entrepreneurial resilience of a unique and often overlooked of Mualaf single mothers. These women face compounded challenges stemming from single parenthood, economic vulnerability, and the spiritual and social transition associated with religious conversion. Despite these adversities, many have succeeded in starting and sustaining small businesses, demonstrating remarkable resilience and adaptability. The research aims to understand the factors that contribute to their entrepreneurial success, focusing on both internal and external dimensions. Using a phenomenological approach, the study collects data through semi-structured interviews with selected single mother mualaf entrepreneurs under project of Rakyatprenuer. Participants are identified through purposive sampling to ensure rich, experience-based insights. The collected narratives are analyzed thematically to identify key patterns, challenges, and coping mechanisms. Preliminary themes include the role of faith and spiritual motivation, personal determination, support from the Muslim community, and the ability to turn past adversity into entrepreneurial strength. These women often demonstrate a strong sense of purpose rooted in both parental responsibility and religious conviction, using their businesses as vehicles for financial independence and personal transformation. This research hope contributes to a deeper understanding of how faith, identity, and motherhood intersect in the context of entrepreneurship. It fills a gap in the literature by highlighting the experiences of women at the intersection of gender, religion, and socioeconomic struggle. The findings aim to inform policymakers, NGOs, and community organizations working on inclusive entrepreneurship, faith-based support systems, and women's empowerment. By amplifying the voices of resilient single mother mualaf entrepreneurs, the study offers valuable insights into building effective, culturally sensitive support strategies.

Statistical Evaluation of Rater Agreement on Waqf Takaful Research in Malaysia.

Mohd Asyraf bin Yusof — 2025-09-06

Many scholars and institutions in Malaysia are looking more closely at how waqf can be used in the Takaful sector. This is especially true when coming up with new ways to help groups that are struggling financially, like those who have been affected by natural disasters. The goal of this study is to find out what experts in the field think about the proposed Waqf-based Takaful model in Malaysia in terms of its usefulness, structure, and importance. The study used Cohen's Kappa, a statistical tool, to see how consistent expert evaluations were across the model's main thematic parts. We gave the assessors a systematic assessment tool to use and then looked at the results to see how reliable their evaluations were. The results show that there is a strong agreement among the evaluators, which suggests that most of them agree that Waqf Takaful is a good way to make sure that everyone is financially secure. This study shows how to use inter-rater reliability techniques in Islamic finance research. This proves the suggested model and adds to what we already know about methodology. People are currently talking about what this means for future academic research, business use, and policy making.

The data collection method used a questionnaire to a total of 200 respondents conducted by snowball sampling. Descriptive analysis was conducted to identify the factors in the selection of halal cosmetic products among youth in Malaysia. The health hazard impact was highlighted to create the significant relationship between the cosmetics product selection. The findings show that the implications of cosmetic products to youth health are tremendous. As conclusion, the enforcement of halal certification in cosmetic and personal care products needs to be stringent to address the problem.

Serangan Balas Iran-Israel 2025: Kesan Terhadap Keamanan Serantau Dunia

Nur Adilah Amiruddin — 2025-09-06

Pada 14 Jun 2025 dunia telah dikejutkan dengan serangan Iran terhadap Israel. Konflik bersenjata ini telah mencetuskan kebimbangan besar terhadap kestabilan serantau dan keamanan global. Kajian ini dijalankan bertujuan untuk menganalisis punca-punca serangan balas tersebut, termasuk faktor geopolitik, ideologi, dan campur tangan kuasa besar. Serangan berbalas antara kedua-dua negara bukan sahaja meningkatkan ketegangan di Timur Tengah, malah memberi kesan domino kepada negara-negara jiran, pasaran tenaga global, serta hubungan kuasa-kuasa dunia seperti Amerika Syarikat, Rusia dan China. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan kaedah analisis kandungan iaitu merujuk kepada laporan media, kenyataan rasmi kerajaan dan analisis pakar dalam bidang. Hasil kajian mendapati campur tangan kuasa besar dunia meningkatkan risiko perang proksi contohnya seperti Amerika Syarikat secara terang-terangan menyatakan sokongan terhadap Israel, manakala Rusia dan Pakistan pula ada mengenluarkan kenyataan menyokong dan sedia membantu Iran. Oleh itu, kajian ini mencadangkan beberapa pendekatan diplomatik dan mekanisme campur tangan antarabangsa bagi meredakan konflik bagi memulihkan keamanan sejagat. Jika tidak, tanpa penyelesaian tuntas dan kerjasama global yang efektif, konflik Iran-Israel berisiko menjadi pencetus ketidakstabilan jangka panjang di peringkat serantau dan antarabangsa.

Prospek Penggunaan Kecerdasan Buatan (Artificial Intelligence) dalam Melestari Pendidikan Mualaf di Malaysia

Mohd Zuhaili Kamal Basir — 2025-09-06

Kajian ini meneroka potensi penggunaan Kecerdasan Buatan (AI) dalam memperkasa proses pembelajaran mualaf khususnya dalam konteks pendidikan Islam. Peralihan seseorang kepada agama Islam bukan sahaja melibatkan aspek keimanan, tetapi juga keperluan kepada kefahaman yang mendalam terhadap ajaran agama, budaya baharu dan sistem nilai masyarakat Muslim. Namun, kekangan dari segi sumber manusia, bahan pembelajaran serta lokasi geografi sering menjadi cabaran utama dalam menyampaikan ilmu kepada mualaf secara berkesan. Sehubungan itu, teknologi AI berupaya menjadi pemangkin kepada pendekatan pembelajaran bersifat peribadi, adaptif dan interaktif. . Kajian ini menggunakan kajian kualitatif menerusi kaedah analisis dokumen meliputi jurnal, prosiding, tesis dan bahan-bahan rujukan skunder lain yang dapat memberi input mengenai Kecerdasan Buatan (AI) dan pendekatan pembelajaran mualaf. Hasil kajian mendapati aplikasi berasaskan AI seperti tutor maya, chatbot dakwah dan pembelajaran bahasa al-Quran menggunakan pemprosesan bahasa semula jadi (NLP) dapat membantu mualaf meningkatkan kefahaman mereka terhadap Islam. Malahan Integrasi AI dalam modul pembelajaran mualaf mampu meningkatkan kadar penglibatan, kefahaman dan motivasi pembelajaran mualaf. Kajian ini mencadangkan pembangunan ekosistem teknologi yang bersifat holistik, inklusif dan mesra pengguna untuk menyokong pembelajaran berterusan mualaf secara lestari.

Tahap Kefahaman Pelajar Uitm Terhadap Konsep Riba dan Untung dalam Muamalah Islam

Muhammad Nasran Narudin — 2025-09-06

Riba dan untung adalah dua konsep yang berbeza dan sering disalah faham oleh sebahagian masyarakat terutamanya dalam kalangan pelajar. Kajian ini dilakukan bertujuan untuk menjelaskan perbezaan asas antara riba yang diharamkan dalam Islam dan keuntungan perniagaan yang dibenarkan serta menilai tahap kefahaman pelajar terhadap kedua-dua konsep tersebut. Kajian ini dijalankan menggunakan kaedah soal selidik ke atas 50 orang pelajar universiti yang dipilih secara rawak. Data dikumpul dan dianalisis secara deskriptif bagi menilai peratusan dan kekerapan tahap kefahaman pelajar mengenai konsep riba’ dan untung. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa sebahagian besar pelajar memahami bahawa riba melibatkan lebihan yang dikenakan atas pinjaman wang, manakala untung pula melibatkan pertukaran barangan atau perkhidmatan secara sah. Namun, masih wujud kekeliruan kecil dalam membezakan situasi riba tersembunyi. Kajian ini mencadangkan agar pendedahan tentang muamalah Islam perlu dipertingkatkan agar pelajar lebih jelas dan mampu mengelak daripada terlibat dengan transaksi yang tidak patuh syariah, lantas memberi implikasi yg buruk kepada diri sendiri, keluarga dan negara.

Islamisation of the Middle Kingdom of Indera Ponik from the Reign of the First Raja Tengah to the Legendary Datuk Haji Ibrahim of Pulau Lakei

Margaret Kit Yok Chan — 2025-09-06

The Islamisation of Indera Ponik in the island of Borneo during the Majapahit Period has been linked to the first Raja Tengah in the 15^th century based on an oral history transcript. Indera Ponik, the Middle Kingdom between the Kingdom of Tanjung Pura and Kingdom of Barunah (Brunei) was changed to Indera Samudera Ponik after conversion to an Islamic kingdom. The genealogy of Pangiran Indrana Rajian, the last Indianized king taking the name of Tuanku Sri Maharajian, the first Raja of Tengah to his grandson, Datuk Haji Ibrahim, was curated. The fall of the kingdom after three Sultans was attributed to the socioeconomic political conflict between the Kingdom and the Kingdom of Barunah. Datuk Haji Ibrahim was not being able to be coronated as the fourth Sultan as he did not possess the regalia for the inauguration. He retreated to Pulau Lakei at Bako National Park, Sarawak leading a solitude ending of his life. His decree was his family should not reveal of their status and the oath or Napok taken by his political allies and the local community due to the threat from Barunah. The Napok, the concept of hiding of this genealogy has attributed to the loss of a chapter of history. Today, Datuk Haji Ibrahim is remembered as a legend with strong physique and strong religious devotion who has Islamic spiritual power. His Mausoleum lies in Pulau Lakei.

Negara Brunei Darussalam

ABSTRAK

Pembuktian sejarah terhadap ciri-ciri ketamadunan Islam di Alam Melayu bukan sahaja dilihat daripada aspek peninggalan arkeologi, warisan budaya dan kesenian, bahkan juga penghasilan daya sumber pemikiran intelektual bangsa Melayu yang dizahirkan melalui hasil karya tulisan tangan dalam bentuk tulisan jawi iaitu Manuskrip Melayu. Di Alam Melayu termasuk Kepulauan Borneo yang didiami oleh tiga negara iaitu Negara Brunei Darussalam; Sarawak dan Sabah, Malaysia; dan Kalimantan, Indonesia, masing-masing mempunyai manuskrip-manuskrip lama yang unik dan tersendiri yang melambangkan bangsa Melayu yang berkemahiran tinggi, berwibawa, dan kreatif pada ketika itu. Manuskrip yang dihasilkan itu mengandungi catatan sejarah yang direkodkan untuk kesinambungan bangsa dan tamadun negara masing-masing. Justeru, kajian ini akan memfokuskan terhadap manuskrip-manuskrip Borneo dalam pelbagai genre yang terdapat di Brunei khususnya yang ada dalam simpanan koleksi penBORNEO. Koleksi penBORNEO di Bahagian Pusat Pengkajian Borneo (penBORNEO), Pusat Sejarah Brunei merangkumi bahan-bahan sejarah seperti akhbar-akhbar lama, buku-buku nadir, buku-buku Borneo, dokumen-dokumen, bahan-bahan mikrofilem, peta-peta termasuklah koleksi bahan manuskrip yang disimpan untuk kepentingan rujukan dan pembelajaran. Objektif kajian ini ada dua iaitu pertama, mengetengahkan jenis-jenis manuskrip Borneo yang terdapat dalam koleksi penBORNEO. Objektif kedua ialah kepentingan manuskrip Borneo yang bukan sahaja mengandungi gambaran sejarah tetapi lebih penting ialah iktibar dan pengajaran daripada sejarah itu. Kajian manuskrip ini dilaksanakan dengan menggunakan kaedah kualitatif terhadap sebahagian bahan manuskrip Borneo sebagai sokongan kajian di samping merujuk sumber sekunder dalam menguatkan lagi fakta sejarah dalam manuskrip tersebut. Daripada hasil kajian manuskrip-manuskrip Borneo ini diharap dapat menjadikannya sebagai khazanah dan pusaka bangsa yang amat berharga sebagai dokumentasi dan rujukan akan datang, terutamanya bukan sahaja dalam kalangan para pengkaji sejarah tetapi pengkaji-pengkaji dari pelbagai bidang seperti bidang ilmu kebahasaan, filologi, dan kesusasteraan. Dapatan kajian ini turut memperlihatkan manuskrip itu bukan sahaja bertindak sebagai alat perhubungan tradisi masa lalu bahkan memberikan gambaran senario terhadap perkembangan politik, ekonomi, dan sosial yang berlaku di Kepulauan Borneo.

Impak Dakwah Tabligh dalam Mencegah Kambuh di Kalangan Bekas Penagih Dadah: Kajian Kes Bekas Penagih Dadah Tabligh di Daerah Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia

Haji Mohd Sapawi Jamain — 2025-09-06

Kajian ini meneroka peranan dakwah Tabligh dalam pemulihan dan pencegahan relapse dalam kalangan bekas penagih dadah di Kuching, Sarawak, dengan memberi tumpuan kepada transformasi spiritual, sosial, dan tingkah laku individu melalui penglibatan berterusan dalam aktiviti berasaskan keagamaan. Berdasarkan sampel seramai 116 bekas penagih, kajian ini menggabungkan data tinjauan kuantitatif dengan analisis statistik untuk menilai keberkesanan penglibatan dalam gerakan Tabligh sebagai satu model pemulihan holistik. Profil demografi menunjukkan majoriti responden adalah lelaki (93.1%), berumur antara 26–45 tahun (70.7%), dan berasal daripada golongan berpendapatan rendah (B40) (79.3%), dengan tahap pendidikan formal yang rendah (64.6% hanya memiliki SPM dan ke bawah). Penunjuk ini selari dengan corak ketagihan di peringkat nasional dan mencadangkan bahawa kerentanan sosioekonomi merupakan faktor penyumbang utama. Walaupun berdepan cabaran ini, lebih 63% peserta melaporkan bebas dadah selama lebih 13 bulan, dan 50% telah menyertai aktiviti Tabligh melebihi dua tahun, menunjukkan potensi perubahan jangka panjang melalui penglibatan spiritual. Dapatan utama menunjukkan bahawa khidmat komuniti, pengajaran spiritual, dan sokongan sosial memainkan peranan penting dalam pencegahan relapse. Analisis regresi mengesahkan bahawa khidmat komuniti (β = 0.576) dan sistem sokongan (β = 0.195) adalah peramal kuat terhadap pengurangan relapse, menekankan kepentingan tanggungjawab kolektif dan proses reintegrasi. Walaupun spiritualiti dan bimbingan moral menunjukkan korelasi positif terhadap pemulihan, kesannya banyak dimediasi melalui penglibatan berkumpulan yang tersusun dan interaksi komuniti yang berfokus. Sebahagian besar responden menganggap ajaran Tabligh sangat berkesan, dengan 65.5% melaporkan peningkatan kesedaran spiritual dan perubahan tingkah laku yang ketara. Tambahan pula, 76.7% menyatakan hasrat kukuh untuk terus terlibat dalam aktiviti Tabligh, sekali gus menunjukkan kemampanan model ini. Persepsi masyarakat juga didapati menyokong, mewujudkan persekitaran sosial yang kondusif bagi pemulihan berasaskan agama. Kajian ini menekankan keperluan untuk memformalkan kerangka pemulihan berasaskan Tabligh, khususnya untuk populasi berpendapatan rendah yang terdedah kepada risiko. Ia mencadangkan usaha kolaboratif antara agensi kerajaan, NGO, dan institusi keagamaan untuk memperluas capaian, mengintegrasi sokongan vokasional, dan melaksanakan kajian longitudinal bagi menilai kesan jangka panjang. Dengan menggabungkan bimbingan spiritual dan reintegrasi sosial, gerakan Tabligh menawarkan satu alternatif pemulihan yang berakar budaya dan dipacu komuniti berbanding model pemulihan tradisional.

Youth-Led Social Movements and Religious Moderation in Indonesia: Catalysts for Change

Oki Anggara — 2025-09-06

This paper aims to reexamine the status and role of Indonesian youth as the nation's future generation, particularly in the context of religious moderation, with a focus on the best practices of youth-led religious social movements in Pontianak City, West Kalimantan. A qualitative descriptive methodology is employed, with primary data gathered through observations of youth participation in activities related to religious moderation. Secondary data was obtained through a literature review on youth engagement and religious moderation, providing a framework for both theoretical and practical analysis. The role of youth in religious moderation can be viewed as having a dual nature, akin to a double-edged sword, with both positive and negative potentials. On the one hand, youth are vulnerable to radicalization and extremism. On the other hand, through interventionist social movements that emphasize collaboration and tangible actions, youth can embody the ideals of religious moderation. Support from various societal elements is essential to enable youth to realize their potential, including opportunities for participation and critical academic engagement. For instance, advancing youth's role as central agents of human development in Indonesia's 2045 Vision and involving them in public policymaking across diverse fields of social life are crucial steps forward.

Dwi Surya Atmaja — 2025-09-06

Abstrak

Temajuk, sebuah desa yang terletak yang terletak di ujung Kalimantan, menghadapi tantangan dalam transisi dari "ekonomi perbatasan" menuju kualitas hidup yang lebih baik. Studi ini membahas tiga isu utama: loyalitas nasional dan kesulitan ekonomi, pengetatan peraturan lintas batas yang menyebabkan hilangnya kesempatan kerja, dan berkah alam desa tersebut. Meskipun banyak studi telah meneliti dampak ekonomi perbatasan, masih terdapat kurangnya pemahaman tentang bagaimana masyarakat perbatasan seperti Temajuk beradaptasi dengan perubahan peraturan dan peluang alam setempat. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan studi kasus kualitatif dan memanfaatkan metode interdisipliner dan multidisipliner untuk memperoleh pemahaman yang komprehensif. Temuan penelitian ini mengungkapkan bahwa mengintegrasikan sumber daya alam ke dalam ekonomi lokal dapat memberikan solusi berkelanjutan bagi masyarakat perbatasan. Studi ini memberikan wawasan tentang upaya penduduk Temajuk untuk meningkatkan kesejahteraan mereka dan menawarkan perspektif baru tentang transformasi ekonomi lokal. Kebaruan studi ini terletak pada fokusnya pada peran sumber daya alam sebagai solusi alternatif bagi kesejahteraan ekonomi desa perbatasan.

Personality Traits as Predictors of Behavioural Engagement with Mobile Operating Systems in Sarawak

Ahmad Faisal Bin Mahdi — 2025-09-06

This study investigates the predictive relationship between the Big Five personality characteristics (extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness) and behavioural engagement with mobile operating systems among Malaysian smartphone users. In Malaysia's fierce battle between Android and iOS ecosystems, comprehending the psychological factors influencing user engagement holds considerable academic and practical significance. The study used a quantitative survey of over 273 Sarawak smartphone users, which focused in Kuching, evaluating personality characteristics via the BFI-44 scale and examining three aspects of engagement: interface customisation behaviours, ecosystem loyalty, and switching intention. The study employs Smart PLS-SEM (Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling) to examine the impact of personality traits on engagement measures, while accounting for demographic data. We hypothesise that openness to experience would significantly predict customisation behaviours and switching intentions, but conscientiousness and agreeableness will exhibit a large correlation with ecosystem loyalty. Neuroticism is anticipated to diminish switching intention owing to risk aversion, whilst extraversion may augment ecosystem loyalty via social connectedness attributes. This study enhances the literature on technology adoption by merging personality psychology with behavioural engagement indicators related to mobile operating system ecosystems.

Meneroka Kesan Keciciran Pendidikan Terhadap Komuniti di Sarawak: Perspektif Ekologi dan Modal Sosial

Siti Huzaimah Sahari — 2025-09-06

Pendidikan dan persekolahan merupakan asas terpenting dalam membina masa depan individu dan kemajuan sesebuah masyarakat. Namun begitu, fenomena keciciran pendidikan terus berlaku, terutamanya dalam kalangan keluarga berpendapatan rendah dan persekitaran sosial yang mencabar. Kertas kerja konsep ini membincangkan hubungan antara keciciran pendidikan dengan kemiskinan, jenayah, dan pembangunan insan. Selain daripada itu, pegangan agama juga berperanan sebagai pemangkin dalam memperkukuh motivasi menuntut ilmu, membentuk sahsiah mulia, serta menghindarkan diri daripada gejala negatif. Kajian ini berdasarkan gabungan teori ekologi dan pendekatan nilai dalam pendidikan, serta mengetengahkan bahawa sistem persekolahan yang mantap dan berteraskan nilai agama mampu mengurangkan keciciran dan membina insan seimbang dari segi intelek, emosi, sosial dan spiritual. Kegagalan dalam memperoleh pendidikan formal bukan sahaja menjejaskan masa depan pelajar, malah boleh mendorong kepada penglibatan dalam jenayah dan pengabaian pembangunan potensi diri. Oleh itu, pendidikan yang disepadukan dengan nilai agama dan sokongan komuniti perlu dijadikan strategi utama dalam dasar dan intervensi pendidikan negara. Kertas ini menyeru kepada pendekatan holistik yang memartabatkan persekolahan dan pegangan agama sebagai teras pembangunan insan dan kemajuan negara.

Kelestarian Akuakultur Melalui Penggunaan Mikroalga Dari Perspektif Etika Islam: Satu Kajian Literatur

Mohd Shafik bin Mohd Samsi — 2025-09-06

Industri akuakultur dilihat semakin berkembang dengan teknologi-teknologi terkini yang mampu memberikan hasil yang lebih berkualiti. Berikutan cabaran yang lebih tinggi dalam penghasilan produk akuakultur seperti pencemaran alam sekitar, kebergantungan terhadap sumber makanan tidak lestari, dan isu keselamatan makanan, kelestarian dalam industri akuakutur dilihat semakin menjadi keutamaan pada masa kini. Mikroalga dilihat sebagai sumber semula jadi yang berpotensi tinggi dalam meningkatkan kelestarian sistem akuakultur melalui fungsinya sebagai sumber pemakanan alternatif dan juga biofilter. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk melihat secara literatur saintifik berkenaan peranan mikroalga dalam sistem akuakultur dan menghubungkannya dengan prinsip etika Islam seperti tawazun (keseimbangan), amanah, dan maslahah (kemaslahatan umum). Kaedah kajian ini berbentuk kualitatif berasaskan analisis kandungan literatur menerusi koleksi jurnal, artikel ilmiah, tesis dan buku-buku yang berkaitan bidang kajian sains akuakultur dan prinsip syariah. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa penggunaan mikroalga bukan sahaja menyumbang kepada amalan akuakultur yang lebih bersih dan lestari, malah selari dengan ajaran Islam yang menekankan tanggungjawab manusia sebagai khalifah dalam menjaga kelestarian alam semula jadi. Kajian ini mencadangkan agar integrasi antara sains dan nilai Islam dijadikan asas dalam pembangunan dasar dan inovasi akuakultur yang mampan serta beretika.

Cyber Diplomacy and Digital Tools for Global Peacebuilding:

Sulastri binti Putit — 2025-09-06

In an era of escalating cyber threats and global digital interdependence, the role of cyber diplomacy has become increasingly critical to sustaining international peace and security. This paper explores how digital tools such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, and secure communication platforms can be strategically deployed to foster trust, shape norms, and promote cooperation between nations. By examining real-world case studies from regions including the European Union, ASEAN, and Africa, the study highlights how cyber diplomacy is evolving as both a practical and ethical framework for mitigating conflict in cyberspace. A five-stage engagement model is proposed to guide countries in implementing effective cyber diplomacy through inclusive governance, ethical standards, and multistakeholder collaboration. This paper argues that cyber diplomacy is not merely a reactive response to cyber incidents but a proactive mechanism for advancing intercivilisational dialogue and global stability in the digital age.

A Conceptual Framework For Financial Literacy And Retirement Planning Among Youth In Sarawak, Malaysia

Leviana Andrew — 2025-09-06

Retirement planning is an essential component of personal financial management, especially in the face of rising life expectancy, evolving employment structures, and the gradual shift away from public pension reliance. In Malaysia, despite ongoing national efforts to improve financial literacy, many young individuals, particularly in Sarawak, continue to face challenges in preparing adequately for retirement. Alarming statistics show that 70 percent of EPF contributors in Sarawak have savings below RM10,000, while 60 percent of youth are unable to cover a RM1,000 emergency without resorting to borrowing. These figures highlight the urgency of addressing financial preparedness among this demographic. This study aims to explore the factors that influence personal retirement planning among youth aged 15 to 30 in Sarawak. Specifically, it examines the roles of financial knowledge, computation capability, financial education, and attitudes toward financial products. A cross-sectional survey design will be employed, and data will be analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling to determine the strength and direction of relationships between the identified variables. The questionnaire includes sections on socioeconomic background and validated scales measuring each construct. The expected findings will provide insight into the financial behaviours and literacy levels of Sarawakian youth, identifying key gaps and opportunities for intervention. For practitioners and educators, the study offers guidance on how to develop targeted financial literacy programs that resonate with young people’s lived realities. From a policy perspective, the results support the need for region-specific strategies that incorporate financial education into broader development plans. This research contributes to the growing body of knowledge aimed at promoting long-term financial resilience among youth in emerging economies.

Modern Green Lobster Aquaponics: UiTM Sabah’s Innovative Model for Sustainable Community Empowerment and Resilience

Hendry Joseph — 2025-09-06

This paper presents the implementation of the Freshwater Lobster Production – Green Aquaponic Perennial System (FLP-GAPS) 2.0 as an innovative model developed by UiTM Sabah to sustainably empower and uplift rural communities. The project, carried out in Kampung Kayu Madang, applies a modern green aquaponics approach that integrates freshwater lobster farming with sustainable vegetable cultivation—anchored in the principles of the Blue Economy. Community participants received comprehensive training in technical aquaponics, entrepreneurship, and resource management, resulting in significant improvements in knowledge (93%), technical skills (94%), and daily practices (86.7%). The project fostered strong self-confidence among the community, enabling them to manage the system independently with minimal external support. The outcomes of FLP-GAPS 2.0 go beyond income generation; they inspire a wider vision for replication in other underserved communities. The success of this project reflects UiTM Sabah's role as a catalyst for social innovation and sustainable rural development through effective knowledge transfer, technology adoption, and inclusive university-community collaboration.

Developing a Shariah Governance Framework for Crowdfunding Platforms in Malaysia

Amir Abrar Abd Latif — 2025-09-06

Abstract

The rapid growth of crowdfunding platforms in Malaysia has created new opportunities for alternative financing while raising concerns about Shariah compliance. Unlike Islamic banking and takaful, which operate under well-established Shariah governance frameworks issued by Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM), Islamic crowdfunding platforms lack a standardized governance model. This study aims to develop a conceptual Shariah governance framework tailored for crowdfunding platforms in Malaysia. Adopting a qualitative research design, the study employs document analysis of existing regulatory guidelines, including the Securities Commission Malaysia’s (SC) Recognized Market Guidelines, the Shariah Governance Policy Document (SGPD) by BNM, and relevant academic literature sourced from indexed journals. The findings highlight five essential components of a Shariah governance framework: (i) legal and regulatory compliance, (ii) Shariah supervisory oversight, (iii) financial management and risk control, (iv) technological integration to enhance transparency, and (v) stakeholder engagement through education and trust-building measures. The proposed framework emphasizes the establishment of a Shariah Supervisory Board (SSB), standardized Shariah contracts such as mudarabah and musyarakah, and the adoption of fintech solutions, including blockchain, to ensure transparency and accountability. This study contributes to bridging the governance gap in Islamic crowdfunding by providing a structured framework that can guide platform operators, regulators, and policymakers. The findings also offer practical implications for enhancing public trust and investor confidence in Malaysia’s Islamic fintech ecosystem.

Keywords: Shariah governance, crowdfunding, Islamic fintech, mudarabah, Malaysia.

Techno-Structural Empowerment

Leviana Andrew — 2025-09-06

This conceptual paper introduces techno-structural empowerment (TSE), a novel framework integrating digital governance and institutional theory to enhance women-led cooperative performance in Malaysia. Synthesizing structural empowerment theory, institutional theory, and digital governance literature, the study proposes a model linking institutional pressures (coercive, normative, mimetic) and digital enablers (e-governance tools, data systems) to cooperative outcomes, mediated by TSE. The study will employ a mixed-methods approach: (1) Qualitative case studies (6–8 cooperatives) to explore institutional and digital barriers, and (2) Quantitative surveys (200 cooperatives) analyzed via structural equation modeling (SEM) to validate framework relationships. Data collection will include interviews with board members and digital readiness assessments. The framework advances empowerment theory by bridging structural, institutional, and digital perspectives. It offers policymakers actionable tools, such as gender-responsive digital reforms (e.g., MyDigital Blueprint revisions) and institutional quotas. As the first study theorizing this intersection in Malaysia, it lays groundwork for empirical testing and gender-inclusive development strategies.

A Conceptual Framework Extending Media System Dependency (MSD) Theory through Social Media Use Among Gen Z

Pressca Neging — 2025-09-06

This study proposes a conceptual framework for extending Media System Dependency (MSD) Theory by introducing Social Media Dependency (SMD) within the context of Gen Z's digital behavior. By integrating perspectives from the social, social media, and entrepreneurial domains, the framework aims to explore the factors that contribute to SMD and its implications for constructive social engagement. A comprehensive literature review across communication studies, digital media research, and entrepreneurship theory was conducted to inform the model.

Central to this study is the proposition of an "entrepreneurial system" as a determining structure within the MSD framework. This system highlights key factors such as entrepreneurial potential, education and entrepreneurial intention that may influence Gen Z's dependency on social media platforms. These factors, while contributing to dependency, may also foster positive outcomes such as civic participation, digital literacy, and innovation, all of which are essential for promoting inclusive dialogue, social harmony, and building peace in an increasingly interconnected world.

By viewing SMD not only as a behavioral phenomenon, but also as a potentially constructive force when aligned with entrepreneurial and educational goals, this framework repositions media dependency as a catalyst for global cooperation and peace. The study is conceptual in nature, and proposed hypotheses require empirical validation. It is the first of its kind to examine Gen Z’s SMD through a tripartite lens; social, media, and entrepreneurial domains while offering valuable contributions to the evolving literatures of MSD Theory, social media dependency, generational studies, and digital peace-building.

Integrating Sharia-Based Monetary Instruments with ESG Indicators: A Hybrid Model for Sustainable Islamic Economic Growth

Ahmad Syaichoni — 2025-09-06

Sustainable economic growth has become a global imperative, necessitating the integration of faith-based financial frameworks with international sustainability standards. This study aims to develop a hybrid model that integrates Sharia-based monetary instruments—such as sukuk, productive zakat, and qard hasan—with Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) indicators to promote green economic growth aligned with Islamic values. Employing a qualitative exploratory approach and a systematic review of contemporary literature, this research reveals substantial potential for synthesizing maqāṣid al-sharīʿah (the higher objectives of Islamic law) with ESG frameworks to construct a governance model that is both ethically grounded and environmentally responsible. The findings indicate that this integration enhances the role of Islamic financial institutions in supporting Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), reinforces social accountability, and fosters innovation in Islamic fiscal and monetary policies. The proposed model offers practical relevance for regulators, scholars, and financial practitioners in designing an Islamic economic system that not only complies with Sharia but also addresses pressing environmental and social challenges.

Pendekatan Maqasid Syariah Dalam Menangani Isu Etika Kecerdasan Buatan (Ai): Suatu Kerangka Konsep

Masnih Mustapa — 2025-09-06

Kemunculan teknologi kecerdasan buatan (AI) yang pesat dalam pelbagai bidang seperti kesihatan, pendidikan dan kewangan telah menimbulkan beberapa isu etika, antaranya privasi data, diskriminasi algoritma dan ketelusan keputusan mesin. Namun begitu, perbahasan mengenai etika AI kebanyakannya masih dikuasai oleh pendekatan sekular Barat, manakala penerapan nilai-nilai Islam seperti Maqasid Syariah masih kurang diberi perhatian secara menyeluruh. Oleh itu, kajian ini bertujuan menganalisis isu-isu etika utama berkaitan AI serta mencadangkan satu kerangka konseptual berasaskan prinsip Maqasid Syariah sebagai panduan etika. Kajian ini menggunakan kaedah kualitatif dengan menganalisis pelbagai bahan rujukan termasuk kajian literatur terkini, dasar teknologi dan garis panduan etika AI. Hasil analisis mengenal pasti lima isu etika utama dalam AI yang dapat dipadankan secara langsung dengan lima prinsip utama maqasid iaitu penjagaan agama (ḥifẓ al-dīn), nyawa (al-nafs), akal (al-‘aql), keturunan (al-nasl), dan harta (al-māl). Berdasarkan padanan tersebut, kajian ini mengemukakan satu model dinamakan Maqasid-Driven Ethical AI Framework (M-DEAF) yang merangkumi tiga komponen utama: penilaian etika, penapisan maqasid dan pelaksanaan tindakan. Kerangka ini berpotensi menjadi rujukan berguna kepada pembuat dasar, saintis data Muslim dan institusi teknologi dalam membangunkan sistem AI yang lebih beretika, adil dan berpaksikan nilai Islam. Kajian ini turut memberi sumbangan penting kepada bidang fiqh mu‘āmalah kontemporari dan membuka ruang bagi kajian lanjut secara lapangan dalam pelbagai sektor industri.

Exploring Students’ Coping Strategies for Academic Stress through the Lens of Islamic Principles

Aiza Johari — 2025-09-06

University students often experience different levels of stress while completing academic tasks, which may lead to significant stress, especially when dealing with examinations. Numerous studies have highlighted the critical role that religion can play in managing and coping with such stress. This study identifies the symptoms of academic stress that the undergraduate students are facing during examinations and investigates the coping mechanisms utilised by them to manage academic stress through an Islamic perspective and the impacts of these Islamic coping strategies.This study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining surveys with fifty one undergraduates from a local university and in-depth interviews with five selected students. It investigates how Islamic coping strategies are experienced and examines their cognitive, emotional, and behavioral effects. Findings reveal that the students predominantly engage in three forms of Islamic religious coping: worship in the heart (internal spiritual reflection), verbal worship (such as prayer and zikr), and worship by action (observable religious practices). These coping behaviors significantly contribute to mitigating stress by fostering cognitive resilience, emotional calmness, and constructive behavioral responses. The study underscores that awareness of both internal and external stressors alongside religious coping facilitates effective stress management, which in turn improves academic performance. Furthermore, the findings highlight the potential impacts of employing Islamic coping strategies, as suggested by the respondents. Understanding these impacts can help students choose appropriate coping mechanisms to manage academic stress more effectively. Besides, educational institutions and academics may utilise the findings to support students in managing academic stress more effectively and to design targeted programmes that address the identified stressors. This research enriches understanding of Islamic spirituality as a valuable resource for stress relief among students, offering practical insights for educational institutions to integrate spiritual support in student wellness programs.

Borneo Coastal Women: The Ecological Dilemma Of Charcoal Production

Fitri Kusumayanti — 2025-09-06

The expanse of mangrove forests and the harmony between the riverbanks and beaches in the Batu Ampar area of Kubu Raya Regency have evoked a sense of beauty, even sadness. They evoke a clear tone, often with aesthetic and emotional connotations. The natural beauty and potential of the timber industry in the 1980s greatly piqued the interest of those seeking money. Now, after the collapse of the timber industry, what remains are the black hands of strong-willed women who "guard" the charcoal stove tradition. They struggle for a life that feels increasingly difficult amidst waves of ecological dilemmas. Through their narratives, unexpected strength and resilience are revealed regarding their role in maintaining the balance between the economy and nature. This research invites reflection on how women's grace can be a guiding light towards sustainable production, for a better future for future generations. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach, involving women who guard the charcoal stove tradition and the mangrove ecosystem as data sources. The research instruments include observation guides, interviews, literature studies, and documentation. The research findings show the importance of navigating the central role of women in the charcoal production industry in Borneo, which is often overlooked in environmental and economic discourse.

Assessing the Awareness of Halal Practices Among Muslim Students at UiTM Campus Samarahan, Kuching Sarawak.

Siti Nur Syamimi binti Adam Malik — 2025-09-06

In 2020, Malaysia was shaken by the exposure of a fake halal meat cartel that had operated for over four decades, smuggling non-halal meat and fraudulently labeling it as halal certified. Shockingly, several customs officers who are responsible for enforcing import regulations, were reportedly bribed to allow the entry of uncertified meat into Johor, where it was repackaged and distributed nationwide. This incident raised serious concerns among Malaysian consumers about the integrity of the halal products. This study aims to examine the extent of awareness and understanding among Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) students regarding the importance of halal. A quantitative research design was adopted to collect data in an objective and systematic manner using structured questionnaires, specifically distributed online via Google Forms to ensure broad participation and efficient data collection. The findings of this study are expected to highlight existing gaps in awareness among educated youth, who play a critical role as future consumers and industry contributors. These insights may assist regulatory bodies, educational institutions, and halal authorities in developing targeted initiatives to improve public understanding, strengthen enforcement mechanisms, and uphold the integrity of halal practices.

Economic and Legality Aspects of Imitation Brands

Arif Muanas — 2025-09-06

This article is a literature review that focuses on the study of imitation brand of product from the economic and legal aspects. In today's business competition, the phenomenon of brand transgression often occurs. Brand transgression is a form of infringement of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR). Infringement of IPR on brands can be identified into four categories, namely: counterfeit brands, pirated brands, gray market products, and imitation brands. Although imitation brands are one type of IPR infringement, not all imitation brands violate IPR. The basic concept of imitation brand is the similarity in terms of the brand with the original brand, which is also implicitly similar in terms of quality/performance of the product. Therefore, this study is important to clarify the dichotomy so that it can provide scientific contributions, especially marketing science. The determination an imitation brand, including violating intellectual property rights or not, is based on the level of consumer confusion (likelihood of brand confusion) caused by the similarity of the brand

Sustainable Innovation and Financial Performance: The Roles of Green Process and Product Strategies

Tasya Qoriah Putri — 2025-09-06

This study aims to examine the effect of green process innovation, green product innovation, and green image on financial performance, with firm size, financial constraints, total asset turnover, and firm age as control variables. The research focuses on consumer non-cyclical companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the period 2021–2022. The data employed are secondary data derived from companies’ annual financial statements and sustainability reports. The sampling technique applied was purposive sampling, resulting in a final sample of 164 firm-year observations across two years. The findings reveal that green process innovation significantly influences green product innovation. However, green process innovation does not directly affect financial performance. Instead, green product innovation mediates the relationship between green process innovation and financial performance. Furthermore, green image is found to have no significant effect on financial performance, nor does it moderate the relationship between green product innovation and financial performance in consumer non-cyclical firms.

Keywords: financial performance, green process innovation, green product innovation, green image

Contemporary Hangout Culture: A Social Interpretation of Urban Muslim Students in the Social Sphere of Pontianak

Maimunah M — 2025-09-06

This study focuses on the practice of contemporary nongkrong (hanging out) as a form of social interpretation of interaction spaces among Muslim urban students in Pontianak. In a rapidly shifting urban landscape, spaces such as coffee shops have evolved beyond their function as leisure venues, becoming arenas for symbolic exchange, identity formation, and the negotiation of Islamic values. The article argues that nongkrong, within the context of Muslim youth in urban settings, is a culturally significant social practice, intertwined with tensions between religiosity, digital culture, and symbolic class distinction. The integration of new media and digital platforms, including the growing reliance on algorithmic tools to complete academic work or to explore religious questions, reflects a broader epistemic crisis, as theorized by Tom Nichols in The Death of Expertise, where traditional sources of authority are increasingly displaced by immediate, accessible alternatives. Employing a qualitative methodology, this study utilizes participatory observation and semi-structured interviews, analyzed through Pierre Bourdieu’s theoretical lens of habitus and social capital. The findings reveal that nongkrong serves as a dynamic medium through which Muslim urban students construct and perform their identities, manifested in style, discourse, and interaction with digital environments. The coffee shop emerges not as a neutral space, but as a symbolic site of negotiation where faith, culture, and lifestyle converge in everyday expression. The novelty of this research lies in its interpretative approach, which neither trivializes nongkrong as superficial leisure nor romanticizes it as pure freedom. Rather, it positions nongkrong as a sociocultural text rich with value configurations, power dynamics, and cultural shifts. The study’s significance lies in its contribution to understanding how urban Muslim youth navigate identity, piety, and community within the evolving terrain of city life, where religiosity is increasingly shaped not only in sacred spaces but also within the casual, symbol-laden ambiance of the urban periphery.

Examining Social Influence in Alumni Engagement:

Suriani Jack Joni — 2025-09-06

Engaging alumni has become a strategic focus for higher education institutions (HEIs) aiming to enhance their reputation, strengthen professional networks, and increase financial contributions. Digital platforms play a crucial role in facilitating alumni interaction; however, their success depends on how readily users adopt and consistently use these tools. Although the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) has frequently been applied to examine perceived usefulness (PU) and perceived ease of use (PEOU), the influence of social factors on alumni engagement remains insufficiently explored. This study aims to assess how social influence affects both the behavioural intention to use and the actual use of alumni engagement platforms. A quantitative approach will be adopted, employing a structured survey targeting alumni from selected private universities in Malaysia. Participants will be selected using purposive sampling. The survey, adapted from validated TAM-related instruments, will utilize a five-point Likert scale to measure constructs including social influence, behavioural intention, and actual usage. Data will be analysed through SPSS (Statistical Package of Social Science) to examine the relationships among the variables. The results of this research are expected to contribute to the theoretical development of TAM by incorporating social influence as a significant predictor of digital engagement. In addition, the findings will offer practical guidance for HEIs especially to UiTM on influencing social dynamics such as peer encouragement and social validation to enhance alumni involvement. These insights will support the design of more effective digital strategies to cultivate enduring alumni relationships and institutional loyalty.

Tahap Kesedaran Terhadap Hibah, Faraid dan Wasiat dalam Kalangan Warga Kuching dan Samarahan, Sarawak

Siti Nursarjana binti Malim — 2025-09-06

Isu harta pusaka tidak dituntut dalam kalangan umat Islam di Malaysia terus meningkat, berpunca daripada kekeliruan terhadap hukum faraid, kekurangan perancangan harta melalui wasiat dan hibah, serta kelewatan dalam pengurusan pusaka. Kajian ini menilai tahap kesedaran masyarakat Islam Sarawak, khususnya di Kuching dan Samarahan terhadap hibah, faraid, dan wasiat sebagai instrumen utama pengurusan harta pusaka menurut syariah. Tinjauan awal menggunakan pendekatan bercampur, melibatkan soal selidik ke atas 300 responden Muslim di Kuching dan Samarahan, serta temubual kualitatif bersama-sama pengamal dan pakar bidang berkenaan. Dapatan menunjukkan 70% responden tahu tentang faraid, tetapi hanya 40% memahami pembahagian sebenar; 60% sedar tentang wasiat, namun hanya 18% telah menulis wasiat; dan hanya 35% faham konsep hibah, dengan 10% sahaja membuat dokumen hibah. Kekangan utama termasuk kurangnya pengetahuan syariah dan undang-undang, persepsi bahawa perancangan harta hanya penting selepas kematian, kos guaman yang tinggi, dan kurangnya promosi institusi. Kajian mencadangkan integrasi pendidikan pewarisan Islam dalam kurikulum sekolah menengah dan tinggi, kempen kesedaran nasional melalui kerjasama JAKIM, Amanah Raya, dan institusi kewangan, digitalisasi perkhidmatan perancangan harta, serta insentif cukai atau subsidi. Peningkatan kesedaran terhadap instrumen ini adalah penting untuk mengurangkan harta pusaka terbengkalai dan meminimumkan pertikaian keluarga, memastikan pengurusan pusaka yang patuh syariah.

Towards a Responsible AI Framework in ASEAN: An Islamic Ethical Approach

Satria Arjuna Julaihi — 2025-12-02

The development and deployment of Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems are raising complex ethical, social, and regulatory challenges across the globe. While regions like the European Union (EU), United Kingdom (UK), and the United States (US) have developed clear regulatory strategies, the ASEAN region remains in an early stage of policy implementation—largely characterized by voluntary guidelines and non-binding principles. This paper critically analyzes existing AI policies across ASEAN member states, with a focus on Malaysia, Indonesia, and Brunei, and compares them to global regulatory frameworks. It introduces an original scoring system to assess enforcement strength and policy maturity. Further, it proposes the integration of Maqasid al-Shariah—a classical Islamic ethical framework—as a culturally resonant foundation for AI governance in Muslim-majority ASEAN countries. Drawing on recent policy documents, academic literature, and contemporary AI ethics debates, the paper identifies key gaps and presents a faith-aligned model for responsible AI. Findings indicate that Islamic principles such as adl (justice), amanah (trust), and maslahah (public good) offer both universal and context-specific tools for developing a regionally relevant responsible AI framework. The study concludes with policy recommendations and outlines a strategic path toward an ASEAN-wide AI governance model that harmonizes ethical accountability with technological innovation.
