Water scarcity and pollution are among the most pressing ethical and ecological challenges of our time. This study re-examines the Qur’an not only as a theological text but as a civilisational grammar, where al-mā’ (water) functions as a semantic, ethical, and epistemological signifier. Employing a triangulated methodology that bridges semantic field analysis, classical and contemporary tafsīr, Islamic legal thought, and scientific inquiry, this research constructs a polarity-conscious interpretive framework for al-māʾ within diverse Qur’anic genres. By bridging linguistic nuance with ethical application, it contributes to Qur’anic hermeneutics and sustainability discourse by offering a genre-sensitive model for ecological ethics, curriculum design, and policy engagement. Based on semantic analysis, 60 verses explicitly referencing water on earth, analysed through classical and contemporary tafsīr, and modern environmental discourse. Findings reveal water as a symbol of divine mercy, purification, justice, and trial, mapped across Meccan and Medinan suwar to trace its ethical evolution from metaphysical reflection to communal responsibility. It introduces a diachronic semantic- polarity mapping of al-māʾ across Qur’anic genres, offering a novel framework that bridges classical tafsīr with contemporary ecological ethics in providing actionable insights for faith-based environmental policy and educational curriculum development. This Qur’anic discourse is then recontextualised within sustainability paradigms, particularly SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), to highlight its relevance to global water governance. The study contributes to Islamic environmental ethics by proposing a faith-informed framework for water stewardship. It advocates interdisciplinary collaboration between theology, science, and policy, positioning the Qur’an as a living source of ecological wisdom capable of guiding ethically resonant responses to today’s water crises.

The disregard for the spiritual dimension of children, particularly within the contemporary technological era, contributes significantly to the erosion of ethical values within familial domains. Therefore, the spiritual formation of children must be emphasized by parents, with a particular emphasis on mothers, who occupy the most proximate role in their children's lives. The exemplary source of spiritual formation is the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), as he is the best example to follow in family life. Thus, this study aims to extract hadiths from Sahih al-Bukhari regarding the role of mothers in shaping the spiritual development of children. The extracted hadiths will be analyzed to identify the contextual meanings of these hadiths. This study employed the qualitative method based on the text analysis approach using the extraction of hadiths related to the role of mothers from Sahih al-Bukhari, applying the Theory of Semantic Fields (SFT) for the term "umm" (mother). This theory is applied to identify hadiths related to the role of mothers based on the term "umm" and its synonyms, antonyms, hypernyms, and meronyms. The result of the study shows a total of 5 hadiths directly related to the spiritual formation of children. These 5 hadiths encompass aspects of instilling faith, adopting an approach to train children in performing worship, and praying for children. In conclusion, spiritual formation within children, guided by the hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, serves as a comprehensive guide to shaping their character and nurturing them into pious individuals.

Cancer is a type of disease that exists as a result of a cell imbalance or caused by a negative cell reaction in the body. Normally, body cells will go through the cell replacement process according to its rules to improve, restore and replace new cells if there is an injury or wound. This cancer disease has rarely occurred in the community since 4500 BC, therefore this study will increase knowledge and input about the signs of cancer and general ideas related to treatment methods and prevention of cancer infection. There are 100 types of cancer that have been stated by earlier Islamic scientists in the books of Tibb and also in the hadith by using various words that indicate 'cancer' such as tumor, boil and so on. Although there are many past studies that debate about cancer in various aspects, this study analyzes cancer from the point of view of the hadith recommended by the Prophet SAW. By applying the method of content analysis contained inductively and deductively that focusing on the book of hadith al-Sahihain which is the book of Sahih al-Bukhari and the book of Sahih Muslim and theirs syarah, then this study has achieved three main objectives namely; i) identify the names and records of cancer recorded in the hadith, ii) study the signs of cancer as recorded in the text of the hadith, iii) analyze the treatment methods recommended by the Prophet SAW. The results of this study will be more suggestive to the current community that started to practice and take the treatment recommended by the Prophet SAW to cure a disease especially cancer.

Golongan munafik ialah mereka yang mempunyai penyakit di dalam hatinya. Golongan ini cukup terkenal dengan sifat mereka yang penuh tipu daya melalui kata-kata dan tindak-tanduk mereka. Surah at-Taubah merupakan antara surah yang banyak mengisahkan tentang perihal golongan ini di dalam ayat-ayatnya. Namun begitu, pengkaji-pengkaji yang lepas kurang memberikan perhatian kepada kajian mengenai sifat golongan munafik ini melalui bahasa tubuh. Oleh itu, tujuan kajian ini dijalankan adalah untuk mengenalpasti kewujudan bahasa tubuh golongan munafik di dalam surah at-Taubah. Kajian ini berbentuk kualitatif dan menggunakan pendekatan penganalisisan tematik. Teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan ialah kajian kepustakaan (library research) melalui penelitian kitab-kitab tafsir, jurnal dan artikel yang relevan kepada tajuk ini. Hasil kajian mendapati bahawa terdapat penggunaan bahasa tubuh di dalam surah at-Taubah; malas, perbuatan mencela, marah, perbuatan menggenggam tangan, ketawa, menangis, duduk berdiam dan saling berpandangan. Melalui bahasa tubuh, pemahaman kepada konteks dan makna ayat dapat difahamkan dengan lebih mendalam. Kajian ini penting bagi memberi pendedahan kepada masyarakat tentang bahasa tubuh dan golongan munafik sekaligus dapat meneliti konteks ayat surah at-Taubah dengan lebih baik. Di samping itu, kajian ini juga dapat menyumbang khidmatnya sebagai suatu cabang ilmu yang baru untuk dititikberatkan oleh pengkaji-pengkaji dalam bidang ini.

The main agenda of feminism movements is to fight for gender equality between women and men. This agenda is advocated both by the Western as well as by some Muslim feminists. In Malaysia, a Muslim activist group who aggressively fight for gender equality is known as Sisters in Islam (SIS). This group has challenged and questioned the validity and reliability of the interpretation of some Quranic verses related to women, as it is felt that some of the verses were misinterpreted. To the group, the misinterpretation of the verses has led to misunderstanding regarding the positions and rights of women, which resulted into gender inequality. This paper aims to discuss the standpoint of SIS concerning gender equality by focusing on several issues; the superiority of men (qawwamah), the credibility of women as witness and the rights of women to be an imam. An analytical technique is used to analyse the SIS group’s viewpoint on the issues by referring several printed sources and articles published. These views will be compared with prominent Muslim scholars’ interpretation on related verses that has been used to find any contradiction or misinterpretation. The study concluded that SIS holds a misleading understanding on the interpretation of certain Quranic verses led by misrepresented claims on the unfounded contradiction between the verses of the Quran

The Qur'an contains almost braches of knowledge and courses or fields of studies. It also covers every aspects of life. Obviously, it is stated in the Qur'an that there are three different types of admission to it. The three types of human beings to comprise; the believers who believe in all its contents, the infidels who absolutely in rejecting and denying the truth and opposing the Qur'an and its message, as well as the hypocrites who use the Qur'an and twist it to suit and justify their fraud. The need to understand the essence of each group according to the perspective of the Qur'an is very important. Hence, the study of the unbelievers is done to understand the true nature of this group. This study attempts to extract the pattern of extraction for the Baar word for unbelieving people which involves the entire verse in the Qur'an. This research is a qualitative study using summative content analysis method. Findings show that, the Baar sentence for the human category does not tell us about; (i) the attributes of this group, (ii) the factors that cause the rejection of the Qur'an, and (iii) the rewards that Allah has provided and reserved for this group in the world or the hereafter.

Sahih al-Bukhari is considered as the most authentic book of hadith. One of the important aspects in the hadith study is the hadith understanding. Contextual approach is one of the approaches in the hadith understanding. The Islamic scholars have written several books of commentaries in order to explain the hadith content based on its context. However, recent research shows that the hadith understanding level for the Muslim remains in at very moderate level. Previous researches show that existing contextual understanding of hadith are limited in method of qawli, mawdhu’i and muzawwaj. In this paper, a classification that grouped the contextual understanding of hadiths has been proposed in order to overcome this problem. This research focuses on the classification of hadith fi’li in Sahih al-Bukhari based on the Pillars of Islam. Qualitative approach that uses contextual analysis with aim to improve the level of hadith understanding was applied. The phases included the process of selecting hadith fi’li related to word “basara” in Sahih al-Bukhari, extracting their contextual understanding, and finally grouping them into the classifications based on the Pillars of Islam. This classification has five classes namely syahadah, solat, saum, zakat, haj. Based on the results, the contextual understanding of selected hadith involves three classes which are syahadah, solat and zakat.

Al-Quran had mentioned about its function as cure and remedy for human disease through word shifa' since 1400 years ago. Nowadays, Islamic medicine approach has been chosen as complementary treatment for physical disorders such as cancer, heart disease, kidney disease, and stroke. Islamic medicine practitioners usually implement particular quranic verses in their treatment so called as ruqyah and also suggest to the patient to recite selected quranic verses at all time of the treatment. However, those quranic verses were not specifically related to those diseases in terms of its meaning. Thus, it is essential to revise the verses as to ensure that those quranic verses were implemented in the right way as its holy status. Objectives: This study attemps (1) to amass various mufassirin views regarding to the interpretation of the word shifa', (2) to summarize the interpretation of word shifa' through various mufassirin views and (3) to determine the right concept of implementation of quranic verses as the treatment for physical disorder based on the interpretation of word shifa'. Methodology: This study applies literature reviews method in order to obtain the data from the past and existing scholars texts and then analysing the data through inductive approach. Results: Quranic verses give tremendous effects as cure or remedy for human disease physically and spiritually through the detail discussion among mufassireen and current researches. Therefore, instead of conventional medicine, this practice should be recognized and implemented among Muslim as complementary treatment.

This study examines the credibility of hadith(Islam’s prophetic tradition) -based information on web pages. It focuses on the utilization, concerns, perceptions and opinions of a majority of Muslim scholars and academicians concerning the credibility of hadith available on websites. The interesting finding of this study is that the majority of the participants lack trust and confidence in the hadith found on websites. They agreed that reliable criteria are needed to ensure that the hadith information found on websites is accurate and reliable. This study suggests important criteria for ascertaining the credibility of hadith information such as verifying its authenticity, determining the reliability of the web host, proper citation of the primary sources and support from hadith scholars.

This paper highlights one of the controversial issues among Muslims and none Muslims which is the wonders of the holy Quran and its ascendency over modern scientific discoveries. From the Positive perspective the wonders of Quran don�t add a real value to scientific discoveries, whereas, Muslim scholars contend the magnificent effect of Quranic miracles and its role of consolidating the Quran divine position among other revealed and philosophical books. The researchers present one of the Quranic marvels in field of eugenics and embryology as unequivocal evidence for compelling impact of the Quran nowadays by using the descriptive method. Researchers found that the impact of Quranic marvels is fact despite all objections depending on one example about determining the gender of the fetus and they attempted to compile Quranic verses that are relevant to the matter presented to two deferent categories based on the possible like between the verse and the issue of sex determination. � 2017 American Scientific Publishers All rights reserved.

In order to renurture students’ interest in learning Ibadah, it is imperative that Teacher of Islamic Education (Tie) utilize the right and suitable teacing technique and model. Past studies have shown that exposure to various teaching models and techniques may assist in enhancing students’ interest in learning that results in them excelling their education. Nonetheless, such exposure is not much emphasized by TIe. In addition, educators are also facing with problems in producing effective instruction due to the reason that they do not fully understand their students’ interest and learning style. Teachers’ failure in identifying appropriate learning style will result in students’ becoming disinterested in learning. In order to obtain an effectiveness of the teaching and learning process at the optimal level, TIe must identify students’ learning styles as well as using an appropriate strategy. One of the teaching techniques that teachers can employ is the audio and visual technique. Studies have shown that teachers' self-efficacy (SE) beliefs were examined as determinants of their job satisfaction and students' academic achievement. In addition, studies also found that teaching strategies and techniques is one of the prominent factors that led to high SE of a teacher. Precisely, this study will: 1) identify the using of audio (hearing) and visual (sight) for Excellent Teachers of Islamic Education (ETIe) in teaching subject Ibadah and 2) to analyse the effects of using audio (hearing) and visual (sight) techniques towards the SE of ETIe. This study used a qualitative approach while interview and observation are as the main instruments. This study has also seen to have implications for the policy and practice of teaching among Teachers of Islamic Education TIe. Keywords: audio, visual, teacher self-efficacy, Teacher of Islamic Education

As humans, we tend to commit mistakes while dealing with people in our daily life, especially by using inappropriate communication and thus can compromise our rapport and relationship with others. It is undeniable that excellent human interactions will require effective communication as humans need to inform, express feelings, imagine, influence, and meet social expectations on a daily basis. Therefore, this article aims to investigate effective communication in human interactions based on the phrase of “Qaulan Sadidan” in the Quran. The phrase was revealed twice in two places: Surah al-Nisa’ verse 9 and Surah al-Ahzab, verse 70. In terms of understanding exegesis of the Quranic verses, the researchers select books from five medieval and contemporary scholars namely Tafsir al-Jalalayn by Jalaluddin al-Suyuti, Tafsir al-Quran al-‘Adzim by Ibn Kathir, Jami’ al-Bayan fi Ta’wil al-Quran by Ibn Jarir al-Tabari, Safwat al-Tafasir by Muhammad Ali al-Sabuni and Al-Kashshaf ‘an Haqa’iq Ghawamidh al-Tanzil by al-Zamakhshari. The researchers then extend the understanding of those verses to study the correlation of “Qaulan Sadidan” with effective communication in the context of human interactions. This study adopts inductive and analytical study where two Quranic verses from Surah al-Nisa’ and Surah al-Ahzab will be used and analysed to explore the deep and detailed meaning of the “Qaulan Sadidan” before analysing the correlation of “Qaulan Sadidan” with effective communication. It is obtained that the opinions of the Muslim scholars vary in terms of describing the meaning of “Qaulan Sadidan” and “Qaulan Sadidan” with effective communication can be adopted by individuals in their daily life interactions. Furthermore, it also can be concluded from both verses that by using Qaulan Sadidan in communication, Muslims will achieve a great attainment or “fawz ‘adzim” from Allah. These important findings eventually lead to the formation of a conceptual framework for effective communication based on those two Quranic verses.

The COVID-19 pandemic that struck the world has changed the landscape of human life post-21st century. The existence of such epidemic diseases has also been recorded in the world history of human civilization. Interestingly, the Quran, which was revealed fifteen centuries ago, also touches on the issue of pandemic or epidemic diseases that occurred to the previous generations and provides a reminder for the future generations. The Quran explains that epidemic diseases are one of the forms of worldly azab or punishment sent by Allah as a reminder of the damage and tyranny committed by human beings. The interpretation of epidemic diseases in the Quran has been parsed by a famous exegesis scholar, Imam al-Razi in his magnum opus, The Exegesis of Mafatih al-Ghayb. His masterpiece has brought a new dimension in understanding epidemic diseases through the combination of naqli and aqli approaches. Nonetheless, the collection of epidemic verses in The Exegesis of Mafatih al-Ghayb has been less frequently discussed. Therefore, this paper presents a study that identified and analyzed the verses related to epidemic diseases based on the views of Imam al-Razi. This study employed the qualitative method based on the text analysis approach using the Quran and The Exegesis of Mafatih al-Ghayb. This study found that the words rijz, rijs, and azab are synonymous with epidemics. These three words have certain characteristics that lead to the spread of the epidemic as stated by Imam al-Razi. Additionally, there are several holistic approaches stated by al-Razi in understanding epidemics and how to avoid them at present time and in the future. This approach needs to be understood by every layer of the society in order for the message of the Quran on epidemic diseases to be understood well and to curb the spread of epidemics.
