Tafsir al-Kasysyāf karangan al-Zamakhsyari merupakan sebuah kitab tafsir yang mempunyai kedudukan tersendiri di sisi para pengkaji dalam bidang tafsir. Mazhab muktazilah yang menjadi pegangan al-Zamakhsyari tidak menjadi penghalang bagi para ulama untuk menjadikan al-Kasysyāf sebagai rujukan dalam bidang kepakarannya terutamanya dari sudut kehebatan balaghah. Kertas kerja ini menyingkap sudut pandangan al-Zamakhsyari dalam bidang qiraat, yang merupakan satu alat yang penting bagi para mufassirīn dalam proses tafsir al-Quran. Penelitian dilakukan terhadap surah al-Baqarah yang merupakan surah terpanjang dalam al-Quran, kerana kelazimannya metode seorang mufassir itu dapat dilihat dengan jelas berdasarkan pemerhatian terhadap surah ini. Kajian ini merupakan satu kajian teks yang dilakukan terhadap kitab tafsir al-Kasysyāf. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahawa al-Zamakhsyari mengaplikasikan penggunaan qiraat dalam tafsir beliau. Namun, metode beliau dalam ilmu qiraat tidak mengikut manhaj ulama dalam bidang qiraat, berdasarkan bahagian qiraat yang dibawakan, metode nisbah qiraat kepada qurrā’ dan komentar beliau terhadap setiap bacaan yang dinaqalkan. Walau bagaimanapun, sudut tawjīh qiraat merupakan satu kelebihan al-Zamahsyari yang boleh menjadi panduan kepada pembaca tafsir beliau.

This paper deals with a Band Anti-Crossing (BAC) modelling to investigate the tailoring of band gap energy of Ga1-xInxNyAs1-y alloy based on nitrogen fractions. Three different numerical methods have been adopted to estimate the extended state of conduction band () parameters. The first two methods used Vegard’s law and Varshni’s equation to estimate by considering Ga1-xInxAs as ternary alloy based on temperature dependence, with values of bowing parameter of 0.475 and 0.477, respectively. The third method used excitonic band gap theory for Ga1-xInxAs alloy temperature dependence by considering Passler fitting () and average phonon temperature (). Results depict that optimum nitrogen fraction was in the range of 0.012 to 0.018% to achieve the device response at 1.3 μm wavelength, with an energy band gap in range of 0.955 ± 0.005 eV. Future work shows a potential study on influence of indium fractions in tailored energy band gap of Ga1-xInxN yAs1-y alloy and compressive strain of material. KEYWORDS Band Anti-Crossing, Dilute Nitride, Gallium Arsenide, Ga1-xInxN yAs1-y Alloy, Band Gap, 1.3 μm Wavelength

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.

Learning to memorize the Quran presents a challenge. This paper reports the development and alpha testing of a mobile application called “EzHifz” for Quran memorization based on the VARK learning style. The application received positive feedback for user acceptance testing and heuristic testing. The Fleiss kappa coefficient (κ) results for user acceptance testing show a very good level of agreement (κ = 0.850). Heuristic testing results show that κ = 0.731 for content, manual guide, memorization activities, performance information, and tasmik assessment attributes, while κ = 0.727 for presentation design, interactivity, multimedia elements, attraction, and motivation attributes. These results show a good level of agreement, which indicates that the EzHifz application meets the requirements of design and development based on the attributes evaluated. A combination of memorizing techniques in the application helps strengthen the use of preferred VARK learning styles. The techniques support the use of multiple senses that could facilitate the process of memorizing the Quran independently. This study contributes to the novel design and evaluation of the Quran memorization application based on the Quran memorization model. The application supports the teaching and learning of Quran memorization where it allows students to select their preferred VARK learning style with the technique of memorizing the Quran. This mobile application learning approach based on VARK’s learning style has the potential to be implemented in the process of memorizing the Quran as well as retaining memory through the use of memory senses in support of the learning materials developed.

The electrical characteristic of a Ga 0.952 In 0.048 N0.016 As 0.984 p-i-n diode with quantum wells was characterized by current-voltage (I-V) measurement at room temperature. The electrical parameters of the diode such as a leakage current (𝐼𝑜), the threshold voltage (VT) and dynamic resistance (𝑅𝑑) were extracted from the I-V characteristics. The p-i-n diode has a leakage current of 0.010 µA, threshold voltage of 0.22 V and dynamic resistance of 262 kΩ. Moreover, the Schottky parameters of the Ti-Au/n-GaAs pi-n diode such as an ideality factor (η), a Schottky barrier height (Φb) and series resistance (Rs) were determined using thermionic emission (TE) analysis of the forward-bias I-V characteristic as well as Norde and Cheung functions. The Schottky diode parameters showed an ideality factor of 4.79 with a barrier height of 0.79 eV were obtained using forward-bias I-V characteristics. On the other hand, barrier heights determined from the Norde and Cheung functions were calculated at 0.87 eV and 0.71 eV, respectively. As there is an inconsistency between the current-voltage characteristics and the models, the necessity to investigate the temperature dependence diode parameters for accurate determination of the mechanism responsible for the charge transfer and Schottky barrier height of GaInNAs p-i-n diode. Keywords: GaInNAs; p-i-n diode; current-voltage; barrier height; thermionic emission theory

Supporting technology is essential to assist students to do self-study as well as improve the quality of teaching method among tahfiz teachers. The development of technology in the form of digitalization such as educational application can be accessed easily anytime and anywhere by the students. However, tahfiz teachers are still using traditional methods in their teaching process resulting in boredom and lack of student concentration in class. This also affects the students’ achievement level of al-Quran memorization. In this study, the researcher aims to develop a holistic and comprehensive mobile application named “HiQMA” that is designed exclusively for tahfiz students and teachers to assist students in learning tahfiz al-Quran. This study is a development study within ADDIE model that provides a structured framework for designing and developing effective instructional materials or learning interventions that have four phases including evaluation phase. The evaluation phase includes user feedback and learning outcomes that involves 40 respondents on the subject of tahfiz al-Quran from Faculty of Quranic and Sunnah Studies in Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia. The feedback shows that the process of HiQMA application which contains four features i.e. Quran recitation, video call, video recording, and class record are able to assist students in learning tahfiz al-Quran.

The science of Qiraat is one of the historical glories in the Islamic history to be proud of, and it is still learned until today. It’s learning and teaching process remains conventionally. Besides that, this knowledge is spread out for certain groups of students especially those who are from the field of tahfiz al-Quran. Consequently, it has led towards an ignorance phenomenon of this knowledge among the community. The various styles of qiraat recitation could also lead to confusion and divergence among the society. Thus, this study aims to introduce a mobile application which has been developed by integrating the elements of naqli and aqli knowledge as an effort to introduce the recitation of riwayat Warsh to the Muslim society. The methodology used is qualitative and applied content analysis method and the mobile app design. As a result, a mobile app for teaching and learning the science of Qiraat on riwayat Warsh named EZ-WARSH has successfully developed in Malay language. Though, it still needs some more time to ensure that it could work effectively. This study could contribute towards the new learning method known as M-Learning among students in the public and private institutions as well as the Muslim society.

Kajian kertas kerja ini adalah berkaitan generasi al-Quran dalam mendepani cabaran semasa yang perlu ditangani dengan sebaik mungkin bagi mengekali keteguhan bersama nilai murni ajaran Islam yang di bawa al-Quran. Pendemik Covid 19 yang berlaku di masa ini telah banyak merubah kehidupan sosial manusia. Bagi mengekang wabak dari terus merebak masyarakat perlu menjaga SOP yang telah ditetapkan oleh pihak MKN. Kesan pendemik ini, banyak rutin harian terhalang dilakukan termasuk dalam bab ibadat dan Syariah. Kejadian wabak covid 19 ini berlaku di permulaan perbincangan Revolusi Industri 4.0 yang hangat dalam media dan juga forum. Negara maju telah bergerak ke arah RI 4.0 dalam ertikata penggunaan teknologi lebih pantas dalam semua lapangan hidup. Keperluan tenaga manusia dalam kerja semakin berkurang. Objektif kertas kerja ini adalah melihat bagaimana generasi yang berpegang teguh dengan Quran dalam menghadapi RI 4.0. Ia juga melihat kepada ciri-ciri generasi Quran yang hidup semasa wahyu diturunkan yang telah melakar kejayaan yang cemerlang dalam sejarah peradaban manusia. Namun begitu keungggulan generasi al-Quran tersebut telah tidak muncul selepas zaman mereka. Perkara ini perlu dibincang dan dimuhasabah lebih-lebih lagi dengan kemunculan perkembangan RI 4.0 kerana dibimbangi kehidupan umat Islam akan hanyut dalam arus perkembangan semasa. Justeru al-Quran terus kekal menjadi panduan hidup manusia di setiap zaman. Tidak luntur relevensinya dek perkembangan yang berlaku dan amat membantu manusia untuk mencapai keharmoniaan hidup di setiap zaman.

Matn Syatibiyyah dan Tayyibah al-Nasyr adalah rujukan utama dalam ilmu Qiraat. Imam al-Syatibiy menghasilkan Matn Syatibiyyah bersumber dari kitab al-Taisir yang dihasilkan oleh Imam Abu Amru al-Dani. Karya Imam al-Syatibiy ini menjadi teks utama dalam pengajian ilmu Qiraat Tujuh. Semua Usul Qiraat dan Farsy Huruf bagi semua Qurra diolah dengan bahasa yang amat baik dan menjadi hujah dalam ilmu Qiraat Tujuh. Manakala Matn Tayyibah al-Nasyr pula yang dihasil oleh Imam Ibn al-Jazari juga menjadi rujukan dalam Qiraat Sepuluh Kubra. Kandungannya diolah dari Matn Syatibiyyah dan Matn Durrah. Ijtihad Imam Ibn al-Jazari ini telah melengkap pengajian ilmu Qiraat Sepuluh. Menariknya jika dilihat dalam muqadimah kedua-dua matn tersebut terdapat bait syair yang diolah bersumber daripada hadith Rasulullah S.A.W. Perkara ini amat menarik dan perlu dibuat kajian untuk melihat bentuk syair yang digunapakai bersumberkan hadith. Selain itu ia juga melihat status hadith dengan cara melihat kepada takhrij hadith. Kajian mendapati hadith Nabi S.A.W. yang terdapat dalam dua matn Qiraat adalah berkaitan dengan kelebihan membaca al-Quran, anugerah yang mereka akan peroleh dan juga galakan untuk membaca al-Quran. Selain itu ia ada juga berkaitan cara membaca isti’azah dan basmalah. Kesimpulanya kedua matn Qiraat ini amat tinggi nilainya dalam ilmu Qiraat dan mengaitkan dalam kandungan muqadimahnya dengan beberapa hadith yang diolah dalam bentuk syair. Kedua-dua pengarangnya adalah mahir dalam ilmu Qiraat dan amat mahir juga dalam ilmu hadith.

The term Ḍabṭ refers to specific markers placed on the Quranic letters to indicate a sound or connotation of the letters such as Sukun, Mad, Tanwin, Syaddah etc. The purpose of Ḍabṭ is to ease the Quranic reciter to recite every text contained in the mushaf accurately. Since it was introduced in the middle of the first century, it has continued to expand from time to time until the present-day. The mushaf that has been transcript into Braille also is no exception. However, there are still some signs used in the regular mushaf that yet to be applied into Braille. Among the sign is the Ṣifr Mustadīr. The objective of this study is to identify the implications of the absence of such markings. The performance test method was used on study participants to obtain information which was then analyzed to achieve the objectives of the study. The findings imply that there are recitational error due to the absence of those sign. Based on this finding, discussions, conclusions and suggestions have been made aimed at ensuring the accuracy of the Braille form of the Quranic text to enable its readers to read the Quran as well as normal mushaf readers.

Menghafaz al-Quran mempunyai cabaran dan kesukaran yang memerlukan kepada kaedah hafazan yang berkesan dan bersistematik bagi membantu dan memudahkan proses menghafaz dan menjaganya dari lupa. Di antara cabaran terbesar yang dihadapi oleh penghafaz al-Quran adalah mengingati ayat–ayat mutashabih lafaz, iaitu ayat-ayat al-Quran yang sama atau hampir sama dari sudut lafaznya. Kesukaran dalam menghafaz dan mengingati ayat-ayat mutashabih lafaz ini menuntut kepada kaedah pengajaran dan pembelajaran khusus sama ada dari pihak institusi tahfiz, guru dan juga pelajar. Justeru, objektif kajian adalah untuk mengenal pasti kaedah hafazan di kalangan pelajar tahfiz al-Quran terhadap ayat mutashabih lafaz, dengan menjadikan Darul Quran Jakim dan Jabatan al-Quran dan al-Qiraat KUIS sebagai lokasi kajian. Kajian ini dibina berdasarkan metodologi kualitatif yang menggunakan kaedah temubual separa berstruktur sebagai instumen kajian. 30 orang pelajar tahfiz institusi tersebut dipilih sebagai peserta kajian. Kajian ini mendapati bahawa tahap penguasaan hafazan ayat mutashabih lafaz dalam kalangan pelajar adalah lemah dan tiada bahan pembelajaran khusus bagi menangani permasalahan tersebut.

Quranic memorization and Qiraat are considered important parts in the fields of Quranic studies. Their importance could be seen in their roles in preserving and ensuring the continuity and authenticity of the Quranic verses from mistakes and errors. As such, many programs are introduced in this field of study at the level of diploma by certified institutions specializing in that field. In the academic planning of 2003, the Faculty of Quranic and Sunnah Studies, Islamic University College of Malaysia, planned to offer a bachelor's degree in the field of Tahfiz and Qiraat studies. Therefore, it is the aim of this research to get the opinions of all the parties related to this program such as the students, teachers in the field of Tahfiz and Qiraat, future employers as well as members of society. Issues such as the necessity and suitability of the program, the capability of students in following the curriculum, and its prospects in academic advancement as well as future employment are the main points to be dealt with in this research. The methodologies adopted in this research include the methods of field research such as the use of questionnaires distributed to and interviews with selected respondents in parts of peninsular Malaysia. The findings indicate that the present level of Tahfiz and Qiraat studies at the diploma level is sufficient to cater to the needs of society. In general, the need for it to be offered at the bachelor's degree level is outweighed by the inadequacy of employment opportunities for its graduates in the job market and thus, must heavily rely on the support and assistance of the government.

In Malaysia, the use of Al-Quran of Uthamani’s script has been empowered through the approach and exposure initaitives by Ministry of Home Affair’s.
