Gifted and talented students are students who possess a high cognitive level. Most preceding researches have concentrated more on analyzing students’ cognitive, but the issue of students’ socio-emotional well-being is often overlooked. Based on the conclusions of the needs analysis conducted among students and teachers, the principal issue among these students is the issue of social anxiety. This social anxiety issue will hinder students’ true potential if one does not address it promptly. The issue of social anxiety occurs due to students’ thinking fallacies, social avoidance and stress in themselves and the atmosphere. Hence, to help identify the socio-emotional problems of social anxiety among these gifted and talented students, the researchers proposed the development of the Qalbun Salim Module with the integration of Islamic counselling (Al-Ghazali Psycho-Spiritual Counseling Theory) and western counselling theory (Cognitive Behavioral Theory). This module would be developed through five phases of design and development (Design development research-DDR) using the ADDIE model approach, namely needs analysis, design and development and implementation and evaluation of the module. The development of this module is also a discovery in today’s gifted and talented education. The researchers hope that this Qalbun Salim Module would help students and provide guidance to teachers, identify the level of students’ socio-emotional well-being, and help establish students’ potential to nurture students as Islamic Scholars in the future.

The verse 7 of Surah al-Tariq mentions human creation from semen that emerges between the backbone and the ribs. However, interpretations of the words al-sulbi and al-tara’ib in verse 7 in the verse have been debated among scholars due to their irrelevance to modern scientific discovery about human creation. This study aims to review various scholars' interpretations of the verse to determine whether the translation of meaning matches modern scientific facts. Library research methodology is used to analyse the explanations of the scholars. The findings reveal that some scholars support the Quran in interpreting the verse and others are against it. Among the view are the verse is incompatible with modern medical knowledge, assumptions of the meaning are made, the Quran does not directly refer to the production of semen, and the Quran refer to the child who comes out from between the backbone and the ribs which is the womb. Further studies need to be conducted to determine the exact meaning of the verse since the views seem unable to clarify the verse.

Pelajar pintar dan berbakat adalah merupakan pelajar yang mempunyai tahap kognitif yang tinggi. Kebanyakan kajian lepas lebih memfokuskan kepada kajian tentang kognitif pelajar namun sebenarnya isu kesejahteraan sosioemosi pelajar sering diabaikan. Berdasarkan dapatan analisis keperluan yang dilaksanakan dalam kalangan pelajar dan guru, di dapati isu utama yang berlaku dalam kalangan pelajar ini adalah isu kebimbangan sosial. Isu kebimbangan sosial ini akan merencatkan potensi sebenar pelajar jika tidak ditangani segera. Isu kebimbangan sosial ni berlaku kerana kesilapan berfikir pelajar, penghindaran sosial dan tekanan (stres) dalam diri serta persekitaran. Oleh itu bagi membantu mengenali masalah sosioemosi kebimbangan sosial dalam kalangan pelajar pintar dan berbakat ini, pengkaji mencadangkan agar Modul Qalbun Salim dibangunkan dengan integrasi kaunseling Islam (Teori Kaunseling Psiko-Spiritual Al-Ghazali) serta teori kaunseling barat (Teori Kognitif Tingkah laku). Modul ini akan dibangunkan dengan melalui lima fasa reka bentuk dan pembangunan (Design development research-DDR) menggunakan pendekatan model ADDIE iaitu analisis keperluan, reka bentuk dan pembangunan dan perlaksanaan dan penilaian modul. Pembangunan modul ini juga merupakan inovasi dalam pengajaran pintar dan berbakat masa kini. Diharapkan Modul Qalbun Salim ini akan membantu pelajar dan memberi bimbingan kepada guru serta dalam mengenal pasti tahap kesejahteraan sosioemosi pelajar dan membantu perkembangan potensi pelajar secara menyeluruh dalam usaha melahirkan pelajar sebagai Cendekiawan Islam di masa akan datang.

The Dabrowski’s concept of overexcitabilities is the heightened intensity and sensitivity displayed in the gifted students’ behaviours when responding to the stimuli in the environment. Dabrowski identified five areas of intensity-psychomotor, sensual, intellectual, imaginational, and emotional. This study was administered to identify the profile of overexcitability among gifted and talented students. This research was a descriptive and inferential quantitative study conducted in order to see the profile and correlation between the two variables. The study sample consisted of 40 students from a gifted and talented school established in Kolej GENIUS Insan, Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM), Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. This study employed Questionnaire-II (OEQ II) to measure overexcitability. The findings of this survey demonstrated that gifted and talented students have a unique personality, and there is a significant relationship at a high level between the gifted and overexcitability. However, people often give a negative impression that these students have behaviour or disciplinary problems. The result of this investigation could help to explain the overexcitability and be able to understand the positive and negative elements that exist in students. Therefore, awareness must be cultivated to enhance selfdevelopment and the skills for overexcitable adaptation in the daily life of these students.

Gifted children certainly have special psychological challenges, but they are unrelated to their giftedness. Rather, giftedness appears to bring complexity to an individual, which, depending on a variety of conditions, can either improve or impede with successful adjustment. The objective of the current research is to identify the level of social anxiety among gifted and talented student. The questionnaire for measuring social anxiety used in this study is the Social Anxiety Scale for Adolescent (SAS-A) by La Greca and Lopez (1998). The results of this study revealed that the respondents had a significantly high level of social anxiety. The researcher suggests that a motivational module be developed to help students comprehend and adapt to the uniqueness of this socioemotional issue of social anxiety among gifted and talented students at the conclusion of this study.
