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.

Thus, for the realization on the appointment of female mufti in Malaysia in the near future, a model of female mufti’s jurisdiction should be design and develop.

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.

Hadith which defined as the speeches, actions, tacit approvals and characteristics of Prophet Muhammad PBUH requires thorough attention in understanding. One of the principles in comprehending hadith is by understanding the content contextually, and it could be done by gathering related hadith under a certain concept. Ontology could play the role in the enhancement of this particular principle. However, the usage of ontology in the field of hadith is still limited due to various books of hadith available. Furthermore, the existing hadith ontology has only been focusing on the method of narration section. Thus, this study aims to propose an ontology based on hadith. Apart from that, it intends to explain the context of hadith prior to ontology creation. In order to achieve these objectives, several phases have been conducted to expand the understanding of hadith. The word Samica which means hearing has been chosen as a sample in this approach. The phases involved were the identification of the noun form of the word Samica, the extraction of hadith with the word Samica, the analysis of hadith based on several commentaries books, as well as the development of the ontology. The results indicated that the hadith could be categorized into several concepts which are Allah, Belief, and Sharicah. Allah, Belief and Sharicah have been recognized as crucial concepts in Islamic knowledge. In summary, ontology could be utilized in expanding hadith understanding. � 2017 American Scientific Publishers All rights reserved.

Communication is important in building a harmonious household and in strengthening the relationship between a husband and wife. However, the lack of communication could cause confusion, misunderstanding, and even arguments and divorce (Khalili, 2011; Enrichment, 1914; Atika Widayanti and Puji Lestari, 2014). According to statistics, in the first three months of 2016, there have been 15,231 cases of divorce in Malaysia. Moreover, studies claim that communication problems are among the main causes of divorce (Atika Widayanti and Puji Lestari, 2014). Due to these problems, it is crucial to review the best methods of communication and refer to them. Therefore, this study analysed the connotations of a number of hadiths from Sahih Bukhari through their interpretations and characterised the two-way conversations. The study also explored the approach of the Prophet in communicating with his wife by using some of the hadiths that were narrated by ‘Aishah r.a. in Sahih Bukhari. Furthermore, the study has applied a qualitative approach through an inductive analysis of texts. The implications of the study will increase the understanding of how to communicate with wives from verbal and nonverbal aspects.
