To understand the demands of the modern labor market, this study focuses on the marketability of graduates from programs that mix multimedia with Quranic studies. These programs combine multimedia as a minor with Quranic studies as a major. Nonetheless, concerns remain over the program's applicability in light of the quickly changing technology landscape and the graduates' capacity to use their education to their advantage in the workplace. This study examines the employment situation of USIM graduates in multimedia Quranic studies for the academic years 2017, 2018, and 2019. Evaluate graduates' opinions regarding the program's suitability in fulfilling the labor market demands and any barriers they see to improving their marketability. The study uses a quantitative research design to gather information from 330 former students who obtained a Bachelor of Quranic Studies with a Multimedia degree. The results show that 77.2% of graduates have jobs, which suggests that marketability skills are on the rise. With only 5.6% of graduates still unemployed, graduates have a great understanding of the demands of the labor market and a proactive approach to enhancing their abilities. The biggest impediment to developing marketable skills is financial, with 90% of graduates stating this as a reason for not enrolling in outside training or courses. To sum up, graduates of the Quranic Studies with Multimedia curriculum are in demand for employment and have a market worth to the businesses. Notwithstanding the difficulties from restricted resources and information exposure, the graduates desire to improve their abilities, underscoring the significance of a well-rounded education that integrates naqli and aqli knowledge. These results provide insight into the success of this integration and the graduates' preparedness for the demands of the contemporary labor market.

This paper presents a study aimed at developing a realistic model for understanding users' intention to use Smart Learning Application (SLA). SLA provides users with an intelligent learning platform that enables effective learning management, user-centered networking of intelligent devices, and rapid learning from any location. However, despite the advantages of SLA, its use is not widely accepted. The study used a quantitative approach, and data was collected from 229 respondents using a survey. SmartPLS (v. 3.2.8) was used to examine the relationships between the variables in the proposed model. The study developed a comprehensive model based on DOI that addressed users' intention to use SLA. The findings indicated that the direct influence of Relative Advantage, Compatibility, and Complexity on users' intention to use Tarannum Smart Learning Application (TSLA) was not significant, and hypotheses H1, H2, and H3 were not supported. However, hypothesis H4, which postulated a significant relationship between Observability and Intention to Use, was supported. The proposed model can be used as a basis for improving the learning of various types of tarannum by teachers teaching the holy Quran. The study can be expanded to other Smart Learning Applications to validate the findings and identify more opportunities. TSLA, by design, promotes human-oriented networking of smart devices and applications, making it a suitable tool for encouraging active users. Longitudinal data may be necessary to investigate the variables that impact people's acceptance level of TSLA. The technical implementation of TSLA from a policy maker's viewpoint can beexplored in future studies.

Muslims consider the art of tarannum al-Quran a significant and valuable tradition that enhances the Quran's divine status. Tarannum involves reciting the Quranic verses melodically and rhythmically and is viewed as a spiritual act of worship. This article aims to provide an overview of tarannum, including its various forms and the necessary conditions for Quranic recitation. Tarannum has several types, each with a distinct melody and rhythm, including Bayyati, Hijaz, Soba, Rast, Jiharkah, Sikah, and Nahawand. Each style is used for specific Quranic verses, such as Bayyati for Surah Al-Fatiha and Hijaz for Surah Al-Fil. Adherence to specific conditions is crucial to performing tarannum, including correct Arabic letter pronunciation and elongation, modulation, and intonation of the voice. Additionally, understanding the Quranic verses' meanings is vital to convey the intended message effectively. In summary, tarannum plays an essential role in the Islamic faith, elevating the beauty and spirituality of Quranic recitation. This article's overview of tarannum's various forms and necessary conditions for Quranic recitation can benefit those interested in learning this art, preserving this valuable heritage for future generations. In addition, the integration of computing research with tarannum al-Quran offers potential research areas, such as developing digital tools for teaching and learning, using NLP and ML algorithms for analysis, and integrating VR and AR technologies, to preserve and enhance this significant tradition for future generations

The art of tarannum al-Quran is a Muslim’s precious heritage. Thus, this paper focuses on the evolution of the Hijazi and Misri streams in the art of tarannum al-Quran in Malaysia. The emphasis is given to the state of Kedah which is one of the early places of birth of this art in the country. Besides, this paper also highlights the aspects of the flow, styles, and recitation art of the famous qaris in this state, as well as the song transformation from the past to the present. This article includes two disciplines of study, namely library and field studies where several methods were used to collect the data including document analysis, interviews, and observations. The result shows that Kedah is one of the earliest pioneer states, and the catalyst of tarannum art, which triggers the transformation of al-Quran songs in Malaysia.

Tarannum is an art of beautifying and curving the voice tone according to a specific tempo and rhythm. It is a traditional art of reciting the Holy Quran. However, with the rapid advancement of ICT and high-end gadgets that have turned us into a digit society, there is an urgent need to create a new method of learning the tarannum. Therefore, the Tarannum Smart Learning Application (Tarannum-SLA) is proposed. It is an innovation of learning the tarannum, intending to catch the attention of new generations towards the Quran. This paper describes the process of requirement gathering and analysis for the development of Tarannum-SLA, referring to the initial phases in System Development Life Cycle (SDLC). The process of data collection, data analysis and preliminary design are discussed thoroughly in this paper. As a result, a requirement scheme

This article presents an investigation on the effectiveness of audiobook application in Tarannum learning for beginners, especially among Muslims with no foundation in Tarannum. This study aims to analyze the suitability of this alternative Tarannum learning method for beginners, as well as to identify the appropriate content to be incorporated in the audiobook. Finally, this study also aims to develop a model of the new platform for Tarannum learning; the Tarannum Interactive Audiobook Model. The qualitative approach is used in this study to collect the library data from books, articles, and journals to form a research model. Furthermore, this study also uses the interview method by asking relevant questions to some experienced respondents to get their views on the suitability, requirements and potential issues on the application of audiobooks for Tarannum learning. This study found that there are existing studies on the use of audiobooks for the teaching and learning process but not in the context of Tarannum. Therefore, this study has contributed in developing an audiobook model. This model will be used as the main reference to guide the development of the actual Tarannum Interactive Audiobook, which can further facilitate beginners and students in learning Tarannum al-Quran more effectively.

This article discusses the development procedures of the Tarannum Smart Learning Application (Tarannum-SLA). It is a teaching and learning aid that has been developed for those who are interested in the tarannum subject. The tarannum is a technique to beautify and curve the tone of voice, in a certain tempo and rhythm when reading the Quran. The main aim of Tarannum-SLA is to facilitate the process of learning tarannum. Also, this courseware could create awareness among Muslims on the importance of the Quran. The Tarannum-SLA was developed not only to attract Muslims but also for non-Muslims who are interested to know about Islam, especially in terms of the arts of Quran recitation. Furthermore, in this courseware, we provide three language options, which are Malay, English, and Arabic for the convenience of our diverse prospective users. There are seven styles of tarannum, including Bayyati, Nahwand, Hijaz, Rast, Soba, Jiharkah, and Sika that are included in the Tarannum-SLA. Furthermore, to examine the ability of Tarannum-SLA to tackle the users’ needs, we have conducted the usability analysis based on the diffusion of innovation model. The result indicated that most of the constructs are perceived at a high level by respondents. Thus, this evidenced the high usability of Tarannum-SLA in promoting Quranic education. Although the development of this courseware has reached the implementation stage, it still needs some future improvements, for example, to amend the verses and reciters.

The national education transformation agenda has put a clear aspiration and direction on the involvement of parents and communities in education. This has been apparently stated in the Malaysia Education Blueprint 2013-2025 through the ninth pillar which stated the strategies to encourage mutual partnerships with parents, communities, and private sectors. Apart from the hard work of all parties, leadership styles and communication are also among the key elements that need to be addressed to realize this aspiration. To ensure its sustainability, the nature of this collaboration needs to be flexible by considering certain limitations caused by unstable situations, including the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on Joyce Epstein's model, this quantitative study aims to confirm the dimensions and constructs in the model of virtual collaborative community in education. An instrument consisting of six dimensions of collaborative community which contains 30 questionnaire items were used. The dimensions are, i) parenting, ii) communication, iii) volunteering, iv) learning at home, v) decision making (leadership), and vi) smart partnership. The survey data was collected from 246 respondents using a quantitative approach through questionnaires, which were later analyzed using the AMOS version 22 software. The finding shows that all six proposed functions for community involvement variables are significant. Finally, a model of virtual collaborative community to support national education agenda was successfully developed (CFI = 0.931: PCFI = 0.802; PNFI = 0.752; RMSEA = 0.064).
