From the perspective of ancient medical practice, pomegranate is in a highest ranking of healthy fruits because of its diverse beneficial in curing diseases. Trend research publications pomegranates were studied. The study focused on content analysis, especially in the field of primary research on pomegranate. Referring to the results of 'literature review' on pomegranate, researchers found that the majority of previous research on pomegranate dominated by journal articles by 85.5 percent. Research on the method of analysis conducted in the previous studies found that most studies on pomegranate done on a scientific analysis (laboratory studies). Studies on aspects of science has been divided into seven areas. Focus areas include scientific discussion of pomegranate is pharmaceutical, Food Science, Botany, Bio-Medical, Bio-Chemistry and Microbiology. Only one field of study that focuses on the analysis of Islamic view focusing on Islamic Education. Additional fields of Environmental Education (Flora) are also included by researchers to collect data and find a results on plants that contain pomegranate. Comparative evaluation of research found that a total of 188 kinds of studies involves the study of the scientific aspects compared to only 11 studies based on Islam (Islamic Education) and 10 studies based on environmental education. Thus, the efforts of researchers from Universiti Malaya through grants TRGS (TR001A-2014) entitled 'Safe and Health Uses of Fruits and Herbs Mentioned in Al-Quran and Ahadith: An Analysis of ethnomedicinal Importance in Islamic Products in Malaysia' are very significant in the development of science. Advanced new study of henna is expected to produce benefits to Malaysia as a whole.

Taghyir khalqillah (alteration of Allah’s creation) is one of the ways Satan misleads people. This was revealed by Allah subhanahu wa ta‘ala in the Qur’an, Surah al-Nisa’, verse 119. The act of taghyir khalqillah is explicitly prohibited but the interpretation of Muslim jurist on its message vary. Therefore, this article will discuss the meaning of taghyir khalqillah in the twelve mufassirin perspectives, carefully chosen from a variety of backgrounds. The study employs qualitative research design in achieving its objectives. There are twenty-six jurists from salaf and khalaf who attempted to interpret the meaning of taghyir khalqillah in a total of fourteen interpretations. The concept of taghyir khalqillah is divided into five principles, namely (i) physical and metaphysical alteration, (ii) temporary and permanent alteration, (iii) purpose of the alteration was made, (iv) maslahah of alteration and (v) results of the physical alteration.

Islamic revelation as the main reference in the exploration of knowledge has created scientific methods and thoughts based on tawḥīd. This can be seen through scientific discoveries by the legacy of Islamic scholars such as Jabir Ibn Hayyan, al-Khawarizmi, al-Bīrūnī, Ibn Sina, Ibn Qayyim, and many others who integrated the revelation and scientific knowledge to solve the problems faced by mankind. The objectives of this paper are to elaborate the benefits, preconditions and needs of the integration of turath and scientific knowledge as a contemporary da’wah initiative. In other words, scientific knowledge is made as a Manhaj Rabbani in the transformation of da’wah based on tawḥīd. The qualitative method is applied to collect information through the analysis of books, journals, and academic publications. The results of the findings show that the integration of turath and scientific knowledge in multidisciplinary research is very beneficial and serves as the contemporary da’wah medium. At the same time, it also gives confidence to the preacher to speak in multidisciplinary subject matters.

Nama melambangkan identiti sesuatu benda. Dalam industri makanan, hal ini sangat berkait rapat dengan pengaruh komersial bagi satu-satu produk. Berikutan itu, pemilihan nama produk penting bagi tujuan penjenamaan dan pemasaran. Walau bagaimanapun, terdapatpihak yang menggandingkan unsur-unsur haram dan halal dalam pemilihan nama produk seperti Hotdog, Beerdan sebagainya. Penggabungan nama seperti ini bagi produk halal menjadi pertikaian dalam kalangan ulama dan pengguna kerana mendatangkan kekeliruan terhadap status halalnya. Sehubungan dengan itu, kajian ini membahas status penamaan sesuatu produk halal yang digandingkan dengan nama yang mempunyai unsur haram dari perspektif kerangka nas al-Quran dan hadis, perundangan halal negara dan hukum Islam. Kajian kepustakaan dan analisis dokumen digunakan untuk mendapatkan maklumat kajian. Hasil kajian mendapati konsep halal yang ditakrifkan di bawahkerangka perundangan halal negara sangat terhad dan hanya terpakai kepada kandungan makanan, barangan atau perkhidmatan sahaja. Malahan terdapat juga kelompongan terhadap kuasa agensi yang berkaitan dalam memastikan penggunaan nama yang bersesuaian yang selari dengan prinsip syariah dalam menjamin pematuhan konsep halalan tayyibansecara kolektif bagi satu-satu produk halal

One of the credible inventions is 3D Bioprinting or organ printing which uses layer by layer fabrication manner and is an emerging and developing technology offered by the research industry and can help the humanity in certain areas of life e.g., health, food, etc. The technology has been found beneficial in wide spectrum within the medical industry in fighting the shortage of organ and tissues donations. It is also helpful for the pharmaceuticals for determining effectiveness of new drugs and the food industry players to develop new type of edible meat for humans’ consumption. However, behind all these benefits, there are unresolved issues that need be discussed critically and addressed properly within the ethics, law and orders of Islamic worldview. This study aims to indentify the Sharī‘ah related issues raised consequent upon the invention of 3D bioprinting. The study uses data collection from scholars’ writings, academic journals, and Islamic fatwa related to bioethics. The data are analysed thematically. The results show that there is a loophole in bioethics research on Sharī‘ah compliant guidelines for the Muslims users with regards to bioprinting usage. It is suggested for the experts to do thorough research on Sharī‘ah compliant guidelines of bioprinting to be the benchmark guideline for authorities such as JAKIM in Malaysia and other authorities such as the Ministry of Health in treating the Muslim patients.

Tarekat tasawuf has been established in Negeri Sembilan since 1900 and began to strengthen its existence in spiritual activities such as the implementation of zikr tarekat tasawuf activities among the local community. This article will highlight the impact of implementing the zikr activities tarekat tasawuf, which is implemented periodically on the spiritual strengthening of the community in Negeri Sembilan. A qualitative approach is used involving library studies, review of relevant documents, and interviews with the Registrar of Tarekat, Tasawuf Division of the Negeri Sembilan Mufti Department, and the Syeikh of the tarekat involved. Basically, there are 13 Sufi practice centers around Negeri Sembilan that conduct regular zikr activities that impact the community. The existence of tarekat practice centers in Negeri Sembilan has been plotted to see the distribution and centralization of tarekat centers. In addition, the form of zikr practiced in the zikr ceremony is also explained through a simple framework built. The results also showed that the Seremban district is the highest area with a tarekat practice center. Indirectly, the zikr activities, tarekat tasawuf, have provided space for the local community to engage in more systematic spiritual activities. The efforts implemented by the Sufi tarekat practice center in Negeri Sembilan are expected to be used as an example by other states in Malaysia so that the community is more interested in the Sufi tarekat zikr ceremony.
