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.

The inimitability of the Quran has been regarded by Muslim as a vindication of the prophethood of Muhammad. The conventions of its miraculous nature are divided into few dimensions including scientific miracle, mathematical, legal, revealing the Ghaybiyyat (unseen world) and acoustical elements. While each elements has its general emblem and characteristic, acoustic miracle of the Quran has its own insignia. It was known with different terminology, such as phonology of the Quran, phonetic miracle and rhythm of al-Quran. Exploring the acoustical nature of the Quran, scholars of the 21st century have advancing various methods and researches in analysing its miraculous nature. Thus, the present study aims to analyse studies conducted on the acoustical elements in the Quran from 2000 to 2015. The researcher, in this study, employed Systematic Literature Review (SLR) as its main methodological tool with the adaptation of PRISMA technique. The result shows that there are three major patterns in the study of acoustical element of the Quran, which could be concluded as: (1) the study on phonetic element in the Quran that was embedded in its pronunciation, specific phonic characteristic and structural wording, (2) analysis on the organisation, repetition and rhyme at the end of verses and (3) the exploration on interrelation between the meaning of the Quran and its phonetic element. Indeed, this study is a prolegomenon in which would clear the path for further exploration in interdisciplinary or interdisciplinary studies.

Pengajaran dan pemudahcaraan (PdPc) ialah satu proses menyampai dan menerima ilmu dengan melibatkan guru dan pelajar yang saling berkait rapat antara satu sama lainnya. Di Malaysia, Kementerian Pelajaran Malaysia telah memperkenalkan Kelas Kemahiran al-Quran (KKQ) di sekolah menengah bertujuan untuk menghasilkan pelajar yang celik, memahami seterusnya membudayakan al-Quran dalam kehidupan seharian. Namun begitu, matlamat ini tidak akan tercapai sekiranya elemen-elemen kemahiran Insaniah diabaikan dalam pendekatan tersebut. Ianya merupakan salah satu objektif negara ke arah melahirkan seorang pelajar muslim yang seimbang dan holistik untuk melaksanakan tanggungjawab sebagai penjana sumber manusia atau modal insan yang bukan sahaja mantap dengan pengetahuan al-Quran, bahkan memiliki ciri-ciri insan kamil. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengamati penerapan elemen-elemen kemahiran Insaniah dalam kursus Tarannum Kelas Kemahiran al-Quran (KKQ) yang telah diperkenalkan pihak kementerian dalam kurikulum Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Agama (SMKA) dan Kelas Aliran Agama (KAA) seluruh negara berdasarkan konsep penilaian CIPP . Kajian ini berbentuk kualitatif dan melibatkan analisis dokumen, temu bual mendalam separa berstruktur, temu bual mendalam kelompok sasaran dan pemerhatian sebagai kaedah pengumpulan data dan maklumat kajian.

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).

Digital technologies, such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops, are increasingly utilized for accessing and studying Hadith texts, raising concerns about the reliability and legitimacy of information. Even among students of Islamic Studies, the Internet's utility for accessing significant Hadith information is undeniable. Everyone has been using the Internet to find various types of information. However, the issue of the quality of information available on the Internet is evident. The spread of false Hadith or falsified news is a significant concern in the context of digital technology and Hadith learning. Some Hadith material has been disseminated on the Internet without discernment or balance. The accuracy and validity of Hadith-related information on the internet cannot be guaranteed. This research project aims to bridge a gap in Islamic education by integrating digital technology into Hadith learning among students at the University Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM). The study will provide empirical insights into the efficiency of digital tools and investigate accessibility and inclusivity elements of digital resources. Using a case study approach with quantitative data techniques, a survey was conducted among final-year students in the Faculty of Quranic and Sunnah Studies Year 4, who are enrolled in three programs: Quran and Sunnah Studies (QS), Quran and Multimedia (QM), and Sunnah with Information Management Studies (SPM). The aim is to understand their perceptions of the effectiveness of digital technology in enhancing their understanding and engagement with Hadith. The findings revealed that practically all the participants had used the Internet for learning Hadith.
