This study embarks from the great and huge responsibility of teachers nowadays especially the IRT (Islamic religious teachers). As the role model of students, they play an important task especially in producing the good Muslim character. Therefore, their job not only focuses on the content of subject but becomes wider in scope, more than other teachers in molding a human. For this, the mind faculty plays an important role. Many studies have proved that people's belief and how they perceive themselves can influence their personality and make them be a center of attention. The past research findings have shown that teachers need to have the PSC (positive self-concept) to help them become a successful role model and produce the great Muslim character in the future. Thus, this study seeks to look at the need of PSC in IRT as a role model. This study is a conceptual paper which is based on the analysis of document method. The paper will discuss the role of IRT, the PSC and the needs for teachers, and the influence of teachers' PSC on students' behaviour. Due to current scenario of social ills, the IRT responsibility of educating and molding the good character of Muslim students becomes much more challenging. Therefore, in order to make sure the vision is accomplished, IRT must build the PSC in themselves first.

The sign language is the main language used in the teaching and learning approach (PnP) of solat (prayer) for deaf people. However, there have been sign language confusions in terms of form and the true meaning of the term. This is because the signs are developed based on the custom and understanding of the deaf. Hence, this study evaluates new sign language developed to ensure the process (PnP) of solat (prayer) for the deaf can be carried out more effectively. This study utilises Cohen Kappa for analysis of the evaluation of five experts from the field of religion and six from the field of sign language. In addition, a qualitative approach through group interviews is also conducted to enrich the findings. Based on the findings of the study, this evaluation has achieved the Cohen Kappa Coefficient Index at 0.87 level, which is at an excellent scale level for the whole new sign language developed. In terms of implication, this evaluation can provide a sign language parallel to the religious meaning and understanding of the deaf in Malaysia in (PnP) solat.

The role of Islamic education teacher (IET) as society change agent (SCA) requires a strong internal motivation factor. It begins with confidence in self-ability i.e. self-efficacy (SE) in implementing the trust given to them. This study aims to assess the relationship between SE ITE in Malaysia with the role of SCA in society. This quantitative study has involved 1382 IETs in Malaysia. The sampling technique used was cluster sampling and based on random sample selection. The findings show that the SE level of ITE is at high level. But the role of IET as SCA is at less satisfactory level. Furthermore, SE has been identified to have a significant relationship with IET's role as SCA but was at weak level. The implication is, the study finds that the focus should be on restoring ITE's mindset about the community's work and developing the ummah, as well as the 21st century teaching and learning (T&L) skills. In fact, IET needs to be given practical exposure to engage in society through NGOs, surau, mosques, da'wah organization and government agencies.

Self- efficacy played a pivotal role towards on how one approaches goals, tasks, and challenges. Studies have shown that self-efficacy contributed to well-being, job satisfaction and individual development. However there are less studies that analyze the comparison between sources of enhancing selfefficacy from both western and Islamic perspective. Precisely, this paper will analyze the comparison of sources of enhancing self-efficacy from both perspectives. Qualitative method will be used for this study. Previous articles will be analyzed for this study. The outcome of this study will identify the similarities and the differences between these two perspectives. This study is significant for the researchers to develop a new comprehensive model that integrate the western and Islamic model of enhancing self-efficacy.

Islam is universal, Rabbani and perfect came to fill all areas of human life with its laws and teachings. All matters in the affairs of religion and the world are clearly explained either in a general or a detailed method. Islamic laws are higher than any rules and laws of human creation include criminal law. Islam views crime as an offence that should be punished because it violates the rights of God and human rights. Islam values ​​the glory of religion, life, intellect, property and dignity. Criminal offences in Islam need to examine properly. However, criminal offences are not specifically done by typical offenders but also against disabled offenders. Criminal jurisprudence prescribes appropriate punishment for offenders so that justice can be upheld without compromise. Although there is a lot of discussion in civil law regarding the criminal offenses of the disabled, it is given less attention in the discussion of Islamic law. Therefore, this article will analyse a book entitled Fiqh Jinayah of People with Disabilities. This book discusses the issue of crimes committed by the disabled person according to the Islamic perspective based on the actual situation in Malaysia followed by the history of the disabled in Islam. Hence, this book had discussed in detail the forms of criminal punishment and Islamic law against the disabled. This study aims to change the perspectives of some communities about this community. Therefore, it also can open the eyes of the community to how Islam is very kind and caring for the disabled community.
