Pengaruh dualisme dan sekularisme turut memberi kesan kepada sistem pendidikan negara hasil daripada pegangan epistemologi barat yang masih sukar digugat daripada minda dan kepercayaan masyarakat. Hasilnya, kesepaduan ilmu yang dianjurkan dalam Islam sudah semakin dilupakan dalam proses pengajaran dan pembelajaran di dalam kelas. Fokus pengajaran GPI kini lebih tertumpu kepada metode hafalan, syarahan, menyalin nota dan kurang menggalakkan proses berfikir dalam kalangan murid. GPI turut dikesan kurang kreatif dalam penyampaian silibus pengajian, tidak variasi dalam pengurusan kelas, dan kurang capaian ilmu daripada sumber yang pelbagai. Justeru, kertas kerja ini bertujuan untuk melihat tahap amalan pengajaran Guru Pendidikan Islam. Seramai 525 orang guru pendidikan Islam daripada seluruh Semenanjung Malaysia dipilih secara rawak sebagai responden kajian. Teknik pensampelan yang digunakan ialah multistage cluster sampling.Kajian ini merupakan kajian tinjauan menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif sebagai data utama. Manakala dapatan kualitatif digunakan untuk memperkayakan dapatan kajian Dapatan kajian menunjukkan tahap amalan pengajaran (M=4.17) GPI berada pada tahap tinggi. Kajian ini memberi implikasi kepada model pengajaran, IPG, penggubal dasar, sekolah dan guru Pendidikan Islam dalam hasrat meningkatkan kualiti pengajaran Pendidikan Islam di Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan.

Communication is a bridge in a relationship (Aisha & Irkhaniza, 2015). A good communication is highly needed in order to ensure that a message can be conveyed with clarity. In the education context, a good communication between a teacher and students will generally influence students’ understanding. Effective communication by teachers will result in students becoming more focused and more interested in what they are going to learn (Nurul Asiah Fasehah, 2015; Nik Rusila Nik Yaacob, 2007; Zalmiza Zakariya, 2004). In the realm of the educational context which involves many female students, the pattern of communication used by a teacher should take this factor into account (Nurhanani Husin 2015). Therefore, the purpose of the current study was to identify the communication approach that is suitable to female students especially in the context of explaining and clarifying by analysing the communication approach of Rasulullah SAW. with his companions as narrated in Hadiths in Sahih Bukhari. This study employed the qualitative approach using content analysis design. Nine hadiths that contain Rasulullah’s SAW. communication with 5 of his kibar companions were contextually analysed in order to extract the themes of communication of Rasulullah SAW. with his companions that are relevant to the current educational context. Several communication approaches that are used in explaining and clarifying had been identified such as direct explanation, providing an analogy in question form, telling in a story form, bringing the audience’s context closer to the story, conveying the intention, detailed explanation, step by step and in stages. This study has implications on classroom instruction particularly Muslim teachers in facing the higher number of female students in today’s classrooms composition using Rasulullah’s SAW. communication with his companions during his time. The use of such approach is suitable considering Rasulullah SAW. as an exemplary figure of all times. Keywords: Islamic education, Rasulullah SAW communication approach, communication with female students in teaching

Inclusive teachers find it difficult to handle children with learning disabilities in a normal classroom setting. This is because children with learning disabilities have distinctive learning difficulties, resulting in nearly total dependency on everyone. Therefore, this requires modification and adaptation in the learning activities to ensure effective learning. Consequently, inclusive teachers who do not possess the right worldview about children with learning disabilities and the reality of man in general will affect how they interact with these children or students. Thus, the objective of this research is to develop elements for an emancipation model for inclusive teachers to unlearn and relearn the new perspective of man based on the true worldview derived from hadith in Kitab Riyadhus Solihin (the Book of Riyadhus Solihin). This research used the method of design and a developmental research approach comprising three phases. In this study, the researchers focused on the second phase of Fuzzy Delphi. There were 12 panel experts involved in ranking the elements of the emancipation model for inclusive teachers. Findings showed that all the elements, which are: (1) Reality of Man; (2) The presence of children with learning disabilities signifies the perfection of Allah’s creation; (3) Absolute and temporary ownership; (4) Educational goals; and (5) Inclusive Teacher’s Role, were above 70% that were considered suitable and applicable. Notably, these particular aspects have not yet been the focus of other researchers. It is hoped that this model will help inclusive teachers undertake effective education programs.

In comparison to parents of typically developing children, parents of children with special needs are subject to elevated levels of stress. Without systematic and thorough support and aid from the government or charity groups, it is extremely challenging for these parents to give the finest care and nurture for their exceptional children. On the basis of the current module, it was determined that there is a deficit in the area of emotional regulation for parents of disabled children. For the establishment of a prosperous family, this paper will stress the initial debate regarding the emotional regulation of parents of disadvantaged children based on the Sunnah of the Prophet. Correct emotional regulation is essential for ensuring that parents can manage their emotions in order to prevent incorrect acts while raising children with special needs. This is due to the fact that the majority of incidents of neglect and abuse of children with disabilities are caused by a lack of parental emotional management skills. This article seeks to achieve an amount of objectives, namely: 1. issues and challenges of families with impaired children, 2. emotional regulation and its significance in managing challenged children, and 3. emotional regulation solutions for parenting disabled children in accordance with Islam. This work is based on library research using journal articles that highlight the most recent concerns and challenges experienced by parents with disabled children. In addition, references are made to literature on emotional regulation and its significance. The verses of the Quran and the hadith of the Prophet SAW were also studied in order to acquire Islamic instruction for the most effective emotional regulation, particularly in relation to the emotional strain felt by the worried parents. This article is seen crucial in offering parents with information and skills on emotional regulation tactics for parenting children with special needs. Not only can it assist parents in controlling their emotions to foster a healthy family environment, but it may also organize advocacy efforts over time towards the formation of an inclusive community.

Purpose: Services for Persons with Disabilities (PWD) not only involve physical needs, but educational services, particularly in the area of religious education. This includes the study of the Quran and fardhu ain, which are crucial for PWD who practice Islam. However, special needs and specific methods must be considered to ensure that Islamic education can be effectively conveyed, whether by individuals or volunteer organizations. Since outreach efforts for PWD require a lot of manpower and specific skills, this study takes the approach that there is a need for youth volunteers who can provide services to PWD. While there are various types of volunteer organizations available, there are not many that focus on outreach efforts for PWD in Malaysia. This has led to a lack of understanding and appreciation of Islam among the PWD community. Therefore, the objective of this study is to foster sustainable services for the PWD community through youth volunteers by analyzing the key characteristics of volunteers using Fuzzy Delphi. Design/methodology/approach: This study uses a design method and a developmental research approach that has three phases. In this study, the researchers focused on the second phase of Fuzzy Delphi. 13 experts were involved in this study to rank the elements in developing a model for volunteer outreach efforts for PWD. Findings: The findings showed that all elements such as thinking, attitude, and skills, exceeded 70%, which is considered suitable, applicable and a must to the volunteers for PWD. Research limitations/implications: This research involves volunteers among typical person who service PWD. For future, it hopes research might be conducted among PWD who involve in volunteering service. Practical implications: These finding can be a reference to any development of training module for volunteers service especially which focusing on PWD. It is hoped that this findings could be as a guide for youth volunteers in teaching religious education for the PWD community. Originality/value: The extraction of all the elements for the characteristic’s dimension of volunteers solely taken from the participants’ view and experience.

Pengaruh dualisme dan sekularisme turut memberi kesan kepada sistem pendidikan negara hasil daripada pegangan epistemologi barat yang masih sukar digugat daripada minda dan kepercayaan masyarakat. Hasilnya, kesepaduan ilmu yang dianjurkan dalam Islam sudah semakin dilupakan dalam proses pengajaran dan pembelajaran di dalam kelas. Fokus pengajaran GPI kini lebih tertumpu kepada metode hafalan, syarahan, menyalin nota dan kurang menggalakkan proses berfikir dalam kalangan murid. GPI turut dikesan kurang kreatif dalam penyampaian silibus pengajian, tidak variasi dalam pengurusan kelas, dan kurang capaian ilmu daripada sumber yang pelbagai. Justeru, bagi mengembalikan semula ruh pendidikan dan menyampaikan makna ilmu yang sebenar, epistemologi Islam perlu diangkat semula sebagai pegangan dan kepercayaan dalam diri guru. Ini kerana kepercayaan epistemologi ilmu ini dipercayai mempunyai kaitan dengan tingkah laku seseorang termasuklah amalan pengajaran. Justeru, kertas kerja ini bertujuan untuk melihat tahap kepercayaan epistemologi GPI dan tahap amalan pengajaran mereka kemudian menganalisis keterkaitan antara kedua-dua variabel ini. Seramai 525 orang guru pendidikan Islam daripada seluruh Semenanjung Malaysia dipilih secara rawak sebagai responden kajian. Teknik pensampelan yang digunakan ialah multistage cluster sampling. Kajian ini merupakan kajian tinjauan menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan tahap kepercayaan epistemologi Islam (M=4.26) dan amalan pengajaran (M=4.17) GPI berada pada tahap tinggi. Manakala ujian korelasi Pearson menunjukkan hubungan yang signifikan antara kepercayaan epistemologi Islam dengan amalan pengajaran dengan kekuatan sederhana (r=0.405). Kajian ini memberi implikasi kepada model pengajaran, IPG, penggubal dasar, sekolah dan guru Pendidikan Islam dalam hasrat meningkatkan kualiti pengajaran Pendidikan Islam di Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan.

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.

Bahasa isyarat merupakan bahasa visual yang digunakan sebagai medium komunikasi bagi OKU Pekak. Penggunaan bahasa isyarat memudahkan komunikasi dan memberi peluang kepada mereka untuk meluahkan rasa, pendapat, idea, perasaan dan sebagainya. Di Malaysia, Bahasa Isyarat Malaysia (BIM) merupakan bahasa ibunda bagi OKU Pekak yang telah diangkat sebagai bahasa rasmi dalam Akta OKU 2008. Bagaimanapun, perkembangan inovasi bagi OKU Pekak untuk memahami terminologi agama Islam jauh berbeza dengan inovasi terminologi agama Islam yang sedia ada. Meskipun demikian, pelbagai inovasi yang dijalankan bagi memberi peluang OKU Pekak untuk memahami terminologi agama. Justeru, artikel ini bertujuan menerangkan inovasi yang dibangunkan oleh pelbagai pihak termasuk pihak sekolah, badan persatuan bukan kerajaan, institusi pengajian dan institusi agama dalam menerangkan terminologi agama Islam kepada OKU Pekak dari 1998 sehingga 2022. Kajian ini dijalankan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif melalui analisis dokumen terhadap cetakan buku isyarat dan aplikasi isyarat yang telah dibangunkan. Dapatan menunjukkan pelbagai inovasi yang dilakukan dalam membangunkan bahan bantu mengajar bagi mengisi kelompangan OKU Pekak untuk memahami terminologi agama. Perubahan inovasi boleh dilihat dari segi bentuk cetakan buku kepada bentuk mudah alih dengan berbantukan aplikasi. Diharapkan inovasi sebegini boleh dikembangkan kepada kepelbagaian bidang dalam agama Islam untuk memberi ruang dan peluang kepada OKU Pekak untuk mempelajari agama.

Dakwah Islam termasuklah pendidikan al-Quran tidak dapat dinafikan kepentingan dan peranannya dalam pembangunan ummah. Justeru itu, dakwah Islam perlu diberi perhatian dan fokus yang sewajarnya dalam perkembangan pendidikan anak-anak bagi memastikan ia mampu memberi impak yang terbaik dalam proses pembinaan ummah. Dakwah Islam yang sebenar perlu disediakan kepada setiap lapisan masyarakat tidak terkecuali kepada golongan orang kelainan upaya (OKU) pelbagai jenis kategori. Golongan ini berhak mendapat nikmat Islam kerana Islam tidak hanya terkhusus kepada individu sempurna pancaindera sahaja. Namun demikian, keperluan khusus serta kaedah tertentu perlu diambil kira sewajarnya oleh para pendakwah agar dakwah Islam dapat disampaikan dengan baik dan berkesan. Oleh itu, objektif utama kajian ini ialah menganalisis isu dan cabaran dakwah kepada komuniti OKU. Metode kajian ini ialah kajian kualitatif yang menggunapakai reka bentuk analisis kandungan berpandukan tinjauan literatur sistematik sebagai landasan. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa terdapat beberapa isu dan cabaran dakwah kepada golongan OKU yang perlu dihadapi oleh para pendakwah dan pihak yang terlibat dengan komuniti OKU. Oleh yang demikian, diharap kajian ini berupaya menimbulkan kesedaran dan membuka mata semua pihak dalam usaha meningkatkan pemahaman dan amalan beragama komuniti OKU.

Memorizing is a way of preserving the sanctity and purity of the holy verses of the Quran. Based on observations, in Malaysia especially many people who memorize the Quran consist of a typical community, even there is no specific method for the disabled community especially the deaf community for memorizing Quran. Hence, this article aims to study the effectiveness of Tahfiz Akhyar method in order to increase the level of Quran memorization for deaf youths through the Deaf Youth Huffaz Camp which lasted for 5 days 4 nights at Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM) and involving 19 deaf youths as a study participant. This study uses a mixed approach through observation method and final test as instrument tool. The findings of the study show that the Tahfiz Akhyar method can help improve the memorization level of some of the common surah. The achievements of the study participants varied according to their tendency, ability and level of hearing. The implication is that the Deaf Youth Huffaz Camp will continue in the future with the support of various parties.

Malaysia digemparkan dengan ujian Pandemik Covid 19 pada tahun 2020. Pelbagai usaha dilakukan oleh pihak berwajib agar keadaan pandemik yang memberikan kesan yang ketara kepada masyarakat keseluruhannya dapat di kawal dengan baik. Walau bagaimanapun, setiap usaha itu haruslah bermula dengan diri yang berada dalam sesebuah masyarakat itu. Malah usaha yang dijalankan di peringkat individu masyarakat ini diangkat oleh Allah SWT dalam Quran sebagai usaha yang akan membawa kepada perubahan (surah Ar Ra’du:13). Justeru, kajian ini ingat meneliti konsep hamba pada diri manusia yang menurut Badiuzzaman Said Nursi merupakan kunci untuk menarik rahmat Allah SWT kepada seseorang dan aplikasinya dalam mendepani ujian pandemik ini. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif melalui reka bentuk kajian dokumen analisis. Sampel utama adalah Kilauan Pertama, surat ketiga puluh satu buku Risalah An-Nur karya Badiuzzaman Said Nursi. Dapatan kajian mendapati, konsep hamba yang dijelaskan melalui risalah ini adalah hamba Allah yang benar-benar merasai kelemahan dan kefaqiran diri lalu menyerahkan pergantungan mutlak kepada Allah taala, melalui pergantungan itu dia melazimi Quran untuk mengetahui apa yang harus dilakukan dan menerima takdirnya yang sedang dihadapi. Kajian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan gambaran praktikal kepada setiap individu yang sedang berhadapan dengan ujian pandemik ini dengan perspektif yang benar menerusi kaca mata Quran.

This study aims to analyse the self-concept of Muslim women from the perspective of Badiuzzaman Said Nursi. This study uses a qualitative approach through document analysis. The main sample of the study is the Risalah Pedoman Para Wanita by Badiuzzaman Said Nursi. The results of this study showcase four important characteristics outlined by Said Nursi in giving the concept of women, namely: (1) Having syafaqah (2) The most effective teacher (3) Being afraid of the views of Ajnabi men, and (4) Source of good akhlak. The impact of this study is generally for Muslim women and researchers involved with the Muslim women’s community.

A person’s understanding of self is significantly associated with the world view that he or she believes in. This self-understanding concept shall only be well established if it is viewed from the perspective that is connected to real epistemology. The importance of this understanding is due to its influence on human perception in all matters related to themselves. As a Muslim with an ultimate goal, which is the happiness of the world and the hereafter, then the real conceptualisation of oneself is essential. However, the influence of secularism and dualism that exist in the education stream is disconcerting in this regard. Therefore, the concept of self in Islam shall be examined and re-assessed. To evaluate the self-concept of a Muslim, the concept and instrument used must be based on the Islamic philosophy and realm. However, the variety of instruments used to evaluate the existing self-concept are in accordance with the Western epistemology, which contradicts the Islamic world view to describe the self-concept of a Muslim. Thus, this study aims to propose an ideal self-concept evaluation model for studies involving Muslims. In conclusion, there are limited studies carried out and leave a decent impact to researchers, especially in the field of Education and Psychology and Humanities.

Tadarus is a group Quran recitation activity that is usually carried out during the month of Ramadan. Although Ramadan is this time during the pandemic season, this activity is still actively being continued online. This situation is no exception for the deaf community. Taking inspiration to provide opportunities and space for them to participate with the Quran, using methods that celebrate their strength and learning disabilities, an online tadarus program called Online Tadarus Suara (Online TTS) was conducted using google meets platform. Therefore, this study aims to explore the challenges faced by the deaf community in the programme. The methodology used is the analysis of documents by analyzing the current reports of each facilitator on a daily basis and the feedback provided through the Google Form forms provided. In addition, researchers also perform observations to every TTS Online class recording on a daily basis. The findings showed that participants were able to participate in the TTS Online session well despite several challenges that could be categorised into two parts, namely internal and external challenges such as weaknesses in mastering Quran Hand Code, time and internet network access. However, it is hoped that this Quranic service will bring deaf people closer to the miracle of the Quran by celebrating the learning disability of this community based on visual strength.

The development of Islamic applications has greatly helped in the learning process, especially in the study of hadith. The process of identifying the status of hadith becomes easier, but it requires proper discipline. However,beginner users still struggle to use the applications, as there is no guidance on how to use them. Therefore, this study aims to demonstrate the basic methods for identifying the status of hadith by exploring the Encyclopedia of the 9 Imams application. The methodology used is a qualitative approach to collecting hadith data provided in the application. As a result, this article will introduce five basic guidelines for identifying the status of hadith using technological tools. Firstly, identify the sources of hadith references. Secondly, identify the search for hadith. Thirdly, determine the keywords of the hadith. Fourthly, analyze the hadith from the perspective of its content and chain of narration (sanad). Lastly, seek confirmation from experts regarding whether the discovered status of the hadith is accepted or not. All of these guidelines serve as a foundation for beginners in the study of hadith.
