Publication The quranic philosophy on superiority of audio sense against visual sense based on the book of exegesis and science reports(American Scientific Publishers, 2017) ;Sempo M.W. ;Salam R.A. ;Mohd R.A. ;Zainudin W.N.R.A.B. ;Zainol Z.B. ;Zaki Z.B.M. ;Ibrahim M.A.B. ;Sayuti M.N.S.M. ;Islamic Science Institute ;Faculty of Engineering and Built Environment ;Faculty of Science and Technology ;Faculty of Quran and Sunnah Studies ;Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM)Univesiti Sains Malaysia (USM)The Holy Quran being the most comprehensive book of reference has discussed on every minute details of human anatomy. One of them is human senses and can be categorized by external parts and internal parts. For example external parts such as ears are used to sense audio, eyes are used to sense visual, and nose is used to sense smell. While for internal parts, emotion is used to sense feelings such as happiness and sadness. Although all of the senses that comes from the external and internal parts are important in human�s well-being, the Holy Quran has placed different emphasizes on all of these senses. This is because some of the senses are quoted more often than others. Using data extraction technology, this study finds that ears and eyes are quoted most often although ears seem to be more superior. Therefore, it is the purpose of this paper to investigate the reason why ears are quoted more often than eyes in the Holy Quran. In addressing this question, this paper applies two methods. Firstly, all verses related to sound and sight senses are gathered. Then the superiority between them are measured based on the book of exegesis (tafsir) and scientific reports. 2017 American Scientific Publishers All rights reserved. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Said Nursi's Thoughts on Environmental Sustainability in Risale-I Nur(University of Malaya, 2020) ;Sempo M.W.Khosim N.This study addresses the standpoint of Bediuzzaman Said Nursi about the importance of holistic Islamic view towards living sustainably. Nowadays, human beings are less aware of the environmental destruction that increasingly causing harm to all. The problem arises from people’s abandonment in manifesting the infinite meaning of Allah’s attributes (al-Asma’ al-Husna) in daily practice. In fact, Allah the Most Merciful has fulfilled all the needs of His creatures to the very least. However, we do not take into account the importance of implementing the meaning of al-Asma’ al-Husna to make any progress in all aspects of life. Therefore, Said Nursi was a leading Muslim scholar of the 20th century who strived to give greater understanding and explanation to the importance of manifestation of the God’s Divine Name for the people towards creating awareness of environmental sustainability. This article focuses on the values and ethics related to environmental sustainability from the Bediuzzaman Said Nursi’s perspective in Risale-i Nur. Therefore, the researchers have read the Risale-i Nur inductively to capture Said Nursi’s thought on environmental sustainability. In conclusion, the results of the study found that a good understanding towards (i) the purpose of Allah's creation, (ii) the meaning of al-Asma’ al-Husna and its manifestation, (iii) and the importance of ethics or behaviour towards creatures, can help maintain environmental sustainability and survival of biodiversity. © 2020, University of Malaya.
