Di Malaysia isu halal dan haram merupakan satu perkara sangat penting di dalam kehidupan harian yang mana mejoriti penduduk adalah beragama Islam. Salah satu isu halal dan haram yang perlu dititik beratkan adalah penyedian makanan. Pada masa sekarang, terdapat banyak makanan yang disediakan tanpa diketahui kandungan, sumber dan cara dihasilkan samada mengikut hukum syarak ataupun tidak. Di dalam projek ini, satu alat pengesan makanan halal boleh ubah akan dihasilkan bagi mengesan kadungan yang terdapat di dalam sesuatu makanan yang dijual. Alat ini berfungsi untuk mengesan kadungan bahan-bahan yang tidak halal di dalam sesuatu makanan itu. Contoh kandungan makanan yang tidak halal ialah makanan mengandungi campuran arak atau minyak babi. Di dalam projek ini terdapat tiga peringkat penyelidikan yang akan dijalankan. Pertama, rekabentuk produk, kedua, penyelidikan bahan makanan dan ketiga pengaturcaraan. Rekabentuk produk merujuk kepada ergonomik yang bersesuaian kepada pengguna. Akhir sekali pengaturcaraan pula akan menumpukan kepada pemprosesan data-data yang diperolehi dari kajian makanan bagi mengesan kandungan sesuatu makanan. Alat ini dihasilkan dengan saiz yang kecil bagi memudahkan pengguna menggunakannya

Misconceptious about Islamic Law remain, especially in the West, regarding the connection of the concept of Islamic State with human rights in general, and the rights of the non-muslims in particular. These misconceptions are due to a lack or absence of exposure of an Islamic theory of human rights, and the domination of the Western version of human rights in eduction, thoughts and its influence in the international media and forums. As a result, the West seems to be less appreciative of the non-Western values on human rights. This article attempts to remove some of these misunderstandings, and highlight some of the Islamic contributions, approaches and dimensions in the protection of human rights. Also, to show the universality of the Islamic theory , in dealing, not oly with the multi-religious and racial elements within the natural boundaries, but also with interntional relation in a plural world, especially in the process of establishing a new world order.

The aim of this article is to examine the polemic between Islamic Theologians regarding the speech of God, with special attention to al-Qadi 'Abd al-Jabbar's arguments.

Kajian ini bertujuan untuk melihat keberkesanan kaedah Iqra' sebagai kaedah pembelajaran membaca al-Qura.n di sekolah-sekolah di Malaysia. Kajian ini dilakukan ke atas 27 buah sekolah di beberapa buah negeri di bawah Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia dan 6 buah sekolah agama swasta.Walaupun kaedah ini telah be jalan selama Iebih 10 tahun di Malaysia dan sebahagian negara Asia Timur akan tetapi sehingga sekarang belum ada lagi kajian tentang keberkesanan kaedah ini terutama pelaksanaannya di sekolah-sekolah kebangsaan di Malaysia.Sepanjang pengarnatan melalui kajian lapangan yang dilakukan di sekolah-sekolah yang dilawati dan melalui temuramah-temuramah dan soal selidik yang diadakan dengan pihakpihak yang terbabit seperti penyelia, guru , pakar dan murid, telah menghasilkan beberapa keputusan. Kaedah ini pada umurnnya memberi kesan baik terhadap pencapaian pengajaran al-Quran di sekolah-sekolah kebangsaan. Ia tidak ada kecacatan yang memberi kesan buruk terhadap pembacaan murid akan tetapi terdapat beberapa perkara yang mana sekiranya dapat diatasi, nescaya akan lebih meningkatkan lagi kebaikannya dari 85 % ke 95%. Kaedah ini dikhususkan pembelajarannya pada bilangan murid di antara 10-1 5 orang murid sahaja atau paling maksimun 20 orang murid tetapi yang berlaku di sekolah-sekolah didapati murid melebihi bilangan yang sepatutnya sehingga 25-40 murid. Masalah ini diatasi dengan membahagikan pelajar kepada beberapa kumpulan yang dipimpin oleh seorang murid yang pandai di bawah pengawasan guru. Buku asal kaedah Iqra' adalah satu jilid yang dicetak di Indonesia yang digunakan juga di beberapa buah sekolah di Malaysia, tidak menggunakan Rasm Uthmani. Masalah ini diatasi dengan cetakan baru di Malaysia yang sepenuhnya menggunakan Rasm Uthman. Secara umumflya kaedah ini memang berkesan dan dapat mencapai objektif yang ditetapkan sekiranya mengikut arahan dan sukatan sebagaimana yang dikehendaki oleh kaedah ini.

Ethnography has, as its central principle, belief that the context in which a behaviour occurs has a significant impact on that behaviour. This study is based on a four-week ethnographic study of a discourse community - the first and second year students of Kolej Universiti Islam Malaysia. The study sought to understand and comprehend the need and usage of the English language by the discourse community. Non-participant observations, specialist informants, interviews, questionnaire and reviewing relevant documents were the tools employed for data gathering purposes. The findings indicate that the English language usage is dependent on the convention laid down by the university as well as by the discourse community. And finally, the study concludes with a discussion on the implications the findings have on producing and designing authentic teaching-learning material for the discourse community.

The Asian economic crisis, which occurred in 1997, hit the Malaysian and neighbouring countries economies badly. Thailand an d South Korea had to turn to IMF rehabilitation funds to ensure that they cou ld revive their economic growth.
