The experts of the Islamic law methodology (Ushuliyyin) have inherited the ta'wil method; a method of discovering the esoteric meaning in the textual disclosure.  The application of ta'wil method must be exactly based on predetermined rules of play. The mistake of understanding a method will have negative impact toward the law product. This phenomena was worried about by the ushuliyyin very much. This research is a library study with content analysis method. This study concludes that ta'wil according to ushuliyyin that is, the abrogation of a pronouncement of the meaning of zhahir to another meaning which is not quickly captured, because there is a proposition that the meaning is meant by the pronouncement. Evidence of ta'wil in the form of nash, qiyas, luhgawiyyah, 'aqliyyah, and' adad ('urf), and the argument disputed is the wisdom of al-tasyri' (maqashid al-syari'ah) which is practiced only by ulama ushul al-Hanafiyyah. Ta'wil covers the furu' problems. Ushuliyyin finds some form of ta'wil, among which specializes in general pronouncing (takhshish al-'am), limiting the mutlaq (taqyyid al-mutlaq), transfer the utterance from the essential meaning to the majazi, or from the obligatory meaning of the sunnah. Generally the ta'wil method is still considered relevant to the renewal of Islamic law.

Not much attention has been given to Islamic films produced in Malaysia. However, the role to spread dakwah through media is an obligation. In the effort to vary the medium of da’wah, a film is seen as an influential way that can be explored as film can be an interesting tool/medium to spread da’wah, rather than through the conventional preaching, books, magazine and others. To understand the role of film in spreading the da’wah, the researchers reviewed two different films produced which are; Bisik Pada Langit (2017) and Adiwiraku (2017). For the analysis purpose, a set of coding sheet is created to record the film plot. The storyline of each film was analysed quantitatively using content analysis method to determine the frequencies of Islamic values emerged in these films. As a result, this article introduces themes that can visualise the Islamic values as appeared in non-Islamic films. These themes can illustrate how the Islamic values have been portrayed in those films which eventually deliver a positive message to the society especially on Islamic teachings. Through this discovery, it proves that non-Islamic film has played a role as medium to enlighten Islamic images and teachings for the benefit of society. Most importantly, the correlation between non-Islamic films with Islamic teachings has been proven through these selected films.

Abstract. This study aims to test the hypothesis that, as a public broadcasting institution that serves the public interest, non-commercial, and the majority of audiences are Muslim, the principle of qaulan sadidan has been widely adopted in TVRI news. Islam has provided a grand-theory for the study of communication and journalistic, namely qaulan sadidan. This principle was later recognized in the Western academic world as factuality, which is part of the news objectivity. By using the content analysis method on 146 news items from September 23, 2018 to March 29, 2019, this study found that the principle of qaulan sadidan has dominated the TVRI news although there are still news that do not yet contain elements of factuality. Many TVRI news articles are written containing 5W and 1H. This study also used interviews with senior journalist to confirm the data from the content analysis. The interviews found that management had not periodically socialized the relevance of Islamic values to journalistic practices, the element of the "when" was often not delivered in the news because of the editorial oversupply of news, not because of the lack of understanding on journalistic theory. This study offers some propositions that TVRI news includes factual and non-factual news, although it is dominated by factual news, experience as a journalist helps the adoption of qaulan sadidan values, and the completeness of the news is also determined by the news availability. This research is expected to contribute to the development of communication studies in an Islamic perspective.Abstrak. Penelitian ini bertujuan menguji hipotesis bahwa sebagai lembaga penyiaran public yang melayani kepentingan public, bersifat tidak komersial, dan mayoritas audience beragama Islam maka prinsip qaulan sadidan telah banyak diadopsi dalam berita TVRI. Islam telah memberikan grand-theory bagi kajian ilmu komunikasi dan jurnalistik, yakni qaulan sadidan. Prinsip ini yang kemudian dikenal di dunia akademik Barat sebagai faktualitas, yang merupakan bagian objektivitas berita. Dengan menggunakan metode analisis isi terhadap  146 berita selama 23 September 2018 hingga 29 Maret 2019, penelitian ini menemukan bahwa prinsip qaulan sadidan telah mendominasi berita TVRI meski masih terdapat berita yang belum mengandung unsur faktualitas. Berita TVRI juga banyak yang ditulis dengan mengandung 5H dan 1H. Penelitian ini juga menggunakan wawancara terhadap jurnalis senior untuk melakukan konfirmasi data hasil analisis isi. Hasil wawancara menemukan bahwa manajemen belum secara berkala mensosialisasikan keterkaitan nilai-nilai Islam dan praktek jurnalistik, unsur berita “when” sering tidak disampaikan dalam berita karena redaksi kelebihan persediaan berita, bukan karena ketidakpahaman jurnalis pada teori jurnalistik. Pada akhirnya, penelitian ini menawarkan proposisi bahwa berita TVRI mencakup berita yang factual dan yang tidak factual, meskipun didominasi berita yang factual; pengalaman sebagai jurnalis membantu adopsi nilai-nilai qaulan sadidan; dan kelengkapan berita juga ditentukan banyak tidaknya ketersediaan berita di ruang redaksi. Penelitian ini diharapkan berkontribusi untuk pengembangan kajian komunikasi dalam perspektif Islam.

The weaknesses of the enforcement and execution of a court order always become the reason for noncompliance with court orders issued by the Syariah Court. In other words, the effectiveness of enforcement mechanisms enhances compliance with orders issued by the Syariah Court. Many looked at the weaknesses of enforcement as the weaknesses of the Syariah court as the agency for implementing justice and thus undermining the position of the Islamic law. However, very little attention has been given in the literature as regards what constitutes the mechanism of enforcement and execution of a maintenance order in the Syariah Court. Hence, the purpose of this article is to examine the mechanism used pertaining to non-compliance maintenance orders. The content analysis approach was used as it is appropriate to identify the mechanism used by the selected Syariah courts in settling the enforcement and execution cases. Through the content analysis method, the background of the cases as well as the approach of the court players were identified, respectively. The data from the study then were presented in descriptive form to explain the frequency and the percentage of variables studied. The study suggests that the process of giving judgment relating to maintenance should be improved. In addition, the assimilisation between non-legal and legal processes should be well organised to ensure the effectiveness of the enforcement and execution processes. The weaknesses found should be addressed in future studies to identify the best method for better implementation. ABSTRAKKelemahan-kelemahan di dalam penguatkuasaan dan pelaksanaan sesuatu perintah mahkamah sentiasa menjadi penyebab kepada ketidakpatuhan terhadap perintah-perintah mahkamah yang dikeluarkan oleh Mahkamah Syariah. Dalam ertikata lain, keberkesanan mekanisma penguatkuasaan meningkatkan pematuhan terhadap perintah yang dikeluarkan oleh Mahkamah Syariah. Kelemahan penguatkuasaan dilihat sebagai kelemahan Mahkamah Syariah itu sendiri sebagai sebuah agensi untuk melaksanakan keadilan yang mana turut memberi kesan kepada undang-undang Islam. Walaubagaimanapun, tidak banyak literatur yang membincangkan mengenai apa yang dikatakan sebagai mekanisma penguatkuasaan dan pelaksanaan perintah berkaitan nafkah di Mahkamah Syariah. Oleh itu, artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji mekanisma yang digunakan sekiranya berlaku ketidakpatuhan terhadap perintah-perintah berkaitan nafkah. Pendekatan analisis kandungan digunakan kerana ianya sesuai bagi mengenalpasti mekanisma yang digunakan oleh Mahkamah-mahkamah Syariah terpilih dalam menyelesaikan kes-kes berkaitan penguatkuasaan dan pelaksanaan. Melalui metode ini, latarbelakang kes dan juga pendekatan pegawai-pegawai mahkamah dikenalpasti. Data yang diperolehi daripada kajian kemudiannya dibentangkan dalam bentuk deskriptif bagi menjelaskan frekuensi dan peratusan varians yang dikaji. Kajian mencadangkan bahawa proses bagaimana sesuatu perintah berkaitan dengan nafkah itu dikeluarkan hendaklah dipertingkatkan. Seterusnya, asimilasi di antara proses bukan perundangan dan perundangan sepatutnya lebih tersusun untuk memastikan keberkesanan proses penguatkuasaan dan pelaksanaan. Kelemahankelemahan yang dikenalpasti hendaklah dinyatakan di dalam kajian akan datang bagi mengenalpasti metode yang terbaik bagi pelaksanaan yang lebih baik.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify the conditions of the wajibah (obligatory) will under compilation of Islamic law (KHI) and the application and rationale of wajibah wills in religious justice. The wajibah will is a form of judicial wealth transition that can deliver an inheritance to an heir who is not otherwise eligible for it. It is implemented in some Islamic countries, including Indonesia, based on the KHI. Design/methodology/approach This is a descriptive qualitative study that uses documentation as a data-collection method. This study applies the content-analysis method to the data collected. Findings The results of study indicate that, under KHI, a wajibah will only be given to adopted children. Nevertheless, in the practice of religious justice, the wajibah will is also granted to heirs of faiths other than Islam and to illegitimate children. The rationale for the wajibah will involves historical factors and public considerations. Originality/value This paper provides information on the practice of the wajibah will in Indonesia in view of the plurality of the Indonesian people. Thus, the wajibah will is an appropriate instrument to attain justness in the well-being of the community.
