Life Threatening

At the end of December 2019, a pandemic of life-threatening disease known as COVID-19, caused by a virus that is highly infective and capable of damaging the respiratory system of a human body, to eventually causing death within a short span of time, has been reported in Wuhan, China. This virus has spread to hundreds of countries with hundred thousand positive cases of COVID-19, as well as thousands of death recorded until April 2020. Similarly, Malaysia also faces the pandemic of COVID-19 and recorded an increase of positive cases with more than 50 deaths until today. Multiple drastic preventive measures and steps have been implemented by the authorities in Malaysia to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 outbreak. Hence, this study is conducted to identify control measures that have been used globally, by looking into recent literature studies and focusing on the enforcement of Restriction of Movement Order (RMO) measure in Malaysia. In evaluating the legality of the implementation, the concept of siasah syar’iyyah, which is an effective mechanism in safeguarding the public interest or common good as required in Islam, must be taken into consideration. Therefore, qualitative methodology was duly adopted to explore the jurisprudential approach of prior Muslim governments, by analyzing highly regarded principal references that addressed similar cases. The basic principles of Islam, as contained in the Quran and ḥadīth of Rasulullah PBUH, applied in the decision making process and the rationality of actions taken in addressing any pandemic of disease would also be observed through data analysis methodology (content analysis). The approach of Islamic jurispru-dence methodology that is relevant and its application to this issue is also very important to be elaborated to understand that the process used before arriving at each decision by the authorities should adhere to the concept of maqāṣid and main principles of sharī‘ah. The result of the study found that the preventive measures to control the pandemic outbreak currently implemented by Malaysian government as well as the policies being enforced in dealing with the life-threatening pandemic is consistent with the injunctions of Islamic law that should be obeyed by all parties. Abstrak Pada akhir Disember 2019, pandemik penyakit yang mengancam nyawa manusia dikenali sebagai COVID-19, sejenis virus yang mudah dijangkiti, mampu merosakkan sistem respiratori tubuh manusia seterusnya menyebabkan kematian dalam jangka masa pendek telah dilaporkan berlaku di Wuhan, China. Virus ini telah merebak ke ratusan buah negara dengan  ratusan ribu kes positif COVID-19 beserta ribuan kematian telah dicatatkan sehingga April 2020. Malaysia turut  berdepan dengan wabak COVID-19 dan merekodkan peningkatan kes positif dengan lebih 50 kematian setakat  hari ini. Pelbagai langkah dan kaedah kawalan drastik telah dilaksanakan oleh badan berautoriti di Malaysia untuk mengawal penularan wabak COVID-19. Justeru kajian ini dibuat  untuk mengenalpasti kaedah-kaedah pengawalan yang dilaksanakan di peringkat global dengan melihat kajian-kajian literatur terkini dengan penumpuan kepada penguatkuasaan kaedah Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan (PKP) di Malaysia. Dalam menilai kesahan pelaksanaan, konsep siasah syar’iyyah yang merupakan satu mekanisme efektif dalam menjaga kemaslahatan awam seperti yang dituntut oleh Islam harus diambilkira. Oleh yang demikian, metod kualitatif digunapakai untuk meneroka pendekatan ijtihad kerajaan Islam terdahulu dengan menganalisis kitab-kitab muktabar dalam menangani beberapa kes yang sama. Prinsip-prinsip asas Islam yang terkandung dalam al-Quran dan sunah Rasululullah SAW dalam proses membuat keputusan dan kewajaran tindakan yang perlu diambil dalam menangani suatu wabak penyakit akan turut diteliti melalui kaedah analisis data (content analysis). Pendekatan kaedah-kaedah memastikan yang relevan serta pengaplikasiannya dalam isu ini juga sangat penting untuk diperhalusi bagi memahami bahawa proses setiap keputusan yang diambil tindakan oleh badan berautoriti perlu menepati konsep maqasid dan prinsip utama syariah. Hasil kajian mendapati, kaedah kawalan penularan wabak yang sedang dijalankan oleh kerajaan Malaysia berserta dasar dan polisi yang dikuat kuasakan dalam menangani pandemik yang mengancam nyawa masyarakat adalah bertepatan dengan perintah syarak yang wajib dipatuhi oleh semua pihak.

Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) had introduced Value-Based Intermediation (VBI) initiatives to help Islamic banks implement a structuralised form of maqasid al-shariah (objectives of shariah (Islamic law)) in their banking operations. Thus, questions were raised by the public on whether or not Islamic banking institutions in Malaysia had been achieving maqasid al-shariah in their banking operations prior to VBI. This paper aims to discuss the real concept of maqasid al-shariah that should be realised in Islamic banks and investigate whether Islamic banks had truly been achieving maqasid al-shariah in their banking operations before the introduction of VBI. Library research is conducted to obtain information on maqasid al-shariah and the qualitative methodology is adopted to gain information from three bankers representing three Islamic banks in Malaysia via semi-structured interviews. The researchers found that the fundamental concept of maqasid al-shariah in Islamic banks includes the protection of religion, life, intellect, progeny and wealth in human life through the products and services offered by the banks. The Islamic banks were found to have developed their products and services to achieve maqasid al-shariah even before VBI was introduced by BNM. However, with VBI, a proper framework in achieving maqasid al-shariah has been developed.

Newspaper Articles

We used content analysis methodology to examine the reasons newspaper articles ( n = 121) provide for why we do not have new male contraceptives (NMCs). Articles were six times more likely to state that developing NMCs is good than bad. Yet half of all articles noted the safety or side effects of NMCs, which could leave the public with a sense of confusion or hesitation around the science and interest in NMCs. Our results indicate that while articles recognize the advantages of NMCs and are ostensibly supportive of them, we as a society are not yet culturally ready for them. We highlight the emergence of a new cultural narrative regarding men and contraceptive responsibility, which we refer as the “reproductive man” because he considers himself a reproductive being who needs to take ownership and responsibility for his reproductive activity and decisions.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore how the health ministries of Turkey and Slovenia use Twitter as government agencies obliged to communicate with the public.Design/methodology/approachThis study employed a content analysis methodology to examine how Turkish (TR) and Slovenian (SLO) health ministries use Twitter for informing and encouraging behavior change in the public. A total of 662 “tweets” were analyzed. Drawing on prior studies, a coding scheme was developed and employed, and χ2 and t-tests were conducted for data analysis. Additionally, this study aimed at effecting a content analysis according to the “four models” method of Grunig and Hunt regarding efforts made to build communication with the public.FindingsThis study uncovered that the TR and SLO health ministries did not utilize two-way communication principles for Twitter communication, and their frequency of Twitter use is inadequate.Research limitations/implicationsThe sampled tweets were selected by using a scientific sampling method. However, this might not have been substantial enough to represent the entirety of tweets in the study timeframe. Analyzing tweets across a longer timeframe would be helpful in confirming this study's findings. This study was also limited to two countries and to publicly available tweets; the messages of health ministries' followers to the ministries themselves were not examined. The findings of this study may not be generalizable to other countries. Other potential studies, with a particular focus on this topic, may be able to measure individual perceptions of the credibility and usefulness of messages from health ministries and their willingness to engage in two-way communication.Originality/valueThis study is one of the first to evaluate how the health ministries of Turkey and Slovenia communicate on Twitter and to apply the four models of Grunig and Hunt with regard to Twitter. This study also identified that noncompeting government agencies were not minded to communicate with their publics.

COVID-19 (otherwise known as coronavirus disease 2019) is a life-threatening pandemic that has been combatted in various ways by the government, public health officials, and health care providers. These interventions have been met with varying levels of success. Ultimately, we question if the preventive efforts have reduced COVID-19 deaths in the United States. To address this question, we analyze data pertaining to COVID-19 deaths drawn from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). For this purpose, we employ incidence rate restricted Poisson (IRRP) as an underlying analysis methodology and evaluate all preventive efforts utilized to attempt to reduce COVID-19 deaths. Interpretations of analytic results and graphical visualizations are used to emphasize our various findings. Much needed modifications of the public health policies with respect to dealing with any future pandemics are compiled, critically assessed, and discussed.

This article focuses on the issue of taklid and public adherence to a particular mazhab of fiqh, especially the Syafi’i mazhab in Malaysia. In examining the issue, this study uses the method of content analysis by studying the views of usuliyyin (ulama usul fiqah) on the practice of taqlid. Most usuliyyin state that syariah only requires the public to refer to ahl al-zikr (scholars) to get an explanation of the fatwa without being tied to any particular mazhab. The reality in Malaysia shows that most of the jurisprudence laws of the Syafi’i’s mazhab have become a common practice in ritual matters, adapted into the curriculum of basic Islamic education in primary and secondary schools including codified in the Islamic administrative acts and enactments of the states. Therefore, this study shows that the Syafi’i mazhab should be the main guide for the consistent practice of Islamic law among the public. For scholars level, this mazhab may serve as a scientific basis for exploring the fatwa of the various mazhab in order to prepare the current fatwa for Muslims’ interest. Thus, this study found that the public's adherence to the Shafi'i mazhab in Malaysia is preferred to be more effective approach in promoting unity of Muslim society rather than following the fatwa of various mazhab that are difficult to control. For the sake of freedom of following mazhab, this study does not prohibit Muslim scholars from practicing fatwa other than the Syafi'i mazhab as long as they adhere to the ethics of disagreement in harmony.

Property Inheritance

Inheritance is something that has material value left by a person after his death which is obtained during his life truly and becomes the perfect property during his life and is eternally owned by simati until he dies. In Malaysia, the distribution of Islamic inheritance is subject to faraid law, in which non-Muslims cannot inherit Muslim property. However, for the property of non-Muslims, there is a law that protects it, namely the Distribution (Amendment) Act 1997, Act 1004. This Act does not state that Muslims cannot inherit the inheritance of non-Muslims. The distribution is made to the heirs based on the kinship relationship and marriage regardless of religion. This means that Muslims also inherit the property of non-Muslims. The two main methods of distributing inheritance that is practiced in Malaysia are the distribution method according to Islamic law for the death of a Muslim and the distribution method according to civil law which affects the Act of Dispensing 1958 (Act 300) for the death of non-Muslims. Both mechanisms involve converts, either converts as the dead or as heirs. Those with the title of convert to Islam have their uniqueness in the distribution of inheritance which is different from the usual inheritance distribution mechanism. Due to these differences in distribution, this study was carried out to highlight the administration of inheritance laws involving converts to Islam in Malaysia. This study was conducted using a qualitative method by taking a literature review approach, also continuing the content analysis design. The results of the study highlights that have been carried out show that there have been many writings, ideas, and discussions regarding this case made by the reviewers. The results of the study found that there are procedures and provisions for laws in the settlement of inheritance involving heirs of converts if they are not Muslim, as well as if converts are heirs to the property of the dead who are not Muslim. Therefore, with an explanation of the administration of the law in this study, it can resolve errors to the public regarding the issue of inheritance and property inheritance involving converts in Malaysia.

A broad range of methodologies is routinely employed to track and analyse use of research evidence in public policymaking. However, available methods and tools are mostly equipped to track ‘evidence’ but are less equipped to capture and represent ‘use’ of evidence. In particular, existing methods overlook policymakers’ frequent use of evidence for political persuasion and bargaining. Drawing on established theories and research tools from the field of persuasive communication, we developed a content analysis instrument for tracking and analysing policymakers’ use of evidence based on the information contained in policy documents. We provide a specific example of applying this tool and demonstrate how it may be used to generate rich and nuanced insights regarding the scope, nature, and timing of policymakers’ evidence use at different levels and phases of the public policymaking process. We conclude with a discussion of potential strengths and limitations and offer recommendations regarding the optimal application of this methodology.
