Kehidupan beragama adalah suatu yang amat penting dalam melahirkan modal insan berkualiti sebagai aset utama pembangunan negara. Individu yang memiliki berpegang teguh kepada ajaran agama akan memiliki cara dan budaya hidup yang lebih teratur, motivasi kerja yang tinggi, dan lebih bersemangat untuk meningkatkan kualiti hidup. Keutuhan untuk hidup mengikut lunas agama merupakan keperluan bagi setiap individu sekalipun kepada Orang Kurang Upaya (OKU) Pendengaran. Malangnya, golongan ini telah dikenal pasti sebagai golongan yang keciciran dalam pembangunan keagamaan. Pencapaian pelajar OKU Pendengaran dalam mata pelajaran pendidikan Islam dilaporkan sangat lemah. Malah, persepsi mereka terhadap pembelajaran fardu ain adalah membimbangkan apabila menyatakan pengajian ini membosankan dan rasa kurang minat mereka untuk mengikutinya. Kajian yang dijalankan mendapati golongan OKU Pendengaran secara umumnya mempunyai latar belakang pendidikan yang rendah dan ketinggalan dalam arus pendidikan formal. Justeru, kajian ini akan meneliti berkaitan bentuk permasalahan dan cabaran yang dihadapi dalam pengendalian pembelajaran dan pengajaran (PdP) fardu ain kepada golongan ini. Kajian yang dikemukakan adalah bersifat kualitatif dengan menggunakan analisis dokumen dan temu bual separa struktur dengan pihak atau individu berkepentingan dalam isu yang dikaji. Empat cabaran utama telah dikenal pasti menjadi kekangan dalam pengendalian PdP fardu ain iaitu faktor sikap dan tahap kecerdasan, kurangnya kesedaran, kekurangan kemudahan info dan infrastruktur yang relevan dan sesuai dan kesukaran untuk mendapatkan pengajar agama yang berkemahiran berbahasa isyarat. Diharapkan kupasan yang dikemukakan berhubung isu ini dapat dijadikan asas untuk pihak berkepentingan dan pemegang taruh dalam memastikan pembangunan keagamaan OKU pendengaran dapat dilaksanakan sebaik mungkin.   Religious development is an important aspect in producing quality human capital, which is one of the main assets to national development. Individuals who adhere to Islamic teaching tend to have systematic lifestyle and culture, high work motivation and great enthusiasm for life development. The need to follow the Islamic path must be fostered in every individual including those with disabilities like deaf. They are identified as one of the communities with disability who are most left out in spiritual development. Achievement of students with hearing disability in the subject of Islamic Studies is reported to be poor. This study will examine the problems and challenges faced by the hearing impaired in their religious development. The research uses qualitative method analyzing non-numerical data and interviews from related agencies and key informants. Four main challenges have been identified as constraints in handling of TnL Fardu Ain, namely attitude factors and level of intelligence, lack of awareness, lack of relevant and appropriate information facilities, and infrastructure and difficulty in obtaining religious teachers skilled in sign language. This result is important for associated parties to pay attention to this matter so that the religious development for the deaf can be ensured.

Late Maturity

The article presents the stages of the religious development of personality. There is represented by periods: prenatal (the main phase of favorability, phase of an ancient faith, phase of quasi-religious behaviour), early childhood (phase of maternal religiosity, phase of development of prerequisites for individual religiosity), the preschool period (phase of encouraging religiosity, phase of individual religious interest), younger school age (phase of transition from external to internal, identification phase), an early teenager (phase of religious criticality, phase of relay autonomy), a late teenager (phase of religious romanticization, phase of religious integration), youth (phase of religious re-thinking, phase of spiritual accumulation), early maturity (phase of religious stability), middle-age (phase of religious ascent), late maturity (wisdom phase). There are results of a pilot study on the specific behaviour of infants from religious backgrounds in temples of different religious communities (parish temple, a temple of another denomination, another temple of denomination of parents). The results of local empirical studies on the influence of the form and type of religiosity on the level of individual indicators of psychological well-being of a person are presented (attitude to self, attitude to people, attitude to life, attitude to God). The analysis of the crisis potential of the stages of religious development for the social, psychological and spiritual development of personality is carried out. The categorical definitions of the constituents of constructive/destructive passage of crisis stages of religious development by the singularity are presented.

Second Wave

The purpose of this study was to determine changes in 6–8-year-old children’s concepts of good and evil, indicating some shifts in their religious and spiritual development due to closing schools during the COVID-19 pandemic. In Slovakia, religious education (RE) was one of the most neglected school subjects during the pandemic. Almost 300 children were asked to project their associations with good and evil either visually or verbally. This procedure was used several times before 2017 and after the first and second pandemic waves. The content of the children’s associations from all three periods was analyzed, categorized, quantitatively summarized, and compared. The numbers of children’s associations of good and evil with supernatural beings, religious rituals, and personal faith during the pandemic were reduced several times in comparison with 2017. The numbers of associations of good and evil with interpersonal relationships, inner human qualities and nature increased. The virus appeared as a concept of evil only in the second wave of the pandemic. The results point to a weakened intensity of children’s use of religious language and their religious development in the period 2020–2021, which might be one of the consequences of the limited teaching of RE during the pandemic.

An important problem of religious studies, the history of religion as a branch of knowledge is the periodization process of the development of religious phenomenon. It is precisely here, as in focus, that the question of the essence and meaning of the religious development of the human being of the world, the origin of beliefs and cult, the reasons for the changes in them, the place and role of religion in the social and spiritual process, etc., are converging.

The rapid production of films of diversity in post-1994 South Africa has unfortunately not been matched by critical works on film. Part of the reason is that some of the films recycle old themes that celebrate the worst in black people. Another possible reason could be that a good number of films wallow in personality praise, and certainly of Mandela, especially after his demise. Despite these problems of film criticism in post-1994 South Africa, it appears that some new critics have not felt compelled to waste their energy on analysing the Bantustan film – a kind of film that was made for black people by the apartheid system but has re-surfaced after 1994 in different ways. The patent lack of more critical works on film that engages the identities and social imaginaries of young and white South Africans is partly addressed in SKIN – a film that registers the mental growth and spiritual development of Sandra’s multiple selves. This article argues that SKIN portrays the racial neurosis of the apartheid system; and the question of identity affecting young white youths during and after apartheid is experienced at the racial, gender and sex levels.
