This study aims to look at the fusion of Islamic sources applied by Sayyid Sayyid cAbd al-Raziq as his main work in developing a unique and distinctive Islamic literary philosophy. On the one side, it is his effort and reflection on the refinement of the philosophical framework of Islamic literature that is considered to be entirely non-Islamic and largely dependent on Western ideas. As a result there are significant contradictions in Islamic values and this has prompted al-Raziq to produce a work that refines these issues. This study applied qualitative methods in the design of content analysis by analyzing the primary source, Manhaj al-Islami fi al-Naqd al-Adabi. The findings of the study have found that al-Raziq has optimally used Islamic sources as his primary vehicle in producing a philosophy of literary criticism that is truly Islamic. This is reflected in his efforts through the fusion of Islamic sources including the Qur'an, Hadith and also ethical interpretations in the scope of his philosophical debates including al-Turath al-Islami, al-Turath al-Jahili and al-Turath al-Madi.

This study aimed to examine whether organizational size plays a role as a moderator of the relationship between    halal standards practices and organizational performance. The study was also conducted to look at organizational performance differences for multinationals and medium-sized enterprises among halal food entrepreneurs in Malaysia. A total of 241 organizations through the Internal Halal Committee for the multinational (n = 69) and medium-sized enterprises (n = 172) in Malaysia were involved as respondents in the cross-sectional survey method using selected survey tools. Reliability and validity of the questionnaire were performed and cronbach's alpha values were within the generally accepted range (0.87 to 0.94). The data were analyzed using IBM Statistical Package For Social Science (SPSS) software version 21.0 The study findings show that i) organizational size acts as a moderator between the relationship between halal standard practices for halal operations and organizational performance; ii) significant differences in organizational performance for multinationals and medium-sized enterprises. Studies have found that organizational performance is influenced by a chain that interacts with each other starting from input, which then translates into process and ultimately results that are also supported by internal control of the organization. Indeed, the aspect of the practice of halal standards should be given attention by all parties in making Malaysia a halal hub that remains international. At the same time, further studies on halal food should also take into account the scope, methodology and respondents of the research involved in developing knowledge in this area.

Studies on student interest on any given course has been given attention by a number of researchers. Usually, these studies focus on factors that influence student inclination to learn a course. Student interest in a course generates various outcomes, such as encouraging student performance, and this performance is measured through student participation in lectures, course-related activities, and student motivation and drive to study a course. For core university courses such as Islamic and Asian Civilisations or TITAS, a study on student interest in the subject is highly relevant. A highly-positive interest in the course will realise one of the significant aspects of the government agenda; to unite the multi-ethnic groups in Malaysia. Therefore, this study is conducted to measure the interest of students of Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM) towards TITAS. This study uses the quantitative research method, through descriptive analysis of student interest in TITAS, with questionnaires as the research instrument of choice.

The pervasive use of the internet and mobile phone among the age group 5 – 17 years old makes learning through these media an attractive proposition. Mobile learning presents a flexible and inventive way of learning as well as the new normal. On the other hand, learning Sirah is an essential part of every Muslim in the world in order to understand what has happened in the past regarding our beloved prophet and to learn from his behaviour and follow his sunnah. However, past studies shown that the traditional learning approach seems dull and not interesting enough.  Mobile learning thus offers a new solution in learning the Sirah and similar subjects most students find of low interest and dull. The study used a quantitative approach using survey for data collection; and was divided into two phases: Sirah Game Prototype Design and Usability Evaluation phase. The ADDIE model was adapted as a model to guide instructional design process and development of the Sirah mobile applications with five phases throughout the process. An evaluation model consisted of seven components namely Game Usability, Mobility, Learning Content and Playability, Satisfaction, Efficiency was implemented. The findings suggested that students are highly interested in the use of the games for learning, able to learn Sirah subject in better ways by using the games and learning with games was found as enjoyable way to learn. This study adds more to Islamic digital content and enhances the learning approach for Sirah subject. We hope to contribute more towards Islamic digital content in the future for the benefit of our ummah and community.

This article is the result of an academic based research into Rātib al- ‘Aṭṭas. Ratib or Islamic chant is an essential element in an order (or school) of Sufism. However, the debate on the correlation between the aforementioned Ratib and moral development has not yet been specifically appraised, nor has it been proved by practical means. The objective of this research is to identify the correlation between the practice of Rātib al- ‘Aṭṭas by practitioners and their moral development. This research used quantitative methodology (research survey) involving practitioners of this Rātib in the state of Johor region as the respondents. These 350 respondents were from four different zones of Johor. The data were analyzed by descriptive and inferential means (correlation t-test). The findings of this research have shown that Rātib al- ‘Aṭṭas has a significant connection between moral development and establishment of several moral values of the practitioners in Johor who were truly diligent in undergoing this practise based upon an accurate practice module, sincere and pure intention and consistency. It is hoped that from this research, Rātib al- ‘Aṭṭas will be generally accepted and will receive recognition from the institutions involved.

Custom plays a significant role in any organised community as well as in the building of mutual harmony and avoiding conflicts. The establishment of a custom is the result from the interaction between the wisdom of the local intellectuals and its environment to meet the needs of the local community. The Malay community is a group that is rich with traditions, ranging from the birth customs, marriage and death. Basically, in the practice of the Malay customs there exists two polemics in which forms two opposing schools of thought. First is the fundamentalist that rejects most local customary practices. Second, is the traditionalist as they only accept the valid customs practised in society and reject invalid customs. These opposing views can be seen in various customary practices, for example in the death custom or ceremonies such as tahlīl (recital ceremony for the deceased), talqīn (recital for the deceased during burial), and tunggu kubur (grave waiting). Therefore, this study focuses on exploring the practice of tahlīl (recital ceremony for the dead) and tunggu kubur (grave waiting) through the concept of the local wisdom from the perspective of the principles of Islamic jurisprudence. To achieve these objectives, this study deploys an eclectic approach and interview method. The collected qualitative data were analysed thematically. The results of the study showed that there are elements of local wisdom behind these practices. In the Malay community, tahlīl (recital ceremony for the deceased) is a form of psychological and emotional support as well as a communal approach to the family of the deceased while the practice of tunggu kubur (grave waiting) is an approach to protect the burried corpses from thefts and mystical activities. Therefore, the local wisdom implied behind the practices are valid and hence, included in the category of accepted customary practices.

T The Movement Control Order (MCO) was declared by the Malaysian Government on 18 March 2020 to avoid the transmission of the Covid -19 infection.  The MCO was continued until phase four and then commenced to the Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) which was less restrictive starting 4 May 2020.  For the first two months of the implementation of the MCO, all business premises, places of worship and educational institutions were closed totally to the public. schools were reopened in stages during the CMCO following the advice of the Ministry of Health (MOH).  The objective of this research is to do an analysis of the maslahah element which was applied in the management of the reopening of schools according to the Sunnah Nabawiyyah perspective.  This research was conducted using the qualitative method which involved literature and field research.  By analyzing the primary documents released by the Ministry of Education (MOE) and the feedback posted by the mass media, the research found that the maslahah element such as maslahah daruriyyah, dunyawiyah and khassah are already implemented by the MOE in the preparation of School Reopening Management Guidelines.  This element was aimed specifically in order to safeguard the health and the well-being of the students and the teachers.  Even though education is important and mandatory for all, yet the constraints faced by the people concerned are equally important. Thus, the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is for the sake of making sure the well-being of school community is assured from the disease. Therefore, the guidelines of school reopening are in line with the Islamic approach based on the discussion of maqasid al-syari'ah which is to realize maslahah for human beings and avoiding any bad circumstances.
