[APPLICATION OF THE FIQH METHOD “NO HARM TO ONESELF AND NOT HARMFUL TO OTHERS” (LA DARAR WA LA DIRAR) IN DEALING WITH THE PANDEMIC ISSUE OF COVID-19 IN MALAYSIA]

The Covid-19 pandemic crisis that hit Malaysia has changed the norm of human life in many ways. The government has drafted and issued new Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) and enforced the Movement Control Order (PKP) in an effort to curb the spread of the Covid-19 epidemic. Through the principles of Islamic jurisprudence, one of the methodologies for determining the law is based on the method of fiqh (Qawa'id fiqhiyyah). Therefore, the method of fiqh can be a guiding instrument in facing this pandemic. The research question for this study is how the application of the fiqh method "No Harm to Oneself And Not Harmful to Others" (La Darar Wa La Dirar) in determining the law related to the issue of Covid-19. This paper aims to explain the aspects of the use of the fiqh method "No Harm to Oneself And Not Harmful to Others" (La Darar Wa La Dirar) that can be applied in dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic in Malaysia. This method is taken directly from the hadith of the Prophet S.A.W. is seen as very important in helping contemporary scholars to find similarities and make comparisons on various fiqh issues and make adjustments to new problems that do not yet have the backing of Islamic law. The research method used is a qualitative study through exploration of various library sources by examining books related to Qawaid fiqh iyyah, current fatwas in accordance with the situation of Covid-19, journals and reports of authoritative physicians and fiqh scholars in the issue of Covid-19 in Malaysia. In addition, observation techniques were also carried out. The collected data were analyzed and explained using inductive, deductive and comparative methods to obtain appropriate results in accordance with the objectives of the article. The findings of the study found that the fiqh method of "No Harm to Oneself And Not Harmful to Others" (La Darar Wa La Dirar) and several branches of the method are applied in many problems related to the implementation and government directives during the Covid-19 pandemic in Malaysia and can be used as a benchmark for self-care of the individual, society and country from the threat of this virus. Although it is not explicitly mentioned but the action taken is in line with the method of fiqh which recommends that all harms be removed. Thus, the scholars of usul fiqh formulate the method emphasizing the need to eliminate all harms as approved by the Islamic law and the method is formulated based on the command of Allah SWT: ”Do not spread corruption in the land after it has been set in order. And call upon Him with hope and fear. Indeed, Allah’s mercy is always close to the good-doers." (Al-A’raf: 56). Therefore, Muslims and the multi-racial community in Malaysia are not allowed to do anything that not only endangers themselves, but also causes harm to others.

Which is considered one of the modern methods that Islamic banks deal with, and it is a new investment method that was not known to the oldest jurists, and it is one of the Shariah financing formulas to counter interest-based dealings with interest-based banks.

This paper aims to dispel the confusion of students related to the knowledge of Rasm and Dhabt al-Quran among students of the Institute of Teacher Education, Sultan Mizan Campus.The confusion arises when they are unable to distinguish between the two disciplines of the Qur'an, namely, writing (rasm) and punctuation (dhabt).

The sample of this study was selected based on the principle of purposive sampling, that is, a sample that is believed to be able to answer the research questions well. The results show that there is no difference in terms of writing in the two mashafs because each was written in accordance with the principles and methods of Rasm Uthmani.

[SUFISM A STUDY ON IBN KHALDUN’S VIEWS WITH THE SPECIAL REFERENCE KITAB SHIFA’ AL-SA’IL WA TAHDHIB AL-MASA’IL] TASAWUF DALAM PESPEKTIF SEJARAH IBN KHALDUN: KAJIAN ANALISIS KITAB SHIFA’ AL-SA’IL WA TAHDHIB AL-MASA’IL

Sufism is a spiritual philosophy based on morals and intuition. It has affected the daily lives of Muslims and their behaviours as well. Actually, Sufism itself since its development has changed in terms of values, since it involves other knowledge which influences the purity of its teachings. To study the concept of Sufism and the history of its development, maintaining the purity of Sufism and returning it to the original teachings of tassawuf is needed especially in regards to Ibn Khaldun’s views since he is one of the scholars who emphasises the discussion and study of Sufism seriously and comprehensively. It can be seen by his objective in evaluating Sufism and producing the point of view to Sufism. Even as a historian and social expert, he also discusses the questions of Sufism from the root of the problem and its impact on the social life of Muslims. This study aims to analyse Ibn Khaldun’s views on the reality of Sufism and the history of its development with special reference to Shifa’ al-Sa’il wa Tahdhib al-Masa’il. To achieve these objectives, the library research method incorporating data collection and data analysis was used. Data analysis was done inductively and deductively.The results of the study have shown that Ibn Khaldun puts his own definition of Sufism comprehensively which is known as mujahadah. The concept of Mujahadah, according to him runs parallel to the history of the knowledge development and practices of Sufism. It began with mujahadah of taqwa, known among the early Sufis as zuhud and wara‘. Furthermore, mujahadah istiqamah and kashf are known as laduni or Sufism. Tasawuf adalah falsafah rohani yang berasaskan akhlak dan intuisi. Ia mempengaruhi kehidupan umat Islam serta memberikan kesan kepada perilaku mereka. Dalam perkembangannya, tasawuf mengalami perubahan nilai serta percampuran dengan ilmu-ilmu lain yang cenderung menodai kemurnian ajarannya. Untuk itu, kajian tentang konsep tasawuf penting dilakukan untuk menjaga kemurnian tasawuf dan mengembalikannya kepada ajaran yang sebenar. Ibn Khaldun merupakan salah seorang ulama yang membahaskan tasawuf secara teliti dan kritis. Perbahasan yang dikemukakan tidak hanya dilihat dari sisi keilmuan, tapi lebih dari itu sebagai pakar sejarah dan sosial kemasyarakatan beliau turut membahaskan persoalan tasawuf daripada akar permasalahan serta kesannya dalam kehidupan sosial umat Islam. Kajian ini bertujuan menganalisis pemikiran tasawuf Ibn Khaldun tentang hakikat tasawuf dan sejarah perkembangannya tumpuan kepada karya beliau, Shifa’ al-Sa’il wa Tahdhib al-Masa’il. Bagi mencapai objektif tersebut, kaedah kajian kepustakaan yang berteraskan kaedah pengumpulan dan analisis data melalui induktif dan deduktif digunakan. Hasil kajian mendapati bahawa Ibn Khaldun telah memberikan pengertian kepada tasawuf secara komprehensif yang beliau sebut sebagai mujahadah. Konsep mujahadah ini, selari dengan sejarah perkembangan dan amalan ahli sufi. Ia bermula dengan mujahadah takwa, iaitu peringkat awal sufi yang dikenali dengan zuhud dan warak. Seterusnya, mujahadah istiqamah dan kasyaf yang dikenali dengan ilmu laduni atau tasawuf.
