He believes that the punishment of qisas alone is not meant to preserve one’s life.</em> <em>This is due to the fact that qisas punishment is an ineffective method of preserving one’s life because it causes loss of one life. In fact, the most important preservation method is to save it before being destroyed.</em> <em>Therefore, this article aims to explore the true meaning and concept in understanding the theory of hifz al-nafs according to the perspectives of contemporary scholars.</em><em> The study’s philosophy is interpretive using a qualitative approach in adapting the study design. Meanwhile, the document content analysis method was used in this study for data collection and analysis. The findings showed that the concept of hifz al-nafs is a claim to protect one’s life, oneself, and one’s soul that Allah S.W.T and His Messenger established in the al-Quran al-Karim and al-sunnah al-nabawiyyah from two main dimensions, which include the physical dimension and the spiritual dimension. Thus, this study hopes that the theoretical concept of hifz al-nafs is not narrowed down by some parties to protect life alone but indeed the concept needs to be expanded in the future in line with the flow of time. </em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> Mustaqim Roslan, M.

Understanding and instilling these concepts in children plays a crucial role in shaping their values, morals, and personalities. Faith serves as the foundation for moral and ethical development, conveying positive values such as honesty, justice, and compassion. Additionally, faith functions as a source of psychological resilience, providing inner strength for children to face life's challenges, helping them differentiate between good and evil, encouraging gratitude, and strengthening social bonds by instilling values of solidarity and compassion. This article explores the concept of "faith" (iman) in Islam, focusing on its importance and challenges in the development of children. &nbsp;However, there are challenges in instilling this faith. External influences such as secular education, media, and peer pressure can be significant obstacles. Exposure to conflicting values and misleading content, along with secular curricula, may undermine the emphasis on religious education. Peer influence, especially in the digital and materialistic era, also creates challenges in maintaining a balance between worldly goals and religious values. In conclusion, understanding these challenges is essential for parents, educators, and society to develop strategies that promote a balanced approach to education, aligning secular knowledge with Islamic values. Recommendations include integrating religious education with secular curricula, active parental involvement, the use of positive media, forming supportive communities, and training teachers to understand and integrate faith values in their teaching. By doing so, society can raise children who excel academically and are rooted in strong Islamic values.</em></p> Haiza Hayati Baharudin, Mohamad Zulfahmi Mohamad Copyright (c) 2024 http://jurnal.usas.edu.my/altakamul/index.php/altakmulfiles/article/view/211 Mon, 01 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0800 Aplikasi Konsep Amar Makruf Nahi Mungkar terhadap Penduduk Bandar Menurut Pemikiran Tan Sri Dato’ Seri (Dr.) Haji Harussani Haji Zakaria http://jurnal.usas.edu.my/altakamul/index.php/altakmulfiles/article/view/205 <p><em>Amar makruf nahi munkar (AMNM) is an obligatory decree from Allah S.W.T. Therefore, regardless of whether they are in an urban or rural area, every Muslim is obligated to carry it out. Nevertheless, due to the hectic pace of existence, the number of people defying the obligatory decree has increased, particularly in urban areas. The issue worsens when Muslims, who are expected to preserve the truth and avert wrongdoing, on the contrary, become perpetrators of the wrongdoings. These incidents imperil the safety of individuals living in cities. As an example, criminality is one of the threats mentioned here. When a crime happens, the safety of the general population is unavoidably jeopardised. Hence, the purpose of this study highlighted Tan Sri Dato' Seri (Dr.) Haji Harussani Haji Zakaria's opinions on the implementation of AMNM and its application in the context of Malaysian urban area residents. This study was examined using documentation method for data collection and&nbsp; content analysis method to analyse the data. The findings of the study had &nbsp;effectively set guidelines for the people living in urban areas in Malaysia. The public, academics, authorities, and the government were all involved in the guidelines. The success of preparing these guidelines utilises as a practice for every tier of the population living in urban areas in adopting AMNM, which is able to guarantee their safety.</em></p> Nor Amalina Abd Rahman @ Sabri, Wan Hishamudin Wan Jusoh Copyright (c) 2024 http://jurnal.usas.edu.my/altakamul/index.php/altakmulfiles/article/view/205 Mon, 01 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0800 Peranan Pengurusan Masjid Bandaraya Kota Kinabalu dalam Pengimarahan: Satu Analisis http://jurnal.usas.edu.my/altakamul/index.php/altakmulfiles/article/view/212 <p><em>Mosque is an institution that plays important roles as a center of worship and&nbsp; the development of knowledge.

Besides being designated as khalifas on earth, humans are also entrusted with the responsibility as servants to the One Creator, Allah S.W.T. Both roles cannot be manifested in the world without a profound understanding of the nature of being a servant. One of the key concepts that fSorms the foundation in navigating this life undoubtedly stems from the deep-seated love or maḥabbah towards Allah, the Almighty. Hence, this study will explore the concept of maḥabbah through the writings of two eminent Sufi figures, namely al-Ghazālī and al-Qushayrī. This qualitative study utilized the method of documentation in obtaining data related to the study context. The findings of the study indicated the importance of the concept of maḥabbah to be internalized among Muslims, especially in today's challenging world.</em></p> <p><em>&nbsp;</em></p> Nur Syazana Adam , Wan Zuhaira Nasrin Wan Zainudin, Muhammad Firdaus Zakaria, Nur Farha Muhammad Faleh Lai Copyright (c) 2024 http://jurnal.usas.edu.my/altakamul/index.php/altakmulfiles/article/view/209 Mon, 01 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0800 Interaktif Media Sosial, Personaliti dan Kecerdasan Emosi Pendakwah dalam Kalangan Belia http://jurnal.usas.edu.my/altakamul/index.php/altakmulfiles/article/view/208 <p><em>Da'wah is the work of continuing the struggle to uphold the truth of Islamic teachings in society. The use of the internet is also embedded among the youth generation who are the future layer. In fact, these millennials are also getting closer to religious knowledge through a virtual approach, especially social media applications that are increasingly popular.&nbsp; The fact is, digital da'wah is now increasingly accepted by all levels of society and is the main model for delivering Islamic teachings in the Melania era.&nbsp;&nbsp; In this regard, interactive social media, personality and the ability to manage emotions are elements that have become a trend among millennial preachers. The millennial era interactive da'wah platform also plays a very important role in various levels of society.&nbsp; Emotional intelligence impacts a preacher's behavior and achievements.&nbsp; Therefore, the objective of this study is to identify social media interactivity, personality and emotional intelligence towards preachers among youth.&nbsp; Qualitative study design with document analysis, content analysis and descriptive past study highlights. The results of the study found that several two-way (interactive) da'wah approaches through social media are significant between social media interactivity, personality and emotional intelligence which can be explained from various aspects of the preacher's life. The implications of the study's findings explain that da'wah work is difficult and challenging, the younger generation needs to prepare themselves before being actively involved in upholding Islamic da'wah. This is because interactive social media is able to provide effective development for the youth in terms of ideology, improving themselves and their tendency to better understand the teachings of Islam. Therefore, the future research should focus on three main challenges need to be paid attention to by preachers, especially the younger generation, namely knowledge, popularity and sincerity to strengthen the work of da'wah.</em></p> Mariani Omar Copyright (c) 2024 http://jurnal.usas.edu.my/altakamul/index.php/altakmulfiles/article/view/208 Mon, 01 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0800
