https://ejournal.um.edu.my/index.php/ALBASIRAH/article/view/56758
<p><em>This article examines the creed, jurisprudence, and sufism methodology of the Aḥmadiyyah Order pioneered by Sayyid Aḥmad ibn Idrīs. His unique stance on these aspects distinguishes him from other ṭarīqah. Thus, he is known as a Reformist figure for his efforts in reforming several doctrines traditionally adhered to by previous ṭarīqahs. Consequently, this research aims to review existing literature to identify the methodology of this order. The research methodology employs the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) approach to ensure a systematic literature screening process. A total of nine past literatures have been selected for analysis. The findings indicate that Ibn Idrīs inclined towards the Salaf creed, while in terms of jurisprudence, he adhered to the Mālikī school in matters of customs and the Muḥaddithīn school in matters of worship. In terms of sufism, he pioneered the Aḥmadiyyah Ṭarīqah as a path to achieving the essence of sufism. His principles have become a guiding light for the followers of the Aḥmadiyyah Order, as he is its pioneer. These findings demonstrate that the innovations introduced by him have enriched the Islamic scholarly and spiritual heritage and broadened the spectrum of Sufi understanding and practice within the Sufi tradition.</em></p>Ahmad Syahmi Ahmad Mohtari YasimSyed Mohammad Hilmi Syed Abdul Rahman

https://ejournal.um.edu.my/index.php/ALBASIRAH/article/view/54386
<p><em>This study aims to examine the application of the al-Darurah Tubih al-Mahzurat method in the use of blood thinners for pregnant women. The al-Darurah Tubih al-Mahzurat method was introduced as an alternative approach in addressing the need for medications during pregnancy by emphasizing the safety and effectiveness of the use of blood thinners in this group. This study involves a review of literature studies and analysis through a comparative and inductive approach to the qawaid fiqhiyyah used in resolving this dilemma. The results of the study show that the use of the al-Darurah Tubih al-Mahzurat method allows blood thinners to be used by pregnant women and after childbirth when there is an urgent need such as the risk of thrombosis or more serious complications that can threaten the lives of the mother and baby. The analysis found that the balance of considerations maslahah and mafsadah is the main pulse in determining the ruling on the use of the medication. This study found that this method, al-Darurah Tubih al-Mahzurat, is very suitable for application in resolving this dilemma as well as providing practical guidance in maintaining the health of pregnant women and after childbirth.</em></p>Nur Suhada Mohd ZainunNorhidayah PauziRaihana Abdul Wahab

https://ejournal.um.edu.my/index.php/ALBASIRAH/article/view/57640
<p><em>This study aims to analyze the indicators, prospects and challenges faced by the Johor State Mosque in an effort to develop human capital with integrity. The mosque as an important institution in the Islamic community plays a significant role in the formation of moral values and individual integrity. This case study uses a qualitative approach with in-depth interviews and document analysis to obtain relevant data. The results of the study found that the Johor State Mosque has implemented various programs such as religious talks, Quran study classes and community activities that aim to strengthen the value of integrity in the community. However, there are several key challenges identified, including lack of financial resources, lack of involvement of the younger generation and mosque leadership issues. Despite this, this study also identified positive prospects such as support from the state government and potential strategic collaboration with educational institutions and non-governmental organizations. This study suggests that a more inclusive and innovative approach be applied to ensure the effectiveness of human capital development programs with integrity in mosques. The implications of this study provide guidance to mosque management and stakeholders in strengthening the institutional role of the mosque as an agent of social change.</em></p>Fadzil SoharMohd Farhan Md AriffinIbrahim Adham Mohd Rokhibi

https://ejournal.um.edu.my/index.php/ALBASIRAH/article/view/57000
<p><em>Visibility of the young crescent moon in a single area of maṭla' for determining the date of the Hijri Calendar is one of the processes that influence the Hijri Calendar. This process directly influences the Hijri Calendar practices and the timing of significant events such as Ramadan and Syawal celebrations. Determining the maṭla' involves the precise observation of the young crescent moon, conducted by experts skilled in lunar cycles and equipped with established visibility criteria accordingly MABIMS criteria. This study explores the perspectives of Islamic astronomy scholars from Malaysia, Indonesia, and Brunei Darussalam on integrating traditional fiqh principles with contemporary astronomical tools in moon-sighting practices. A study was conducted to obtain the true meaning of maṭla' that can be used by countries in the Southeast Asian region. The respondents were interviewed, and the study suggests that maṭla' MABIMS can be used as a coordination instrument in the field.</em></p>Muhammad Ridzuan HashimMohd Saiful Anwar Mohd NawawiSa'adan Man

https://ejournal.um.edu.my/index.php/ALBASIRAH/article/view/56489
<p><em>The number of Nusantara tafsir works available today is evidence of the hard work of Nusantara exegetes in conveying an understanding of the Quran to the community. The development of Nusantara tafsir writing is an important area of study, though it comes with its own unique challenges and requires specific approaches to address them. This study employs a library research method, examining literature that discusses common issues related to challenges in the study of Nusantara tafsir. One identified challenge is the lack of efforts to examine the intertextuality present in Nusantara tafsir books, which can be addressed by increasing incentives for researchers. Limited access to Nusantara tafsir sources and a lack of efforts to perform takhrij (critical assessment and verification) of these books also pose significant challenges for Nusantara tafsir researchers. The role of authorities and institutions is essential in expanding access for researchers to the original Nusantara tafsir sources and in providing greater incentives for takhrij, which requires a large, skilled workforce. Other challenges, such as language barriers and writing style, can be overcome by vernacularizing these books to a language style and dialect suitable for modern society. The lack of relevant learning technology also hampers the efforts to disseminate Nusantara tafsir writings and can only be resolved through a holistic approach, including the development of applications that can be utilized by the general public This study could be further improved with a more in-depth and targeted analysis of each of the listed challenges.</em></p>Muhammad Tajudin IsmailNor Syamimi Mohd

https://ejournal.um.edu.my/index.php/ALBASIRAH/article/view/56395
<p><em>This research delves into the evolution of political Islam as an ideology within the Muslim Brotherhood, with a specific focus on its recruitment strategies and the neglect of the lower class in Egypt. It examines how the movement initially emerged from the lower class, transitioned to target the middle class, and eventually shifted attention towards the middle and upper class, while providing minimal support to the lower class in terms of daily needs and assistance. This neglect of the lower class has led to the loss of millions of supporters, some of whom have aligned themselves with the government, actively opposing the Muslim Brotherhood and lending street legitimacy to anti-Brotherhood demonstrations during pivotal events such as the January Revolution of 2011 and the military coup in 2013. These occurrences prompt crucial questions and suggestions for the Muslim Brotherhood to reconsider its ideology and approach, particularly towards the lower class, which remains a significant demographic in shaping the movement's future political trajectory.</em></p>Omar Gomaa Ahmed MohamedMehmet OzalpOmer Atilla Ergi

https://ejournal.um.edu.my/index.php/ALBASIRAH/article/view/56267
<p><em>Sheikh Ahmed bin Hamad Al-Khalili stands as one of the most prominent scholars who actively opposed the ideology of atheism, dismantling its foundations. From his early years, he devoted himself to exposing its fallacies, notably its recurring claim that religions contribute to the destruction of civilization and the eradication of humanity. In contrast, Sheikh Al-Khalili maintained an entirely different perspective, shaped by his direct encounters with the atheist-communist movement in Zanzibar. This study thus aims to clarify the atheistic perspective on humanity by examining Sheikh Al-Khalili’s preaching efforts against the atheist-communist movement in Zanzibar. The study employed historical, descriptive, and analytical methodologies, concluding that atheist communism perpetrated brutal massacres in Zanzibar, decimating 4% of the local population. Communism entered Zanzibar during a period of neglect in Islamic preaching and a decline in religious education, which fueled African resentment toward Arabs. Despite his youth and the general lack of awareness among his contemporaries regarding the true nature of communist ideology, Sheikh Al-Khalili recognized the principles and dangers of atheistic communism early on. His efforts included advocating for the establishment of religious institutes in rural areas, raising youth awareness about the communist movement, and devising plans to rescue the deteriorating educational landscape in the country</em><em>.</em></p>Khalid Ahmed Saleh Al ToqiMuhammed YusofMohammad Abdelhamid Salem Qatawneh

https://ejournal.um.edu.my/index.php/ALBASIRAH/article/view/54271
<p><em>Fatwa enjoys an enviable position among the Muslims, most especially the jurists who are saddled with the responsibility of issuing religious verdicts to evolving social, economic and political matters. Resulting from this, the sensitivity of issuing verdict and its need for regulation cannot be underestimated. More so, the negative impact of unregulated fatwas on causing rancor and social instability cannot be glossed over. Against this backdrop, this research aims to study this manifestation, using Yorubaland in Nigeria, a region with majority of Muslim population as case study. The study adopts analytical method of research. The study shows that issuing strange fatwa is not peculiar to a particular school of thought in the region; rather both the Sufi and Salafi scholars are guilty of the menace. It also highlights some causes of this phenomenon which include lack of considering the peculiarity of societies, non-specialization in Shari’ah and giving priority to ideological inclination above objectivity. The study recommends collective fatwa issuing as a lasting solution for the menace of strange fatwas in Yorubaland of Nigeria.</em></p>Nafiu Ahmad ArikewuyoHabeebullah Yusuf Bolajoko

<p><em>Education is considered a vital pillar in achieving progress and development. Therefore, countries have paid great attention to it by establishing schools and universities and preparing competent teachers. However, the educational process cannot achieve its goals unless its environment is free from behavioral problems, among which bullying stands out as one of the most significant and dangerous issues. This is due to its rapid spread in classrooms, and without urgent educational solutions, the educational process would fail. In the era of globalization and social media, bullying has become more widespread worldwide, affecting schools in the Sultanate of Oman. This research aims to describe the phenomenon, identify its causes and negative consequences, examine the role of relevant authorities in Oman in addressing the problem, explore the correlation between bullying and students' behavior, and assess the extent to which the Islamic perspective can offer legitimate solutions to address bullying. The researcher employed the descriptive correlational method to describe the phenomenon, study its variables, and analyze its impact on the educational environment in Oman. Additionally, the analytical comparative method was utilized to compare the phenomenon with the study samples, analyze the collected data, and interpret related information. The findings were presented objectively to highlight the central ideas of the study and provide a clear vision for addressing the problem.</em></p>Abdul Sallam Awadh Fahd al-SyanfariMohamad Azrien Mohamed AdnanMuhammad Azhar Zailani
