Akidah daripada perspektif Islam diibaratkan seperti tunjang bagi sepohon pokok. Kuat tunjangnya, maka menjadi kuat sepohon pokok. Begitu juga dengan seorang Muslim, apabila akidahnya mantap, maka kuat juga kekuatan diri sebagai seorang Muslim sehingga mampu menjadi seorang Mukmin yang bertakwa, beralamal soleh, dan berakhlak mulia. Kekuatan akidah juga menjadikan umat Islam kental dan dinamik dalam dalam membawa obor kegemilangan yang bersepadu sehingga menjadi suri teladan kepada seluruh umat manusia. Sebaliknya, kelemahan akidah ini menghilangkan seri keindahan Islam yang terjelma dalam diri umat dalam pelbagai bentuk seperti pengabdian ibadah, akhlak, adab, dan sopan.

While on one side of the coin we see how modernity has greatly benefited mankind in areas of science, technology and economics, the other side of the coin -the costs of modernization -has often been intentionally left unnoticed or put within footnotes as inconvenient afterthoughts. One such thorny issue that has been the source of debate between pro-modernists and anti-modernists is the effect modernization has on the values and social aspects of society. Modernity and morality are deemed to be separate concerns; one can exist without the other, or, as some believe, in place of the other. The dilemma -modernity without morality, or morality without modernity -is one that can be answered through a scrutiny of the values themselves that are held by modern societies. This research note is an attempt to compare and contrast the conventional Western approach to ethics, values and social concepts, to t...

They changed the Malays in almost every aspect pre-dominantly in economical and social aspects. The Malays today are no longer the same Malays once known during the height of Malacca Sultanate. The Malays today are achieving more. Many became great people owning assets, land and intellectual properties; however some issues faced by the Malays in the olden days still exist, as if they have never been dealt with. Issues such as insecurity in regards to land ownership, lack of self-confidence in many areas, and other problems with religion and perception. The gravest challenge now faced by the Malays and the Muslims, is the negative perception and the lowest possible image of them in the eyes of the world. The Malays were said to be lazy and dependent while Muslims were associated with terrorism; perceiving them as people who are intolerant, violent, bigoted and generally disrespectful towards other religions, and worst, as ...

Orangorang yang bergabung menjadi ahli secara sedar telah bersetuju dengan dasar dan matlamat organisasi tersebut yang pada hakikatnya adalah perwujudan daripada gagasan para pengasasnya. Demikian halnya dengan Muhammadiyah, di Indonesia tidak mungkin dipisah daripada Ahmad Dahlan sebagai pengasasnya. Lebih asas lagi, kelahirannya sebagai gerakan Islam melalui sistem organisasi juga memperolehi rujukan teologi, sebagaimana tercermin dalam pemaknaan atapun tafsiran surah al-Quran Cali Imran ayat 104. Artikel ini menggunakan metodologi kualitatif bersifat deskriptif analitikal, iaitu tulisan yang berusaha menggambarkan data yang sesuai keadaannya.

This class experiences expansion from time to time and plays an important role in advancing the state. They not only play a role in mobilizing the national economy, but also bring socio-political changes. The emergence of this group is much influenced by the industrialization process in Malaysia. In addition, the emergence of this group is influenced by the establishment of government agencies which have played and continue to play their own roles. Thus, this article is presented to study the role of government agencies in the creation of a Malay middle class in Malaysia. However, this research focuses on only three government agencies: Majlis Amanah Rakyat (MARA) Perbadanan Nasional Berhad (PNS) and Permodalan Nasional Berhad (PNB). Research outcome shows that these three agencies play an important role in giving birth to a Malay middle class in Malaysia. They provide advi...

The bigger Muslim ethnic groups such as the Indian Muslim, Chinese Muslim and Malays have the potential to form a Muslim middle class and contribute to national development. However, sociological studies regarding them are lacking in Malaysia, particularly in the economic context. For example, studies on the Indian Muslim community are mainly focused on the political scope and not enough on their economic achievement. Thus, discussion in this article focuses on the economic activities generally ventured into by the Indian Muslim community today. The research objective is to generally identify the history of their arrival and the economic activities they are involved in today. The final objective is to evaluate the extent of importance that the Indian Muslim community has to the current economic developmnet of the Malay society. This research use...
