The Qur'anic Ayah on Wife Beating

2018 · Book · Koleksi Perpustakaan

Islam continues to be a misunderstood religion especially to non-Muslims. Many of its directives remain a subject of hot debate, and continue to be a thorn in the minds of Muslim scholars. One of them is related to the Qurʼanic provision derived from the Quranic Ayah on wife beating, al-Nisāʼ 4: 34 that allows Muslim men to take action in dealing with their wives (women) whom they feared had committed disobedience, disloyalty and ill-conduct (nushuz); first, admonish them; second, if they remain disobedient and behave with ill-conduct, separate them from the beds; and third, if they refuse to amend their behaviour and are determined to demonstrate their disobedience and disloyalty, then subsequently the husbands may, therefore, beat them lightly (waaḍribuhunna). The first two steps of the action are reasonable and justified but the last one according to feminists and liberal Muslim authors, needs urgent reinterpretation because it looks like an incitement of violence against women. This research thus examines the wife beating phenomenon, particularly the one that occurs in Malaysia. It is then followed by analyzing the interpretations of selected classical and modern scholars in order to evaluate the differences between these two generations.

Qur'anic Memorization

2018 · Book · Koleksi Perpustakaan

Through a framework of cognitive psychology, this study explores the cognitive processes involved in memorising the Qur'an using the Information Processing Approach (IPA). This study adopts a qualitative case study design consisting of in-depth interviews with five (5) experienced huffaz (memorisers of the Qur'an). The responses revealed that sensory memory, Short-Term Memory (STM) and Long-Term Memory (LTM) processes are involved in memorising the Qur'an. During the sensory memory stage, participants highlighted the importance of teacher-student face-to-face encounter to ensure students achieved proficient Qur'anic recitation based on a recognized sanad (recitation style) before they start to memorise. This significant process is termed as talaqqi-musyafahah (face-to-face verbal instruction). Due to the fact that the Qur'an is Kalamullah (Speech of Allah), all participants pointed out that careful attention to details is critical. Participants emphasized the need to observe high levels of attention when transferring the information from sensory memory to STM. Data analysis revealed that at least ten (10) encoding strategies are used in the Qur'anic memorisation process which include: takrir (articulatory rehearsal process); muraja'ah (accumulative revision); chunking; complex sentences; writing and note taking; gradual testing strategy; visual imagery; pondering upon the meaning of the ayah; tazkirah; and self-reference effect. With regards to permanent retention of the Qur'an in the heart of the huffaz, the participants pointed out at least four (4) retention strategies are applied which include: Istiqamah(consistent in daily muraja'ah (revision)); Istiqamah in 'amal (reflecting the Qur'an through behaviour - portraying the Akhlaq (moral character) of the Qur'an); teaching the Qur'an to others; and serving as an Imam (leader for congregational prayer).The participants emphasised that one's faith is the most significant factor for ensuring commitment to Qur'anic memorisation. This study attempted to initiate further investigation on this faith oriented memorisation tradition from a cognitive psychological perspective. This research is exploratory and there is a need for additional studies to establish the theoretical foundation of Qur'anic memorisation, particularly in the field of cognitive psychology.

The advent of electronic commerce has caused many to question the continued viability of sourced-based taxation. This thesis argues that source-based taxation is theoretically justifiable for income that arises from international transactions which are conducted in an electronic commerce environment.
