The Foundations of Islamic Economics and Banking

The first part of this book is designed to display the sources and principles of economics and trade transactions in the Islamic community. It analyzes the judicial injunctions against riba and proves that riba including interest is prohibited. Basing the argument on theoretical (Quran and Sunna) as well as the customary practice during the life of the messenger of God in Mekka and Al-Madina. Notably, the Islamic teachings covers both the worldly and religious affairs. This is a very revealing indication that “Islam” does not only regulate the relations of the human beings with God, but also extends to regulating (i) the relationship of the ruler with the ruled through “al-shura”, and (ii) economic and financial transactions in the market. Notable among these transactions: a) the abolition of riba and instigating interest-free economy, (b) providing the basic needs of society, (c) achieving social justice by applying zakat levy and other ordinances, and last but not least inheritance law and redistribution of State land for public benefits. The second and third part of the book explains and proves that prohibition of riba does not circumvent trade or paralyze the economy. On the contrary by eliminating injustice inherent in riba, the banking system will be liberated from discrepancies and the economy will perform more efficiently by mitigating the evils of riba.

Islam and Its Challenges in the Globalised World

From the beginning, Islam faces many challenges from its foes, that is, the disbelievers-atheism, Jews and Christians, secularism, liberalism, pluralism, etc.-who want to extinguish Islam and its foundation from this world. Since the fall of the Islamic empire in the fifteenth century, Muslim countries pathetically came under the dominance of Western powers in almost every aspect of life. The United States of America and other powers foreign policies generally have hidden agenda to weaken the Muslim countries so that they can keep on dominating the Muslim world. They give support to the secularist, liberalist, and pluralist groups in the Muslim countries to go against the Islamic traditionalists and fundamentalists. Although there are more than a billion Muslims in the world, they are weak and have become marginalized. Gone is the power of the Muslims of the past. Therefore, the contemporary Muslims have no choice but to wake up to face the challenge if they are genuine Muslims because they are the best ummah ever created by Allah. During the height of Islamic empire, Islam stayed strong and kept on spreading its wing throughout the world because of charismatic and credibility some of its leaders. Islam is a universal religion that brought enlightenment to human race. Nevertheless, Muslim nations in the modern era of globalized world are disobedient lot unlike the Muslims of the past; thus they become weak. Globalization is the creation of the Western imperialists as a tool to control world trade and economy of other nations. Small and underdeveloped nations are often unfairly treated. The polarization and bloody borders between the Christians West and the Muslims are now become more transparent than ever before. The wounds inflicted by the Americans and the West in Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Sudan, Somalia, and others are still bleeding and bloody. The usage of the words such as Islamophobia and the Muslims as terrorist frequently propagated throughout the world against Islam, thereby affecting the feeling of friendly and moderate Muslims in general. The cruelties inflicted on many of the innocent Muslims directly or indirectly give a green light for some hardcore Muslims to retaliate in a more radical way, including suicide bombing. The difference perception of faith, moral character, social, ethic, economy, politics, law, etc., in Islam with other religions are wide apart. Islam is a religion of Oneness of God (Islamic Monotheism) whilst the others are not. Islam taught the Muslims to live side by side in co-existence and in peace with the others provided there is a mutual respect with one another. Islam is a moderate religion. The whole universe and its contents absolutely belong only to Allah. Human race are His servants to take good care of the earth. Muslim ummah in the modern world miserably failed in their responsibilities in this world because most of them are lack of faith in Allah. They have deserted al-Quran and al-Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) in their way of life. Nevertheless, ultimately near the end of the world the Muslims will win as promised by Allah although disbelievers do not believe it.

Psikologi Pendidikan

Pedoman Untuk Guru dan Ibubapa

Pendidikan merupakan suatu tugas yang mencabar. Baik sebagai guru di sekolah mahupun ibubapa di rumah, tugas mendidik dilihat sebagai suatu tanggungjawab. Justeru adakalanya menyebabkan kita terlepas pandang dengan melihat tugas mendidik hanyalah berlaku di sekolah sahaja. Oleh itu aktiviti meningkatkan pengetahuan, kefahaman dan kemahiran mendidik dianggap hanya perlu dilakukan oleh guru di sekolah. Buku ini menjelaskan mengapa setiap individu sebenarnya merupakan pendidik. Samada sebagai guru di sekolah, ibubapa di rumah, mahupun ahli masyarakat, kita semua perlu sentiasa berusaha menambah pengetahuan, meningkatkan kefahaman dan kemahiran dalam mendidik. Tanpa usaha meningkatkan kefahaman dan kemahiran maka proses mendidik anak-anak didik kita lebih menjurus kepada ‘trial and error’ dan merugikan. Dalam buku ini perbincangan tentang teori, kaedah, strategi dan pendekatan psikologi dalam mendidik telah dilakukan dengan membandingkannya dengan pengalaman-pengalaman seharian. Penulis telah dengan sengaja membandingkan pengalaman-pengalaman seharian yang beliau lalui baik sebagai guru di sekolah atau pensyarah di pusat pengajian tinggi mahupun sebagai bapa di rumah supaya kefahaman dan penguasaan kemahiran mendidik dapat difahami dengan lebih mudah. Menjadi harapan penulis supaya buku ini dijadikan sebagai rujukan tambahan berkenaan dengan proses memahami dan meningkatkan kemahiran mendidik dalam kalangan kita semua. Amiin.

Sebab itubila bercerita tentang psikologi pendidikan kita akan memahaminya
sebagai suatu proses pengaplikasian ilmu psikologi dalam pendidikan yang
boleh menyumbang kepada pemahaman dan pengamalan dalam proses
pendidikan.

The Conceptual Idea of the Mua’Malat Fiqh Forensic in the Islamic Financial System

This book serves as the platform to educate people at all levels to understand the fundamentals of fiqh processes pertaining especially to the conceptual idea of the globalization of the Mu’amalat fiqh forensic particularly as the guideline for the innovation of various financial products in the Islamic financial system. The main goal of this book is to illustrate the step-by-step procedure on how an arising issue is resolved through fiqh. The heart of all fiqh issues is the identification stage. All arising issues must first be identified whether they fall under the category of qat’iy (definitive) or zanni (speculative), whether they are the matter of usul (roots) or furu’ (branches), and whether they belong under the matter of ittifaq (consensus in agreement) or ikhtilaf (difference in opinion). Once all these have been properly identified, only then can the people in charge proceed with the next step of resolving the said issues. In this current age of world without borders due to globalization, it becomes necessary for experts in the social and Islamic science fields to collaborate together to come up with a solution that simultaneously fulfills both the local and international market demands. Harmonization of these two different disciplines is difficult without proper guidance, and this book primarily strives to achieve that based on the author’s background of expertise and years of experience in solving numerous fiqh issues through this harmonization method.
