Authors: Abdul Khader Sultan Mohideen , Altaff Kareem
Published: February 2021

This investigation aimed to analyze the effects of different diets and determine the optimal feed on the growth performance of guppy Poecilia reticulata (Peters, 1859). In the present study, juvenile guppies were procured from commercial fish breeders, Kolathur, Chennai, and fed with four experimental diets, namely Diet I (Control-Pellet feed), Diet II (Formulated feed), Diet III (Dry Tubifex), and Diet IV (Live feed Brachionus plicatilis) to examine the effects on growth and survival rates. In the experiment, 12 glass circular tanks with a volume of 10 L were used, and ten juveniles having an average body length and weight of 0.8 cm and 0.01 g were randomly introduced into each aquarium (80 cm×30 cm×35 cm) in triplicates. During the experimental study, the fish were fed two times a day ad libitum for 90 days. The various growth parameters and proximate composition of the diets were calculated by following standard methods. The findings showed significant differences (p<0.05) in the fish's various growth parameters fed with different diets. The fish fed with Diet IV 52% crude protein performed better than those provided with lower levels. The increase in growth parameters could be attributed to increased levels of dietary crude protein. However, the diet does not have any significant impact on fish survival rates. Thus, it is concluded that the Live Feed B. plicatilis with 52% crude protein is suitable for theoptimum growth of Poecilia reticulata under the current experimental set-up and recommended for feeding juvenile guppies.

Published: February 2021

The critical aspects of the impact of microbiological contamination on ventilation and air conditioning systems, the microclimate of the premises, and human health are analyzed. The quantitative and qualitative composition of the microflora of premises depends on their functional purpose, design features, operating conditions, climate, and other factors, among which the method of ventilation is essential. The moisturizers in the air conditioning system are hazardous, which provide bacteria and fungi with water necessary for their life and reproduction. In addition, contaminants accumulated in ventilation systems operate as a substrate for feeding microorganisms. Multi-story administrative, public, and residential buildings, industrial buildings, and other places of mass concentration are areas of increased aerobiological risk of infection. In case of improper operation, air conditioning and ventilation systems can be sources of microorganisms in any room. Transmission of infectious aerosol over long distances occurs in rooms with poor ventilation, and a key factor for the outbreak of infection is the direction of airflows. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, organizations and international agencies to control the spread of SARS-CoV-2 indoors recommend limiting the operation of exhaust ventilation and recirculation systems. However, there is still insufficient data to clarify the role of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems in spreading infection. Risk assessment and decision-making on the choice of air conditioning systems should be dynamic and based on the scale of the pandemic and the verification of the characteristics of HVAC systems and their effectiveness.

Metodologi Abu Hatim Al-Raziy dalam Mengkritik Perawi Hadis: Analisis Terhadap Frasa: Laysa Bidzak Al-Qawiy
Authors: Jamilim Ahmad Kamil
Published: February 2021

Abu Hatim Muhammad ibn Idris al-Raziy (266h) is a leading figure in the science of hadith among the first generation (al-mutaqaddimun) especially in the al-Jarh and al-Ta'dil discipline. He made a lot of assessment and criticism on the narrators via different words and ways. The interpretation of his criticism sometimes is ambiguous, and sometimes supplemented by a clear statement and proof. This ambiguity usually happened in his assessment because of the complexity of the utterance-words, multiple uses of the structure, inconsistencies and sometimes because of the existence of contradictions. This matter may lead to confusion and misunderstanding among researchers of narrators or hadith. One of the utterances were: "Laysa bidzak al-qawiy" meaning: Not so strong. This phrase literally means the narrator is not so weak that will drop it to the level of da'if or matruk, even it seems like a mild criticism that carries higher value than: "Laysa bilqawiy" or "Laysa biqawiy" who denies the credibility of a narrator or denies it totally. However, based on preliminary observations of the author on the application of Abu Hatim when interacting with the phrase, he was seen as literally defying its use. The author also found no studies that reveal the following fundamental questions: Does Abu Hatim adopt the phrase literally or his use is across the border of the apparent understanding? Does his decision in using this phrase conflicts with other hadith scholars or in line with their assessment? Is the hypothesis that he was a stern critic (mutasyaddid) true? How accurate is his assessment in applying those terms? This study aims to reveal in detail the methodology of Abu Hatim in applying the phrase: "Laysa bidzak al-qawiy" to the narrators who have been criticized by him and compare it with the assessments of other evaluators of narrators and subsequent findings by the standards of al-Jarh and al-Ta'dil. The result is very important to understand the utterance-words of Abu Hatim, which certainly have an impact on the assessment of hadith narrators, and at the same time the assessment of hadith which is the ultimate goals of al-Jarh and al-Ta'dil.

The researcher came up with two kinds of authentication: memorizing by the hearth and by writing, especially the Sahaba were known for their distinguished ability in memorization. This distinguished ability can be ascribed to different reasons; some of them are related to their own mental abilities, others ascribed to their closeness to the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him and time and place (era). They (companions of the Prophet peace be upon him) memorized Al-hadith thoroughly, and they told these Hadith to the people carefully and rigorously. Over time, this has given the future researchers in Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) Hadiths' science the confidence and convenience in depending on the narrations in terms of the chain and its initiation where the revisionists and skeptics are paying attention.

Islam teaches its adherents to practice the noblest forms of ethics and morality called Akhlak. Akhlak or Islamic ethics and morality provide peace in human life, whether to an individual or the community and portray the image of Islam as a religion of mercy for all. However, in the context of UiTM students where Malay Muslims are the majority, the rise in problems related to unethical behaviors among them poses an important question, what do the Malay Muslims in Malaysia understand about being a Muslim? What are their beliefs about the purpose of professing the Islamic faith? By taking a group of UiTM students who are largely composed of Malay Muslims, this study analyses their level of belief regarding the purpose of religion. A total of 1313 students from all UiTM branches in Peninsular Malaysia were selected as respondents through the group strata sampling technique. Data from the questionnaire were analyzed using SPSS (Version 12.0). Frequencies, percentages, and means were reported for each sub-construct. The study concludes that students’ belief about the purpose of religion is still tied to aspects of cultural, ritual and customs. Hence, the inculcation of students’ belief in religion should be reinforced by the understanding of the basic essentials of Islam and the Unity of God (Tawhid) so that students recognise and acknowledges with certainty that the purpose of religion is to accomplish the goal of creation and to realise the original covenant entered with Allah SWT in the day of alastu. Belief in the purpose of religion should be linked to the goals of creation and to the covenant made.

Poetry gained a very important position and was highly regarded by the Arabs in particular, especially linguists, writers and critics in particular. This study will discuss about the importance of poetry and its role in interpretation of Al Quran. Poetry has become one of the tools used as arguments and evidences by most interpreters when interpreting the Quran. The use of poetry as support in understanding the Quranic verses have begun since the time of the Companions RA. They refer to poetry in order to understand some letters and languages of al- Quran that was unclear to them. Interpreters such as Ibn Jarir al-Tabari, Abu Hayyan, Ibn Adel al-Hambali, al-Qurtubi and many others used poetry as arguments and evidences in explaining the meaning of the verse or supporting their opinions in terms of language, jurisprudence and belief. This study will display the methods used by the interpreters in presenting the arguments of the poems through the example from Ibn Adel al-Hambali's book "al-Lubab Fi Ulum al-Kitab". Therefore, it is hoped that this study will provide a clearer understanding of the use of poetry as a tool that plays a very important role in supporting the understanding of the Quran and even the Sunnah.

The "ilmu al waqf wal ibtida" has received great attention from Muslim scholars - past and present - so they have written many works on different approaches to it. Some of them wrote and took care of the ahkam or rules of the waqf and ibtida with the head and middle verses of the Qur’an separately. And some of them made it a chapter for their books, and explained the rules of waqf and ibtida and their types, with examples of each of those rules and types. Those who reflect on these books find out that they were not agreed on the same terms in the waqf and ibtida and commencement, but for each writer have terms that he reliable. may be The terminology is the same but the purposes are different, while others may reflect this. These various terms may lead to confusion in understanding the ahkam of waqf and ibtida for the verse, especially for the initiators of these books, so they mistook the ahkm of waqf and ibtida for the verses. This study attempted to raise this terminological complexity between these books, by describing what is meant by each of the terms waqf and ibtida used in books of waqf and ibtida, and then compare and measure them on the scale of the divisions of the majority of scholars of this field. In order to achieve these goals, the study chose some of the basic sources in this field, namely "idahul waqf wal ibtida" by Anbari, and al katu wa al iitinaf by nuhas, and Manar Al Huda fi bayan al waqf wa al- ibtida by al-Ashmuni to serve as a model for this study. One of the important results of this study is that some of these terms are agreed in both terms and purposes together, just as others are agreed in terms, but its purposes are different. The study also discovered that some of these terms are intertwined with each other.
حفظ الحياة في ضوء الشريعة الإسلامية والإعلان العالمي لحقوق الإنسان: دراسة مقارنة
Authors: Al-Sindi Shawkat Zein Abidin Mohamed
Published: February 2021

يهدف هذا البحث لبيان أوجه الاتفاق والاختلاف بين الشريعة الإسلامية والإعلان العالمي لحقوق الإنسان، فالإسلام يسبق كل الشرائع والقوانين منذ أكثر من أربعة عشر قرنًا من الزمان مضت في احترامه لحقوق الإنسان وآدميته بوصفه إنسانًا، حيث جاء التشريع الإسلامي بحق حفظ حياة الإنسان لأنه بنيان الله تعالى في الأرض، وحقه في الحياة الكريمة، والذي ينطلق من تكريم الله للإنسان واستخلافه في الأرض، كما أن الإسلام يؤكد على البعد الإلهي في هذه الحقوق ويعتمد على الوجدان الفردي وإيمان المسلم في تطبيق هذه الحقوق على أرض الواقع، وفق مبدأ الواجب يجب أن يطاع، والمنهي يجب أن يترك، ومن هنا فإن الشريعة الإسلامية  حرمت الإنتحار واعتبرته جريمة يعاقب صاحبها أشد العقاب في الآخرة، لأن الحياة ليست ملكًا لصاحبها، فهي هبة من الله تعالى للإنسان. إن الشريعة الإسلامية قد كفلت حق الحياة لجميع الناس دون تمييز أو تفرقة بين البشر، وتعمل على حماية هذا الحق من كل اعتداء،  وهو حق مقدس لا يحل انتهاك حرمته ولا استباحته لأن المحافظة على الحياة من الضروريات التي أمرت بها الشريعة الإسلامية، حتى الجنين في بطن أمه حفظ الله له الحق في الحياة، وأن أحكام ومقاصد من القرآن الكريم والسنة النبوية جاءت من أجل حماية حياة الإنسان والحفاظ عليها، وأعطتها الأولوية على غيرها. فالإسلام يأمر معتنقيه بإحترام الحياة الإنسانية غاية الإحترام، وليس من حق أي الإنسان أن يعتدي عليها أو يصيبها بسوء لأي حجة أو سبب أو عذر. خلافا لما يحصل اليوم من هدر لهذا الحق. وفي الإعلان العالمي لحقوق الإنسان، حفظ الحياة حق لكل البشر، ولا يدور حوله جدال. بل على الإنسان أن يحافظ على حياته ويصونها. واتبعت الدارس المنهج المقارن في كتابة هذا البحث، وتوصل الباحث إلى نتائج منها: جاءت أحكام وتشريعات الإسلام من أجل رعاية الإنسان وحقوقه الطبيعية، منها حق الحياة، وهي لكل فرد من البشر،لأنه لاقيام لحياة الناس بدونه، ويعد الإعلان العالمي لحقوق الإنسان الركيزة الأساسية لحقوق الإنسان، وبناء عالم جديد. على أسس العدل والسلام والحرية والمساواة بين جميع الشعوب والأمم، وفي المقارنة لبيان أوجه الشبه والفرق بينهما  تبين أن هناك من أوجه الشبه بينهما منها: الحياة هبة من الله، فلا يجوز إزهاق روح دون مقتضًى الحق والقانون. ويحرم اللجوء إلى وسائل تفضي إلي إفناء النوع البشري، سواء بدوافع  عقائدية، أو آراء فكرية منحرفة. ومن أوجه الفرق بينهما منها: أن لائحة حقوق الإنسان بصياغتها العالمية لم يمض على ولادتها سوى نصف قرن وقد تم الاعلان عنها عقيب الحرب العالمية الثانية والإسلام سبقها بقرون.

This research tends to discuss on the feminist exegesis, a method which is emerging in the field of current discourse. It proposes new type of interpretations that prone to deconstruct the classical scholars' exegesis which are perceived as misogynistic and at the same time tends to propose and reconstruct a gender-friendly interpretation. In order to obtain those objectives, some example of exegetical works, range from the medieval and contemporary exegeses, from the traditionalists to the feminists' streams of exegeses being selected and compared. This analysis based on the issue of women's inheritance rights. Result from this research shows that there are divergences between both exegetical streams due to the differences in their exegetical methodologies that are being adopted. Although feminist exegesis method tries to present the new interpretation within the gender-equal orientation, but their methodology does not consider the authentic discipline of the Quran exegesis.
