Abstract

Child rearing serves as the fundamental cornerstone of Islamic social development. A parent's primary responsibility involves nurturing faith, character, emotions, and intellect from early childhood, shaping children under the framework of religious guidance. However, in the contemporary era, parents encounter a multitude of complex challenges. Factors such as the influence of external global cultures, the pervasive impact of the digital world, diminishing parent-child communication, workplace stress, and economic constraints have created significant hurdles in the practice of effective parenting. Using a theoretical approach, this study examines the challenges faced by parents in child rearing through the lens of Islamic guidance. The methodology involves a qualitative analysis of primary sources, namely the Holy Qur'an and Sunnah, supplemented by secondary data including research articles, books, journals, and academic web resources. The primary objective of this research is to identify the specific obstacles parents encounter in the upbringing of their children. The findings reveal that parents grapple with challenges such as a lack of parenting experience, daily work-related stress, inflexible lifestyles, and the demanding nature of the long-term investment required for a child's future. The study concludes that adhering to Islamic principles and guidance in child rearing effectively reduces parental stress and provides an optimal framework for cultivating a healthy, responsible, and God-conscious generation.

Abstract

This research examines the concept of the Hijab (veil) from both Quranic and scholarly perspectives, with a particular focus on its role in promoting justice and equity. Utilizing a qualitative research methodology, the study draws on primary sources, including key Quranic verses such as Surah An-Nur (24:31) and Surah Al-Ahzab (33:59), which provide foundational principles regarding modesty, dignity, and ethical conduct. Secondary sources, including books, journal articles, and online publications, are analyzed to contextualize scholarly interpretations and explore the broader significance of the Hijab.An interpretive research approach is employed to uncover the multifaceted meanings of the Hijab as a spiritual, social, and ethical practice. Classical and contemporary Islamic scholars’ perspectives are critically examined to highlight the Hijab’s dual function as a personal act of devotion and a societal symbol of identity and respect. The findings demonstrate that the Hijab is deeply rooted in Islamic teachings, reflecting principles of justice, equity, and mutual respect. Furthermore, the study addresses prevalent misconceptions about the Hijab and its association with gender roles, illustrating its broader implications within Islamic thought. This research contributes to a nuanced understanding of the Hijab, emphasizing its enduring relevance and its role in fostering justice and equity within contemporary Muslim societies.

Abstract

This research paper seeks to explore the mental health issues faced by Muslim women on employment and the causal factors of such issues. Particularly, the study was carried out by taking into account the numerous psychological issues of the working Muslim women in the Sammanthurai area belonging to their family, social and professional setup. According to the existing body of literature, we have determined that religious discrimination, restrictions of the dress code, conflicts between work and family, and cultural pressures are some of the key factors that influence the mental stress and psychological well-being of women.In this research, a qualitative research method was used with a phenomenological research design in order to focus on the lived experiences. The participants were 25 working Muslim women in the region of Sammanthurai that has been selected in the purposive sampling technique. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect primary data and secondary data were collected in the past researches, books and journals on the same topic. A manual coding process was used to analyze the data collected by using the thematic analysis. The proper ethical procedures and standards were adhered to to maintain reliability and validity of the research results.The results of the research suggest that the mental issues experienced by the working women who are Muslims do not have the same cause. Rather, they are products of a complex interrelationship of factors, such as work-related, family, socio-cultural and personal factors and educational/career-related problems, religious identity-related pressures, as well as safety issues. This underlines the importance of the socio-cultural context of Sammanthurai region in influencing the psychological status of women. In the end this study highlights that psychological issues among working Muslim women is a complex phenomenon that is formed as a result of several overlapping variables.
