Abstract

The study of Quranic exegesis in Malaysia has witnessed significant developments. However, various challenges persist, particularly in the form of misinterpretations. Identifying these misinterpretations is crucial to fostering accurate understanding and addressing contemporary issues effectively. This research explores the current realities and challenges in Quranic exegesis in Malaysia, identifies the forms of misinterpretations, and anticipates future directions to ensure accurate and contextually relevant interpretations of Quranic verses. This study reviews prominent Malaysian exegetical works, such as al-Bayan Pada Ta'wil Ayat-Ayat al-Quran by Abdul Aziz bin Salam, Khulasah al-Qur'an by Maulana Noh, and Pedoman Muttaqin by Abdul Hayei Abdul Syukur. Additionally, it references classical and contemporary commentaries by Muslim exegetes, including Ibn Kathir, Al-Shawkani, Al-Tabari, Al-Maraghi, Ibn Atiyyah, and Tafsir al-Misbah by Muhammad Quraish Shihab. Using a qualitative library approach, the study identifies and analyzes data from relevant sources through thematic analysis. Key themes include deviant interpretations, material constraints, lack of expertise in exegesis, and the influence of social and political factors on Quranic studies. The findings reveal that the development of Quranic exegesis in Malaysia was initially influenced by the reformative efforts of al-Azhari scholars in Egypt, pioneered by Shaykh Muhammad Abduh and further advanced by his disciples, such as Shaykh Mustafa al-Maraghi and Sayyid Muhammad Rashid Rida. Exegetical studies in Malaysia encompass traditional, scientific, and thematic approaches. Despite these advancements, challenges remain, including the misuse of Quranic interpretations for political purposes and rational interpretations by social groups such as LGBT activists, feminist movements, and figures like Kasim Ahmad, who oppose the Prophet's traditions (PBUH). These challenges stem from inappropriate methodologies, extreme ideologies, and rationalist perspectives that deviate from sound exegetical principles. This research concludes that an integrated and unified approach is needed to strengthen the methodologies of Quranic exegesis. Such efforts are essential to ensure interpretations that are not only accurate and relevant to contemporary contexts but also adhere to proper exegetical principles.

Abstract

The Israeli government has been invading and demolishing Palestinian houses in the occupied territories of Jerusalem from the outset of 1948 to date. The Israeli government’s reasons for doing so are critical to analyze, which is the article's primary purpose. This article used a descriptive approach to gather data to describe the reasons for doing such demolition. The researchers investigated, identified, and critically analyzed the frequent actions of Palestinian house demolition based on the collected data, where the qualitative method becomes the data analysis methodology. The finding reveals that, according to the Israeli government, their main reason for demolishing Palestinian houses was because they were constructed illegally without residential permits. However, the finding exposes that these claims are not justifiable; instead, the precise reason for the demolition of Palestinian houses by the Israeli government is only to evict the Palestinians from their occupied territories in Jerusalem. This also violated the position of international law and human rights, which called upon the Israeli government to allocate land to the Palestinian people. This article, therefore, recommends that more research be conducted to expose the unjustifiable actions of the Israeli government.

Abstract

Matrimonial Incorporeal Injury (MII) refers to non-physical harm experienced within marriage, including verbal abuse, cruelty, neglect of maintenance, sexual deprivation, abandonment, and coercive control, all of which undermine the rights and well-being of spouses under Islamic law. Although these forms of harm are recognized within the Shariʿa legal framework, litigants often face significant evidentiary and procedural barriers in seeking legal remedies, especially in cases occurring within the private domain of marital relationships. This study evaluates judicial responses to MII in the Shariʿa courts of Kano State, Nigeria, and offers comparative reflections drawn from Malaysian practice to assess the effectiveness of the existing legal mechanisms. The study aims to evaluate the response of the Shariʿa courts in Kano State to MII cases, identify challenges in the evidentiary procedures, and compare them with the practices of Shariʿa courts in Malaysia. It also seeks to propose procedural reforms that can enhance the effectiveness of Shariʿa courts in handling MII cases. The research employs a qualitative design with a case study approach. Data is collected through the analysis of 30 cases filed in the Shariʿa Courts, Upper Shariʿa Courts, and Shariʿa Courts of Appeal in Kano from 2011 to the present. Additionally, the study compares the practices of Shariʿa courts in Kano with those in Malaysia, which are more responsive to indirect evidence such as medical and psychological reports. The findings of this study reveal that the Shariʿa courts in Kano face difficulties in handling MII cases due to burdensome evidentiary procedures and a reliance on direct evidence, which often fails to meet the needs of the victims. The comparison with Malaysian Shariʿa courts shows significant differences in responsiveness to indirect evidence, which allows victims to obtain justice more effectively. This study contributes significantly to the development of Islamic family law, particularly in the context of Shariʿa courts in Kano. By identifying the shortcomings in existing judicial procedures, the research proposes solutions to improve access to justice for MII victims, particularly women. Additionally, the comparison with Malaysia provides useful perspectives for procedural reforms that can be applied in Nigeria. These reforms are expected to improve the Shariʿa court system to offer more just and equitable protection for victims of MII.

Abstract

Inclusive education in Indonesia continues to face implementation gaps, especially in teacher capacity, accessibility, and stakeholder participation. This study evaluated the management of an inclusive education program in an anonymized elementary school in Metro City, Lampung Province, using the Context–Input–Process–Product (CIPP) model. A qualitative evaluative case study was conducted over approximately four weeks, drawing on classroom and school observations (around six sessions across three grade levels), semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders (n≈12), and document analysis (planning, budgeting, curriculum, supervision, and student learning records). Contextual conditions were supportive, reflected in community demand for non-discriminatory access, policy alignment, and a peer-supportive school culture. Inputs were partly adequate: teachers showed strong commitment and used the flexibility of the Merdeka Curriculum, but technical capacity for adaptive assessment and individualized planning varied, while accessibility features and specialized learning supports remained limited. Implementation was generally consistent through differentiated, child-friendly instruction, peer-support routines, and reflective supervision, although time constraints and uneven family engagement reduced the consistency of individualized support. Outcomes were most evident in socio-emotional development and participation; academic progress was reported but not consistently documented across classes. Strengthening routine individualized planning and progress monitoring, focused technical development for teachers, and more stable resourcing and partnerships are needed to sustain improvements.
