Abstract

This study examines selected Malay Tibb medical manuscripts which namely MSS 813, MSS 845, MSS 1796, MSS 1820, MSS 1875, MSS 1923, MSS 2468(D), and MSS 2483(G), as expressions of a traditional medical knowledge system shaped by Islamic principles and local experience. These manuscripts document herbal formulations, therapeutic practices, and spiritual elements that reflect an integrated understanding of physical and spiritual healing. The study focuses on three analytical dimensions: (i) Malay-Islamic civilizational values embedded in the transmission of medical knowledge, (ii) ethical principles governing medical practice, and (iii) ethical conceptions of health, culture, and spirituality that may be discussed in relation to contemporary human-rights discourse. Employing qualitative textual and thematic analysis, the study examines the selected manuscripts through the analytical framework of maqasid al-shari‘ah, with comparative reference to selected principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948). The findings suggest that Malay Tibb manuscripts function not merely as records of traditional medicine but as civilizational texts that integrate medical practice with ethical responsibility, cultural continuity, and spiritual awareness. Rather than projecting modern legal categories onto pre-modern texts, this study demonstrates how the ethical values embedded in these manuscripts resonate with contemporary discussions on access to healthcare, cultural sustainability, and human dignity. The article contributes to manuscript studies, medical humanities, and Islamic ethics by highlighting the relevance of Malay Tibb manuscripts for rethinking holistic and value-based approaches to health in plural and global contexts.

Abstract

Indigenous peoples are the ones most capable of determining whether a culture changes. Whether these communities can maintain their customs and traditions in an increasingly modern era will determine if that culture continues to survive. Despite this, in practice, Indigenous peoples are often treated as objects of tourism rather than as subjects or main actors. To address this challenge, an approach that respects participation and collective rights is needed to help Indigenous communities become successful participants in tourism. This research uses a normative legal method to explore possible solutions. Furthermore, tourism development must be grounded in a strong legal foundation, such as Law No. 39 of 1999 on Human Rights, Article 18B, paragraph (2), of the 1945 Constitution, and international principles such as UNDRIP, to protect the rights of Indigenous peoples. With these legal protections and if implemented properly, tourism can serve as a tool for empowerment and cultural preservation through harmonized regulations, meaningful participation, and the active role of Indigenous communities.

Abstract

Changes to Indonesia's licensing system through Law Number 11 of 2020 and Government Regulation Number 28 of 2025 have improved government efficiency and digitalization. However, these changes have not adequately addressed inclusion and the rights of indigenous peoples. This study aims to explore innovations in licensing regulations to protect indigenous rights through three main approaches: procedural, substantive, and institutional innovation.  Procedural innovation involves indigenous communities in public consultations, in line with the principle of Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC). Substance innovation calls for integrating customary law and local wisdom into regulations, aligning state law with local practices. Institutional innovation seeks to strengthen cooperation between the government and indigenous institutions to address licensing issues. The findings suggest that inclusive licensing promotes social legitimacy, ecological justice, and culturally based sustainable development. Thus, recognizing customary law is crucial for developing fair governance that reflects local wisdom.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic that struck globally has led to a sharp increase in mortality rates and significantly impacted various aspects of life in Malaysia. To curb the spread of the virus, the Malaysian government implemented the Movement Control Order (MCO), which altered many dimensions of daily living, including religious practices. This situation also influenced changes and variations in the fatwas issued by different fatwa institutions across Malaysia. This study examines the dynamics of change and divergence in fatwas related to acts of worship across Malaysian states during the pandemic, particularly regarding Friday and congregational prayers, row distancing in congregational prayers (saf), and the practice of face mask use. Employing a qualitative approach, the research draws on secondary data from official documents, literature reviews, and the official websites of religious authorities. The findings reveal that variations in fatwas across states were influenced by social and demographic factors, as well as differences in the administrative jurisdictions of religious institutions. These changes, however, were made in accordance with Islamic legal principles to uphold the maqāṣid al-sharī’ah, particularly the preservation of life. This aligns with key legal maxims such as lā ḍarar wa lā ḍirār and al-masyaqqah tajlibu al-taisīr. The study concludes that fatwa adaptations issued during the COVID-19 pandemic were prudent and reflect the flexibility and wisdom of Islamic law in addressing contemporary emergencies. Therefore, it is recommended that Malaysia’s experiences during the pandemic be systematically documented and analyzed as a foundation for developing comprehensive guidelines and frameworks for future fatwa and ijtihad responses to potential public health crises.

Abstract

The essence of labor law is to protect workers from arbitrary employer actions. This employment relationship is interdependent, where business entities require workers for operations, while workers depend on wages. Therefore, the rights and responsibilities of both parties, the company and the workers, need to be kept in balance. One fundamental worker right is protection consistent with religious principles, humanity, Pancasila, and the State's goals, as enshrined in the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia (UUD1945). This protection aims to guarantee workers' basic rights, equal opportunity, and the prevention of discrimination, in order to realize the welfare of workers and their families. However, business development and the interests of business actors must not be ignored. Legal instruments for upholding workers' rights include specific regulations, such as Law Number 13 of 2003 of the Republic of Indonesia concerning Manpower. This research employs a normative juridical method to examine the role of law in safeguarding human rights in the workplace.

Abstract

The digitalization of Indonesia’s judiciary has generated new ethical challenges for the legal profession, particularly in relation to access and use of electronic evidence. Key concerns include potential breaches of data confidentiality, manipulation of digital evidence, and the absence of clear ethical standards governing advocates in e-court proceedings. Current procedural law and the advocates’ code of ethics do not adequately address the complexities of electronic evidence, which inevitably raise issues of privacy, cybersecurity, and procedural justice. This study aims to examine the ethical dilemmas faced by lawyers in digital litigation in Indonesia and to formulate both normative and institutional solutions to strengthen professional accountability. Employing normative legal research in statutory, conceptual, and philosophical approaches, supported by case analysis involving evidence, the study highlights a regulatory gap in the advocates’ code of ethics and deficiencies in ethical oversight mechanisms. Missed leading in legal practices, especially in the electronic court, where everyone can access electronic evidence to support the need for regulation to protect electronic evidence in the electronic court. The findings suggest the need for reform through the incorporation of specific standards on electronic evidence within the code of ethics, enhancement of lawyers’ digital literacy, and establishment of technical guidelines by professional organizations and the Supreme Court.

Abstract

The Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) has gained widespread international recognition as a global framework for language education, extending far beyond its original European context. As part of this global trend, Malaysia has implemented a CEFR-aligned English language curriculum, requiring teachers to adapt their pedagogical practices to internationally benchmarked standards. The success of such large-scale curriculum reforms depends heavily on teachers’ knowledge, acceptance, and interpretations of the framework. While previous studies have examined CEFR implementation across various contexts, empirical research integrating teachers’ knowledge and perceptions through mixed-methods approaches remains limited, particularly in non-European settings. Employing an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design, this study investigates Malaysian primary school English teachers’ understanding of key CEFR components and their perceptions of their influence on classroom practice. Data were collected through questionnaires and semi-structured interviews, with quantitative data analyzed using descriptive statistics and qualitative data examined through thematic analysis. The findings reveal a notable discrepancy between teachers’ generally positive perceptions of the CEFR-aligned curriculum and their insufficient understanding of core CEFR concepts, including proficiency levels, descriptors, and underlying principles, despite having received formal training. This gap poses significant challenges for meaningful classroom implementation. By highlighting disconnect between policy intentions and teachers’ CEFR literacy, this study contributes to international discussions on CEFR adoption, teacher cognition, and curriculum reform. The findings underscore the need for sustained, conceptually oriented professional development and offer transferable insights for policymakers and educators in other contexts adopting CEFR-based frameworks.

Abstract

This study explores the role of social media videos in enhancing the teaching and learning of complex religious concepts within the Fiqh Ibadat elective course at Universiti Malaysia Terengganu. The course attracts students from diverse academic disciplines and varying levels of religious knowledge, which often limits the effectiveness of traditional teaching approaches. To address this challenge, the study employed a descriptive quantitative method using post-class feedback from 58 students. Findings revealed that 96.6% of students were already engaging with Fiqh Ibadat content on social media platforms such as YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram, indicating the existence of an informal learning ecosystem. After exposure to selected video content, 98.3% reported clearer understanding of complex topics, especially those related to daily practices, while 98.3% expressed stronger interest in Fiqh rulings. Additionally, 100% agreed that Fiqh studies became more relevant to real life through these resources. The results suggest that social media videos provide flexible, accessible, and practical support to classroom learning. Therefore, it is recommended that university lecturers integrate curated social media content as a complementary tool to traditional instruction for improved learning outcomes in Islamic education.

Abstract

The growth of the mining sector in Indonesia has contributed significantly to national economic development, but it has also imposed serious environmental externalities. In response, the central government has enacted policies such as downstreaming mandates, post-mining reclamation requirements, and the promotion of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles to promote green mining. This study evaluates the extent to which these policies embed sustainability principles and provide legitimate environmental protection in the mining sector. Using normative legal research, we analyze mining, environmental, and green mining regulations, supported by qualitative examination of policy implementation reports. We find that although sustainability dimensions are formally incorporated, policy execution faces major constraints: (1) downstreaming focuses heavily on economic interests with insufficient environmental controls, (2) reclamation obligations are often weakly supervised, and (3) ESG implementation remains voluntary, reducing legal certainty. We recommend stronger binding ESG regulation, integration of downstream policy with environmental instruments, and establishment of transparent oversight.

Abstract

The face-to-face Quranic study approach is a traditional method that emphasizes the accuracy of recitation and the preservation of the authenticity of Quranic knowledge through the principles of talaqqī and musyāfahah. However, advances in digital technology and changing learning norms have expanded the use of online Quranic study classes as an alternative to the traditional in-person method. Therefore, this study aims to assess and compare the effectiveness of online and physical Quranic study classes at El-Hidayah Islamic Academy in terms of Quran reading ability, teacher teaching methods, and class implementation. This study employs a quantitative approach via a survey of 140 students from both online and physical Quranic study classes. The research instruments include a structured questionnaire and an oral reading test, while the data is analyzed using descriptive statistics and independent t-tests. The findings show significant differences in Quran reading ability, particularly in aspects such as the pronunciation of hijaiyyah letters, correct Quranic recitation, and mastery of Tajweed rules, with students in the online Quranic study classes recording higher mean test scores. However, no significant differences were found in teacher teaching methods or class implementation between the two modes of learning. This study concludes that online Quranic study can be effectively implemented when supported by strong pedagogical guidance from teachers and systematic oral assessment practices. Therefore, a hybrid approach is proposed to combine the advantages of both online and physical learning, ensuring that the effectiveness of Quranic study remains in line with the principles of talaqqī and musyāfahah in contemporary Islamic education.
