This paper is critique of the Malaysian definition and punishment of statutory rape law in the Penal code from the Shariah sand point. It argues that the present statutory law is not only in line with the legal definition of adulthood from Shariah point but runs counter to its notion of criminal justice and philosophy of preventing sexual promiscui

This qualitative research studies postmodernism, postmodern culture and the postmodern mind in two novels written by diasporic Muslim writers: Mohja Kahf’s The Girl in the Tangerine Scarf (2009) and Mohsin Hamid’s The Reluctant Fundamentalist (2007). By focusing on postmodern elements, this book investigates the lives of immigrants who came fro

The Nobel laureate V. S. Naipaul (1932 –) has made extensive comments on Islam and its adherents in his two widely circulated travel writings, Among the Believers: An Islamic Journey (1981) and Beyond Belief: Islamic Excursions among the Converted Peoples (1998). These two works have triggered debates about his representation of Muslims, as it is

Studies on face-to-face interactions have demonstrated how spoken language involves not only verbal but also a mutual collaboration with nonverbal resources. Nonverbal such as gaze, gestures, body posture and physical movement are part and parcel of the details of ordered social interaction, and they can be significant resources in interaction (Haz

Nitride-based light emitting diodes (LEDs) is an attractive material due to its high temperature tolerance and suitable to be used in extreme environment. The irradiation process of Gallium Nitride (GaN) diode was carried out by electron irradiation with 1000 kGy and 1500 kGy doses with a conveyor speed of 50 kGy per pass. Capacitance-voltage (C-V)

Adherence to the medication and diabetes self-management are important in ensuring the successfulness of diabetes management. However, previous literature have reported on unsatisfactory rate of non-adherence among Type 2 diabetes patients. Quantitative studies on adherence may fail to understand the reason of non-adherence from the patients' p

This paper presents an investigation on flutter behaviour of composite plate with crack. This work is divided into two sections; (a) variation of crack length at a fix location on the plate, (b) variation of crack location on the plate with a fix crack length. The composite plate is modelled as unidirectional composite for 0°, 45° and 90° orient

This paper presents a new investigation on the computational modelling of crack and delamination on laminates composite. Extended Finite Element Model (XFEM) is used to model the transversal cracks (intralaminar) and delamination (interlaminar). The integration of fracture laws and constitutive equations are applied to assist the initiation of crac

Current discourse on methodologies of da’wah has focused on various areas, such as management, leadership and media but is lacking in dimensions of emotional and spiritual intelligence in delivering the message of Islam. This lack will contribute to confusion, hatred and finally the rejection of the message itself. Therefore, there is an urgent n

The intent of this paper is to summarize and analyze the data and experience earned from a practical implementation of online language learning approach specifically targeted to Qur’anic Arabic learning. The foundation of this work is based on the fact that in the current world, almost 80% of the Muslims are non-native speakers/users of Arabic la
