Abstract The paper addresses the practical approach of the rightly guided caliph Umar ibn Abd Al-Aziz. Its emphasis is on the unique and successful methods used by this exceptional leader. He led the Muslim community with justice and this in itself helped regain the prestige of the Muslim land as a healthy, successful and peaceful society. The refo

In this study, the effect of polymer composition on physicochemical characteristics of fish oil microcapsules produced by spray drying (180 °C) was investigated. Fish oil powders were produced using hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) 15 cP and HPMC 5 cP as a solid carrier and PEG 6000 as a plasticizer. The ratio of the polymer to the lipid pha

This paper addresses the law of inheritance detailed in the Book of Allah, the Qur’an. It is about a system that Allah took complete responsibility of its explanation in detail. This is different from the norm, whereby Allah gives the general ruling and its details or explanation will be given by the Prophet (sal-Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam). Th

Loneliness, anxiety and depression are common problems for older adults in long-term care. Reminiscence therapy is a non-pharmacological intervention that may be of some benefit. In comparison to individual reminiscence therapy, group reminiscence therapy is a preferred option when dealing with the resource constraints of long-term care. The aim of

Acknowledging the progressive globalisation trend within the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry, transdisciplinary education and training is now widely acknowledged as being one of the key factors for leveraging AEC organisational success. Conventional AEC education and training delivery approaches therefore need a paradigm

This research investigates the use of mobile technology namely the smart hand phone in developing instructional video project for language learning. The purpose of this study is to analyse students’ creativity and cognitive engagement when developing instructional video through the use of smart hand phone. Firstly, the research attempts to addres

Recently there have been numerous studies exploring the benefits of the coalition formation in a cognitive radio network and it has been shown that coalition formation tends to improve the performance of cognitive radios. In this paper, we use the concepts from matching theory to form coalitions among cognitive radio users for cooperative spectrum

The manufacturing of furniture using rattan is becoming common nowadays, and creates high amount of waste that can be value-added into binderless particleboards (BPB). In order to determine the suitability of the rattan waste for production of BPB, characterization of rattan waste is executed and reported in this paper. The physical properties such

The combined effect of moisture and temperature on the bending behaviour of simply supported cross ply composite laminated shells has been investigated. A 13 term accurate higher order shear deformation theory with zigzag function is used in this analysis in which the effects of transverse shear deformation are taken into account. The results are p

The evolution of resistant microorganism towards available antibiotics has gain interest among scientists to search for more effective antimicrobial compounds. Plant is believe to have antimicrobial properties as the extract is used in food industry, pharmaceuticals and alternative medicine. The aims of this study are to isolate secondary metabolit
