The purpose of this article is to analyze the experience of the Employees’ Provident Fund or EPF in the management of the Shariah Fund and the jurisprudential adaptation of its activities and investments. This article selects the EPF in Malaysia as a model for analysis as a successful financial project. This article uses both inductive and analyt

The study sets out to make evident the existences of segmentation of the Islamic finance body of knowledge (BOK). The segmentation results from the combination of dependency of Islamic finance researchers on google and using Islamic finance terms (IFTs) as search keywords. The study defines Islamic finance terminology as the Arabic/Islamic terms un

In this study, osmium catalysts (Os/Bentonite, Os/TiO2 ) and ruthenium catalysts (Ru/Bentonite, Ru/TiO2 ) with 5% wt/wt metal loading were prepared using impregnation method and applied to convert glycerol, a renewable feedstock, to value-added chemical, 1,2-propanediol. Among these catalysts, the bentonite supported Os catalyst showed high perform

Rapid urbanisation and the increase in population has led to massive use of underground spaces, especially in the city. Before an underground structure is built, the use of retaining structure is crucial in order to prevent the excavation from failure. Diaphragm wall is a widely used retaining structure, particularly for deep excavation. A holistic

In this research, an attempt is made to characterise qualitatively the stability and dynamics of an inclined thin liquid film under the influence of instabilities due to thermo-capillarity and evaporative effects as well as van der Waals intermolecular forces, by employing the implicit finite difference method. The results are compared with solutio

Rip currents are known as greatest beach hazard and coastal drowning incident to swimmer, bather and public. Due to lack of continuous report incident in this country make it difficult to get the exact number of rip current related drowning death and rescue occurring along coastal zone. This study examined fatalities and rescued due to rip current

A numerical simulation has been carried out to investigate the aerodynamics of an oscillating delta wing and to evaluate the flow structure over the leading edge at different low Reynolds numbers. The numerical results of the coefficient of lift (CL) vs angle of attack are validated with the experimental results from the previous study. Effects of

Investment activity is a new added feature in takaful operations nowadays, departing from its original role: protection. The paper aims to examine the concept and mechanism of investment initiative undertaken by takaful operators (TOs). It also identifies some issues surrounding its practice, i.e Shari'ah, operational, and legal issues. The Sha

PENDAHULUAN Konsep takaful hadir sebagai alternatif dari asuransi konvensional yang diharamkan dalam Islam karena mengandung elemen riba, gharar (spekulasi) dan maysir (judi) . Berbeda dengan asura

The results of rain attenuation on terrestrial microwave links in a tropical climate has been reported in this paper. The results are presented in the form of rate of change of attenuation with respect to rain rate, denoted by S.R%p/. This is in turn used for predicting the expected rain attenuation at any %p of the time rain rate is exceeded in an
