Objectivity and the Scientific Study of Religion
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The concern for and the debate on “objectivity” in the scientific study of religions led scholars to advocate two major approaches known as “History of Religion” and “Phenomenology of Religion.” Both approaches are claimed to be “descriptive” and “value-free” as they stringently enforce the principle of epochê or distanciation

Influence of Thermal Conductivity Cf Electrodes on Edm Process Parameters
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Electrical Discharge machining (EDM) is a thermal process in which sparks discharging with high energy density at high temperatures are used to melt and evaporate a small amount of workpiece. Under this condition, both the cutting tool (electrode) and the workpiece are subjected to very intensive heat energy generated in the system, and thus implyi

Dynamic Nonlinear inverse-Model Based Control of a Twin Rotor System Using Adaptive neuro-Fuzzy Inference System
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A dynamic control system design has been a great demand in the control engineering community, with many applications particularly in the field of flight control. This paper presents investigations into the development of a dynamic nonlinear inverse-model based control of a twin rotor multi-input multi-output system (TRMS). The TRMS is an aerodynami

Pid Controller Design for a Twin Rotor Mimo System Using Real Coded Ga Optimisation
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper presents a scrutinized investigation to control the rigid body motion of a laboratory scale helicopter, a twin rotor multi input multi output system (TRMS), using PID control. The controller is optimized using a real-coded genetic algorithm (GA). Instead of working on the conventional bit by bit operation in binary coded GA, both the cro

Surface Modification by Edm Using co-Cr Sintered Powder Metallurgy Electrod
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In this investigation, the powder metallurgy (PM) electrode developed from cobalt (Co)and chromium (Cr) powders was used in electrical discharge machining (EDM). This new Co-Cr sintered electrode was used to machine mild steel workpiece with kerosene dielectric fluid. The main objective is to modify its surface characteristics and secure increased

Belief in and Concept of Predestination: a Critical Analysis from Islamic Perspective
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Muslims are lagging behind in many areas in the today’s world. One main reason for that is the concept of and belief in Predestination. This concept of and belief in Predestination is consequent upon interpretation of certain verses in the Qur’an and certain sayings of the Last Prophet (s.a.w.). Eleven verses from the Qur’an and five traditio

Arguments for Abrogation in the Qur'an: a Critique
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Many Muslim scholars such as Abu ‘Ubayd (d.224 A.H.), al-Nahhaas (d.377 A.H.), Makki (d.437 A.H.), Ibn al-‘Arabi (d543 A.H.), ibn al-Jawzi (d.597 A.H.), al-Zarkashi (d.794 A.H.), al-Suyuti (d.911 A.H.), al-Dehlawi (d.1176 A.H.), and al-Zurqani (d.1948 C.E.) have aggressively argued that some verses—ranging from five hundred to only five—of

Surface Modification of Work Material Using Powder Metallurgey (P/m) Compacted Electrodes During Electric Discharge Machining (Edm)
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Powder metallurgy (P/M) electrodes are additional innovation in the operation of electrical discharge machining (EDM). In this process the EDM cutting tool is produced from powders by the P/M compaction method. This research project aims to develop the P/M compacted electrodes from powders and used them to modify the surfaces of the work materials.

Diagnostic Accuracy of loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (Lamp) for Detection of Leishmania Dna in Buffy Coat from Visceral Leishmaniasis Patients
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Background: Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) remains as one of the most neglected tropical diseases with over 60% of the world’s total VL cases occurring in the Indian subcontinent. Due to the invasive risky procedure and technical expertise required in the classical parasitological diagnosis, the goal of the VL experts has been to develop noninvasive

Enhancing the Efficiency of Polymerase Chain Reaction Using Graphene Nanoflakes
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The effect of the recently developed graphene nanoflakes (GNFs) on the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has been investigated in this paper. The rationale behind the use of GNFs is their unique physical and thermal properties. Experiments show that GNFs can enhance the thermal conductivity of base fluids and results also revealed that GNFs are a pot
