Diseases of the Spiritual Heart as Root Causes of Moral Decay and Corruption of Justice Based on Imam al-Ghazali’s Analysis
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The paper argues based on the analysis of Imam Al-Ghazali that the major cause of moral decadence in the society today is as a result of non-purification of the diseases of the heart. It makes an analytical exposition of the term Ulu’l-Albab, i.e. men of Intellect as used by the Qur’an to show those men are of high moral standards. Thus, a puri

Oxygen Barrier Properties of New Thermoplastic Natural Rubber Nanocomposites
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Nanocomposites of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE)/ natural rubber (NR)/liquid natural rubber (LNR) blend denoted as TPNR with montmorillonite-based organoclay (OMMT) were prepared using melt blending method. The melt blending of LLDPE/NR/LNR with a composition of 70:20:10 formed blends. For better dispersion of nanoclay in the TPNR blend, M

Enhanced Tensile and Dynamic Mechanical Properties of Thermoplastic Natural Rubber Nanocomposites
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The melt compounding technique was employed to prepare thermoplastic natural rubber (TPNR) nanocomposites. The maleic anhydride grafted polyethylene (MA-PE) as a coupling agent was used to improve the filler-matrix interfacial adhesion. TPNR were prepared in the ratio of (70:20:10) from linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), natural rubber (NR) a

Color Detection Using non-Target Reflectivity Plastic Optical Fiber Displacement Sensor
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A simple plastic optical fiber displacement sensor has been demonstrated as a non-contact color detection device. The sensitivity of the sensor is 0.0228, 0.1718, 0.1122, 0.106, and 0.1267 mW/mm for black, blue, green, red, and white, respectively. The experimental results prove that as the color changes from dark to bright, the peak output power i

Behavioral Problems of the hearing-Impaired Students in the Sultanate of Oman: Teachers Perspective Study = المشكلات السلوكية للطلبة المعاقين سمعيا من وجهة نظر معلميهم في سلطنة عمان
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This quantitative study discusses the level of behavioral problems of the hearing impaired from the viewpoint of their teachers in the Sultanate of Oman, and the problem lies in the loss of this category of hearing sense or its presence in a simple manner, which leads to difficulty in communication and interaction with those around the hearing impa

Quantifying Spatial Variability of Soil and Leaf Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potassium of Basal Stem Rot Infected Oil Palms Using Geospatial Information System
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Basal stem rot disease (BSR) is known to be responsible for yield losses in oil palm plantations in South- east Asia. A balance nutrient in soil and leaf is known to improve the plant health and disease resistance. In order to observe how nitrogen (N), potassium (P) and phosphorus (K) content in soil and leaf affect the BSR occurrence, a field stud

cosmo-Rs Based Prediction for aalpha-Linolenic Acid (Ala) Extraction from Microalgae Biomass Using Room Temperature Ionic Liquids (Rtils)
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

One of the essential fatty acids with therapeutic impacts on human health is known to be omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). More lately, ionic liquids (ILs) have received significant attention among scientists in overcoming the disadvantages of traditional solvents in biomass lipid extraction. However, the large pool of cations and anions

Comparative Study on the Performance of Zta Cutting Tool with the Addition of Different Particle Size of Mgo Additive
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper investigated the performance of ZTA cutting tool with the addition of different particle size of MgO additive. Therefore, the objective of this research is to compare the effects of machining parameters on tool wears of ZTA cutting tools added with micro and nanoparticle of MgO. The experiments were conducted using BridgePort-Romi Powerp

A Preliminary Checklist of Ficus L. Species in Kuantan, Pahang
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Ficus is the largest genus in the Moraceae family, with more than 700 species worldwide. It was classified into a distinct genus based on the unique nature of its inflorescence. Until recently, there was no official record of the Ficus checklist in Kuantan, Pahang. Therefore, this study aims to develop the preliminary checklist of Ficus species in

Religious Tourism and Mass Religious Gatherings — the Potential Link in the Spread of Covid-19. Current Perspective and Future Implications
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

COVID-19 has exposed the fragility and preparedness of healthcare systems around the globe. Various countries have widely adopted preventive measures, such as social distancing, face masks, frequent hand wash/sanitizer and lock downs. The pandemic with shifting epicentres from Wuhan to Iran and Italy presents two relevant questions for any next out
