Evaluation of the Prospects of Using Solar Thermal air-Conditioning Systems in Saudi Arabia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Saudi Arabia is endowed with abundant solar energy which is readily available from the sun. Solar energy is one of main renewable energy sources and it can be harnessed for an array of applications including heating, cooling and generation of electricity. Due to its hot climate and relatively high purchasing power capability of the general populati

Analysis of Rain Fade Mitigation Using Site Diversity on earth-To-satellite Microwave Links at ku-Band
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Rain is the major challenge to design reliable earth to satellite microwave link at higher frequencies in tropical regions. Site diversity is one of the techniques used to mitigate this problem. Hodge Site Diversity Gain Model, ITU-R Site Diversity Gain Model and ITU-R Diversity Improvement Factor Model are analyzed based on rainfall data measured

Comparative Analysis of Upward/downward Filtration and Expression Using a Consolidation Cell
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Filtration behavior is influenced by particle settling in a slurry. In a downward filtration, an additional cake derived from settling particles increases filtration resistance. In an upward filtration, on the other hand, the particle settling leads to dilute the slurry near the filter medium, resulting in a decrease of filtration resistance. Irita

Sex Reassignment Technology: the Dilemma of Transsexuals in Islam and Christianity
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The birth of people with confused or ambiguous sex makeup as a biological fact since the annals of history has posed the challenge of accommodating them within the binary gender of sociocultural systems. In this process, the role of religion as a defining factor in social engineering has been paramount. Major religions, such as Islam and Christiani

Reproductive Technology: a Critical Analysis of Theological Responses in Christianity and Islam
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Reproductive medical technology has revolutionized the natural order of human procreation. Accordingly, some have celebrated its advent as a new and liberating determinant of kinship at the global level and advocate it as a right to reproductive health while others have frowned upon it as a vehicle for “guiltless exchange of sexual fluid” and c

Nusantara and Islam: a Study of the History and Challengesin the Preservation of Faith and Identity
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Background: Nusantara or the Malay Archipelago is the general term used to refer to the populace of Malays living in many parts of Southeast Asia, stretching from Vietnam, Cambodia, to Southern Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Brunei and Southern Philippines. Objective: This paper attempts to shed light on the history and challenges the Ma

The Spread of Islam in India and Southeast Asia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The ancient maritime trading links enabled by the seasonal monsoons between East Africa and China, via the Arabian, Indian and Southeast Asian ports, have played an important but overlooked role in the history of human civilization. The coastal regions of the Indian Ocean represent a cosmopolitan blend of social and cultural diversity enriched main

Tax Complexities in the Malaysian Corporate Tax System: Minimise to Maximise
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Purpose – This paper aims to examine areas of tax difficulties encountered by corporate taxpayers in complying with tax obligations under the self-assessment system. Design/methodology/approach – A two-phase exploratory mixed methods approach was employed. The first phase involves eight focus group interviews with 60 tax auditors from the Inlan

Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The Mongol invasions of Central Asia were the greatest catastrophe in the history of Islamic civilization, laying waste to the global centre of intellectual achievement during the 11th to 13th centuries. The classical Islamic civilization of the dawlatayn (Umayyad and Abbasid dynasties) had continued in one form or another into the early 12th centu

Surface Quality of High Speed Milling of Silicon Carbide by Using Diamond Coated Tool
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The high speed milling of silicon carbide was discussed by using flat end-mill 2 mm in diameter diamond coated tool. Ultra-precision high speed spindle attachment was used to achieve cutting tool rotation speed as high as 50,000 rpm. Special fixture was designed to minimize the chatter on work-piece surface during the machining process. Three cutti
