Medieval Muslim Scholars: Teachers, Missionaries and Theoreticians, Qādi al-Nu'mān as a Case Study
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

One distinct character of education in medieval Islam is the fact that teaching and learning activities were not regarded by both the shuyūkh (master scholars) and talaba or tullāb (students) as a waẓīfah (job) for the former and potential source of income after graduation for the latter. On the contrary, both segments took teaching and learni

Towards a New Approach in the Teaching of the Holy Qur’an
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

From the early days of Islam, dynamics of Islamic education in the entire Muslim world have always been associated with the teaching of the holy Qur’an. At the basic elementary level, institutions which provided Qur’an education were often supervised by the ruling authorities, private charitable philanthropists, or pious and people. This educat

Thermal, Structural and Mechanical Properties of Melt Drawn cur-Loaded Poly(Lactic Acid) Fibers
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Turmeric has been one of the most treasured spices and is well known for having health promoting properties. In this study, PLA fibers were loaded with curcumin at 1, 3 and 5 wt% and were successfully drawn via an in-house built fiber drawing tower. The structure of the fibers was characterized using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy.

Decriminalization of Prohibited Drugs: a Challenge to Muslim Youths in a Secular Society
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Decriminalization of illegal drugs have been proposed in different forums as the easy way out or the possible approach in preventing drug abuse. It was proposed and strongly supported by some groups of intellectuals after drug policy failed to alleviate this devastating problem in their own respective state. The advocates emphasized that legalizing

anti-Continuum Approach on Odd Solitons in Binary Discrete Media with cubic-Quintic Nonlinearity
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The existence and stability of bright odd strongly localized modes in discrete binary media with cubic and quintic nonlinearities are investigated mainly by applying anti-continuum method. There are three different types of bright localized modes being studied; symmetric, antisymmetric and shifted odd modes. However, certain analytical analysis is

Thermal Modelling and Analysis of Batik Canting Design
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Canting or ‘tjanting’ is a traditional hand tool that is used to apply wax in lines and fine dots on a cloth to create beautiful batik designs. In this study, the thermal and structural characteristics of the wax determined via differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy respectively. The actual te

Modelling and Analysing Deadlock in Flexible Manufacturing System Using Timed Petri Net
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Flexible manufacturing system (FMS) has several advantages compared to conventional systems such as higher machine utilization, higher efficiency, less inventory, and less production time. On the other hand, FMS is expensive and complicated. One of the main problems that may happen is the deadlock. Deadlock is a case that happens when one operation

Effectiveness and Performance of e-Government in Saudi Arabia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The purposes of this book are to investigate the effectiveness of e-government implementation in Saudi Arabia, explore the underlying factors for the efficient performance of e-government portals, address the gaps and problems that have emerged in e-government portals, examine the impact of the problems found in e-government plan and the needs of i

Mapping Mangrove Distributions in Cherating River Estuary, Pahang by Using Remote Sensing
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The mangrove at Cherating river estuary are diverse in species diversity and well distributed along the seven kilometer of the riverine swamp. The study on the mangroves cover are needed for coastal development planning and monitoring. Methodology: Combination of unsupervised and supervised classification of Landsat Satellite imageries were used fo

Novel Distributed Algorithm for Coalition Formation in Cognitive Radio Networks for Throughput Enhancement Using Matching Theory
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In this paper, a novel algorithm is proposed for increasing the throughput in cognitive radio networks by forming coalitions among cognitive radio users in AWGN and fading channel environment. Although there have been numerous studies exploring the benefits of coalition formation in cognitive radio networks from the game theory perspective, there a
