Instead, it is centred on openness, wisdom, maturity, brotherhood, and mutual respect. Thus, this study will explore the concept of khilaf according to the Islamic perspective and identify the methodology of rulemaking by scholars. This research also focuses on how Malaysian authorities handle khilaf issues in accordance with Islamic law and legal enactments. This study uses content analysis where a systematic and replicable technique for compressing many words of text into fewer content categories based on explicit rules of coding. When it comes to analyse the books (i.e fiqh books), the assumption made is that the words which are mentioned most often are the words that reflect the greatest concerns. Thus, the study found that <em>mujtahid</em> scholars have various methods to answer current ruling issues, leading to some differences between them. Disagreement or difference of opinion highlighted by them clearly has its own methodology that needs to be explored. In fact, they also have specific methods in dealing with khilaf for their implementation in society. Further in this study, there are many misunderstanding issues that arise especially in Malaysia that need enlightenment. This is because there are 14 states in this country that have different Islamic religious management even though they are led by YDP Agong as the Head of State for all states in Malaysia including Sabah and Sarawak.</p> <p>Konsep khilaf menurut Syariah bermaksud perbezaan pendapat berdasarkan hujah yang tidak melibatkan hawa nafsu, tuduhan semborono, dan fanatisk buta. Sebaliknya, ia berpusat pada keterbukaan, hikmah, kedewasaan, persaudaraan, dan saling hormat-menghormati. Oleh itu, kajian ini akan mengkaji konsep khilaf menurut perspektif Islam dan mengenal pasti metodologi pembuatan hukum oleh cendekiawan. Selain itu, kajian ini juga memberi tumpuan kepada pengurusan isu-isu khilaf di Malaysia oleh pihak berkuasa mengikut perspektif Islam dan peraturan undang-undang. Kajian ini menggunakan analisis kandungan, iaitu teknik sistematik dan boleh diulangi untuk merangkumkan banyak perkataan teks kepada kategori kandungan yang lebih sedikit berdasarkan peraturan kod yang eksplisit. Apabila menganalisis buku-buku (iaitu buku fiqh), andaian yang dibuat adalah bahawa perkataan yang disebutkan paling kerap adalah perkataan yang mencerminkan kebimbangan terbesar. Oleh itu, kajian mendapati bahawa cendekiawan mujtahid mempunyai pelbagai kaedah untuk menjawab isu-isu peraturan semasa, yang membawa kepada perbezaan di antara mereka. Perselisihan atau perbezaan pendapat yang mereka tegaskan jelas mempunyai metodologi tersendiri yang perlu diteroka. Malah, mereka juga mempunyai kaedah khusus dalam menangani khilaf untuk pelaksanaannya dalam masyarakat. Lebih lanjut dalam kajian ini, terdapat banyak isu salah faham yang timbul terutamanya di Malaysia yang memerlukan penerangan. Ini kerana terdapat 14 negeri di negara ini yang mempunyai pengurusan agama Islam yang berbeza walaupun mereka dipimpin oleh YDP Agong sebagai Ketua Negeri bagi semua negeri di Malaysia termasuk Sabah dan Sarawak.</p> Dziauddin Sharif Nor Mohd Faisal Md Ariffin Khairul Azhar Meerangani Copyright (c) 2024 Journal of Muwafaqat https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-04-30 2024-04-30 7 1 1 22 10.53840/muwafaqat.v7i1.152 A Comparative Legal Analysis on Personal Data Protection Laws in Selected ASEAN Countries https://muwafaqat.uis.edu.my/index.php/journal/article/view/166 <p>Personal data has become susceptible to data breaches following the drastic rise in data processing worldwide. Consequently, data protection issues have been addressed using personal data protection (PDP) laws. The current article compared the PDP regulations in Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, and the Philippines by assessing the salient features of every law on PDP components via content analysis. As law enforcement varies based on each nation’s requirements and situations, their similarities and differences were highlighted in the research outcome. Findings from this study show that each country is committed to ensure the protection of personal data and does so by using ways that most suit the needs and legal requirements of their respective countries.</p> <p>Data peribadi semakin mudah terdedah kepada pelanggaran data berikutan peningkatan drastik dalam pemprosesan data di seluruh dunia. Isu perlindungan data peribadi telah ditangani dengan pelaksanaan undang-undang perlidungan data peribadi. Artikel ini menganalisis perbandingan undang-undang perlindungan data peribadi di Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapura dan Filipina dengan menilai ciri-ciri unik setiap undang-undang dengan mengguna pakai kaedah analisis kandungan. Memandangkan penguatkuasaan undang-undang berbeza berdasarkan kepada kehendak setiap negara, persamaan dan perbezaan antara negara-negara ini dibincangkan dalam kajian ini dengan terperinci. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahwa setiap negara yang dikaji memandang serius komitmen keperluan perlindungan data peribadi dan menggunakan cara yang paling sesuai mengikut keperluan dan memenuhi syarat-syarat perundangan negara mereka.</p> Nawal Sholehuddin Surianom Miskam Farah Mohd Shahwahid Tuan Nurhafiza Raja Abdul Aziz Naqibah Mansor Copyright (c) 2024 Journal of Muwafaqat https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-04-30 2024-04-30 7 1 23 38 10.53840/muwafaqat.v7i1.166 Does Community-Based Tourism Contribute to Halal Tourism from a Maqasid Al-Shariah Perspective? A Case Study of Maldives https://muwafaqat.uis.edu.my/index.php/journal/article/view/168 <p>This study aims to investigate the presence of halal tourism in the Maldives through the lens of Maqasid Shariah. It seeks to link halal and community-based tourism for marketing, attracting more halal tourists through shared objectives and aspirations. Despite a Muslim-majority population, Maldives' tourism sometimes conflicts with Shariah law. The study employed a qualitative approach, specifically surveys were employed to evaluate the extent of adherence to the Maqasid Shariah objectives in tourist establishments, while interviews were conducted with experts in Islamic finance &amp; tourism industry in Maldives. And literature review was used to investigate prior research conducted in other jurisdictions. The topic of halal tourism in the Maldives has elicited divergent perspectives. However, the implementation of community-based tourism (CBT) has the capacity to stimulate economic advancement and enhance the agency of Indigenous communities. The study revealed that CBT has a limited but some impact on the advancement of halal tourism.</p> <p>Kajian ini bertujuan menyelidik kewujudan pelancongan halal di Maldives menurut perspektif Maqasid Syariah. Ia bertujuan menghubungkan pelancongan halal dan pelancongan berasaskan komuniti untuk pemasaran, menarik lebih ramai pelancong halal melalui objektif dan aspirasi yang sama. Walaupun penduduk Maldives secara majoritinya beragama Islam, pelancongan di Maldives kadangkala bercanggah dengan undang-undang Syariah. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif, khususnya tinjauan digunakan untuk menilai sejauh mana pematuhan kepada objektif Maqasid Syariah di tempat penginapan pelancong, manakala temu bual dijalankan dengan pakar dalam industri kewangan &amp; pelancongan Islam di Maldives. Manakala tinjauan literatur digunakan untuk mengkaji penyelidikan terdahulu yang dijalankan di negara lain. Topik pelancongan halal di Maldives telah menimbulkan perspektif yang berbeza. Walau bagaimanapun, pelaksanaan pelancongan berasaskan komuniti mempunyai keupayaan untuk merangsang kemajuan ekonomi dan meningkatkan komuniti masyarakat orang asli. Kajian itu mendedahkan bahawa pelancongan berasaskan komuniti mempunyai kesan terhad tetapi memberi sedikit impak kepada kemajuan pelancongan halal.</p> Mariyam Rafaa Abdul Latheef Copyright (c) 2024 Journal of Muwafaqat https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-04-30 2024-04-30 7 1 39 66 10.53840/muwafaqat.v7i1.168 Faktor-faktor yang Mempengaruhi Penyertaan Pelanggan Terhadap Produk Takaful Wakaf: Kajian Literatur Awal https://muwafaqat.uis.edu.my/index.php/journal/article/view/164 <p>Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi kurangnya penyertaan dalam takaful wakaf di Indonesia.
