Karya ini mengetengahkan satu perbahasan kritikal dan kontemporari berkaitan pengurusan zakat khususnya isu penggunaan konsep maslahah dalam pentakrifan dan pengagihan asnaf zakat di Malaysia. Berteraskan disiplin fiqh dan usul al-fiqh, karya ini menilai aplikasi maslahah yang diamalkan oleh institusi zakat melalui kerangka dan parameter syariah yang telah digariskan oleh para fuqaha. Secara sistematik, karya ini dimulakan dengan perbincangan asas mengenai amalan semasa pengagihan zakat di Malaysia, diikuti dengan huraian komprehensif tentang konsep ma lahah menurut perspektif fiqh, merangkumi definisi, pembahagian serta syaratsyarat penggunaannya dalam proses ijtihad hukum. Teori ini kemudiannya diaplikasikan secara langsung terhadap isu agihan zakat melalui analisis amalan pentakrifan asnaf di Malaysia. Keunikan utama karya ini terletak pada fokus analitikal terhadap tiga asnaf yang paling banyak melibatkan elemen maslahah. Melalui kajian kes terhadap Lembaga Zakat Selangor (LZS) dan Baitulmal Majlis Agama Islam Wilayah Persekutuan (MAIWP), penulis menilai hujah, dasar, serta skim bantuan yang dilaksanakan oleh kedua-dua institusi ini, sekali gus meneliti implikasi hukum dan tadbir urus yang timbul daripada perluasan takrifan asnaf berasaskan maslahah. Karya ini tidak sekadar bersifat deskriptif, bahkan tampil dengan analisis kritikal terhadap implikasi penggunaan maslahah, termasuklah pertembungan antara nas dan maslahah, risiko penyimpangan objektif pengagihan zakat, pengabaian asnaf yang lebih utama, perluasan skim bantuan yang tidak terkawal, serta potensi penyalahgunaan dana zakat. Dapatan kajian ini memperlihatkan bahawa walaupun prinsip maslahah mempunyai peranan penting dalam menyesuaikan hukum dengan realiti semasa, penggunaannya tanpa disiplin usul fiqh yang ketat boleh menjejaskan pensyariatan maqasid zakat. Sebagai sebuah karya ilmiah, buku ini telah memberikansumbangan yang signifikan kepada wacana fiqh zakat kontemporari di Malaysia khususnya dalam usaha menyeimbangkan antara tuntutan fleksibiliti hukum dan keperluan pematuhan kepada prinsip syariah yang tetap. Hal ini bukan sahaja relevan untuk ahli akademik dan penyelidik dalam bidang pengajian Islam, malah boleh menjadi rujukan penting kepada pembuat dasar, pengamal institusi zakat dan pihak berautoriti dalam merangka dasar pengagihan zakat yang lebih berintegriti, telus dan menepati kehendak syarak.

Bab 4 pula memfokuskan kesusasteraan Islam dan transformasi peradaban, yakni fungsi sastera sebagai wahana pemerkasaan nilai, pembinaan akal budi, serta pembentukan masyarakat beretika. Beberapa bahagian turut menonjolkan tokoh dan gagasan utama yang memacu wacana sastera Islam moden, antaranya sumbangan Sayyid Qutb, Mohammad Qutb, dan khususnya Naguib al-Kilani-pelopor yang menegaskan kesatuan tauhid, dakwah, dan seni dalam novel serta karya kreatif Perbincangan tersebut memperlihatkan kesinambungan tradisi, keluasan tema, dan kedalaman misi kesusasteraan Islam di medan realiti sosial. Dari sudut metodologi, setiap bab mengimbangi hujah normatif-nilai (wahyu, syariat,akhlak) dengan sejarah idea dan bukti teks, termasuk penjelasan kedudukan sastera dalam Islam yang mempersyaratkan keindahan yang beradab serta kebenaran yang membimbing. Naskhah ini juga menegaskan keunggulan al-Quran sebagai sumber estetik dan petunjuk yang melampaui bandingan, sambil menginsafkan pembaca terhadap batas retorik dan penolakan terhadap pemalsuan artistik.

TRAFFIC FLOW AND SAFETY ANALYSIS AT URBAN INTERSECTION: SELECTED STUDY CASE
In the bustling context of urban planning, this study aimed to address the primary objective of identifying operational failures at signalized intersections, with a specific focus on the chaotic interplay of mixed traffic. The findings painted a stark picture of the limitations inherent in current traffic models. It was observed that the sheer volume of motorcycles disrupted standard "gap acceptance" behaviors, creating unique "dilemma zones" that traditional Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) methodologies overlook. The data revealed that drivers frequently misjudged the approach speed of smaller vehicles during permissive phases, leading to critical conflicts that statistical averages often fail to capture. The contribution of this work lies in its translation of observed chaos into actionable engineering data. By establishing new saturation flow baselines and identifying specific geometric flaws, the study offers more than a summary of traffic counts; it proposes a recalibrated framework for safety audits. Ultimately, it advocates for a specific shift from permissive to protected signal phasing, providing a technical roadmap to reduce accident severity and harmonize the flow of diverse vehicle types in developing urban centers.
MATCHED MORALITY: AN ISLAMIC INTERPRETATION OF HAIKU POEMS
Islam is often misconceived as incompatible with poetry, which hinders a deeper appreciation of poetry’s potential for expressing universal moral values. This book, Matched Morality: An Islamic Interpretation of Haiku Poetry, challenges this notion by revealing the hidden depths of traditional Japanese Haiku poetry from Islamic viewpoints. The book explores the ancient roots of Haiku in Japanese culture and its unique concurrence with Islamic morality. The authors demonstrate how the nature and philosophy of Haiku poetry reflect religious morality. The analysis focuses on how Haiku, with its concise poetic form and simple structure, can evoke powerful emotions and offer profound insights into the human condition. The book is more than just a literary interpretation; its line-by-line inductive analysis bridges cultural divides and draws inferences between Haiku’s themes of nature, reflection, and morality with core Islamic principles. Through careful examination of Quranic verses and Hadith, the authors of this book illustrate a shared pursuit of inner peace, social responsibility, and spiritual enlightenment in Islam and Haiku poetry. These new insights could enrich our understanding of Haiku poetry and Islam and offer a fresh perspective on the universal quest for morality in this ever-changing world. This book is valuable for academics, researchers, literature scholars, religious educationists and enthusiasts.
