On April 1, 2022, Malaysia entered an endemic phase after transitioning from the Covid-19 pandemic. This transition period is intended to allow Malaysians to resume normal life after dealing with the outbreak for the past two years. Therefore, the reforming process is accelerated to ensure the country's welfare which has suffered severely and negatively. The religious point of view, particularly Islam is one of the most important areas in reforming strategies. Many Islamic scholars contributed spiritual ideas to enlighten society and other strategies, such as finance and health. For example, a Moroccan Islamic scholar named Muḥammad al-Makkī al-Nāṣirī worked on a tafsir entitled al-Taysīr fī Aḥādīth al-Tafsīr. Hence, this research was carried out to examine al-Nāṣirī’s thoughts on al-Iṣlāḥ through his tafsir, as well as their applications in dealing with the endemic phase. The study used a qualitative methodology that involved analysing the verses of the Quran that contain words rooted from ṣād - lām - ḥā’ in the tafsir. The findings were then discussed thematically as their applications to the issues confronting the endemic phase. According to the analysis, restoring the endemic phase is not limited to external factors such as environmental reform. It is also necessary to focus on the spiritual collapse and social conflict between communities, which are also part of the causes of world calamity. In this regard, this study is significant for all parties working to improve the world after the Covid-19 pandemic while broadening the dimensions of the improvement strategy in the endemic phase.

With all the potential that Indonesia has, the halal industry should be optimised to build the economy and prosper people's lives. This study aims to look further at the opportunities and challenges of Indonesia's halal food and beverage industry. This study uses a descriptive-qualitative method with a phenomenological approach and SWOT analysis techniques. The results showed that Indonesia has excellent food and beverage industry opportunities. For example, Indonesia has high growth in the number of Muslims. The target market in Indonesia is enormous, public awareness of consuming halal food continues to increase, and technology development is rapid. The existence of e-commerce and media continues to grow. In terms of financing, there are many choices of alternative financing platforms and collaboration opportunities with Islamic banking and financial institutions. However, this opportunity has not been fully utilised. Indonesia still has to face various challenges from various sides, such as limited access to international markets, a lack of research on market movements, and the utilisation of information technology to develop this industry is still low. Meanwhile, the form of policies from the central and regional governments are still not aligned, and the bureaucracy for inter-sectoral cooperation is still relatively. By looking at the results of the positioning analysis through the SWOT technique, it is recommended that the Indonesian halal food industry implement a growth strategy through horizontal integration. In this position, the Indonesian halal food industry has an excellent opportunity to grow by developing the halal food and beverage industry.

The capacity of memory in the brain to store, process, and recall information is truly a wondrous blessing. Forgetfulness may be a blessing from Allah to make life easier by allowing humans to forget bad events and shocks from the past. However, increased forgetfulness can lead to issues such as forgetting the Quran and other important information and being unable to concentrate. The questions that arose were how forgetfulness hinders humans in a variety of situations and circumstances, as well as its impact on living a healthy life. Using a descriptive qualitative method, this study investigated how Islam explains forgetting, its causes, and its cures from a scientific and spiritual standpoint. This study also revealed treatments that can be done to overcome this disease and circumvent negative impressions. This article found some tips to strengthen memory, such as reciting dhikr (remembrance), maintaining a well-balanced diet, reading books, memorizing the Quran, and participating in frequent prayer, which are all excellent ways to exercise a Muslim's mind.
