The Qur'an and hadith are the main sources of reference for determining the legal status in Islam. Both of these references are preserved their originality in written and memorized form. However, the process of memorizing the Qur’an becomes easier compared to the process of memorizing hadith because Allah S.W.T has made it easier for the Quran to be read, memorized and studied as compared to hadith. To know the authenticity of a hadith requires sanad, matan and narrator which musalsal to the Prophet S.A.W. Thus, memorizing a hadith is more complicated than memorizing the Qur'an. Therefore, to facilitate the memorization process requires a unique method that can help students remember and memorize the hadith. Among the methods used in the process of memorizing hadith is by using the method of naẓam. This study was conducted to identify the effectiveness of the method of naẓam in the process of memorizing and improving the memorization of hadith subjects among students of Ma'had Tahfiz by using qualitative methods. In this study, 10 hadiths of the Prophet related to the responsibility of children to parents, pillars of Islam, pilgrimage, prohibition of Allah in changing His creation, the importance of intention in ibadah, doubt in determining the number of rak'at in salah, love of the prophet, the provisions of slaughter, qurban, adab giving and answering salam were selected and studied on 20 form 4 students of Mahad Tahfiz Science and Technology Darul Ehsan Port Klang. The research instruments used were secondary data and Pre and Post Test. Secondary data and theories used show that the method of naẓam has been proven to improve hadith memorization by increasing the mean value of a positive test from 33.0 to 50.4.

Efikasi kendiri merupakan elemen penting yang dapat mempengaruhi tahap pencapaian akademik mahasiswa terutama semasa proses pembelajaran atas talian di musim Covid-19. Kajian ini bertujuan bagi mengenal pasti hubungan efikasi kendiri dengan tahap pencapaian akademik mahasiswa di Jabatan Pengajian Islam Unisel semasa proses pembelajaran bersemuka dan atas talian berdasarkan kepada grade point average (GPA) yang diperoleh daripada semester lepas. Untuk mengetahui hubungan antara efikasi kendiri dan tahap pencapaian akademik memerlukan kaedah kuantitatif. Oleh itu, 30 mahasiswa telah dipilih daripada Jabatan Pengajian Islam Unisel bagi menjawab soal selidik dengan menggunakan aplikasi google form yang dianalisis secara deskriptif dan inferensi dengan menggunakan Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) versi 26.0. Hasil dapatan menunjukkan terdapat korelasi positif antara efikasi kendiri dengan tahap pencapaian akademik mahasiswa apabila nilai p=0.041 yang diperoleh kurang daripada nilai signifikan 0.05. Walau bagaimanapun, nilai korelasi Pearson r=0.375, menunjukkan hubungan antara efikasi kendiri dan tahap pencapaian akademik adalah hubungan positif yang lemah. Namun demikian, ia berpengaruh serta memberi kesan bagi meningkatkan tahap efikasi kendiri sekali gus meningkatkan tahap pencapaian akademik mahasiswa.
