The education field has undergone a new norm due to the pandemic of COVID-19 and it can be seen that new techniques and improvements can be applied among the educators and students. In a Malaysian context, it is revealed that a majority of universities have enhanced the quality of teaching via online platforms such as Cisco Webex, Google Meet, Zoom and many more that provide the medium for instructional delivery. However, it is also imperative to view the situation from the students’ perspectives in order to identify the issues that have occurred throughout the online learning process. The current study is conducted to identify the level of adaptability among students towards online learning and it consists of several components such as physical, spiritual, and emotional aspects. The respondents were selected through purposive sampling from selected local universities in Malaysia where about 316 students participated. This study was done quantitatively, and the results were analysed using Smart PLS 3.2.8. The findings showed that there were high values of Cronbach alpha and composite reliability which indicates that students agreed with the items in all the constructs in terms of physical (α=0.879, CR=0.906), spiritual (α =0.863, CR=0.901), emotional (α=0.953, CR=0.961) and adaptability (α=0.913, CR=0.931). The validity (AVE) of all the constructs were also in the acceptable range. It reveals that the physical, spiritual, and emotional components are imperative in order to ensure students could adapt with the new norm of online learning during the pandemic of COVID-19. Other than that, it shows that a balance well-being could hinder problems related to tough learning situation especially in online learning.

Higher education waqf has received considerable attention from various parties. Its emergence became part of an alternative solution especially in the field of higher education in Malaysia. Implementation of higher education waqf in the modern world of education is inaccurately regarded not to be in line with the real purpose and philosophy of higher educational waqf. Discussions are initiated by re-exploring the concept of waqf and education, the origin and destination of each. This paper uses a dialectical philosophy research method that contains three main processes, namely analysis, synthesis and critical. Five key focus areas are given to understanding the philosophy of higher education waqf, namely understanding the concept of education waqf, its origins or sources, the relationship and link between the concept of waqf and the idea of higher education, the true purpose of higher education waqf and the implication of the concept of higher education waqf to the Islamic education system. The concept of higher education waqf should be linked to the real purpose of education according to the Islamic world view in accordance with the origin of waqf sourced revelation. With that understanding, the idea of higher education waqf has a significant impact on the higher education system, especially in today's modern educational environment.
