“…In its regulation, chapter 9 on Tarbiyah (education), verses a and b, emphasize that the body is committed to call its member to live theoretically, and practically based on Islam at individual, family, and social levels, and nurture every member of the family of each member with religious education based on the Qur'an and Hadith. It believes that women are the backbone of society and important agents of change (Malik, 2018).…”

“…Some works deal with a non-governmental organization in responding the discourse and practice of family. For example, Malik et al (2018) explained that IKRAM with its influential role in societies nurtures a traditional understanding of Islam based on Sunni and Syafi'i school of Islamic law. Kamaruddin et al (2018) illustrated that the emergence of Sisters in Islam (SIS) in Malaysia begins with their dissatisfaction with the implementation of certain new Islamic Family Law that had been legislated in 1984.…”

This article discusses how the Quran is used to conceptualize family in Islam in modern Southeast Asia, particularly in Indonesia and Malaysia. It examines how the concept is formulated, institutionalized, and practiced. This study is important due to the need to clarify the existing irony. On one side, the family concept is the most resistant to change, on the other side, many changes in social forces and practices require response since the modern era began in 1800. It is interesting how these contradictory powers interact with one another, where the Quran is used as the fundamental source. Using a descriptive and analytic method, the discussion is organized as follows: the study context, topic limitation, Quranic norms, family administration, education, modernity, and patriarchy issue. The study finds that the state and Muslim scholars in both countries have been trying to re-use the Quran in contextualizing the family ideal concept to meet the demand of age. In Malaysia, they take the policy stuck to the accepted medieval understanding of Islam faithfully, whereas in Indonesia, they are a bit inclusive, accepting different views and practices; even though both have similar understanding of Islam, Shāfi’iyyah in Islamic law and Ash-Ashariyyah in theology. Dalam Islam di Asia Tenggara modern, Quran digunakan untuk konseptualisasi keluarga khususnya di Indonesia dan Malaysia. Studi ini mengkaji konsep tersebut dirumuskan, dilembagakan, dan dipraktikkan. Penelitian ini penting karena memperjelas ironi yang ada. Di satu sisi, konsep keluarga paling tahan terhadap perubahan, di sisi lain, ada banyak perubahan kekuatan dan praktik sosial yang membutuhkan respons, sejak 1800. Sangat menarik untuk dibahas kekuatan yang kontradiktif ini berinteraksi satu sama lain, dimana Quran digunakan sebagai sumber inspirasi. Dengan metode deskriptif dan analitik, penelitian diatur sebagai berikut: konteks kajian, keterbatasan topik, norma Quran, administrasi keluarga, lembaga pendidikan, modernitas, dan isu patriarki. Studi menemukan bahwa negara dan cendekiawan Muslim di kedua negara telah berupaya menggunakan kembali Quran dalam kontekstualisasi konsep ideal keluarga untuk memenuhi tuntutan usia. Di Malaysia, mereka mengambil kebijakan yang melekat pada pemahaman abad pertengahan yang diterima tentang Islam, sedangkan di Indonesia lebih inklusif, menerima pandangan dan praktik yang berbeda, meskipun keduanya memiliki pemahaman serupa tentang Islam, yaitu Shāfi'iyyah dalam hukum Islam, dan Ash-Ashariyyah dalam teologi.

“…Therefore, they utilise political Islam and democracy to reach their global objective, such as the MB pursues to govern the world based on al-Banna's concept "Ustziatul al-Alam" to rule the world. 32 In the Islamist movement's accounts, holding the political power will spread Islam in the corrupted society by Western influence and simultaneously implement the hudud. .…”

Since the foundation of the Muslim Brotherhood in 1928, the movement has had a formidable political perspective combined with Islamic teachings. Regrettably, a critical aspect of political Islam rarely occurs or is inadequately addressed in Egyptian politics. The collapse of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt had, of course, influenced the Islamist movements around the globe. It also highlighted the battle between modern political Islam and the state. Egypt, however, is the most influential Islamic country worldwide, but it is also an unacceptable state for Islamist movements and political Islam. Thus, this paper politically investigates to understand what Hassan al-Banna founds in modern political Islam? And it answers a fundamental question; why political Islam has failed in Egypt, albeit the Muslim Brotherhood has been practising politics for more than 90 years. The paper ascertained that modern political Islam had failed due to the failure of the Muslim Brotherhood, not the structure and context of modern political Islam ideology.

“…Many previous studies have focused on the history and development of NGOs in Malaysia (Abd Ghani & Ishak, 2021;Soh & Tumin et al, 2017;Tumin & Nurhadi 2007). In addition, these studies have also discussed the function of NGOs in the field of welfare and society (Malik et al, 2018;Hassan & Rahman, 2012), preaching and social development (Puat & Abdullah, 2018), the environment and disaster risk reduction (Kassim & Taib 2015;Izumi & Shaw, 2012) as well as Islam, human and women's rights (Whiting, 2003;Steiner, 2019;Van Tujil, 1999). However, governance and transparency issues concerning Malaysian NGOs, especially religious and welfare-based NGOs, is presumably a new topic and has received less attention from the government and the general public.…”

Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) play an important role in carrying out aid missions to the community at the national and international levels. However, the reputation of these organizations is somewhat affected, especially when financial management scandals begin to emerge, particularly involving Islamic NGOs. This issue is a source of displeasure and concern, especially among donors and agencies that provide assistance to these NGOs. Failure to be transparent when providing information results in donors feeling less confident in the NGO's credibility and this leads to prospective or even current donors withdrawing from participating in philanthropic contributions. Therefore, this study aims to examine the financial management challenges faced by NGOs in Malaysia and also provide a comprehensive literature on challenges and previous studies related to financial management issues faced by NGOs. Findings indicate that the legitimacy, accountability and transparency, as well as accountability practices and governance are some of the challenges faced by Islamic NGOs in Malaysia when managing their own finances and public funds.
