Shariah-Compliant Patriotism (S-CP) Framework in Malaysia

Abstract

Shariah-Compliant Patriotism (S-CP) is one of the areas of success from Islamic education in forming a good human being within the framework of Islamic teachings. The demands of patriotism in Islam include helping to achieve progress and peace in a country, preserving the good name of the country in the eyes of the world, as well as defending the religion from any threat. The writing of this paper is aimed at identifying the principles of shariah-compliant patriotism and proposing a framework for shariah-compliant patriotism in Malaysia. The findings of this study have shown that there are seven (7) principles of shariah-compliant patriotism: (i) Belief, (ii) Morals, (iii) Knowledge, (iv) Consensus, (v) Islamic Education, (vi) Respect, and (vii) Strategy, while the development of the shariah-compliant patriotism framework is based on belief, shariah and akhlaq, and sourced from the holy Quran, al-Sunnah, Malay literature, and the National Principle. Finally, the produced S-CP framework is expected to be the basis/core in the construction of profiles, models, and modules for unityrelated stakeholders in Malaysia such as the Department of National Unity and Integration (JPNIN) -to strengthen the racial unity in this country, in line with the National Unity Policy (DPN) to ensure the security and continued development of the country while also defending its sovereignty based on the Federal Constitution and the National Policy.

Factors that Influence Malaysian Muslim Travel Preferences

The Shariah-compliant hotel or Islamic hotel characteristic not only covers serving halal food and drink, but it extends to the management and operation of hotels based on Shariah principles (Shaharuddin et al, 2018). H3: There is a significant relationship between Sharia-compliant hotels and Muslim travel preferences.…”
