The Importance of Restraining Our Tongue According to the Quran: An Implementation Among the Students

Abstract

We use our tongue to communicate with people. However sometimes, accidentally, our word used might be hurtful to others especially when we are using foul language or bad words in delivering a message or advising other people so that they will be not boring to listen to us. Unfortunately, this is the sad truth that happen among the preachers especially in this country. Surprisingly, we can hear and see that some of the Malaysian preachers using bad language while giving their lecture to the society. For instance, by calling others as fool, scoffing and humiliating other people. This is a bad example to others since they are seen as good example to the society even though they might be only joking for the purpose of attracting an audience. As mention in the Surah Al Hujurat verse 11 and 12, about the prohibitions in using their tongue, aren't they alert about this prohibitions? If they do know, why they are not guarding their tongue in uttering words? The objective of this research is to identify the implementation toward the importance of restraining the tongue in Surah Al Hujurat verse 11 and 12 among students of Islamic knowledge. Thus, as a subject for this research, we are focusing on the third year students from Quranic and Sunnah Studies (QS) in Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM), since they will bring the Islamic image after they are graduated soon. Furthermore, the society might be referring to them as a role model and inviting them to deliver a lectures at their residential area. Thus, they also need to be an extra careful, on their behavior, because people may look negatively on Islamic teaching if they saw a disrespectable attitude from the preacher. On this research, we used questionnaire method to collect the data and analyze it according to the respondent's feedback. The result shows that there are some factors which contribute to the misuse of tongue among respondents. The researchers also provides some recommendations to curb this problem among respondents.

Identification of Grip Profile for Hand Tool – A Preliminary Ergonomics Study

“…In order to design an ergonomics prototype tool handle, factor of human's hand size should be considered which are the grip span and profile. As the analysis of grip span of human hand had already been successfully studied (Ibrahim and Mohd A, 2017), this paper would continue to analyse on the grip profile as both (grip span and profile) are considered important in designing hand tools. In this study, the methodology to identify grip profile was according to Simunic et al (2013).…”

“…Consideration of human variation, minimum and maximum values are vital since this could cover sizes on actual application e.g. grip span (Ibrahim and Mohd A, 2017). For grip profile, the technique of measurement could be referred to method used in designing of handle using rapid prototyping technology (Simunic et al, 2013).…”
