Guest Editors: Islam and Contemporary Issues
Journal Title: International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 13
Abstract
The word 'Islam', in Arabic, means submission and peace. As a term, 'Islam' refers to the Message which was revealed to Muhammad (peace be upon him) by Allah, the One Creator, and a 'Muslim' is the one who believes in Islam. Like any other ideology, Islam consists of a creed or doctrine, and a system of rules and regulations. Unlike other ideologies, however, it is not man-made. The creed of Islam (Akidah) provides the correct and comprehensive answer to the fundamental question regarding the existence of man and universe. It addresses the issue of the human being's purpose in life and integrates it into the grand scheme of existence, i.e. what came before this life and what will come after it. This special issue themed of Islam and Contemporary Issues is the work that was collected from various scientific researches in Malaysia. It is devoted to the perspectives from academia from various backgrounds of knowledge and experts, revealing Islam as a religion in facing the challenges of human civilization in the world.
