Wakaf merupakan sistem yang telah lama wujud dalam kehidupan manusia sebelum Islam datang, walaupun tidak dinamakan dengan wakaf. Pembinaan dan pembiayaan tempat-tempat peribatan dilakukan sesuai dengan konsep wakaf. Sepertimana halnya dengan jual beli, ijarah, nikah dan aqad-aqad lainnya telah pun wujud sebelum Islam. Sistem wakaf pun telah dikenal dalam peradaban Roman, Babilon, dan Fir’aun. Ketika Islam datang, banyak konsep serupa wakaf telah wujud, lalu Islam melatakkan sistem kepada wakaf. Sistem wakaf dalam Islam bukanlah sistem yang diadopsi daripada sistem yang telah wujud sebelumnya, namun ia merupakan sistem murni daripada alQuran dan al-Sunnah. Dan ianya tidak terbatas kepada tempat-tempat peribadatan sahaja, tapi ia mencakup bidang sosial, ekonomi dan ketenteraan. Islam merupakan agama yang syumul, ia mentadbir hubungan setiap insan dengan Rabbnya, hubungan insan dengan keluarga dan masyarakatnya, hubungan hakim dan mahkum, hubungan fuqara’ dengan aghniya’, hubungan negara Islam dengan negara lain dalam keadaan aman mahupun perang. Oleh kerana itu, fiqh Islam mengandungi semua aspek kehidupan manusia mulai daripada ibadat, mu’amalat, munakahat, mawarith, hudud, qisas, jihad, mu’ahadat, halal dan haram. Islam mengatur kehidupan individu mulai daripada adab qada’ hajat sampai kehidupan ummah dalam membangun khilāfah dan imāmah.

Benakku sesempit apa? Peluhku ngalir buta, Sakit! Kiri kanan hingar bangar, 1000 kebohongan dan kedustaan, Bertaburan, Menagapa? Kamu kamu, Kamu... Haruskah kita peluk tubuh saja? Diam-diam takul tangan, Biarkan permainan mereka berterusan saja? Nah lihat di sana, Padang bola lagi dibina, Sedangkan kaming hitam belum habis lari.

Sedang esok kita mati, Anak-anak bagaimana, Sedang mereka tiada jati diri, Akan tergadailah bumi ini. Wangsail: 15 November 2019

This book examines how the education policies that emerged in the Bruneian education system from 1954 to 2014 produced progress, tailored to current needs. These policies were faced with many challenges. Among the major challenges the education policies were often faced with during this period was to adopt Malay as the instructional medium in schools throughout the country. This issue could be seen in the Education Policies 1954, 1962 and 1972 which advocated for Malay to be the medium of instruction. However, there were challenges in its implementation. These challenges were not only due to internal, but also external factors. Therefore, schools in various language streams continued to exist in Brunei, as stated in Education Policy 1954. When the Bilingual Education Policy and SPN 21 were introduced, the challenge to adopt Malay as the instructional medium resurfaced. It was apparent that these two policies did not manage to make Malay as the medium of instruction because it was overshadowed by English. The same happened when the National Education System of the 21st Century was launched in 2008 to replace the previous education systems. The previous systems were said to be unable to provide the academic and skills programmes, which were relevant to high technology global needs. However, this policy created discontentment among the Muslims in the country. This was where Islamic Education and Malay Islamic Monarchy were no longer the core, but only elective subjects. Due to public pressure, as well as the Sultan's reprimand, thus, in late 2009 both were made core subjects. 9789991787497

The explosive influence of new media which has become the contemporary challenges of today require us to further strengthen the knowledge and practice about Brunei life values based on Malay Islamic Monarchy (MIB). Therefore, the publication of this book is at least another step, in sharing knowledge and information not only to the people of Brunei but to outsiders who do not yet know and understand the way of life of the Brunei people. It is hoped that this publication will provide the insight, as well as knowledge to further strengthen the practice and appreciation of MIB values. This is because MIB is the foundation of unity that promotes mutual understanding and respect in community and national life. From a historical perspective, the MIB Concept has been around from 651 years ago in the life of Brunei people of various races, religions and socio-cultural backgrounds. Thus, it needs to be maintained and strengthened in today's globalized era for polticial, economic and social stability to achieve the National Vision 2035.
