Aspek-aspek yang akan di bincangkan iaitu dari sudut ekonomi, pendidikan dan juga hubungan sosial. Dari sudut ekonomi penyelidik akan memfokuskan lebih terperinci tentang pendapatan serta pekerjaan informan. Manakala Dari segi sosial penyelidik akan memfokuskan aspek-aspek penglibatan informan dalam persatuan ataupun aktiviti yang dijalankan. Di samping itu juga, penyelidik akan melihat dari segi latar belakang informan yang menerima zakat. Isu utama dalam permasalahan ini adalah sejauhmanakah perlaksanaan agihan zakat oleh pihak pengurusan Tabung Baitulmal Sarawak (TBS) membantu golongan mualaf dari sudut kesejahteraan hidup contohnya pendapatan,sosial dan pendidikan. Kajian ini telah menemu bual sepuluh orang informan serta dua orang pegawai Tabung Baitulmal Sarawak sebagai pemberi maklumat.

Hasil temubual dengan pegawai pula, mengatakan bahawa mereka sentiasa perihatin dengan masalah yang dihadapi oleh masyarakat Islam di Sarawak. Hasil kajian mendapatkan kesejahteraan hidup golongan mualaf dari aspek ekonomi pada tahap sederhana, manakala dari aspek pendidikan masih berada pada tahap yang rendah, dari aspek sosial pula, memuaskan kerana penglibatan mereka dalam persatuan mendapat sambutan yang positif dari golongan mualaf. Segala bantuan dihulurkan dan program-program sentiasa aktif dijalankan. Berdasarkan pemerhatian penyelidik, penyelidik dapat menyimpulkan bahawa peranan Tabung Baitulmal Sarawak sangat penting kerana masyarakat akan memberi persepsi yang positif mahupun negatif.Di samping itu juga usaha TBS perlu dipertingkatkan dari masa ke semasa agar ianya memberi impak yang positif kepada masyarakat terutama golongan mualaf. Di sini penyelidik menyarankan agar Golongan mualaf sentiasa peka dengan bantuan yang disalurkan, begitu juga dengan pihak pengurusan Baitulmal agar memperbanyakkan promosi berkenaan dengan zakat dan bantuan yang diberikan

Religion is considered as one of the most sensitive issues that may trigger conflict among society as it involves human belief and faith. For the society to be equipped with respect towards other religious systems, religious tolerance should be nurtured from the early age. Hence, research on religious tolerance from various demographical backgrounds of youth should be given recognition. This research aims to identify the level of youth religious tolerance in terms of perception, attitude, willingness, experience and behaviour, and the difference in the respondents' demographic background. The methodology used cross-sectional approach with a quantitative research done by survey. The research samples were randomly selected by a stratified random sampling involving 500 youths aged 15 to 24. The questionnaire was using research instruments on socio-religious tolerance developed by Ahmad Tarmizi (2010) to measure religious tolerance. Data collected were analysed by descriptive and statistical inference using SPSS 22.0 software. The findings show that the respondents are religiously tolerant. They have positive perception and attitude, and they are willing to be religiously tolerant. However, their experience and behaviour levels towards religious tolerance are moderate. The demographical factors that show significant difference are gender, ethnicity, religion, types of ethnicities in the neighbourhood and number of acquaintances from other ethnicities. The implication of this research, there is a need for Malaysians to be more open to daily socialisation and inter-racial interaction.

Penggunaan teknologi maklumat dan komunikasi dalam penyampaian maklumat berkaitan zakat dan juga ... more Penggunaan teknologi maklumat dan komunikasi dalam penyampaian maklumat berkaitan zakat dan juga sebagai medium pembayaran zakat merupakan suatu perkara yang perlu diambil serius. Ini kerana kesedaran masyarakat Islam untuk membayar zakat masih berada pada tahap yang rendah. Antara faktor yang menyebabkan kurang kesedaran untuk membayar zakat adalah kerana kurangnya kefahaman mengenai zakat (Rashidah, 2006; Hairunnizam, Mohd Ali, Sanep, 2005). Selain itu, menurut Pegawai Bahagian Pengurusan Aplikasi Lembaga Zakat Selangor (LZS) iaitu En Mohd Faisal, kaedah pembayaran zakat melalui atas talian juga perlu dipertingkatkan lagi untuk memudahkan kaedah pembayaran zakat kepada orang ramai seiring dengan perkembangan teknologi maklumat dan komunikasi pada hari ini. Justeru itu, bagi menggalakkan dan mempromosikan lagi pembayaran zakat melalui atas talian, faktor latar belakang responden kajian perlu dikaji untuk mengenal pasti perkaitannya dengan pembayaran zakat atas talian dan penggunaan...

Typically experience affects perceptions and attitudes, and attitudes and perceptions are important components in studying the individual behaviour. A total of 500 respondents were randomly selected for this study consisted of youth aged between 15 to 24 years of ethnic Malays, Chinese and Indians. The instrument used was a questionnaire socio-religious tolerance and data were analysed using SPSS 22.0 and AMOS 24.0. The results showed that the experience is not a significant moderator of the relation between perception and behaviour, attitude and religious tolerance behaviour. Level of attitudes and perceptions of respondents' religious tolerance are high, but the religious tolerance behaviour is moderate. All three of these constructs are related to each other. However, attitudes have a stronger relationship with religious tolerance behaviour compared with the perception and religious tolerance behaviour. Results from this study showed attitude is more related with behaviours compared to the perception and behaviour of religious tolerance. The implications of this study showed that although the experience is an important factor in behaviour, but for the youth experience in religious tolerance is still less than the older people experience. So, the experience factor does not affect the youth.

This variety leads to many differences. Failure in handling the differences may result in instability among the society. The most significant way to create a harmonious society is by recognizing similarities and celebrating differences between religions. As tolerance is a wide topic of study, therefore the researcher chooses to focus on a specific area. Hence, this study intends to investigate the experience of youth towards religious tolerance by using an instrument developed by Ahmad Tarmizi (2010). A total of 119 respondents among youth aged between 15 and 25 years in Serdang, Selangor were randomly selected for this study. The results show that the average experience of respondents' religious tolerance is at medium level. Despite being at the average level, the difference between medium and high level is very small. This indicates that the respondents' experience towards religious tolerance is at a good level for most of them live in a tolerant society.
