As the followers of a comprehensive religion that regulates all spheres of human life, it is common for practising Muslims to require certain religious accommodations at their workplaces or during any clinical encounter. This paper aims to identify the factors that facilitate the provision of religious accommodation in healthcare for both Muslim healthcare workers and patients, by specifically examining three issues: provision of halal food, prayer facilities, and Muslim-friendly dress codes. In this qualitative study, document analysis and secondary data analysis are conducted. Thematic analysis is conducted to identify the factors which influence religious accommodation in healthcare. The findings illustrate that the prospect of accommodating religious needs does not merely depend on the religion of the majority of the population, but on various factors, such as the country or the state where the healthcare institution is situated, the healthcare institution itself, the sections or departments within the healthcare institution, and the personnel who deal directly with healthcare personnel or patients requiring the religious accommodation. In addition, awareness, attitudes, rules and standards, and availability of resources also influence the provision of religious accommodation. The results suggest that individuals seeking religious accommodation at any institution ought to play a more active role in obtaining accommodation at various levels. Besides that, religious accommodation can be enhanced by improving knowledge, attitude, standards, regulations, and availability of resources in healthcare institutions.

The study of Ilm al-kalam is still relevant and meaningful in the modern period of time. It is not outdated rather it has gone through various developments throughout the history in order to cope up with the needs of the age. This paper studies a contemporary approach to ilm al-kalam by a contemporary theologian, Ismail Raji al-Faruqi. It examines al-Faruqi's distinct approach in comparison to a classical position of ilm al-kalam. In doing so, the study focuses on selected theological issues, namely, the relationship between reason and revelation, the principle of causality, and freewill of choice. After examining those theological issues, the study found that al-Faruqi revitalized the classical position of ilm alkalam in some respects, thus, presented it in a new dimension. It is observed that al-Faruqi's approach to Ilm al-Kalam is very intelligible to the modern mind and to a modern age. Therefore, this study acknowledged his vital contributions in the development of ilm al-kalam.
Modernity has been posing serious challenges to the Muslim world and its society since the eighteenth century. However, these challenges took on a more definite shape in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The challenges were complex and covered all facets of Muslim life. This paper tries to explore how Muslims can respond effectively to those challenges posed by modernity, and what are the main responses of modernity formulated over the past century. The response to the challenges of modernity, in fact, may be considered as one of the characteristics of Islam as a religion that has always shown a living awareness of contemporary intellectual issues. AbstrakAliran modern telah merupakan suatu cabaran serius sejak abad kelapan belas bagi dunia Islam dan masyarakat Muslim. Walau bagaimanapun cabaran ini telah kelihatan lebih jelas pad abad kesembilan belas dan awal abad kedua puluhan. Cabaran dari aliran modern agak kompleks dan telah meliputi segala aspek kehidupan seorang Muslim. Memandangkan cabaran yang dihadapi dari aliran modern agak ketara, makalah ini merupakan suatu usaha untuk menerangkan bagaimana Ummat Islam boleh bertindak secara effektif terhadap cabaran yang datang dari aliran modern. Selain daripada itu, makalah ini juga mengupas cara-cara yang telah diguna pakai di abad yang lalu untuk menghadapi cabaran dari aliran modern. Respon terhadap aliran modern merupakan salah satu daripada ciri-ciri Islam sebagai agama yang mampu menghadapi cabaran semasa yang datang dari dunia intelektual.
