Hudud Law is a punishment prescribed by Allah s.w.t to be used as a guide to Muslim countries governments in prosecuting cases involving crimes. In 2015, the government of Kelantan proposed and approved for the implementation of this law and the same intention is also to be implemented by the government of Terengganu. This issue has raised various negative and positive perceptions among the Malaysian Muslim or non-Muslim. This study used purposive sampling to investigate the perception of civil servants, especially among hospital staff in Terengganu specifically in its implementation. This study distributed a total of 200 self-administered questionnaires to hospital staff Hulu Terengganu. The data analysis employed IBMSPSS 20 to obtain mean, percentage and frequency to elaborate the findings. The study found that most of the respondents viewed that Hudud should be implemented with the aim to prevent formidable criminals. Thus, this study also serves to reject the claim that the Hudud law is not relevant for implementation in the future Abstrak Hukuman hudud merupakan hukuman yang telah ditetapkan oleh Allah S.W.T untuk digunakan sebagai panduan kepada para pemerintah di negara Islam dalam mengadili kes-kes yang melibatkan jenayah. Pada tahun 2015, kerajaan negeri Kelantan mengusulkan dan meluluskan untuk melaksanakan undang-undang ini dan hasrat yang serupa juga ingin dilaksanakan oleh kerajaan negeri Terengganu. Perihal ini menimbulkan pelbagai persepsi negatif dan positif sama ada dalam kalangan masyarakat Muslim atau bukan Muslim di Malaysia. Kajian ini adalah bersifat kajian bertujuan (purposive sampling) dan objektif kajian ini dijalankan ialah untuk mengkaji persepsi penjawat awam khususnya dalam kalangan kakitangan hospital di negeri Terengganu terhadap pelaksanaan hukuman hudud di negara ini. Kajian ini menggunakan metodologi kuantitatif dengan sebanyak 200 borang soal selidik telah diedarkan kepada kakitangan hospital Hulu Terengganu. Data-data diukur dengan IBMSPSS 20 dengan menggunakan min, peratus dan kekerapan bagi menerangkan hasil kajian. Hasil kajian mendapati kebanyakkan responden berpandangan hukuman hudud wajar dilaksanakan dengan tujuan menggerunkan penjenayah. Justeru, kajian ini juga berperanan bagi menjelaskan bagi menolak dakwaan bahawa hukum hudud tidak relevan dilaksanakan pada masa kini.
Economic transactions based on usury are one of the activities that have been carried out before the advent of Islam and it is still practiced today. From the perspective of celestial religion, economic activities based on usury have adverse implications and injustice especially to the borrowers. Civil servants are a group that earns a steady income even though the country is facing an uncertain economic environment. In Malaysia, teachers are the largest group of civil servants, comprising one-third of the total. The objective of this study was to look at the knowledge among Muslim teachers about the basics of the concept of riba. Furthermore, look at the influence of knowledge in determining their attitude to make a loan or transaction of a product offered by the bank. This study was conducted through research sampling technique with questionnaire method used as research method. Thus, a total of 255 Muslim teachers in the Sungai Buloh district were selected as study participants. The findings show that the majority of Muslim teachers in the Sungai Buloh district have a high level of knowledge about the basics of usury, but in more specific matters it is found that their level of knowledge is moderate. Taking into account the knowledge of teachers on the religious prohibition of engaging in any form of activity that contains elements of usury, it was found that their attitude is quite cautious in choosing transactions in the bank.
