Stressful modern lifestyles are shifting public trends in favour of searching for holistic and complimentary forms of therapy such as meditative practices and music. Marketing often addresses the public interest in such therapies using recent neuroscientifi c evidence that provides the brain science basis as being due to functional source localisations for the music-related and meditation therapies. Reported brain signals derive from specifi c brain areas, such as the prefrontal and anterior cingulate cortex. Numerous data on cerebral representations for rhythmic music therapy refl ect its role as an aesthetic stimulus in inducing internalised emotions, or 'musical chills'. Correspondingly, this has provided a supportive neural basis linkage on brain circuitry previously observed in studies of biologically rewarding stimuli. However, such neural associations with the attentive and melodic verses of the Noble Qur'an remain unclear. Postulating from these conceptual and neuroscientifi c foundations, we seek to uncover the neural representation for the distinctive melodic and rhythmic recitation of the Qur'an using state-of-the-art tools such as the 128-channel electroencephalography and 306-channel magnetoencephalography.
The knowledge of Qiraat is seen to have begun to grow nowadays, especially since there are schools that offer study programs related to it. However, the level of mastery of this study is still lacking. Therefore, this study was conducted to analyze factors that influence the mastery of the knowledge of Qiraat at Sultan Ismail Petra International Islamic College (KIAS). This study is a quantitative pilot study that uses a set of questionnaires as an instrument to obtain data and SPSS 21.0 is used to analyse the data. A sample of 30 students who studied Diploma Qiraat and Taranum program at Sultan Ismail Petra International Islamic College (KIAS) from 2018 to 2020. A total of 15 items include theory and practical are presented in the questionnaire. The study found that the level of mastery of students related to the study of the knowledge of Qiraat is at a moderate level. This finding is supported by data obtained from theory and practical. Therefore, factors of improving the teaching and learning process in theory and practical should be enhanced so that the mastery of the knowledge of Qiraat among students can be improved to a better level.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
