HAMKA's Approach in Dealing with the Orphans in Tafsir al-Azhar: A Comparative Study with the Current Issues and Implementations in Malaysia
Keywords:
Orphans, HAMKA, Tafsir al-Azhar, Malaysia, Indonesia, holistic approachAbstract
Hamka's approach in dealing with orphans, as presented in his Tafsir al-Azhar, emphasises the importance of providing holistic care and support for these vulnerable members of society. This approach includes not only meeting their basic needs for food, shelter, and education, but also addressing their emotional and psychological needs through nurturing relationships and a supportive community from a Quranic worldview. This comparative study examines the implementation of Hamka's approach in Malaysia, with a focus on current issues and challenges faced in providing adequate care for orphans. Employing a qualitative method of research, the study highlights the importance of incorporating Hamka's holistic approach in addressing the complex needs of orphans, and explores ways in which this approach can be adapted and improved to better serve the needs of orphans in Malaysia. Through an analysis of both Hamka's approach and current practices in Malaysia, this study provides insights and recommendations for policymakers, practitioners, and other stakeholders involved in the care of orphans. Ultimately, the study aims to recognise the contribution of Hamka to ongoing efforts to improve the lives and well-being of orphans in Malaysia and beyond.
