| Summary: | Muslim participation in sports activities is undoubtedly inevitable. In every segment of
human life, sport is considered as a tool for bringing people together; as a mechanism to
educate people, especially in educational institutions and as a platform for the
socializing process. From the medical perspective, sports activities could promote
physical and psychological wellness too. However, the sport has been tailored by the
regulations that most of the time, hindered for Muslim from participating. Similar to
another form of culture, the sport has experienced secularisation which is a fundamental
principle of westernization that has significant influence of Muslim sports participation
especially in the era of Fourth Industrial Revolution (IR 4.0). Therefore, the application
of Maqāṣid al-Sharī’ah in sport is substantial to every practicing Muslim as it has yet to
be passably researched. This paper aims to elucidate the role of Maqāṣid al-Sharī’ah in
the context of sport and Muslim participation. It also discerns challenges facing by
practicing Muslim while participating in sports. To obtain meaningful information for
this paper, we gathered materials from secondary data, especially from peer-review articles and selected monographs. The content analysis has been conducted to see
variations of opinions relating to the issues. The study suggested that Muslim
researchers have abandoned sport-related studies and religion. The paper also revealed
that the scope of Maqāṣid al-Sharī’ah is hugely exclusive. Also, practicing Muslim
participation in today’s sport is facing new challenges which require methodical
discussion and interpretation from experts. In essence, in lieu of solely contribute to the
development of new knowledge, this articles has a practical contribution to related
authorities in sports and education, particularly in the Muslim majority populated
countries.

Penyertaan komuniti Muslim dalam aktiviti kesukanan tidak pasti dapat dielakkan.
Dalam setiap kehidupan manusia, sukan dianggap sebagai alat untuk menyatukan umat
manusia bersama-sama; sebagai satu mekanisme untuk mendidik orang ramai,
terutamanya di institusi pendidikan dan sebagai platform untuk proses sosialisasi. Dari
perspektif perubatan, aktiviti sukan juga dapat meningkatkan kesihatan fizikal dan
psikologi. Walau bagaimanapun, sukan ini telah direka oleh peraturan-peraturan yang
kebanyakannya menghalang proses untuk orang-orang Muslim daripada menyertainya.
Serupa dengan entity-entiti lain dalam budaya, sukan telah mengalami proses
sekularisasi yang merupakan salah satu prinsip asas proses membaratkan
(westernization) yang mempunyai pengaruh yang besar dalam penyertaan sukan dalam
kalangan orang-orang Muslim terutamanya pada era Revolusi Perindustrian keempat
(IR 4.0). Oleh itu, penggunaan konsep Maqāṣid al-Sharī’ah dalam sukan adalah besar
sehingga setiap Muslim mengamalkan kerana ia masih belum dapat secara tuntas dikaji.
Kertas ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan peranan Maqāṣid al-Sharī’ah dalam konteks
sukan dan penglibatan Muslim. Ia juga menyingkap cabaran-cabaran yang dihadapi
oleh mengamalkan Islam ketika terlibat dalam sukan. Untuk mendapatkan maklumat
penting bagi kertas ini, kami mengumpulkan bahan-bahan daripada data sekunder,
terutama daripada artikel dan monograf terpilih. Analisis kandungan telah dijalankan
untuk melihat perbezaan pendapat mengenai isu-isu tersebut. Kajian ini mencadangkan
bahawa penyelidik Muslim telah mengabaikan pengajian berkaitan sukan dan agama.
Penulisan ini juga mendedahkan bahawa skop Maqāṣid al-Sharī’ah adalah sangat
eksklusif. Selain itu, pengamalam cara hidup Islam dalam konteks sukan hari berdepan
cabaran-cabaran baru yang memerlukan perbincangan analitikal dan tafsiran daripada
pakar-pakar. Pada dasarnya, artikel ini dilihat memberi sumbangan yang praktikal
kepada pihak berkuasa yang berkaitan sukan dan pendidikan, terutamanya di negaranegara majoriti penduduknya adalah Muslim. |
