Maqasid syariah and safety aspects in infrastructure and health of education practices in Malaysia

Abstract

Maqasid Syariah is the primary basis for the formation of the National Education Policy. It also illustrates the government's earnest efforts in expanding the potential of the individual in a comprehensive and integrated manner, comprising the balance and stability of all perspectives including intellect, spiritual, cognitive and physical in harmony with the principles contained in Maqasid Syariah such as preserving religion, life, intellect, wealth and lineage. This effort also demonstrates the government's seriousness in safeguarding and preserving the well-being of all Malaysians who are multiracial and multicultural through the system and regulations that are in accordance with siyasah syar'iyyah. However, recently, there are several important issues that have disrupted the government's efforts, especially on the aspect of safety in the education sector. The neglection of this aspect, if not handled effectively, can affect the performance of excellence and the entire educational goals that have been planned. Therefore, this article will discuss the security aspects of education by focusing on indicators such as infrastructure, health, identity, thinking and legislation. The discussion concluded that there should be a holistic and practical strategy that must be immediately implemented to form a comprehensive indicator to address the safety and security aspects in education based on the goals of principles contained in the Maqasid Syariah and the national education plan. © 2018 IAEME.
