PERCEPTIONS OF NON-MUSLIM STUDENTS TOWARDS ISLAM AT MULTIMEDIA UNIVERSITY, MELAKA
Persepsi Pelajar Non-Muslim Terhadap Agama Islam di Universiti Multimedia, Melaka
Abstract
This study discusses the perceptions of non-Muslim students towards Islam at Multimedia University, Melaka. The research methodology used is a field study employing a questionnaire instrument. The results indicate that their perception of Islam is negative, with 15.8% expressing such views. However, the study also finds that in some aspects, they are open to Islam, such as in the context of Islamic morals, Islamic principles (obligations of prayer, fasting, and pilgrimage), and maintaining good relationships with their Muslim peers. Furthermore, the findings demonstrate that through lectures, Muslim faculty members can interact with non-Muslim students to engage in da'wah. Additionally, the Student Affairs Department (HEP), through the University's Surau Committee, plays a role in promoting da'wah to non-Muslims through a committee fully approved by the university. At the end of the study, the author suggests recommendations related to the aspects of da'wah, target audience, content, and methods of da'wah for non-Muslim students.
