| Summary: | In Islam, sharia and akhlaq are very fundamental in its teaching and so is aqeedah. It is another
significant foundation and the three are inter-linked to each other. Aqeedah forms the basis of iman
(firm belief), hence if one of the components is missing, one’s iman is lost or later becomes
unbalanced. The basis of this study was to address the prevalent issues of Islamic aqeedah, its
concepts and their relevancy in the study of Malay genome in Malaysia. Besides, needs consideration
were also discussed in implementing aqeedah-compliance index when conducting genome studies and
researches so that they will not contradict the Islamic ethics and faith. This is also to avoid the
destruction of humanity and also capable of providing a system that will solve the problems of
humanity. In Malaysia, the studies of Malay genome have been administered by the Centre for
Pharmacogenomics (iPROMISE), Faculty of Pharmacy, UiTM Puncak Alam Campus, Selangor
Malaysia and the Faculty of Applied Science, UiTM Shah Alam Campus, Selangor Malaysia. Overall,
researches on Malay genome have successfully developed a database of Malay genetic structure to
help developing new drugs and vaccines, diagnosing diseases as well as providing links for these
diseases to drugs commonly used for treating. Apparently, much effort has been made to determine
the role of genetic variation and its imbalance patterns towards diseases. |
