Hi, currently I am embarking on the journey of PhD. My topic falls under the subject of software prototype development that can be used for solving issues in Islamic Studies?
In writing Methodology Chapter, I am still unclear on how to describe my Research Methodology for my software development. Appreciate if anyone could weigh in on this matter?
What type of software are developing? This will help readers to provide more specific answers.
Hi, it is more like Software to analysis the data. Data in Islamic Studies
You may suggest to make software on Zakah calculation, software on distribution of wealth by Islamic law of inheritance, software to detect haram products and services in the internet, database of Islamic scholars worldwide,. Best wishes for you. Keep me in your prayer
Muhamad Syazwan Faid , for software to analyze data, the first choice is if you are going to use a low level language, or something like R. R is popular, and if you use this approach there are lots of examples, places to publish the resulting package, and guidance. See https://cran.r-project.org/doc/contrib/Leisch-CreatingPackages.pdf
Basharat Hossain thanks! My subject is primarily on Islamic Astronomy, so my topic will falls under it.
Daniel Wright thanks for your help! I plan to use python for my PhD, since I Have experience of using it in the Industry. I come across this Research Methodology (Constructive Methodology) Since my PhD I plan to use a software to analysis and asses data in Islamic Studies, does it fall under Constructive Methodology? Appreciate your views in this matter!
What kind of data you want to assess in Islamic studies? When you talk about Islamic astronomy it means the work done by Muslim scientists on astronomy. It does not mean there is non compliant with Islamic school of thought astronomy in existing astronomy. In research when you plan to do something, first you need to prove that there is something lacking in the existing practices. For Islamic astronomy first you need to establish if there is any non Islamic astronomy ? And what objective you will achieve by Islamising the astronomy? What will happen when you will Islamize the astronomy?
Hi Mr Syed. Data that I want to analyse is the Astronomy Data that used for Islamic purposes, which generally includes Prayer Times, New Moon Visibility for Islamic New Month and Kiblat.
Of course I well understood and explored the research gap and literature in my field of study, I just wanted to know if any other researchers have any experience using computer science research methodology in Islamic Studies.
I believe that there is no issue of non-compliant in field of Islamic Astronomy. Rather than in field of Economics or Banking where issue of Islamization matters, Islamic Astronomy or in other Term Falak Syar'i simply refers to the study of Astronomy to the service of Islam, such as Prayer Times and Zakat. It has been explored for many decades, particularly in Malaysia and Indonesia.
Yes! You are very right! In your field it means using astronomical methodologies for the service of Islam! I think your question is related to astrophysics, the way you have explained it!
