Abstract

Abstract: Death khairat or known as death charity, and funeral administration are closely related concepts. Considering the tradition of managing the remains of the deceased within the Malaysian community, the average mosque institution has formed its own Death Khairat Money Scheme (DKMS). While Skim Wang Khairat Kematian (SWKK) is the Malay term for managing the procedure and equipment of the corpse. This DKMS is a fund intended to prepare in the event of death without considering financial matters in managing the deceased’s remains. The management of DKMS in mosque institutions is not uniform and varies from location to location. This shows that the implementation of the DKMS model is flexible and not strict, depending on the suitability of the population and area. Hence, a random study has investigated the DKMS model implemented in several Malaysian states. A qualitative methodology has already been implemented based on a literature review and interviews with DKMS managers at the mosque, such as the DKMS chairman, DKMS treasurer, and DKMS secretary. As a result, a new model can be proposed to help mosque institutions develop and implement DKMS more effectively and brilliantly. Next, it is hoped that the new model will significantly impact the Muslim community, especially among the youth participating in this DKMS.

 

Abstrak: Khairat kematian dan pengurusan jenazah adalah satu terma yang saling berkait rapat antara satu sama lain. Melihat kepada adat pengurusan jenazah masyarakat di Malaysia, rata-rata institusi masjid telah mengadakan dan mewujudkan khairat kematiannya yang tersendiri ataupun nama lainnya ialah Skim Wang Khairat Kematian (SWKK) bagi menguruskan proses dan kelengkapan perihal jenazah. SWKK ini merupakan satu tabung yang bertujuan sebagai persediaan apabila berlakunya sesuatu kematian tanpa perlu memikirkan soal kewangan dalam pengurusan Jemaah si mati. Namun begitu, pengurusan SWKK di institusi masjid dilihat tidak seragam dan berbeza dari satu tempat ke satu tempat. Ini menunjukan bahawa pelaksanaan model SWKK ini adalah fleksibel dan tidak ketat bergantung kepada kesesuaian penduduk dan kawasan. Oleh yang demikian, satu kajian secara rawak telah dilakukan bagi mengkaji model SWKK yang telah diaplikasikan di beberapa negeri di Malaysia. Metode kualitatif melalui pendekatan kajian kepustakaan dan temu bual bersama para pengurus SWKK di institusi masjid seperti pengerusi SWKK, bendahari SWKK dan juga setiausaha SWKK telah pun dilakukan. Natijahnya, satu model baharu dapat dicadangkan bagi membantu institusi masjid mengembangkan dan melaksanakan SWKK dengan lebih berkesan dan cemerlang. Seterusnya, diharapkan supaya model baharu tersebut mampu memberi impak yang besar terhadap masyarakat Muslim terutama di kalangan belia dalam menyertai SWKK ini.
