Abstract

The legal system in Malaysia is uniquely characterised by the presence of dual legal system namely civil and Shariah. Therefore, following the requirement imposed by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA), Malaysian Islamic Legal System (MILS) has been introduced as a compulsory subject for law students in all universities in Malaysia including UniversitiTeknologi MARA. However, there is an inherent perception that studying law is intricate in terms of the multifarious sources, the content and the jargon. This is further aggravated by the fact that Islamic law is flooded with Arabic terminologies due to its origin. Students’ final examination results from 2013-2018 were analysed using descriptive analysis. It was revealed that there is an increasing percentage of failure rates. Among the reasons identified for the failure rates are due to difficulty in understanding the subject, information are scattered in textbooks and difficulty in accessing online database for legal cases, statutory provisions or articles. This paper will discuss the role of MyMurobbias an alternative method in learning MILS subject. MyMurobbi is developed to provide a user-friendly, easy access, inexpensive and reliable platform providing verified information on Islamic legal system within Malaysian context.
