Summary: | This study focuses on two groups of the Malay communities from different religious
background. In the context of Brunei Darussalam (BD), the notion of Malay is defined
differently compared to the definition of Malay from the Malay Archipelago perspective.
The Constitution of Brunei Darussalam 1959 conceptualize the word Malay as a origin
people of Brunei regardless of their religions and ethnics. This include Muslims as
majority and non-Muslims such as Christian Protestan, Catholics, Buddhists and Pagan.
From a religiosity perspective, Malay Muslims and Malay Protestants share some
similarities particularly in practicing the concept of repentance as an alternative solution
in resolving the issues related to soul, social and global. Therefore, this study aims to
investigate the concept of repentance, its practices and understanding from Muslims and
Christian Protestants point of views. This include analyzing their perceptions,
implementations and comparative analysis from both targeted groups. Mixed method
approach, combining quantitative and qualitative analysis are employed for data
collection in both field work and library research. Qualitative approach in this study
employ observations, interviews and open ended questions. Whereas, quantitative
approach utilize questionnaire which are distributed among Malay Muslims and Malay
Protestants in the district of Temburong, Brunei. Conceptually, the concept of repentance,
its definition, religious rulings and the purpose of repentance have some similarities
between Islam and Christian Protestan perspectives. However, the perspective of
repentance differs between Islam and Christian Protestan in their characteristics,
purposes, authority of granting forgiveness and the implementation. Findings of
qualitative data show that both Malay Muslims and Christians have some similarities in
their perception of repentance and their understanding in seeking forgiveness, however,
both groups are differs in their way of practicing repentance in the society. Findings of
the quantitative data reveal different levels of understanding the concept of repentance. In addition, it is found that the knowledge of repentance is relatively high in both groups
of Muslims and Christians. However, the mean score of repentance implementation
among Malay Muslims are higher compared to Malay Protestants. Furthermore, the
practice of repentance is more appealing among Malay Muslims group even though there
are few basic points that require more attention among them. In comparison, Malay
Protestan understand less about the concept of repentance due to a flexibility concept of
repentance implementation in Christianity and it is free from religious ruling which
impacted their way of life. |
