Abstract

All Malaysian states hold autonomy over Islamic affairs, including the issuance of tauliah (accreditation) to teach Islam. This has led to a lack of procedural uniformity, bureaucratic hurdles, and inter-state restrictions on the movement of Islamic preachers. The frequency of interviews remains a major source of contention surrounding tauliah, compounded by long waiting periods for interview calls and brief application windows. These challenges significantly hinder and delay the Islamic preaching process, especially when compared to the relatively seamless and year-round approval of festivals and other social activities. This preliminary study seeks to examine the challenges and explore potential solutions within the tauliah system for Islamic teaching in Malaysia, with a focus on the need for national-level standardization. It outlines the essential requirements for cross-staterecognition and harmonization of tauliah curricula to ensure a more efficient process without undermining state authority. Ultimately, the study proposes a model for national tauliah standardization through strategic collaboration between the State Islamic Religious Councils (MAIN), State Islamic Departments (JAIN), and the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM). The implication is a more inclusive and comprehensive approach to Islamic preaching that aligns with the needs of contemporary Muslim society in Malaysia.
