Abstract
Purpose of the study: The primary aim of this study is to explore the feasibility of Maqasid Shariah Quality of Life (MSQoL) in the drug-abuse inmates’ research. MSQoL is a recent theory formulated in terms of quality of life. Therefore, MSQoL proceeds to examine the association of family social support and prison climate rehabilitation on quality of life among drug-abuse inmates.
Methodology: This study conceptually focused on a comprehensive analysis of MSQoL, family social support, and prison climate rehabilitation among drug abuse inmates.
Main Finding: Researchers propose a model of MSQoL from dimensions of religion and life. Also, this research aims to link both dimensions to family social support and prison climate rehabilitation.
Applications of this study: This study will make practical contributions to the Malaysian Prison Department on aspects related to improving drug-abuse inmates’ quality of life on designing appropriate policies and strategies.
Novelty/Originality of this study: The current research provides a theoretical framework for prospective researchers engaged in prison studies. Since the quality of life has become the government’s priorities under the 12th Malaysia Plan (2021-2025), the promotion of a new model is essential for a better quality of life of Malaysians.
