Adapting a Design and Development Research (DDR) Approach in Developing Muslim Personality Models for Hijrah NGOs Lesbian, Gay, and Transgender

Abstract

The Muslim Personality Model (Persona) for Lesbian, Gay, and Transgender (LGT) Hijra in Malaysia should be developed by Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs). Previous studies have limitations in developing the Muslim Personality Model (Persona), and it is imperative to include Islamic well-being and personality elements. It can be explained that for those LGTs who insist on or are on-going to transform themselves to be better Muslims, it is challenging if there is no proposed model to be a guide. As Muslims, their faith in Islam fluctuates, but the development of a model can support and guide them in transforming their lives from being associated with homosexuality.This research focuses on developing a Muslim Personality Model for NGOs LGT Hijrah in Malaysia. Therefore, this paper proposes to adopt the Design and Development Research (DDR) approach to develop a Muslim Personality Model among NGOs hijrah in Malaysia. Following the DDR steps, three phases will be carried out: needs analysis, model design and development, and model evaluation. Each phase will use and apply a different type of participant, procedure, and analysis. Overall, the model is expected to benefit NGOs, particularly NGO advisers, by assisting them in developing their Muslim personalities.
