Abstract

European students started arriving in the Dutch East Indies in the 18th century. Later in the 20th century, the Dutch began implementing various technologies in irrigation, roads, railways, shipping, and industry. Colonial politics gave scientists and engineers an important and strategic place in the Dutch East Indies government. The central question guiding this research is, “What role did scientists and engineers play in the modernization of the Dutch East Indies from 1778 to 1942?”. This historical research uses various archives at ANRI and newspapers from the colonial era to explore the role of scientists and engineers in developing science and technology and the transformation of the Dutch East Indies. The development of science and technology in the Dutch East Indies was intricately linked to Dutch colonial politics, disease outbreaks, capitalism’s growth, and modernization. The findings of this research show the role of engineers in various projects for the construction of irrigation canals, ports, dams, roads, railways, trams, mines, telegraphs, airplanes, weapons, industry, and radio. These various projects impacted community mobility, city development, provision of clothing and food, employment opportunities, and other socio-economic impacts. Dutch scientists’ activities initially had a limited impact on colonial society due to their elitist nature, lack of social support, bureaucratic obstacles, and entanglements in the political sphere. Dutch scientists have important positions in various research institutions, including botany, archaeology, physics, and the chemical industry. Pelajar Eropa mulai berdatangan ke Hindia Belanda pada abad ke-18. Kemudian pada abad ke-20, Belanda mulai menerapkan berbagai teknologi di bidang irigasi, jalan raya, kereta api, pelayaran, dan industri. Politik kolonial memberikan kedudukan penting dan strategis bagi para ilmuwan dan insinyur dalam pemerintahan Hindia Belanda. Pertanyaan sentral yang memandu penelitian ini adalah, “Apa peran ilmuwan dan insinyur dalam modernisasi Hindia Belanda pada tahun 1778 hingga 1942?”. Penelitian sejarah ini menggunakan berbagai arsip di ANRI dan surat kabar masa kolonial untuk menggali peran ilmuwan dan insinyur dalam pengembangan ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi serta transformasi Hindia Belanda. Perkembangan ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi di Hindia Belanda erat kaitannya dengan politik kolonial Belanda, wabah penyakit, pertumbuhan kapitalisme, dan modernisasi. Temuan penelitian ini menunjukkan peran insinyur dalam berbagai proyek pembangunan saluran irigasi, pelabuhan, bendungan, jalan raya, kereta api, trem, pertambangan, telegraf, pesawat terbang, senjata, industri, dan radio. Berbagai proyek tersebut berdampak pada mobilitas masyarakat, perkembangan kota, penyediaan sandang dan pangan, kesempatan kerja, dan dampak sosial ekonomi lainnya. Aktivitas ilmuwan Belanda pada awalnya berdampak terbatas pada masyarakat kolonial karena sifatnya yang elitis, kurangnya dukungan sosial, hambatan birokrasi, dan keterikatan dalam ranah politik. Ilmuwan Belanda mempunyai posisi penting di berbagai lembaga penelitian, termasuk botani, arkeologi, fisika, dan industri kimia.

Abstract

The focus of this paper reconstructs how the history and who was the carrier of the Qadian Ahmadiyah sect in the early days of its entry into Riau Province and examines its distribution areas. As well as explaining the development of the existence of the Qadian Ahmadiyah Jema'at in Riau Province, which faced pressure from the government and society. The research method used is the historical method through four stages, namely first, heuristics, which is the stage of collecting data in the form of documents or books, articles, journals, and interviews. Second, source criticism, namely testing data by conducting internal and external criticism of data from various sources. Third, interpretation, which is the interpretation of data so that it becomes a meaningful fact. The last stage is historiography or historical writing. The results showed that the entry of the Qadian Ahmadiyah teachings into Riau Province was influenced by Ahmadis from West Sumatra because Riau Province is an overseas area from West Sumatra. As a result, Ahmadiyah teachings spread in this region through close relationships between these migrants. Second, the entry of Qadian Ahmadiyah teachings in Riau Province was also influenced by Qadian Ahmadis from Yogyakarta who transmigrated and settled in Kota Bangun Village, Kampar, Riau.

Abstract

The Hajj pilgrimage is one of the largest annual mass gatherings in the world, and has been held for a long time. This study presents an overview of a systematic research of published literature on the Role of the Governments of Indonesia and Saudi Arabia in organizing of the Hajj pilgrimage from 2015 until 2021 Period, with the aim of providing policy recommendations for the future. From this research, it can be concluded that the implementation of Hajj pilgirmage in Indonesia is strongly influenced by the bilateral relations between the two countries. This can be seen from a historical perspective, since Indonesia's independence there were quite a lot of pilgrims from Indonesia. The relationship between Indonesia and Saudi Arabia has been established from colonial era until now. In the future, bilateral relations between Indonesia and Saudi Arabia in the context of organizing the Hajj will continue to be intensified. Considering that for the past 2 years, Indonesia has not sent hajj pilgrims due to the pandemic, as well as Saudi Arabia which has not opened its doors for hajj pilgrims outside of Arabia for 2 years, Indonesia and Saudi Arabia good governance diplomacy is the solution for better implementation of the Hajj Pilgrimage in the future.

The United States is one of the countries that established Palestine as a state. The struggle for Palestine to get full membership status in the United Nations (UN) also often gets a veto from the United States. The United States rejects Palestine at UNESCO because according to America, membership status as a country cannot determine the decision of the UN Security Council first. The research method used in this research is descriptive research method, and the writer will use secondary data. This paper examines the United States' policy towards UNESCO after the membership of Palestine for the 2012-2017 period. The conclusion of this research is that the United States officially left UNESCO after Palestine joined the organization.

Abstract

KH. Abdullah Syafi'i (1910–1985) was a central Betawi scholar whose influence on Islamic education and urban da'wah in Jakarta remains understudied, particularly in relation to how his institutions navigated the intersection of pesantren traditions and educational modernization. Previous scholarship has largely focused on his biography or community activism, leaving a gap in explaining the structural transformation of Betawi-based Islamic schools and their contribution to the development of urban pesantren in Indonesia. This study addresses that gap by analyzingAbdullah Syafi'i’s educational initiatives, socio-religious leadership, and da'wah strategies within the broader evolution of modern Indonesian Islamic education. Employing a qualitative historical-sociological approach, the study draws on archival documents, institutional records, and selective interviews to trace the development of the As-Syafi'iyah educational network. The findings reveal that Abdullah Syafi'i introduced an integrated religious–general curriculum, strengthened mass da'wah through organized majelis taklim, utilized radio as a pioneering medium for Islamic outreach, and established orphan-based boarding schools as a model of urban social empowerment. The study argues that Abdullah Syafi'i represents a distinctive model of urban ulama who simultaneously preserved tradition and advanced modernization. His contributions expand the scholarly understanding of Indonesian Islamic education, offering an urban-based perspective on pesantren reform that challenges dominant rural and Java-centric frameworks.

Abstract

Penelitian ini menguji kesahihan tanda waqaf di surah Yasin pada aplikasi Yasin dan Tahlil populer, dengan membandingkannya terhadap Mushaf Standar Indonesia (MSI). Rasm, harakat, dhabt, dan tanda waqaf merupakan aspek krusial dalam kesahihan penulisan Al-Qur'an, baik dalam bentuk cetak maupun digital. Dengan menggunakan teknik observasi, dokumentasi, dan analisis komparatif, penelitian ini menemukan bahwa: Mayoritas aplikasi (5 dari 9) memiliki persentase kesesuaian di atas 90% dengan MSI. Dua aplikasi bahkan mencapai 100% kesesuaian: aplikasi Yasin Full Offline MP3 (Yuk Ngaji) dan aplikasi Surah Yasin dan Tahlil Lengkap (Pustaka Muslim). Menariknya, keduanya memiliki jumlah pengguna kurang dari 100 ribu. Dua aplikasi menunjukkan tingkat kesesuaian yang sangat rendah, dengan salah satunya hanya 2% kesesuaian, meskipun memiliki lebih dari 1 juta pengguna. Temuan ini menyoroti bahwa popularitas aplikasi tidak menjamin kesahihan tanda waqafnya. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan pengawasan dari Lajnah Pentashihan Mushaf Al-Qur’an (LPMQ) dan edukasi masyarakat mengenai pentingnya menggunakan aplikasi Al-Qur'an yang sesuai dengan MSI.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of restricting women's rights on the development of civilization, focusing on the condition of women in Afghanistan after the Taliban regained power. The method used is qualitative analysis with a descriptive approach based on secondary data from international reports, scholarly articles, and reliable news sources. The study results show that restrictions on women's rights and roles in various aspects of life, such as education, employment, and social participation, negatively affect societal and civilizational progress. The discussion reveals that the systemic injustice experienced by women in Afghanistan not only suppresses individual rights but also slows down the country's social and economic development. In conclusion, policies that limit women's roles can hinder or even halt the progress of civilization, highlighting the need for global efforts to promote gender equality and the protection of human rights.

Abstract

Contemporary scholarship on Islamic moderation has largely emphasized normative doctrines, state policies, and institutional reforms, while paying limited attention to the historical social processes through which moderation emerged in post-conflict Muslim societies. This article examines the reconstruction of religious authority and social reconciliation in Minangkabau following the Padri War (1830–1869), focusing on the role of Surau Calau as a center of intellectual and social transformation. Employing a social-historical approach combined with philological analysis of Jawi manuscripts, the study investigates the interaction between the surau institution, local textual traditions, and the leadership of Sheikh Abdul Wahab Calau in shaping a contextually grounded model of Islamic authority. The findings identify three interconnected processes. First, Surau Calau functioned as an inclusive social space that fostered hybrid religious authority and mediated post-war ideological divisions within Minangkabau society. Second, Jawi manuscripts facilitated intellectual vernacularization by translating Islamic metaphysical and ethical concepts into locally intelligible agrarian analogies, enhancing their cultural resonance and social acceptance. Third, reconciliation was institutionalized through collaboration between religious scholars and traditional chiefs in educational governance and communal rituals, creating a durable framework for social cohesion. The study argues that Islamic moderation emerged through negotiated authority, vernacular knowledge production, and cross-communal cooperation, offering broader insights into post-conflict reconciliation and religious coexistence in plural societies.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the economic system in the Middle East based on the available literature. The research method used is content analysis in the type of semiotic analysis. This type of semiotic content analysis method is considered in accordance with the data used by researchers, namely literature or text, both verbal and nonverbal. The results of this study indicate that the economic system in the Middle East is considered dynamic. This condition occurs to compensate for the complex problems in the region. However, among 10 countries in the Middle East, only Syria is closed about the economic system used by its country. The economic system in the Middle East does not seem to be fixated on the long history of the development of economic thought in the early days of Islam, the arrival of Western colonialism, the emergence of nation states in the Middle East, to the explosion of the potential wealth of natural resources of the Middle East in contemporary times

Abstract

The Saudi Arabia Kingdom has a long history of applying Islamic law as a reference for state policies. The modernization that has taken place in Saudi Arabia certainly intersected with Wahhabism, adopted as the central ideology of the Saudi Arabia Kingdom. This study discusses Saudi Arabia's modernization efforts,  which were initiated by Muhammad bin Salman’s Vision 2030. This study was designed with a descriptive-qualitative research method and used a literature review as the data collection technique. The theories used include Talcott Parsons' structural, functional theory with a decision-making process approach and the modernization theory by Inglehart and Welzel. The results revealed that the reign of King Salman and the Saudi Arabia Kingdom implemented Vision 2030 as a modernization of Muhammad bin Salman. Saudi Arabia's administration has gone through considerable changes from time to time. Societies once known to be conservative were able to quickly implement the economic and social reforms that began to lead to a liberal system. This is owing to the king's great power and the assurance of state welfare.
