Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of the Saudization policy on Indonesian migrant workers in Saudi Arabia. Saudization is a Saudi government initiative that aims to increase local labor participation in the economy, reduce dependence on foreign labor, and is part of a broader effort designed under Vision 2030. This research uses qualitative methods through literature review and analysis of relevant government policies to assess how this policy affects employment opportunities, working conditions, and remittances sent by Indonesian migrant workers. The results show that Saudization has resulted in a significant decrease in employment opportunities for Indonesian migrant workers, with the construction sector experiencing a decrease in migrant worker acceptance of up to 20% and a 25% decrease in remittances to Indonesia. Working conditions for migrant workers remaining in Saudi Arabia have also deteriorated, including a 15% reduction in average wages. In response, migrant workers are adopting various adaptation strategies, including skills upgrading, diversification of migration destinations, and self-employment. The Indonesian government has increased diplomatic efforts to protect migrant workers, signed new agreements for worker protection, and promoted training to improve workers' skills. This study suggests that policies such as Saudization require a broader international coordination approach to ensure that national labor policies do not harm migrant workers and disrupt the global economy.

Abstract

The transformation of Wahhabism in Saudi Arabia within the framework of Vision 2030 reflects a fundamental shift in the relationship between religion, state, and society. Although Wahhabism has historically served as the ideological foundation of the Saudi kingdom since the 18th century, the modernization policies promoted by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman have systematically pushed for a reformulation of this doctrine. This study adopts a qualitative approach using literature review methods to analyze the state's strategies in reconstructing Wahhabism and their socio-political implications. The primary focus includes the redefinition of religious discourse, co-optation of the clerical establishment, and the deconstruction of Wahhabi symbols in public spaces. Moreover, the study highlights the impact of these changes on the legitimacy of political power, the role of clerics, and the relationship between religion and the state. Utilizing institutional and discourse analysis frameworks, this research finds that the state is not only reshaping internal ideological structures but is also repositioning religion as a tool for development and social control. The findings indicate a shift from religion-based legitimacy to performance-based legitimacy, alongside the marginalization of independent clerics and the institutionalization of a more pragmatic, state-defined version of Islam.

Abstract

This study critically examines how Sufism, as the esoteric dimension of Islam, functions—and is contested—as a form of emancipatory praxis fostering human solidarity within hierarchically structured societies in South Asia. Historically, Sufism has contributed to the formation of spiritual and social spaces that potentially transcend religious, ethnic, and caste boundaries. Within Hindu-influenced cultural contexts marked by inherited caste stratification, Sufi teachings articulate an alternative ethical paradigm grounded in tawḥīd, rearticulated as a theological critique of caste hierarchy, religious elitism, and social stratification, alongside principles of universal love (maḥabbah). Drawing on Paulo Freire’s theory of social emancipation and Asghar Ali Engineer’s Islamic liberation theology, this study employs a qualitative critical approach To analyze both the emancipatory potential and structural limitations of Sufism as a humanistic practice. The analysis focuses on Sufi shrines, devotional practices, and inter-communal interactions as sites in which equality and solidarity are negotiated within everyday social life. The findings suggest that while Sufi praxis can generate inclusive spaces and foster critical awareness among marginalized communities, its emancipatory capacity remains contingent upon broader power relations, socio-economic inequalities, and the institutionalization of spiritual authority. Studi ini secara kritis mengkaji bagaimana Sufisme, sebagai dimensi esoteris Islam, berfungsi—dan sekaligus diperdebatkan—sebagai suatu bentuk praksis emansipatoris yang menumbuhkan solidaritas kemanusiaan dalam masyarakat Asia Selatan yang terstruktur secara hierarkis. Secara historis, Sufisme telah berkontribusi pada pembentukan ruang-ruang spiritual dan sosial yang berpotensi melampaui batas-batas agama, etnis, dan kasta. Dalam konteks kebudayaan yang dipengaruhi oleh tradisi Hindu dan ditandai oleh stratifikasi kasta yang diwariskan, ajaran-ajaran Sufi merumuskan suatu paradigma etis alternatif yang berlandaskan pada tawḥīd, yang direartikulasi sebagai kritik teologis terhadap sistem kasta, elitisme keagamaan, dan hierarki sosial, serta didukung oleh prinsip cinta universal (maḥabbah). Dengan merujuk pada teori emansipasi sosial Paulo Freire dan teologi pembebasan Islam Asghar Ali Engineer, studi ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif-kritis untuk menganalisis baik potensi emansipatoris maupun keterbatasan struktural Sufisme sebagai praktik humanistik. Analisis difokuskan pada makam-makam suci Sufi, praktik-praktik devosional, dan interaksi antar-komunitas sebagai arena tempat nilai-nilai kesetaraan dan solidaritas dinegosiasikan dalam kehidupan sosial sehari-hari. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa meskipun praksis Sufi mampu menciptakan ruang-ruang inklusif dan menumbuhkan kesadaran kritis di kalangan komunitas yang terpinggirkan, kapasitas emansipatorisnya tetap bergantung pada relasi kuasa yang lebih luas, ketimpangan sosial-ekonomi, serta proses institusionalisasi otoritas spiritual.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to ascertain how Islamic banking's financial performance and macroeconomic conditions affect its profitability. The object of this study is Islamic banking in Indonesia from 2015 to 2024, in the form of Sharia Commercial Banks (BUS) and Sharia Business Units (UUS). The independent variables in this study are macroeconomics which is measured through financial ratios, namely inflation and the Rupiah exchange rate (exchange rate) and for financial performance is measured through financial ratios, namely Financing to Deposit Ratio (FDR), Non-Performing Financing (NPF) and Operating Expenses of Operating Income (BOPO), while the dependent variable, namely profitability is measured through Return on Asset (ROA). The data used is monthly financial statement data for the last 10 years taken quarterly (per 3 months) starting from March 2015 to December 2024. The data was analyzed using multiple regression methods. The NPF and BOPO variables had a somewhat significant impact on ROA, according to the t-test results.  In the meantime, ROA was only marginally impacted by the factors of inflation, exchange rates, and FDR.  The F test findings demonstrated that all of the variables—inflation, exchange rate, FDR, NPF, and BOPO—had a substantial impact on ROA at the same time.

Abstract

This systematic literature review examines the development of Indonesia's halal industry, focusing on the role of innovation and its contribution to export potential. Through a comprehensive analysis of 17 recent studies (2019-2024), the research investigates key innovations driving industry development and their impact on enhancing Indonesia's position in the global halal market. The review identifies several significant innovations, including digital traceability systems, the Penta Helix collaboration model, specialized halal industrial zones, and simplified certification processes. These innovations have demonstrated substantial contributions to export growth through improved product quality, enhanced market access, and strengthened competitive advantages. The findings reveal that successful export expansion requires a comprehensive approach to innovation encompassing technological advancements, process improvements, and strategic market development. The study highlights the importance of stakeholder collaboration, regulatory framework development, and sustainability integration in driving industry growth. While challenges remain, particularly in standardization and regulatory compliance, the research suggests that continued innovation across all aspects of the halal industry is crucial for maintaining and expanding Indonesia's export potential in the increasingly competitive global halal market. The review contributes to the understanding of how innovation drives halal industry development and provides practical implications for stakeholders seeking to enhance Indonesia's position in the global halal trade.
