Abstract

This article discusses Islam in West Asia, focusing on religious patterns, culture, economic dynamics, politics, and the conflict in Palestine. It aims to provide insights into West Asia to deepen understanding of the region and issues related to the ongoing conflict in Palestine, including the roles of various actors. Using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method and a descriptive qualitative approach, this article reveals that West Asia, with its strategic location, has a rich history of cultural and religious diversity. This diversity is reflected in the social, political, and economic systems of societies reliant on trade, agriculture, and livestock farming. The social and political structures of West Asian societies before Islam were marked by tribal and clan fanaticism, which underwent significant transformation with the arrival of Islam, promoting unity and structured governance. The conflict in Palestine exemplifies the political and social complexities in this region. Support from Shia groups like the Houthis and Hezbollah for the Palestinian struggle against Israel has led to various assumptions and interpretations. This article emphasizes the importance of international assistance to support the Palestinian struggle, alleviate the suffering of its people, and highlights the need for a multidimensional approach to understand and address existing conflicts.

Abstract

One of the challenges that historians and philologists face is analyzing historical texts, especially traditional historiographic works like 'babad' and 'hikayat,' which may have been added to or subtracted from in various aspects. Such manuscripts cannot be considered the primary reference source for constructing a chronological history, as they lean more towards historical literature constructed from the author's imagination. This article discusses the challenges posed by Malay manuscripts that contain elements of myth and imagination. The study takes a case example of the manuscript "Hikayat Raja Pasai". The objective is to examine the position and role of hikayat or traditional historiography in general concerning the narration of history and its acceptance as a historical source. The research employs a descriptive-analytical method through several stages, including: 1) manuscript selection, 2) literature review, 3) content analysis and identification of imaginative elements in the manuscript, 4) examination of history to verify the accuracy of information, 5) interpretation of results, 6) writing, and 7) drawing conclusions. From this study, it was found that despite containing myths, hikayat still plays a role as a means to showcase the character of a community, aiding readers in understanding a belief, and myths are often more effective in raising human awareness and guiding them towards improvement. However, in accepting hikayat as a historical source, a critical and selective approach is necessary. Therefore, the application of historical methods is crucial to identify which elements can be used as historical sources and which ones should be considered purely imaginative.
