This study seeks to trace the centrality of the use of Zhenghe's notes and other Chinese documents in Hamka's work which discusses the development of Islam in the Indonesian archipelago (mainly in the book titled Sejarah Umat Islam). The study will focus on two things: first, discussing the central position of Zhenghe's notes for the development of historiography of Indonesian Islam in Hamka's work. Second, this study discusses the important role of Hamka in elevating the value of Chinese documents as an important historical source. Keep in mind that in the Hamka era, historical writing was still dominated by Eurocentric logic which tended to prioritise Western records compared to non- Western sources. In other words, there is a unique interaction between Hamka and Chinese records where on the one hand Chinese records can help Muslims in Indonesia reconstruct their history, but on the other hand, Indonesian Muslims elevate the value of Chinese documents in the academic world.

Konflik yang disebabkan oleh perbedaan orientasi seksual merupakan sebuah isu yang paling berkembang pada masa globalisasi seperti saat ini dalam masyarakat. Isu yang juga merupakan isu yang dikaji dalam ilmu hubungan internasional ini memperlihatkan bagaimana peran pemerintah dalam mewujudkan keamanan individu bagi masyarakatnya khususnya bagi para transgender dan transeksual.
