Abstract

During the Covid-19 pandemic, nearly every country was vulnerable to the impact of the outbreak. Even countries renowned for their advanced healthcare systems found themselves helpless. Indonesia, with a population exceeding 270 million, was not exempted, as 6,811,330 confirmed cases, 6,640,002 recoveries, and 161,848 deaths were reported in June 2023. The pandemic also had detrimental effects on the already struggling economy, as various restrictions hindered both economic growth and mobility. However, compared to other nations, Indonesia showcased greater resilience. According to the Ministry of Health, the country experienced the most controlled increase in Covid-19 cases compared to five other Asian countries, namely India, the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand. The data from the Fiscal Policy of the Indonesian Ministry of Finance showed Indonesia's economy managed to grow by 3.69% in 2021, surpassing the average economic growth rate of other ASEAN countries, which stood at 2.9% in the same year. The two indicators in the health and economic fields showed that the Indonesian community could endure and adapt to disaster situations. The emergence of community-driven initiatives during the pandemic, such as mutual assistance and support for those affected by Covid-19, further underscored the strength of the community. Moreover, the varied circumstances experienced revealed a relatively high level of human security, a factor that directly influenced national resilience in the face of the pandemic. The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) identified seven components of human security, namely security, economy, food, health, environment, individual, community, and political aspects. Human security aimed to safeguard individuals against various threats to their well-being and was a crucial aspect of state protection in providing a sense of security to citizens. This study delved into the discussion of human security in Indonesia as a protective mechanism that encompassed both personal and communal security, and its direct influence on national resilience, particularly during the Covid-19 pandemic. The handling of the pandemic revealed the considerable strength of human security within the Indonesian community, facilitating the transition from a pandemic phase to an endemic phase of Covid-19 while upholding national resilience. Therefore, exploring the potential of human security was imperative, as it aimed to support national resilience beyond the scope of state security alone. This qualitative study concluded that a strong level of human security generally contributed to enhancing national resilience. Therefore, government approaches to implementing human security were expected to address the cultural backgrounds and customs of local communities. Human security was also considered a significant aspect and serious concern for the state, particularly in safeguarding national resilience during severe threats to the country.

Abstract

Based on the results of the OJK survey 2022, the level of sharia financial literacy in Indonesia is still shallow, namely 9.14%. The low level of public literacy regarding Sharia finance is a fundamental problem that must be immediately resolved from its roots. This research aims to increase sharia economic and financial literacy for students in Indonesia based on a card game called SSD. The method used is Research and Development (RnD) and is reinforced with qualitative description. The research results show that there are 40 SSD cards with ten categories. Each category has four sub-categories that explain Sharia economics and finance. With techniques made to match, SSD makes classroom learning more accessible for students to understand because it uses a fun approach.

Abstract

The Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) is the foundation of Muslims in various dimensions of life. This research aims to identify the role of OIC globally. This research uses qualitative methods with a descriptive approach and a literature study. Research reference data was obtained from journals and reference books related to the role of the OIC. The study's results found ten dimensions of the OIC's role globally: politics, tourism, Islamic diplomacy, conflict resolution, humanity, cooperation for development, human rights, Islamic finance, world peace, and the development of science and technology. The OIC, as an association of countries with an Islamic background, needs to increase its role globally as a solution to various dimensions of problems experienced by OIC members. The implication is that in the future, we need to play an optimal role in population, poverty alleviation, finance, Islamic microfinance, halal economy, humanity and human resources.

Abstract

This paper delves into the intricate relationship between religion and the confluence of faith, spirituality, and ritual within a historical and cultural/symbolic domain. Considering the diversity of religious concepts and the ongoing debate over definitions, the study argues that a rational foundation exists within religious adherents supporting arduous rituals due to historical and religious precedents. Drawing upon the works of Clifford Geertz, Tanya Luhrmann, and Talal Asad, the paper aims to harmonize their varied approaches and formulate a cohesive understanding. The theoretical framework aligns with Geertz's definition of religion as a system of symbols that engenders enduring moods and motivations by crafting conceptions of a general order of existence. This interpretation resonates with the act of pilgrimage, particularly Hajj, where devotees seek communion with God through spiritual sentiments and rigorous rituals. The convergence of Geertz's theory with the works of Luhrmann and Asad forms the basis for comprehending the motivations that propel Muslims onto the well-trodden path of pilgrimage.

Abstract

Geopolitics is the study of how Earth's geography both physical and human, affects politics and international relations. The Ancient Greek terms γῆ (gê), which means "earth, land," and πoλιτική (politikḗ), which means "politics," are the source of the term "geopolitics.". It is an academic discipline that studies how a nation's size, location, climate, terrain, population, and natural resources affect its politics, particularly its foreign policy. Geopolitics has a significant bearing on public governance. A framework for comprehending the power relationships that shape our world is provided by geopolitics. It aids in the analysis of how geopolitical forces affect human rights, cultural heritage, and the development of public opinion around the world. Insights into societal divides, migration trends, and the emergence of nationalism are also provided by it. Other than that, geopolitical factors can impact governance strategies in the context of governance. For instance, decision-making procedures within public governance, strategic planning, and policy-making may be impacted by the geopolitical backdrop of a given area. It may also have an impact on how various countries relate to one another, which could have an impact on international accords and policies. Additionally, geopolitics can be understood as a process that makes it easy to comprehend conflicts and tensions at several levels, including local, regional, national, and worldwide. It can also disclose power struggles between actors. This knowledge can help public governance manage these tensions and conflicts in an efficient manner. In essence, geopolitics is a major factor in determining the tactics and laws used in public government. It offers a prism through which we can view the intricate relationships that are necessary for efficient public governance, including those involving geography, power, politics, and international relations. Thus, a better understanding of geopolitics can support more intelligent, astute, and successful public governance.
