Core Subject :
The CMES (Center of Middle Eastern Studies) journal is a distinguished peer-reviewed academic publication dedicated to advancing rigorous scholarly research on Middle Eastern studies. It publishes high-calibre research articles, theoretical studies, and critical reviews that engage with both contemporary and historical issues relevant to the region, employing a multidisciplinary approach. The CMES journal serves as a dynamic intellectual platform for researchers, academics, and practitioners to exchange innovative findings and perspectives, advancing Middle Eastern studies through a multidisciplinary framework grounded in the epistemological foundations of the humanities and social sciences. In the humanities, the journal emphasises linguistics, literature, and Middle Eastern culture. At the same time, the social sciences focus on politics, economics, education, religions, and the social dimensions of Middle Eastern societies. CMES encourages scholarly work that engages these disciplines through monodisciplinary inquiry, interdisciplinary synthesis, or transdisciplinary dialogue, fostering conceptual integration and methodological interaction across disciplinary boundaries. Manuscripts submitted to CMES must be pertinent to Middle Eastern studies and demonstrate clear engagement with the epistemic traditions of their respective fields.

Abstract

Egypt was the first country in the world that recognized the independence of Indonesia. Egypt is also the first country signing a friendship agreement with Indonesia,which was followed by the opening of representative offices in Cairo and in Jakarta in1950/1951. More than that, Egypt is the country where Indonesia children studying sincebefore the 19th century to the present. Historical and emotional Indonesia-Egypt relationsshould be an important asset for both countries to improve more strategic relations andcooperation, so it becomes more meaningful each other. However, the opposite happened.Indonesia has always looked at the importance of Egypt, but Egypt only one eye seesIndonesia. Unequal, unbalanced and biased relationship reflected from two things,namely the formation of representatives and officials visit the country.  This dissertation research aims to answer the question why the relationshipbetween Indonesia and Egypt from 1950 to 2010 is unequal, unbalanced and biased, andwhat efforts are offered to improve the relationship between Indonesia and Egypt so thatIndonesia has interesting bargaining power, so that Indonesia is considered important byEgypt. Hopefully, this research has benefits for the development of InternationalRelations and Middle East Studies as well as to provide input to the Government ofIndonesia in making decision related to foreign policy towards Egypt and generate thebasis for the implementation of Indonesia's foreign relations in the future, especiallybetween Indonesia and Egypt.

Abstract

Compared to the Mohammed Morsi era, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi's regime has policies supporting women's rights and empowerment. Ironically, the facts indicate that the incidence of sexual harassment in Egypt during el-Sisi's administration remains high. This research discusses this issue by analyzing el-Sisi's Egyptian Women's Day speech. The study aims to uncover el-Sisi's ideology regarding the role of Egyptian women using Teun A. van Dijk's critical discourse analysis. The research is grounded in the gap between the discourse on women discussed in the text and social facts. It employs a qualitative descriptive method with the listen, read, and note technique. The research findings indicate that el-Sisi's speech reflects a liberal feminist ideology. His ideology constructs women as active participants in nation-building and contributors to the economic, social, and political sectors.

Abstract

Hubungan antara sastra arab dan Islam sangat dekat. Hal ini ditandai dengan adanya peradaban khazanah sastra Arab sejak periode Al-Ja<hiliy hingga Islam tersebar. Sejak itu, kegiatan bersastra bagi bangsa Arab menjadi sarana adat dan kebiasaan sehari-hari. Lalu ketika Islam datang menjadi penyeru agama kebenaran, sastra Arab menjadi semakin meluas dengan munculnya syair-syair bernafas Islami sebagai sarana dakwah. Kehadiran sastra Arab dalam kehidupan umat Islam telah merubah pola pikir dan perilaku masa jahiliy menuju perilaku yang lebih baik dengan menerapkan akhlaqul-karimah. Salah satunya adalah pemikiran sastra Islam yang dipelopori Abdurrahman Ra’fat Al-Basya dengan konsep at-tashawwurul Isla<miy. Artikel ini menggunakan metode analisis deskripsi untuk memaparkan wilayah objek sastra Arab dan Islam sebagai corak esensi pada wilayah objek seni dan kehidupan yang diungkap dari jiwa yang penuh iman dan mengeksploirasi dengan penuh keimanan. Pemikiran Al-Basya dijadikan teori sebagai pisau analisis dalam mengurai pemaparan sastra Arab dalam keterkaitannya dengan Islam. Beberapa puisi dari tokoh-tokoh sufi menjadi potret kekayaan sastra Islam dalam masyarakat Arab. Artikel ini sekaligus menjadi tambahan wawasan terkait kedudukan sastra Islam di era globalisasi.

Abstract

The development of the Nusantara culinary industry throughout the world shows that Nusantara culinary products are a prospective business opportunity. The presence of Nusantara culinary as a business opportunity in the world requires an understanding of culinary terms in promoting Nusantara culinary terms. One of the areas that makes Nusantara culinary a culinary business opportunity is the Middle East region. The massive use of Arabic in the Middle East requires the equivalent of Nusantara culinary terms in Arabic as well. This requires a translation process between Indonesian and Arabic. This study describes the strategy of translating Indonesian-Arabic Nusantara culinary terms. Data were collected from various corpus of data in the form of 3 Indonesian-Arabic dictionaries and 1 internet page source. The findings of the translation strategy are in the form of 204 data on the translation of three types of Indonesian-Arabic Nusantara culinary terms. The findings of the syntactic strategy there are 4 types of syntactic translation strategies applied, namely literal translation of 17 (8.5%) data, 17 (8.5%), borrowing of 17 (8.5%), unit shifting 160 (80%), and changing the phrase structure 6 (3%) data. There is only one type of semantic strategy application, namely hyponyms as much as 82 (40%) data. The implementation of the pragmatic strategy found two strategies, namely cultural filtering of 11 (5.4%) data and changing of information as much as 8 (3.9%) data. The results of the assessment of the quality of the translation of the Nusantara culinary term obtained a level of accuracy that is less accurate, acceptability is less acceptable, and legibility is legible.

Abstract

Ḥabīb ‘Umar Ibn Ḥafīẓ is a renowned preacher from Tarim who has produced numerous literary works, including poetry and qaṣīdahs. One of them, Yartāḥ Qalbī, conveys profound meanings of tawassul expressed through poetic and refined language. This study aims to explore the symbolic meanings and the forms of tawassul within the qaṣīdah. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method using Michael Riffaterre’s semiotic approach, which includes indirect expression, heuristic and hermeneutic reading, matrix, model, variant, hypogram, and intertextuality. The analysis reveals that Yartāḥ Qalbī is rich in rhetorical devices, consisting of eight metaphors, two metonymies, one personification, and one hyperbole, all of which reflect deep symbolic meanings related to tawassul. The main finding highlights the practice of tawassul bi-l-maḥabbah, namely supplicating to Allah by means of love and the honor of ahl al-bayt. The concept of tawassul in this qaṣīdah is not merely ritual but also embodied in forms of praise and supplication. Therefore, Yartāḥ Qalbī not only expresses devotion to ahl al-bayt but also serves as a medium for preserving the tradition of tawassul and reinforcing the spiritual and faith values of the Muslim community.

Abstract

This article examined how Indonesian diplomacy has taken place in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Friction and armed clashes between Palestinian fighters and the Israeli military still occur and can even befall Palestinian civilians. Throught the history of Indonesia's closeness with Palestine, Indonesia is one of the countries actively calling for Palestinian independence with a two-state solution. The scientific relationship between Palestinian scholars and Indonesian students studying in Egypt made Palestine one of the countries that recognized Indonesia's independence with Egypt. Relations between the two countries continue today. This article is described using conflict resolution theory. Furthermore, the authors find the findings of Indonesia's diplomacy in resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Indonesia plays an active role through its role as a nonpermanent member of the UN Security Council. Even Indonesia opposed US President Donald Trump's policy on Jerusalem as the Capital of Israel and moves its embassy to Jerusalem. It is proven that Indonesia plays the role of co-sponsor, facilitator, mediator, participator, initiator, actor, motivator and justifier in helping resolve the IsraeliPalestinian conflict.

Abstract

This study examines the conflict between Saudi Arabia and Yemen, which impacts political, economic, and social aspects. The background of this research is Yemen's internal conflict involving Saudi Arabia's military intervention since 2015. This study analyzes the public's perception of the intervention and its impact. Using the theories of social constructivism by Peter L. Berger and Thomas Luckmann, this study identifies how public perceptions are shaped through narratives constructed by the media, governments, and other social actors. The method used is qualitative with an analytical descriptive approach through the explanation of conflict variables, community conditions, and the impact of the intervention. The discussion results show that public perceptions are divided into positive perceptions that see intervention as an effort for stability in the region and negative perceptions that consider intervention to exacerbate humanitarian and economic crises. Despite the political benefits, the negative impact on civil society is enormous. Therefore, a diplomatic approach that prioritizes human rights and the welfare of civil society, as well as inclusive reconciliation efforts to achieve sustainable peace, is needed.

Abstract

This dissertation titled "The Policies of Authoritarian Regimes towards PoliticalIslam: A Case Study on Soeharto’s and Anwar Sadat’s Regimes" attempts to answer thisquestion: what policies towards Political Islam were adopted by Soeharto’s and Sadat’sregimes and what are the similarities and differences between both of them as well astheir underlying factors? This dissertation is a library research with qualitative datausing descriptive, interpretative, and analytical approaches based on the theory of policy.  The policies of both regimes are classified into two broad strategies, namely: first,the subjugation of Political Islam’s power (through two modes: a. violence andmarginalization; and b. propaganda and image politics); second, the accommodation ofPolitical Islam (through two modes: social and religious appeasement; and legislativepolicy appeasement). Those policies are significantly of similar style and aim butdifferent in terms of order and tactic of implementation. In general, those policies areequally pragmatic and realistic for maximizing the regime’s strength and gains andoutrivaling all powers of Political Islam with view of achieving the state’s politicalstability and avoiding the emergence of legitimacy crisis owing to domestic situations.Therefore, the researcher refers to such policies as hegemonic regime’s domesticpolitical stability strategy.
