The study was conducted by taking an inventory of the laws and regulations regarding halal tourism that have been owned by several regions in Indonesia. Then compared with the implementation of halal tourism, especially in organizing Muslim friendly homestay on Lake Toba, North Sumatra with Malaysia. The results of the research show that Indonesia does not yet have a legal umbrella governing halal tourism, only a few cities and provinces have regional regulations. Regions with Halal Tourism Regulations Regimes that already have Halal Tourism Regulations include Regime No. 51 of 2015 issued by the governor of West Nusa Tenggara, Regime No 1 of 2020 issued by the province of West Sumatra, Regime No 19 of 2022 issued by the provincial governor of North Sumatra concerning regulations for implementing halal tourism regional regulations. Regime No 6 of 2020 issued by the regency of Bandung Regime No 9 of 2019 issued by the provincial government of South Sumatra concerning halal tourism, the data indicates that Indonesia lacks a legal framework for halal tourism. It stands in contrast with Malaysia, which achieved success in the halal tourist sector partly as a result of the creation of halal standards and the nationwide adoption of a systematic halal assurance system. Malaysia’s Islamic development department initiated a policy of standardizing halal food and standards such as Muslim Friendly Hospitality Services (MFHS), which contain three important components: the principle of providing accommodation, tour packages, and guide tours based on Islamic principles.

Religious Harmony in East Nusa Tenggara: Insights into Local Tradition and Values of Muslim Communities

Kupang City, located in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) province, stands out for its notable success in fostering tolerance among religious communities. Its significance lies in (a) being the largest city in NTT, (b) having a longstanding history of Islamic development, and (c) the proclamation of local leaders demonstrating a firm commitment to preserving Kupang as an exemplar of religious harmony. In light of these aspects, the authors conducted qualitative field research on Muslim village communities in Kupang to explore how harmony is maintained among religious groups. This research is based on the theoretical assumption that understanding the world requires a native point of approach, relying on the researcher's perspective. The findings reveal that a crucial foundation for harmony among religious communities is the residents' highly tolerant attitude, reflecting the active tolerance embedded in local wisdom. This local wisdom is further reinforced by the recognition of diversity as a defining feature of Kupang City's identity. The actualization of this value is evident in religious and cultural traditions, exemplified by the Siripuan tradition in Airmata Village. The dynamic nature of harmony among religious communities is underscored, with one contributing factor being the lower positive feelings experienced by minorities compared to the majority. Addressing this discrepancy is crucial for anticipating and mitigating potential challenges among Muslim minorities.

Investigating the Additionality of Islamic Blended Financing for Supporting Awqaf Projects

It is observed that financing revenue generating awqaf projects to serve socio-economic development purposes requires considerations and provides opportunities that are different from those of typical development finance. Notably, the positive impact of these projects fully depends on their ability to generate revenue utilizable for social purposes, requiring minimization of the debt burden on such projects. Furthermore, the nature of awqaf projects provides an excellent avenue to attract legacy-conscious donors, looking for long-term impact. In light of these observations, the pertinent question that arises is: what is the impact of using Islamic blended financing to support revenue generating awqaf projects? The literature has been silent on this issue. The present study examines the extent to which this type of financing increases the positive impact of developing awqaf projects and how blending the various Islamic commercial contracts (mainly exchange and sharing contracts with contributory contracts) decreases the net financing burden and makes awqaf financing more concessional. The study is based on a qualitative review of two case studies from the Islamic Development Bank’s Awqaf Properties Investment Fund (APIF). This review leads to various policy recommendations that can be adopted by relevant stakeholders to enhance the impact of developing awqaf properties.

Kedatangan Islam di Indonesia

Regarding the arrival of Islam in Indonesia, different perspectives emerge, influenced by the complexity of the phenomenon that Islam does not have a single origin in one place or a specific group. This diversity of theories is shaped by differences in historians' evidence, interests, religious subjectivities, and ideologies. Although the early arrival of Islam was concluded in 1963, research on the process of the arrival and development of Islam in Indonesia continues to develop, providing opportunities to refine or strengthen existing theories. Ulama (Islamic scholars) play a central role in the early arrival and development of Islam in Indonesia. Arab merchants, who were also Islamic scholars, formed the first group to propagate and develop Islam, followed by professional Sufi dais (religious leaders). The Sufi ulama figures are closely related to two main figures: the 4,444 traders who spread Islam through trade, the economic center of society, and the sultans, who spread Islam through authority. These features of the spread of Islam effectively contributed to the growth of Islam.The ulama developed Islam through three main channels: culture (preaching, educatin, art, culture, marriage), struture (politics and power), and economics (through trade routes). In other words, the Islaization process in Indonesia is influenced by political power and the spirit of da'wah. In this context, keywords such as the entry of Islam in Indonesia, the development of Islam in Indonesia, the role of ulama and Sufis, and da'wah are central points for understanding these power relations.
