Abdullah HAMIDADDIN (Editor), The Huthi Movement in Yemen: Ideology, Ambition, and Security in the Arab Gulf (London, Bloomsbury Publishing, 2023)

Abdullah Hamidaddin edited a comprehensive study published by Bloomsbury in cooperation with King Faisal Research and Islamic Studies. The book provides outstanding research on the Huthi movement including sections on its ideology, belief system; and role in reconfiguring one of the oldest and strongest culture and history in the region. The current state of the Yemeni government, that is the divided and insecure rule of country since the Arab revolts in 2011 poses military and political threats to the Arab Gulf States and the Horn of Africa. Yemen hosts paramilitary groups like the Huthis and Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula along with unorganized groups belonging to Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) as well as military groups with links to the Southern secessionists. Yemen is a failed state that poses serious insecurities for its citizens and for other states in the region. The underlining socio-economic problems of Yemen in terms of lack of economic activities, food insecurity, and the security of civilians are closely related with the ongoing proxy war between Saudi Arabia and Iran; the military intervention led by Saudi Arabia since 2015; the internal conflict among three major groups including Huthis, the Central government and the Southern secessionists. Amid all these overlapping elements of the conflict, the nature of the Huthi movement and how it has evolved to be major actor in Yemen require further attention.

Sumbangan Pengajian Ilmu Qiraat di Era Moden

This article aims to reveal the contribution and importance of the study of Qirāʾat science in the modern era. Muslim scholars have emphasised it since immemorial times, even before several other sciences were discussed. This article conducts qualitative research and will reveal several reasons why the science of Qirāʾat needs to continue to be maintained. Although the description does not cover all aspects, it is hoped that it can represent and illustrate the purpose of this article. The research results found that the study of Qirāʾat science is a form of preserving the special qualities of al-Quran al-Karim. It is a reference and source that has an important role in Islamic studies such as tafsir, fiqh, and language. Apart from that, it can also oppose every challenge and accusation made by the enemies of Islam that aim to undermine the honour and dignity of the Qur'an. So, the study of the science of Qirāʾat in the modern era is an important thing that must be continued, because the extinction of the science of Qirāʾat will result in the burial of some of the words of Allah S.W.T. and the disappearance of the treasures of knowledge. It could even be the loss of a way of life for Muslims.

This paper presents about the values of Al-Qur’an, Pancasila, and Mathematics in the discourse on the theory of interconnection integration undergoing a demystification process. The configuration of the values of Al-Qur’an, Pancasila, and Mathematics through Islamic studies is carried out with a theo-anthropocentric process on the integralist values of Al-Qur’an to Mathematics, giving birth to six models, namely Mathematics for Al-Qur’an, Mathematics from Al-Qur’an, Mathematics to explore Al-Qur’an, Mathematics to deliver Al-Qur’an, Mathematics to explain Al-Qur’an, and Mathematics with Al-Qur’an. In integration, there is an effort to restructure Qur’anic and Mathematical sciences, while in interconnection there are meetings in the format of complementation, comparison, confirmation, and the contribution of the verses of Al-Qur’an to the five precepts of Pancasila.

Institutional Economics Lens: A Comprehensive Review on the Interdisciplinary Integration between Islamic Studies and Economics

The paper offers on an in-depth exploration of the harmonization of economic paradigms with the principles ingrained in Islamic teachings. It primarily emphasizes Islamic finance as a field and scrutinizes its methodologies to reveal the extent of correlation existing with conventional economic theories. The necessity for a thorough analysis of this fusion arises from the perpetually evolving global financial landscape and the quest to establish financial systems that are not only sustainable but also value-based. Islamic finance, aiming to uphold ethical, social, and environmental dimensions, has gained considerable significance in both Muslim-majority and non-Muslim-majority jurisdictions. This systematic review offers a detailed dissection of the interdisciplinary nature of Islamic finance by elucidating the conceptual underpinnings of the ethical values that guide its operations and the conventional economic principles upon which it stands. Furthermore, this paper unravels the Shariah-compliant financial instruments that differentiate Islamic finance from its conventional counterparts. Through the lens of the existing literature, this review provides the historical context and development of Islamic finance, alongside its various economic applications, which contribute to the amalgamation of faith-based and financial principles observed in this field. Such comprehensive information will foster an improved understanding of Islamic finance while showcasing its potential to address numerous global financial challenges.

FIRECRACKERS, GEERTZ, AND GREEN ISLAM

This paper intends to reexamine the theory of religious congruence from Clifford Geertz, which, whether we realize it or not, has become the basic assumption of Green Islam discourse. Textual studies and various activities of Green Islam have given birth to hope and optimism that Green Islam can form environmentally friendly behavior among the Ummah. This optimism in turn encourages scholars to examine Green Islam empirically, the firecracker explosion incident during Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr is a test case for this optimism. By using qualitative research methods and a living religion approach, the phenomenon of firecracker detonation was observed, and the perpetrators of the firecracker were interviewed. As a result, the firecracker explosion not only questions the optimism toward Green Islam but also presents theoretical problems regarding religious incompatibility. The orientation of firecracker explosions stems from assumptions and sheer enjoyment or can be described as an overflow or expression of joy in welcoming the festive season, disregarding the tranquillity of those in the vicinity. This is a basic problem in Green Islam studies to find new paths.

Politics of the Russian Empire towards Islam in Turkestan (1867– 1917): A Review of Sources

The article reviews the historical sources from the collection of the National Archive of the Republic of Uzbekistan related to the Supreme Chamber for Islamic Affairs of the Turkestan Governor-General’s Chancellery in the period 1867–1917. It studies the official documentation of the office of the Turkestan Governor-General, documents of the imperial departments, and documents from the personal collections of officers from the regional administration covering the Islamic policy of the Russian Empire in the region. For this region, Islam was not only a religion but also a way of life for the local population in general. The correspondence of the regional boards and regional administrations of the Turkestan Governor-General shows that the government policy implemented toward Islam by the Russian Empire required the training of specialists – Islamic scholars. The provincial administration desperately needed to establish a leading educational center for Islamic studies, which should include every stage, from elementary school maktab to higher level madrasahs, to increase the efficiency of the confessional policy in Turkestan. The Turkestan administration in 1884, 1898–1901, and 1908 made some steps to create a Spiritual Administration of Muslims within the Governor-General's administrative apparatus. Another critical issue that the Turkestan Governor-General’s administration faced was waqf property and related to this topic legislation. The article concludes that the improvement in the region's economic situation achieved by the tsarist authorities opened some opportunities for positive changes in the government policy towards Islam.
