Kaum santri yang dalam kesehariannya berpenampilan sederhana, bahkan terkesan kolot dan tradisionalis, sejatinya adalah kumpulan manusia cerdas dan berilmu tetapi tetap rendah hati. Di balik keluhuran sifat dan perilaku tersebut, kaum santri memiliki kemampuan luar biasa dan mumpuni di luar bidang keahliannya (agama), salah satunya di bidang diplomasi. Dalam konteks diplomasi, kaum santri telah menorehkan tinta emas antara lain melalui Komite Hijaz pada 1920-an untuk menyikapi perkembangan situasi di tanah Hijaz Arab Saudi pada masa pemerintahan Raja Ibnu Sa’ud dan melalui misi diplomasi membantu penyelesaian konflik di Thailand Selatan pada dekade pertama abad ke-21. Kepiawaian kaum santri dalam berdiplomasi menambah sempurna keahlian di bidang ilmu agama yang selama ini menjadi icon khas sosok santri dalam ranah kehidupan sosial kemasyarakatan.
Belakangan ini tema diaspora mencuat dalam tidak hanya dalam perdebatan akademis, tetapi juga dalam pembicaraan kebijakan. Di Indonesia, sejumlah inisiatif muncul untuk melihat peranan diaspora Indonesia yang tersebar di berbagai negara. Akan tetapi, studi tentang itu ternyata sangat jarang, apalagi yang secara spesifik melihat aspek sosial-kemanusiaannya. Buku Diaspora Muslim Indonesia di Belanda: Identitas, Peran, dan Konektivitas Keagamaan Global diangkat dari penelitian Pusat Penelitian Kewilayahan-Lembaga Ilmu Pengetahuan Indonesia (P2W-LIPI), ingin menjawab tantangan tersebut dengan mengkaji peranan diaspora Muslim Indonesia di Belanda dalam membangun jejaring yang mengkoneksikan tidak...
A clear, hands-on outline of best practices for infection prevention that directly improve patient outcomes across the healthcare continuum.
Telah lama masyarakat Indonesia hidup dalam keragaman sosial dengan 1.340 suku bangsa, 300 kelompok etnik, 652 bahasa daerah, dan enam agama resmi. Keragaman ini menjadi kelebihan untuk menguatkan bangsa sekaligus kekurangan lantaran mengelola kemajemukan di antara masyarakat tanah air tidak seindah semboyan bangsa kita, bhinekka tunggal ika. Agama yang semula bersumber dari wahyu, seiring berjalannya waktu berkembang menjadi bagian dari subsistem sosial yang terkadang memicu terjadinya konflik antarmasyarakat dan melebar pada subsistem sosial lain, seperti politik, ekonomi, dll. Atau sebaliknya, agama menjadi korban akibat konfl ik dalam subsistem lainnya. Sesungguhnya, tema semua ajaran agama memungkinkan terjadinya hubungan ramah di antaranya, meskipun berbeda ajaran, doktrin, ritual, dan istilah dalam tiap-tiap agama. Khususnya Islam, dengan tiga karakter ajarannya: persamaan derajat, rasionalitas dan bersahaja, serta Islam adalah kemajuan yang dapat dijadikan dasar berbagai pranata sosial untuk membangun kerukunan antarmasyarakat bangsa Indonesia.

Salafism, comprised of fundamentalist Islamic movements whose adherents consider themselves the only “saved” sect of Islam, has been little studied, remains shrouded in misconceptions, and has provoked new interest as Salafists have recently staked a claim to power in some Arab states while spearheading battles against “infidel” Arab regimes during recent rebellions in the Arab world. Robert G. Rabil examines the emergence and development of Salafism into a prominent religious movement in Lebanon, including the ideological and sociopolitical foundation that led to the three different schools of Salafism in Lebanon: quietist Salafists, Haraki (active) Salafists; and Salafi Jihadists. ...
OSCT Indonesia is a company established in 2011 by Bayu Satya based on his concern about oil spill disasters in the seas. Before that, this entrepreneur from Palembang, South Sumatra, had been involved for decades in the world of manufacturing oil spill response equipment with the brand Slickbar Indonesia. The idea for establishing OSCT Indonesia was motivated by the reality that many companies are not able to buy, store, and operate oil spill response equipment in their operational headquarters. Even though, the risk of oil spill disasters is always lurking when not expected. An oil spill disaster in the seas creates a chain of terrible impacts that are so destructive. The environment is da...
For most of the twentieth century, the most critical concerns of national security have been balance-of-power politics and the global arms race. The religious conflicts of this era and the motives behind them, however, demand a radical break with this tradition. If the United States is to prevail in its long-term contest with extremist Islam, it will need to re-examine old assumptions, expand the scope of its thinking to include religion and other "irrational" factors, and be willing to depart from past practice. A purely military response in reaction to such attacks will simply not suffice. What will be required is a long-term strategy of cultural engagement, backed by a deeper understandin...
There are many shouts and screams-coming from a range of ideological backgrounds-competing for your ears, heart and mind in order to convince you of negative views regarding Isl¿m and Muslims. It would be unfair to accept these ideologically motivated narratives without question and without giving Muslims a chance explain the reality of what they believe in and practice and what Isl¿m means to them. Within this context, the book in your hands is a short primer that provides a brief yet concise introduction to Isl¿m. It discusses Isl¿m's most important foundations, pillars, obligations and major prohibitions and the wisdoms behind them. It also discusses morals and ethics, perfection of character, racism and Isl¿m's position towards extremism and terrorism. Finally, the status of women in Isl¿m and some related misconceptions are also discussed.
This “superbly researched and engaging” (The Wall Street Journal) true story about five boys who were kidnapped in the North and smuggled into slavery in the Deep South—and their daring attempt to escape and bring their captors to justice belongs “alongside the work of Harriet Beecher Stowe, Edward P. Jones, and Toni Morrison” (Jane Kamensky, professor of American history at Harvard University). Philadelphia, 1825: five young, free black boys fall into the clutches of the most fearsome gang of kidnappers and slavers in the United States. Lured onto a small ship with the promise of food and pay, they are instead met with blindfolds, ropes, and knives. Over four long months, their ki...
