2023-09-11T19:42:42+00:00

This study discusses the concept of wasa?iyyah concerning religious moderation campaigned by the Indonesian government. This study is critical because several studies state that the two have similar meanings. Still, each has distinct identities and characteristics that need to be discussed academically as further consideration of the concepts presented. Wasa?iyyah is a middle way of thinking and acting in Islam, not merely referring to a standing position between the two, but is associated with the best and foremost balance. This study uses discourse analysis to understand the conceptual definition of both wasatiyyah and moderation. This study concludes that the meaning of Wassatiyah contains several different elements, whereas Wasatiyyah is mainly built on theological constructions based on the Al-Qur'an. Wasa?iyyah, on the other hand, is an offer made from an Islamic point of view to engage in efforts to deradicalize religion with several characteristics and traits found in the Qur'an and formulated by Islamic scholars.

The results of the research show that: In the view of religious communities there are no clear provisions regarding the age requirements for marriage. However, the measurements used to determine whether it is permissible or not still give rise to various interpretations.

So laws regarding marriage age are often violated because society is still guided by religious understanding and cultural practices.

2023-11-03T06:26:43+00:00

Migrant workers’ lives are filled with drama and social difficulties ranging from enslavement, new cultural obstacles, and social disputes in the places where they work. This article looks at the cultural obstacles that Sasak migrant workers experience in Malaysia, as well as the patterns of slavery that emerge in the workplace. This study was conducted in Suaralaga utilizing qualitative methods and a case study approach. According to the findings, the majority of Indonesian migrant workers face slavery, exploitation, and discrimination in the workplace. They frequently do not receive their salary because the brokers who brought them to the company subtracted and took them. These brokers charge a high fee, resulting in migrant laborers receiving inadequate or no pay at all. Slavery occurs not just in Malaysian enterprises, but it is even more heinous in Indonesian territory when migrant laborers arrive by sea. Although cultural concerns do not pose a problem for migrant employees due to many parallels with Malaysian society, other habits such as consuming beer, free sex, and prostitution in the community surrounding the company make foreign workers uncomfortable. Failure of migrant workers in Malaysia to provide remittances to their families has a significant influence on their family life at home, particularly in meeting the daily necessities of their wives and children
