Within personal finance, the decade saw a growth in the demand for financial planning, moving from a sector that prior to the 1970s catered exclusively to the wealthy, to one that provides services to the middle-income class. In the field of Islamic finance, the decade is remembered for the establishment of the first Islamic bank and takaful (insurance) company that laid the foundations of an industry that is now reported to be a trillion dollar industry. This study is designed to explore if Islamic financial planning, which falls within the purview of Islamic finance, can be developed further to include those with low incomes and in poverty. The aim of this study is to examine the needs of the poor and non-poor households in order to identify, describe and establish an inclusive Islamic Financial Planning (IFP) framework for both groups in Brunei Darussalam. This suggested framework integrates historical institutions such as zakat and awqaf, with contemporary financial concepts and approaches such as financial exclusion and financial planning. In order to achieve the research aim, primary data was collected using structured interviews/questionnaire-based surveys and semi-structured interviews. The former, quantitative method, involved interviews with 431 Muslim heads of households in the Brunei-Muara district, composed of 216 non-welfare recipients (non-poor or net surplus households) and 215 welfare recipients (poor or net deficit households). The data was analysed using statistical techniques, which include Pearson’s chi-square test and logistic regression. Meanwhile, the qualitative information gathered from semi- structured interviews with 39 net deficit respondents was coded and reported. The findings of the study display a hierarchical form of financial planning, for the poor and non-poor in Brunei. For net deficit households, the hierarchical structure involves moving individuals from the bottom of the hierarchy, that is the money management level, to emergency planning, and finally to the top of the hierarchy, that is investing for goals. For net surplus households, their role relates to the supply-side of the inclusive IFP framework, whereby they provide funds necessary in the form of zakat and awqaf to implement the approaches associated with money management, emergency planning and investing for goals. The study also found instances of financial exclusion in Brunei for net deficit respondents in opening bank accounts and accessing credit facilities. In terms of financial planning practices and financial knowledge, the findings highlight net deficit respondents were more likely to fare poorly than net surplus respondents. Further, in terms of zakat and awqaf, both groups of respondents appear to have low-level understanding of these concepts. Overall, the study provides the conceptual framework for an inclusive IFP approach in Brunei. Thereby, it provides a different paradigm towards combating poverty, through the lens of financial planning, alongside the added components of zakat, awqaf, financial literacy and financial inclusion. i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Dedicated to my beloved parents and grandparents.

Habib (d. 860) is slim. Almost nothing is known about his father, and even the name ‘Habib’1 is believed to be associated with his mother. Al-Hashimi and al- Baghdadi are two nisbas attached to Ibn Habib, the first of which derives from his mother being a client (mawla) of a Hashimi family, and the second of which implies that Ibn Habib spent a considerable part of his life in Baghdad.

Mawardi Ading Kusdiana Fakultas Adab dan Humaniora UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung aguspermana978@ gmail.com, [email protected], [email protected] Abstrak Penelitian ini mempunyai dua tujuan yaitu pertama untuk mengetahui islamisasi di Jawa dan kedua untuk mengetahui peran habaib di Betawi dalam proses islamisasi pada abad ke 70. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode penelitian sejarah dengan tahapan kerja pengumpulan data (heuristik), verifikasi (kritik), penafsiran (interpretasi) dan penulisan (historiografi). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Meski masih memerlukan pembuktian lebih lanjut, periodisasi masuknya orang Arab di Nusantara dapat dibagi pada tiga periode. Periode pertama adalah abad 9- 11 M; periode kedua abad 12-15 dan periode ketiga abad 17-19 M. Pada Abad Ke 20 para habaib ini telah tersebar hamper di seluruh pulau Jawa. Penyebarannya meliputi daerah Jakarta, Jawa Tengah dan Jawa Timur. Di Jakarta ada bebrapa habib yang terkenal seperti Habib Kampung Bandan, Habib Jindan, Habib Ali Kwitang, Habib Ali Bugur dan Habib Usman Bun Yahya. di Jawa Barat ada Al- Habib Alwi bin Muhammad bin Thohiral-Haddad, Habib Syarief Muhammad al-Aydrus dan Al- Habib-Muhammad-Bin-Syekh-Bin-Yahya. Di Jawa Tengah dimulai dari Al-Habib Husein bin Muhammad bin Thohir al-Haddad, dan Habib Luthfi. di Jawa Timur pertama Al-Habib Ja’far bin Syekhan Assegaf, Al-Habib Abdul

Menelisik kebesaran sejarah Jakarta memang amat mengasyikkan, hingga lupa diri, bahwa masa studi ada batasnya. Inilah yang kemudian, “memaksa” saya untuk segera memalingkan diri dari pekerjaan yang lain, mengkhususkan waktu agar kewajiban intelektual ini bisa dipenuhi. Saran serta kritik selalu saya nantikan, untuk menyempurkan kerja saya. Tidak bisa dielakkan, dalam menyusun suatu bacaan yang bermutu akan selalu dihinggapi oleh kesalahan ketikan, analisa serta pengambilan sumber yang kurang tepat. Oleh sebab itu, setiap masukan yang membangun, akan menjadi bahan pertimbangan saya, untuk selalu berhati-hati dalam menyajikan tulisan sejarah yang kronologis, analitis dan representatif.

III Dissertation Advisor: Roger Owen Author: Asher Aviad Orkaby The International History of the Yemen Civil War, 1962-68 Abstract The deposition of Imam Muhammad al-Badr in September 1962 was the culmination of a Yemeni nationalist movement that began in the 1940s with numerous failed attempts to overthrow the traditional religious legal order. Prior to 1962, both the USSR and Egypt had been cultivating alliances with al-Badr in an effort to secure their strategic interests in South Arabia. In the days following the 1962 coup d'état, Abdullah Sallal and his cohort of Yemeni officers established a republic and concealed the fate of al- Badr who had survived an assault on his Sana’a palace and whose supporters had already begun organizing a tribal coalition against the republic.

  • Identity in Hadhrami Society
    Identity in Hadhrami Society Communities and Identities Shared elements of heritage contribute to the notion of a community as envisioned by its members, thereby shaping individual identities. In the words of Benedict Anderson, “all communities larger than primordial villages of face-to-face contact (and perhaps even these) are imagined.”1 Membership in an “imagined commu- nity,” or in a number of overlapping concentric communities, forms a meaningful background to an individual’s experience. At the same time, identity encompasses multiple levels and tiers, with different aspects predominating in different contexts. It is constantly sustained by comparisons, and the aspects relevant to comparison vary according to geographical and social settings.2 People from different parts of Hadhramawt shared an attachment to a land and a heritage, while they also identiµed with smaller units—territory, town, quar- ter, neighborhood—associated with speciµc local cultural attributes and histories. A further aspect of Hadhrami identity was membership in one of the social groups into which the larger society was divided; this membership was acquired at birth. Social group membership affected a person’s prospects in terms of marriage, edu- cation, occupation, and role in religious, economic, and political life. While dif- ferent social groups comprised different types of subgroups, all were composed of families, and membership in a family was another important aspect of individual identity. Another aspect of identity, gender, transected the others. Gender deter- mined important elements of a person’s role in family and society and affected an individual’s participation in education and in economic life; the boundaries of pos- sibility varied among the different social groups.

  • Kontroversi Tentang Sayyid Utsman Bin Yahya (1822-1914) Sebagai Penasehat Snouck Hurgronje
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by IAIN Sunan Ampel Repository KONTROVERSI TENTANG SAYYID UTSMAN BIN YAHYA (1822-1914) SEBAGAI PENASEHAT SNOUCK HURGRONJE Dr. Muhammad Noupal, M.Ag * ABSTRACT The position of Sayyid Utsman in Islamic history of Nusantara is so controversial. In one case, he is an ulama and mufti, but in the other side, he was a Snouck Hurgronje’s friend and government advisor of Netherland East Indies. The controversy of Sayyid Utsman as an advisor of the government can be understood from three sides; 1) social and political background of Arabian community is so various that time, compled the government to point Sayyid Uthman as an advisor, especially to give more information and opinions about Arabian community; 2) considering about information from Sayyid Utsman is so helpful to the Snouck’s research, therefore Snouck proposed the government to point him as an advisor; and 3) the advices which given by Sayyid Uthman more religious, fits his position as an ulama and mufti. Keywords : Mufti, Penasehat Pemerintah, Kontroversial. Tulisan ini akan diusahakan untuk memahami bagaimana hubungan yang terjadi antara Sayyid Utsman bin Yahya, sebagai seorang tokoh Islam di Indonesia pada abad 19 dan awal abad 20 dengan Snouck Hurgronje, seorang pejabat pemerintah kolonial Hindia Belanda. Ada dua alasan yang perlu dikemukakan tentang tulisan ini; pertama, karena Sayyid Utsman adalah ulama Islam Indonesia (mufti Betawi) yang sering dikecam karena keterlibatannya dengan pihak kolonial, maka penelusuran ke arah ini sangat perlu dilakukan; dan kedua, karena Snouck Hurgronje adalah pejabat kolonial Hindia Belanda yang sangat kontroversial, terutama karena pandangan politiknya saat itu, maka penelusuran ke arah ini, dalam hubungannya dengan Sayyid Utsman, juga perlu dilakukan.
