This exploratory research Article, based on secondary sources, undertakes a comparative legal study of the Constitutional and statutory provisions as well as recent jurisprudential developments in India and Indonesia for the promotion of religious tolerance in the two diverse, multifaith democracies with a history of social conflict and highly contested religious politics. By adopting the functional method for the comparative legal analysis of the two jurisdictions from Civil Law (Indonesia) and Common Law (India) traditions, the implemental convergence and functional equivalence of the penal laws for preventing communalism and promoting inclusivity and religious amity among the different religious communities in the two States has been elucidated. At the same time, the conceptual and doctrinal differences in jurisprudential understanding of the content, extent, and mechanism for preserving inter-faith amity in the two jurisdictions have been posited to be the result of the divergences in the post-colonial historical trajectories of the two States

The main purpose of this study was to reveal the impact of the eviction of the Oromo from their hereditary land of Finfinne and their possession by Menilek in the late 19th century. The study deals with the history of the transformation of Finfinne to Addis Ababa and the eviction of the Oromo from the area which followed by the emergence of different Safars. In this study, the socio-economic and political conditions of Finfinne Oromo and the surrounding are explored. After the eviction of the Oromo from Finfinne area, the settlement of different ethnic groups in the areas was also discussed. In this study the researcher attempted to employ both primary and secondary sources. The secondary data sources were collected through a brief review of related literatures by assessing published materials. The primary and unpublished data sources were collected through oral interview based on focused group and questionnaire. All these data were carefully analyzed and critically interpreted qualitatively according to the standardized rules and disciplines of social sciences. Even though some earlier attempts have been made by scholars to write the history of Finfinne, most of the areas have received only very minimal attention. Therefore, this article is an attempt to fill the gap that has been created so far by other scholars and something to contribute to the history of the foundation of Safars in Addis Ababa. The study, hence, tried to highlight the history of the foundation of different Safars until the dawn fall of the imperial regime. Certainly this study is far from being exhaustive. However, the researcher hopes it can at least serve as an introduction to give clue to the study of Finfinne history and the eviction of Oromo from the area which later on its name was changed by the imperial rule unjustifiably to Addis Ababa “New Flower”.

The late ninetieth century marked the period when Ilé-Ifè, the reputed cradle of the Yoruba people, witnessed the penetration of Christianity and Islam. Specifically, from the 1890s, both religions established a few years apart through several actors and factors, operated concurrently within Ilé-Ifè. However, the accounts surrounding the periods, initiators and several issues associated with the establishment of these religions have, in the history of Ilé-Ifè, become themes of contention that should be further interrogated from a historical perspective. This study employed primary and secondary data in examining the contested arguments in the narratives surrounding the incursion of these religions in Ilé-Ifè within the context of identifying pitfalls and providing a guide for future studies related to this theme. This study discovered that the issues and contentions include the primordial projection of narratives; and the conflation of the identities of the initiators of the religions, to mention a few. The study is concluded by drawing some lessons from the early peaceful coexistence between the adherents of the two religions in Ilé-Ifè.

Islamic economics has existed since the start of Islamic civilization. However, Islamic economic thoughts established by Indonesian scholars are limited. This exploratory research was carried out to determine the spiritual values of Islamic economics on Hamka's works entitled Tasawuf Modern. Primary and secondary data were collected from Hamka's works entitled Tasawuf Modern and from several papers or books that are relevant to the focus of the research. The data collected were analyzed by combining topics relevant to Islamic economics in modern Sufism and other secondary sources. Content analysis was used for data analysis. The results of this study revealed that, according to Hamka, the richest people are those that need the least. The true wealth lies in the contentment of the soul (qana'ah). Good wealth represents virtue and prohibiton for extravagancy and excessive consumerism. Further, humans need to be in between to carry out good deeds. The results of this study contribute to enriching the discourse of Islamic economic thought, especially in Islamic economic ethics and the role of ethics in business.

The aims of this research are: [1]. Describing the historiographic dimension of Bengawan Sala (Solo River), [2]. Describing the mythology alive in the people’s mind along the River Sala, [3]. Formulating revitalization of historiography and mythology of Bengawan Sala which can support the development of tourism in Surakarta. This is a qualitative research making use of primary and secondary sources. Research data were collected by using in-depth interviews, guided group discussions, field observations, and a close reading method (metode simak). Triangulation of data sources was done to ensure the validity of data. Data were analyzed by using the technique of interactive model. The results of the research show that [1]. Historiography of Bengawan Sala is important and singularly valuable when it is viewed from its historical perspective. From its historiographic aspect, Bengawan Sala was a main and urgent channel of transportation before the coming of train, cars and airplanes. [2]. The meanings of mythology around Bengawan Sala, such as Kerek, Lubuk Maya, Bengawan Goa Sentana, Benawi Getas, Lubuk Werpitu, all show the “sacredness” [or “keangkeran”] of Bengawan Sala as a channel for transportation. This mythological story functions to remind all boating people through such areas to be careful because those areas are the place where two different streams from the opposite direction meet each other, or where whirl pools happen. Mythological story of Tinggang depicts the giants which already died, “ambreganggang” shortened as “Tinggang.” People believe that the big wood fossils scattered in the area are the bones of the giants which were already dead, “ambreganggang“ [or “fell down criss-crossing”]. That mythology shows that the lands around Bengawan Sala are fertile. [3]. The exploratory research gives a basic model of “Revitalization Based on the Historiography of Bengawan Sala” (or “Revitalisasi Bengawan Sala Berbasis Kesadaran Sejarah”), that is revitalization of Bengawan Sala through the historiography and mythology development of it.
