Assessing the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on rice import prices in five West African countries : an econometric approach using the Generalised Method of Moments (GMM)
(Universitas Islam Internasional Indonesia, 2025-08-06) Gissay, Amadou; Teguh Yudo Wicaksono
West Africa's heavy reliance on food imports, particularly rice, renders the region vulnerable to external market fluctuations, especially since these imports are primarily dollar-denominated. Currency depreciation exacerbates inflation, adversely affecting food security and purchasing power. This paper investigates how exchange rate fluctuations influence rice import prices and whether they impact monetary policy in major importers like Nigeria, Ghana, Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire, and Benin. Utilizing a monthly panel dataset from 2000 to 2024 and employing the System Generalised Method of Moments (GMM), the study reveals significant price persistence, with past rice prices heavily influencing current prices. Depreciation of exchange rates has a pronounced effect on import prices, indicating high sensitivity to currency fluctuations. Additionally, global food prices and trade tariffs contribute to rising costs, intensifying consumer vulnerability to international market shocks. The research further shows that exchange rate fluctuations significantly influence monetary policy decisions, particularly concerning interest rates. Central banks tend to tighten monetary policy in response to currency depreciation and rising food prices. However, the inertia in interest rate adjustments suggests a slow monetary policy transmission process in the Sub-Region. The study advocates for sound fiscal policies, effective foreign exchange interventions, and improved governance to mitigate food import inflation. Additionally, future research may extend to wheat, maize, or use an importable stable index to test whether past-through elasticities differ by cereal. Similarly, for the household’s welfare link, coupling the price pass-through with LSMS-type consumption data could help estimate real-income effects on poor households versus non-poor households.
Ḥadīth scholarship in the 18th century of haramayn : the contribution of Abdullah Ibn Salim al-Basri (d. 1722)
(Universitas Islam Internasional Indonesia, 2025-08-01) Abdul Kamil; Zacky Khairul Umam
The 18th century of Islamic history is often claimed as an age of intellectual decline, including in the field of ḥadīth studies. In this period, ḥadīth was commonly positioned by scholars as a foundation of moral guidance and a tool in responding to religious problems. However, as an academic discipline, ḥadīth was perceived to have undergone little to no significant development. This perception has been challenged by recent studies that explore the intellectual networks of 18th-century scholars and highlight the vibrant ḥadīth scholarship in regions such as Yemen and India. Nevertheless, research on the central role of ʿAbd Allāh ibn Sālim al-Baṣrī in preserving and advancing the discipline of ḥadīth in the Haramayn remains limited. Al-Baṣrī was a key figure within the intellectual network of the Haramayn during this period. This thesis specifically examines al-Baṣrī’s contributions to the development of ḥadīth studies in the Haramayn in the 18th century. It explores the broader intellectual dynamics of ḥadīth scholarship during that period. It adopts an intellectual history approach combined with textual analysis. The research methodology encompasses a comprehensive literature review of historical sources and a detailed examination of al-Baṣrī’s works. The findings reveal that al-Baṣrī played a significant role in both preserving and advancing the tradition of ḥadīth scholarship. He not only inherited and transmitted the classical ḥadīth tradition but also actively engaged in teaching, the transmission of isnād, the authorship of ḥadīth works, particularly a commentary on Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī, and the critical verification of manuscripts to ensure textual integrity. This study contributes to a more nuanced understanding of ḥadīth studies in the 18th century. By challenging the assumption of intellectual decline, it demonstrates that the period was marked by dynamic developments, including the continuity of transmission practices, deeper engagement with textual understanding, and the emergence of diverse genres of ḥadīth scholarship, as exemplified by al-Baṣrī’s intellectual legacy.
The wilderness and divine revelation to women : a comparison of Jewish and Islamic understandings of Hagar’s story
(Universitas Islam Internasional Indonesia, 2025-08-01) Fithri Dzakiyyah Hafizah; Nakissa, Aria
A woman stands deeply connected to the heart of the wild expanse, alone, overlooked, and without her protectors. In her profound isolation, she reaches out to the Divine and receives an immediate reply. This woman is Hagar. Her lament, her insight, and her designation of God as El Ro’i signify not just endurance but a moment steeped in the sacred. Nevertheless, in the majority of spiritual traditions, Hagar remains a peripheral character, overshadowed by the male prophetic heritage she helped cultivate. This thesis explores her wilderness experience, a liminal realm that bridges her encounter with the divine, where revelation emerges not from prophetic authority but from profound obedience and vulnerability. This exploration presents a mystical and philosophical reinterpretation of Hagar’s narrative as a recipient of divine revelation in the wilderness by weaving together wisdom from Kabbalistic and Sufi worldviews. Through an interpretive journey with both sacred and mystical writings, it explores Hagar juxtaposed with the women within holy tales, such as Yocheved, Maryam, and Fāṭimah al-Zahrāʾ, who come to know revelation amid turmoil, crafting a unique prophetic pattern: existential crisis, divine encounter, and spiritual elevation. By traversing Jewish and Islamic traditions, this thesis honors Hagar not as a mere theological figure but as an embodiment of spiritual richness, whose divine meeting epitomizes a mystical archetype. The wild environment, rather than resembling a barren nothingness, becomes a channel of sacred urgency, an occurrence of what Mircea Eliade termed hierophany. Core to this examination are two fundamental questions: To begin, how does the wilderness operate as a theological domain of revelation within the experience of Hagar? Furthermore, what is the theological significance of reading Hagar’s experience of divine revelation in the wilderness through the mystical frameworks of Judaism and Islam? By exploring her narrative, not just as curious side notes to spiritual beliefs, but also as a vital framework for understanding women’s experience of divine revelation, this thesis asserts that Hagar’s marginality and solitary life might become a vessel of divine essence. In doing so, it rejuvenates Hagar not merely as a historical figure but as a harbinger of theophany, whose spiritual influence transcends the confines of tradition and beckons a reimagining of revelation itself.
Asymmetric and symmetric responses of the environmental performance on tourism industry : a case study of D-8 countries
(Universitas Islam Internasional Indonesia, 2025-08-08) Muhammad Khafidh; Ugi Suharto
This study explores the asymmetric and symmetric responses of the environmental performance on tourism industry in the context of D-8 countries. While the tourism sector significantly contributes to economic growth, its environmental impact, particularly in developing countries like those in the D-8 group, remains underexplored. Existing research often overlooks the nonlinear and complex relationships between environmental performance and tourism activities, creating a significant gap in literature. Addressing this gap, the study aims to analyze the short-run and long-run symmetric and asymmetric impacts of environmental performance on the tourism industry within D-8 countries using advanced econometric models such as ARDL and NARDL. Employing a quantitative approach, the research utilizes panel data from 2008 to 2024, sourced from reputable institutions like the World Data Bank, World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) and Yale Center for Environmental Law & Policy. By capturing both symmetric and asymmetric relationships, the study provides deeper insights into the dynamic interplay between environmental performance and tourism. The findings are expected to reveal the differential impacts of positive and negative shocks in environmental performance on tourism trends, offering actionable insights for policymakers. It is anticipated that the study will propose strategies for integrating green tourism practices, developing energy-efficient infrastructure, and adopting international environmental standards to foster sustainable tourism while mitigating ecological degradation in D-8 countries.
A theological reappraisal of wujūdiyyah in the seventeenth century : an analysis of tuḥfat sarandīb
(Universitas Islam Internasional Indonesia, 2025-08-28) Muhammad Cahyadi Gunawan; Zacky Khairul Umam
This thesis focuses on Tuḥfat Sarandīb, a seventeenth century manuscript attributed initially to Shaykh Nūr al-Dīn al-Rānīrī that contends Islamic mysticaltheological doctrines. It aims to re-examine theological doctrines of wujūdiyyah in the seventeenth century through the manuscript and seeks to posit it in the intellectual transmission of South and Southeast Asia. The research assumes that Tuḥfat Sarandīb is an understudied manuscript that resembles an intellectual transmission in seventeenth century South and Southeast Asia. It recorded two prominent scholars in the Archipelago namely Nūr al-Dīn al-Rānīrī as the author of original Malay treatises and Shaykh Yūsuf al-Maqāṣīrī as the translator of them, intended to al-Maqāṣīrī’s acquaintance Ibrāhīm ibn Mīkhān and the people of Ceylon. This study adopts a qualitative methodology resorting to three conceptual frameworks namely, philology and textual criticism, Islamic intellectual history, and Islamic theological-mystical discourses. The first framework is used to produce a critical edition of the manuscript and to analyze its provenance as well as its codicological information. The second and the third are used to reveal the historical and intellectual background of the manuscript alongside with their contestation of mystical-theological debates. The primary data source is a digitized copy of Tuḥfat Sarandīb provided in the Digital Library of the Iranian Parliament (Majles Library) and catalogued under MS number 10-26404 and the digitized copy of Ḥall al-Ẓill accessed from Digital Repository of Endangered and Affected Manuscripts in Southeast Asia (DREAMSEA) under project number DS 0060 00011, while the transcription of Tuḥfat Sarandīb in Sulaiman Ibrahim’s journal remains a complementary source. The secondary sources consist of various manuscript transcriptions alongside relevant books, journals, scholarly seminars in multiple media. This thesis contends that Tuḥfat Sarandīb is al-Maqāṣīrī’s literary work that incorporates an Arabic translation of Rānīrī’s mystical treatises. It preserves Rānīrī’s theological doctrines in wujūdiyyah discourse and reflects al-Maqāsīrī’s multiple transformations during his banishment in Ceylon, Sri Lanka today.
