Exploring Educational Dynamics in Conflict-Affected Areas of Southern Thailand: A Qualitative Case Study with an Islamic Education Approach Adri Efferi, Kuntarno Noor Aflah, Oki Dermawan, Islahuddin Islahuddin, Mahamadaree Waeno Nazhruna Jurnal Pendidikan Islam, 2025 The ongoing conflict between the central Thai government and the predominantly Muslim provinces of Southern Thailand, particularly Yala, Pattani, and Narathiwat, has significantly impacted various sectors, including education. The ethnic and religious divisions inherent in this conflict have posed challenges to implementing educational policies. This study explores how local elite politics influence the integration of Islamic education and the national curriculum in these conflict-prone areas. A qualitative case study approach was employed, utilizing semi-structured interviews, observations, and document analysis to gather data from key stakeholders, including school leaders, policymakers, and educators. The findings reveal that despite efforts to incorporate religious and secular curricula, local educational systems face persistent challenges in maintaining balance amidst the broader socio-political tensions. This study also highlights the role of local elite politics in shaping educational policies, particularly in the context of religious and cultural identity. It underscores the need for more flexible and culturally inclusive educational policies that not only meet national standards but also respect the unique cultural and religious needs of the Muslim community in Southern Thailand. The novelty of this research lies in its focus on the intersection of local politics, education, and conflict in a qualitative context, offering new insights into how education can be leveraged as a tool for peacebuilding and social cohesion in conflict-affected regions.
Decentralisation in Regional Governance Law: The Paradox and Non-Functionality of Indigenous Rights and Environmental Protection in Indonesia Triwahyuningsih, Mahamadaree Waeno, Bima Setya Nugraha Journal of Law Environmental and Justice, 2025 Decentralisation in Indonesia is designed to enhance regional autonomy, recognise indigenous communities, and strengthen environmental protection. In practice, however, decentralisation produces a structural paradox whereby regulatory fragmentation, overlapping authorities, and investment-driven governance facilitate extractive industrial expansion, undermine indigenous land rights, and accelerate environmental degradation. This study critically examines how the legal design and implementation of decentralisation generate non-functionality in safeguarding indigenous rights and environmental sustainability within regional governance. Employing a normative juridical approach with a prescriptive-analytical character, the research analyses constitutional provisions, statutory regulations, judicial decisions, and legal doctrines related to decentralisation, indigenous rights, and environmental protection. Qualitative analysis is conducted through systematic, historical, and teleological legal interpretation, complemented by comparative assessment of recognised international standards. The findings reveal that Indonesia’s decentralisation framework remains ineffective due to fragmented and inconsistent normative structures, weak regional institutional capacity, and the absence of enforceable mechanisms for rights restoration and environmental accountability
TRANSCENDING BOUNDARIES OF RATIONALITY AND SPIRITUALITY: IBN ‘ARABI’S HOLISTIC VISION IN ISLAMIC LEGAL INTERPRETATION Ahmad Junaidi, Muhammadaree Waeno, M. Khusna Amal Teosofi Jurnal Tasawuf Dan Pemikiran Islam, 2024 The higher objectives of the Sharia provide a legal framework within Islamic law to guide independent reasoning in interpreting legal issues based on rational principles. However, knowledge can also be obtained through unveiling. Ibn ‘Arabi argued that intellectual activities without spiritual experience are like spiritual perceptions without intellectual support. His analysis involved a systematic and rigorous approach to understanding and interpreting Islamic law through philosophical, linguistic, and historical contextualization. Ibn ‘Arabi relied on inner knowledge when examining legal issues and performed a type of spiritual ijtihād, but he did not disregard the role of traditional scholarship in Islamic jurisprudence. This balanced approach highlights the integration of rational and spiritual dimensions in legal reasoning, emphasizing the importance of both intellectual and spiritual insights in the interpretation of Islamic law. By combining these elements, Ibn ‘Arabi’s methodology offers a comprehensive understanding of legal issues, ensuring that interpretations are both deeply rooted in traditional scholarship and enriched by personal spiritual experiences. This dual approach underscores the dynamic and multifaceted nature of Islamic jurisprudence, where rational analysis and spiritual insight work together to achieve a holistic understanding of the law.

Effects of gelatin and preparation methods on the quality and antioxidant of velvet tamarind (Dialium guineense) halal chewy product R. Cheadoloh, M. Waeno, S. Asae Food Research, 2022 Presently, chewy food products are at risk of contamination of non-halal pork gelatin for Muslim consumers. Thus, the sensory study is vital to ensure that products using halal gelatin will have comparable quality. This work was aimed at studying the influence of the formulation and processing of sweet chewy products made from velvet tamarind (VT). The effects of gelatin content from 1.5 to 9% on sensory acceptance were examined. The results revealed that gelatin of 9% was the highest sensory score in all sensory aspects, which were statistically significant differences between the groups studied (p≤0.05). It had an overall liking score of 7.23 (like moderately). A comparison study on sugar ratio and filtration process on physical-chemical properties and sensory acceptance was also conducted. Sensory testing showed that the VT solution content at UVT, ratio 1:1.74 gave the highest average preference score was different significantly from average (p≤0.05). It had an overall liking score of 7.15 (like moderately). The products of best chewy VT found that the moisture content, aw and pH was 4.98%, 0.66 and 3.65, respectively. It was found that the extract contained a substantial amount of antioxidants in the form of vitamin C and phenolic compounds, where the IC50 was evaluated at 53.64 µg/mL. Therefore, the quality of the halal sweet chewy products was found to be acceptable by the sensory evaluation of panel members.
