Talking about politics, I think Anies Baswedan (Jakarta Governor) has big chance to be the next Indonesian President. He is a candidate from Islamist.

Hilabi/Halabi is an Arab surname indeed. Good looking girl.

Ola is indeed an Arabic name (cute name for a girl). it means 'surmount', 'high', and 'arise'. It has even reached European languages like many other Arabic names.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ola_(given_name)

Alatlas is a Hadhrami surname.

Baswedan is half Indonesian Arab, I think?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anies_Baswedan

All the best of luck to him. Indonesia should elect patriots who remain true to Indonesian culture and who work tirelessly to improve Indonesia on every front and make it stronger.

BTW I think that the governor of Jakarta is a Sayyid or Sharif. Because of his middle surname (Rasyid). Many Ashraf and Sadah families from Hijaz and Yemen migrated to South East Asia.

Ya, if we look at Wikipedia Anies Baswedan seems to be really mixed with the native blood as his Arab Indonesian father is also a mix and his mother is a native Sundanese.

Arab Indonesian are participating in many sector in Indonesian economy, some of them also become Vloger. Vloger has become another alternative of profession nowadays in Indonesia and one Indonesian vloger also become top ten highest paid vloger in the world.

Opportunities for Growth: Indonesia’s Gulf Connections
For the Gulf states, Indonesia represents an important economic and political ally in a region that represents a major growth hub.

The Arab world’s long ties to Indonesia began with the first traders initially reaching the island in the fifth century. In the centuries since, the Arab world has provided maritime trade and financial services.

When Islam finally made its way to Indonesia, the two cultures already exhibited a strong financial and cultural bond thanks to Arab trade and migration. The routes that were initially used for trade have helped the ties between Indonesia and the Arab world flourish as Islam’s influence expanded throughout the world.

Indonesia is now home to the world’s largest Muslim population; over 225 million people, or nearly 13 percent of the world’s Muslims, live in the country.

With few exceptions, Indonesia’s economy has grown between 5 and 6 percent annually for nearly 14 years. This impressive consistency is the result of a strong macroeconomic policy, modernization efforts, and a focus on stability following the collapse of Suharto’s brutal military dictatorship.

While Indonesia’s successive governments deserve the lion’s share of the credit for this turnaround, this new status quo as an economic force and a beacon of Islam in Southeast Asia is also due to the Persian Gulf’s influence and efforts.

Today, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is responsible for most of the funding that flows from the Gulf, though the bulk of it is earmarked for religious purposes. Despite President Joko Widodo demonstrating some public disappointment in 2017 regarding the declining amount of funding the country was expected to receive, the Saudi government remains an important partner.

Saudi Arabia supports enormous investments in Islamic education throughout the country. This has been the primary strategy undertaken by the Saudis to extend its soft power over the past 40 years, and includes establishing Islamic schools, providing educational materials, and financing scholarships based in the Kingdom. This support is still largely employed to expand Saudi influence instead of spurring economic activity.

The rest of the Gulf states, however, view Indonesia as a valuable partner and investment that stretches beyond religious motives. While Saudi interest lies in reinforcing influence through religious funding, the real focus for the other Gulf states should be attuned toward economic cooperation and investment. Indeed, while Indonesia’s economy has been stable in the past, its infrastructure is quickly growing obsolete as its economic engine slows.

This is not news to the Gulf. In 2017, the Indonesian government sought a total investment of $10 billion from the United Arab Emirates, even as the country’s private sector was already providing $2 billion in total capital for Indonesian energy and retail sectors. Similarly, Oman recently signed a major agreement with Indonesia worth $14 billion to build a refinery capable of handling 300,000 barrels of oil per day.

However, foreign direct investment in Indonesia from the Gulf states pales in comparison to other foreign benefactors (the top five sources of foreign funds in Indonesia are Singapore, Japan, South Korea, China, and Hong Kong). This reality should concern the Gulf states. While on the surface it simply represents a slight loss of trade influence, it also signals that the Gulf is losing a critical ally in one of the world’s fastest-growing economies. This is unacceptable both in financial and political terms.

Indeed, the Gulf states should view this loss of influence seriously. As the largest Muslim state by population in the world, Indonesia is a vital cultural and political ally for the Arab world in Southeast Asia. Additionally, the current economic landscape poses a national security threat to Indonesia, which should concern the Arab world. China has been known to invest heavily in nations to exert both soft and hard power, and it seems to be following a similar pattern with Indonesia. This waning influence in the biggest bastion of Muslim and Arab interests in Southeast Asia represents a loss of leverage that affects the Gulf’s financial stakes around the world.

Until now, the Gulf has had little real influence in Indonesia. Outside of Saudi Arabia’s religious funding and “soft power” tactics, the Gulf has not been a major investor in the country’s growth trajectory. That status quo, however, cannot endure. For the Gulf states, Indonesia represents an important economic and political ally in a region that represents a major growth hub. More importantly, however, this new funding should be economic, and not religious, reinforcing the idea that the Gulf views Indonesia as an equal in cooperation instead of a pawn for regional politicking.

Mohammed Shihab runs a consultancy practice for Middle Eastern funds and business people seeking to invest in Indonesia and the broader Southeast Asian region. He was formerly at the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

A shame that there are not any Bahasa subtitles. A very interesting video about KSA-Indonesia relations throughout history.

I once watched a documentary about Saudi Arabians of Indonesian origins but I can unfortunately not find it on Youtube again. I think it was taken down due to copyrights.

Suku Arab di Indonesia


Suku Arab-Indonesia adalah warga negara Indonesia yang memiliki keturunan etnis Arab dan etnis pribumi Indonesia. Pada mulanya mereka umumnya tinggal di perkampungan Arab yang tersebar di berbagai kota di Indonesia — misalnya di Jakarta (Pekojan), Bogor (Empang), Surakarta (Pasar Kliwon), Surabaya (Ampel), Gresik (Gapura), Malang (Jagalan), Cirebon (Kauman), Mojokerto (Kauman), Yogyakarta (Kauman) dan Probolinggo (Diponegoro),dan Bondowoso — serta masih banyak lagi yang tersebar di kota-kota seperti Palembang, Banda Aceh, Sigli, Medan, Banjarmasin, Makasar, Gorontalo, Ambon, Mataram, Kupang, Papua dan bahkan di Timor Timur. Pada jaman penjajahan Belanda, mereka dianggap sebagai bangsa Timur Asing bersama dengan suku Tionghoa-Indonesia dan suku India-Indonesia, tapi seperti kaum etnis Tionghoa dan India, tidaklah sedikit yang berjuang membantu kemerdekaan Indonesia.
Sejarah kedatangan
Setelah terjadinya perpecahan besar diantara umat Islam yang menyebabkan terbunuhnya khalifah keempat Ali bin Abi Thalib, mulailah terjadi perpindahan (hijrah) besar-besaran dari kaum keturunannya ke berbagai penjuru dunia. Ketika Imam Ahmad Al-Muhajir hijrah dari Irak ke daerah Hadramaut di Yaman kira-kira seribu tahun yang lalu, keturunan Ali bin Abi Thalib ini membawa serta 70 orang keluarga dan pengikutnya.
Sejak itu berkembanglah keturunannya hingga menjadi kabilah terbesar di Hadramaut, dan dari kota Hadramaut inilah asal-mula utama dari berbagai koloni Arab yang menetap dan bercampur menjadi warganegara di Indonesia dan negara-negara Asia lainnya. Selain di Indonesia, warga Hadramaut ini juga banyak terdapat di Oman, India, Pakistan, Filipina Selatan, Malaysia, dan Singapura.
Terdapat pula warga keturunan Arab yang berasal dari negara-negara Timur Tengah dan Afrika lainnya di Indonesia, misalnya dari Mesir, Arab Saudi, Sudan atau Maroko; akan tetapi jumlahnya lebih sedikit daripada mereka yang berasal dari Hadramaut.
Perkembangan di Indonesia
Kedatangan koloni Arab dari Hadramaut ke Indonesia diperkirakan terjadi sejak abad pertengahan (abad ke-13), dan hampir semuanya adalah pria. Tujuan awal kedatangan mereka adalah untuk berdagang sekaligus berdakwah, dan kemudian berangsur-angsur mulai menetap dan berkeluarga dengan masyarakat setempat. Berdasarkan taksiran pada 1366 H (atau sekitar 57 tahun lalu), jumlah mereka tidak kurang dari 70 ribu jiwa. Ini terdiri dari kurang lebih 200 marga.
Marga-marga ini hingga sekarang mempunyai pemimpin turun-temurun yang bergelar “munsib”. Para munsib tinggal di lingkungan keluarga yang paling besar atau di tempat tinggal asal keluarganya. Semua munsib diakui sebagai pemimpin oleh suku-suku yang berdiam di sekitar mereka. Di samping itu, mereka juga dipandang sebagai penguasa daerah tempat tinggal mereka. Di antara munsib yang paling menonjol adalah munsib Alatas, munsib Binsechbubakar serta munsib Al Bawazier.
Saat ini diperkirakan jumlah keturunan Arab Hadramaut di Indonesia lebih besar bila dibandingkan dengan jumlah mereka yang ada di tempat leluhurnya sendiri. Penduduk Hadramaut sendiri hanya sekitar 1,8 juta jiwa. Bahkan sejumlah marga yang di Hadramaut sendiri sudah punah – seperti Basyeiban dan Haneman – di Indonesia jumlahnya masih cukup banyak.
Keturunan Arab Hadramaut di Indonesia, seperti negara asalnya Yaman, terdiri 2 kelompok besar yaitu kelompok Alawi (Sayyidi) keturunan Rasul SAW (terutama melalui jalur Husain bin Ali) dan kelompok Qabili, yaitu kelompok diluar kaum Sayyid. Di Indonesia, terkadang ada yang membedakan antara kelompok Sayyidi yang umumnya pengikut organisasi Jamiat al-Kheir, dengan kelompok Syekh (Masyaikh) yang biasa pula disebut “Irsyadi” atau pengikut organisasi al-Irsyad.
Tokoh-tokoh dan peranan
Di Indonesia, sejak jaman dahulu telah banyak di antara keturunan Arab Hadramaut yang menjadi pejuang-pejuang, alim-ulama dan da’i-da’i terkemuka. Banyak di antara para Walisongo adalah keturunan Arab, dan diduga kuat merupakan keturunan kaum Sayyid Hadramaut (Van Den Berg, 1886) atau merupakan murid dari wali-wali keturunan Arab. Kaum Sayyid Hadramaut yang datang sekitar abad 15 dan sebelumnya (Walisongo, kerabat dan ayahanda dan datuk mereka) mempunyai perbedaan fundamental dengan kaum Sayyid Hadramaut yang datang pada gelombang berikutnya (abad 18 dan sesudahnya).
Yang mana kaum Sayyid Hadramaut pendahulu, seperti dilansir Van Den Berg, banyak berasimilasi dengan penduduk asli terutama keluarga kerajaan-kerajaan Hindu dalam rangka mempercepat penyebaran agama Islam, sehingga keturunan mereka sudah hampir tak bisa dikenali. Sedangkan yang datang abad 18 dan sesudahnya banyak membatasi pernikahan dengan penduduk asli dan sudah datang dengan marga-marga yang terbentuk belakangan (abad 16-17) hingga saat ini sangat mudah dikenali dalam bentuk fisik tubuh dan nama.
Sampai saat ini, peranan warga Arab-Indonesia dalam dunia keagamaan Islam masih dapat terasakan. Mereka — terutama yang merupakan keturunan Nabi Muhammad SAW — mendapat berbagai panggilan (gelar) penghormatan, seperti Syekh, Sayyid, Syarif (di beberapa daerah di Indonesia menjadi kata Ayip), Wan atau Habib dari masyarakat Indonesia lainnya.
Di samping tokoh-tokoh agama, banyak pejabat negara dan tokoh terkenal Indonesia masa kini yang leluhurnya berasal dari Hadramaut. Nama-nama mereka antara lain:
AR Baswedan (Menteri Penerangan 1947)
Abdurahman Saleh (Jaksa Agung,2004-2007)
Ahmad Albar (Artis penyanyi rock kelompok God Bless)

Ritual ziarah
Di Hadramaut, banyak pemimpin agama yang makamnya diziarahi. Demikian banyaknya jumlah mereka, hingga bila ada seseorang dari Jakarta yang tinggal selama 40 hari di Hadramaut, belum tentu dapat menjangkau seluruh tempat ziarah yang ada.
Tempat ziarah yang paling terkenal adalah “Qabr Hud”, yang menurut kepercayaan orang Hadramaut adalah makam nenek moyang mereka, Nabi Allah Hud AS. Qabr Hud terletak di sebuah lembah, dan terdapat sebuah masjid berdekatan dengannya. Setiap tanggal 11 Sya’ban tahun Hijriah, tempat ini banyak didatangi para penziah. Mereka bukan saja berasal dari Hadramaut, melainkan juga dari berbagai negara yang ‘memiliki’ banyak keturunan Hadramaut. Mereka biasanya tinggal di gedung-gedung bertingkat tiga yang hanya digunakan pada saat acara ziarah. Pada hari itu juga ada pasar raya, yang suasananya kira-kira seperti upacara Sekaten di Yogyakarta.
Menurut tradisi, untuk ziarah ini para peziarah sebaiknya mandi terlebih dahulu atau minimal berwudhu di telaga Hud; yang terletak di bawah makam Nabi Hud. Selama tiga hari, kepemimpinan ziarah di Qabr Hud dilakukan secara berganti-ganti. Hari pertama dipimpin munsib Alhabsji, hari kedua oleh munsib Shahabuddin, dan terakhir yang paling meriah dipimpin oleh munsib Binsechbubakar. Begitu meriahnya akhir ziarah ini, hingga peluru-peluru dihamburkan ke udara. Upacara itu dilakukan oleh para pengawal BinSechbubakar, yang dikenal berpengaruh di Hadramaut.
Secara umum penggolongan Marga Arab Hadramaut itu dikategorikan dalam 4 golongan:
1. Alawiyin (golongan yang mengaku keturunan Rasulullah via keturunan Ahmad bin Isa (AlMuhajir)) c/ : Alatas – Alaydrus – Albar – Algadrie – Alhabsyi – AlHamid – AlHadar – AlHadad – AlJufri – Assegaff -Baaqil – Bawazier –Baridwan-BinSechbubakar-Jamalullail- Maula Heleh/Maula Helah- Shihab
2.
Qabili / Qabail / Qabayl (golongan yang memegang senjata) c/ : Abud – AbdulAzis – Addibani – Afiff- Alhadjri – Alkatiri – Ba’asyir- Bachrak -Badjubier- Bafadhal – Bahasuan –Basyaib-Basyeiban- Baswedan-Bin Zagr- Martak-Nahdi- Sungkar
3. Masaikh
/ Dhaif (gologang pedagang / petani / rakyat kebanyakan) c/ : Baraja
4. Abid (golongan pembantu / hamba sahaya)

Trivia

Yang Dipertuan Agung Malaysia 2001-2006 Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin adalah juga tokoh dari marga Jamalullail, yang leluhurnya berasal dari Hadramaut. Demikian pula dengan Menteri Luar Negeri, Malaysia, Syed Hamid Albar.
Mantan Perdana Menteri Timor Leste dan tokoh sentral partai Fretilin, Mari Alkatiri, adalah juga keturunan Hadramaut. Di Arab Saudi, banyak keturunan Arab Hadramaut yang menjadi pengusaha-pengusaha sukses, seperti marga-marga Bin Laden (keluarga Osama Bin Laden), Bin zagr, Bin Mahfud, Bawazier dan Nahdi.
Di antara marga-marga Hadramaut dari keturunan Sayyid yang pertama-tama ke Indonesia adalah dari keluarga Basyaiban, yaitu Sayyid Abdul Rahman bin Abu Hafs Umar BaSyaiban BaAlawi pada abad ke-17 Masehi. Ia menikah dengan puteri Sunan Gunung Jati, Syarifah Khadijah. Pernikahan ini akhirnya menurunkan banyak kyai di Indonesia. Abu Hafs Sayyid Umar adalah guru dari Syaikh Nuruddin Ar-Raniri, penasihat utama Sultan Iskandar Thani dari Aceh.

Mereka bukan saja berasal dari Hadramaut, melainkan juga dari berbagai negara yang ‘memiliki’ banyak keturunan Hadramaut. Mereka biasanya tinggal di gedung-gedung bertingkat tiga yang hanya digunakan pada saat acara ziarah. Pada hari itu juga ada pasar raya, yang suasananya kira-kira seperti upacara Sekaten di Yogyakarta.
Menurut tradisi, untuk ziarah ini para peziarah sebaiknya mandi terlebih dahulu atau minimal berwudhu di telaga Hud; yang terletak di bawah makam Nabi Hud. Selama tiga hari, kepemimpinan ziarah di Qabr Hud dilakukan secara berganti-ganti. Hari pertama dipimpin munsib Alhabsji, hari kedua oleh munsib Shahabuddin, dan terakhir yang paling meriah dipimpin oleh munsib Binsechbubakar. Begitu meriahnya akhir ziarah ini, hingga peluru-peluru dihamburkan ke udara. Upacara itu dilakukan oleh para pengawal BinSechbubakar, yang dikenal berpengaruh di Hadramaut.
Secara umum penggolongan Marga Arab Hadramaut itu dikategorikan dalam 4 golongan:

Masha'Allah. Beautiful child. May Allah (swt) bless her and give her success in life. Hopefully I will one day hear about her doing KSA and Indonesia proud.

Arabs has been settling in Indonesia much older than this article said. Here is I give you another article

History of the Hadhrami lineage, from Yemen to Indonesia (5)

Jamaluddin al-Hussein was born in 1310 on the west coast of India (Malabar) which was then controlled by the Delhi Sultanate. The figure then traveled from Gujarat to Campa (Indochina now). Among her children are Zainal Alam Barakat and Nurul Alam.

Zainal Alam Barakat sent Maulana Malik Ibrahim, who when he was an adult moved to Gresik, East Java, so that it was better known as Sunan Gresik. He is widely recognized as the first Guardian Songo.

Meanwhile, Nurul Alam moved to Egypt and got a son named Syarif Abdullah Umdatuddin. Syarif Abdullah's son is Syarif Hidayatullah, who as an adult migrated to the archipelago.

In West Java, the name is famous as Sunan Gunung Jati. Sunan Gresik's children would later become Wali Songo too, namely Raden Rahmat alias Sunan Ampel who took down Sunan Bonang and Sunan Giri.

At this point, it is clear the foothold of the argumentation that the Islamization of the Archipelago was initiated by people of Arab descent, not solely traders / ulemas of Gujarat.

Among the arguments is, if Islam entered first from Gujarat, then perhaps the dominant school in Indonesia is Hanafi. In fact, it is the Syafii's school of thought that is dominant in the country. That is, the same as the one in Hadramaut.

Opposing this opinion were the Dutch orientalists, including Snouck Hurgronje (1857-1936). When delivering a lecture at Leiden University in 1907, the dissertation writer Het Mekkaansche feest ("Celebration of Mecca") emphasized that the Arab colonies were not found in Java and Sumatra before the 16th century. Therefore, according to Hurgronje, Islam was brought to the archipelago by Indian (Gujarat) traders, not Arabs.

Historian Ahmad Mansur Suryanegara in his book, Finding History, mentions the arguments of Hurgronje et al. as Gujarat theory.

There are three basis for this theory. First, the lack of facts that explain the role of the Arabs in the Islamization of the archipelago before the 13th century. Second, the old trade relations between Indonesia and India. Third, physical evidence is the oldest inscription about Islam in Sumatra.

All three need to be criticized anyway. Suryanegara cites JC van Leur's research contained in Indonesia: Trade and Society. He explained that in 674 there had been an Arab village on the west coast of Sumatra.

The community has even established colonies in Canton, on the coast of the South China Sea, since the fourth century. Thus, efforts to introduce Islam in the archipelago are very likely to occur at least since the seventh century by Arab descendants.

It is true that the significance of the beginning of da'wah in Indonesia was its benchmark in the 13th century. Because, during this period Samudra Pasai - which is said to be the oldest Islamic empire in Indonesia - was established. Meanwhile, Gujarat succeeded as an international trade center as well as a center for the spread of Islam.

WF Stutterheim (1892-1942) examined the gravestone of Samudra Pasai's first king, Sultan Malik as-Saleh, who died in 1297. According to the archeologist, the tombstone displayed cultural features of Gujarat.

However, Suryanegara explained, the establishment of Samudra Pasai which was influenced by Indian-Islamic culture did not necessarily deny the facts, since the 13th century there has also begun to change the Indian-Chinese maritime route. What used to be through the Sunda Strait changed to via the Malacca Strait. In other words, Samudra Pasai is a continuation of a process that has been going on since long before.

Reflecting on this, it is natural for some parties to complain about the rampant teaching of Gujarat theory in national history books. Moreover, when the sources used came from the colonial era

https://www.republika.co.id/berita/...urunan-hadhrami-dari-yaman-hingga-indonesia-5

In West Sumatran there is folk story about the coming of Alexander The Great soldiers to West Sumatra and they reside there, according to the folk story those soldiers are the ancestors of West Sumatran people. I rather sceptic of the story and I believe those soldiers (and maybe they also brough their family) are actually Arabs. This is why according to history there was an Arab village in West Sumatran coast. It may become the reason that some West Sumatran (Minang people) have fair skin despite being native. Indonesian actor (Dodi Herlino) video that you posted earlier is also West Sumatran (Minang)

Yes, I think Arab-Indonesian relations date back further than 800 years. I say that because we know from history that Arabs/Semitic people of Arabia traded with South Asia 5000+ years ago and China 3000+ years ago.

BTW, Arabs come in all shapes and forms and nuisances but most of us are olive skinned. So not too different from the average Indonesian although Indonesia is home to A LOT of ethnic groups.

Indos, it seems that both of us have amnesia.

Particularly me.

The governor of Jakarta and potential future Indonesian president openly says in this video (already posted by me earlier in this thread) that he is of Arab ancestry


So I was right about the surname.

Saudi business groups and owners signed business contracts with their Indonesian counterparts worth $1.5 million

JEDDAH: Indonesian Consul General, Dr. Mohamad Hery Saripudin, said that the Saudi Vision 2030 reform plans could be an opportunity to develop his country’s “close cooperation” with Saudi Arabia and boost social, cultural and economic sectors between the two nations.
Speaking on a reception held on Tuesday in commemoration of the 74th anniversary of Indonesia’s Independence Day, Saripudin praised mutual cooperation between his country and the Kingdom.
The event, held at the Lazurde Ballroom, Park Hyatt Jeddah, featured Indonesian traditional shows and music performances.
Saripudin said that Indonesian President Joko Widodo expressed Indonesia’s readiness to lend support to the Kingdom to achieve the goal of diversifying its economy.
“This was discussed during bilateral talks with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on the sideline of the last G20 Summit in Osaka.”
On the economic cooperation level, Saripudin said that their business community is delivering great efforts to promote trade and investment with Saudi Arabia.
“Some 398 Saudi business people joined the delegation of last year’s Trade Expo Indonesia (TEI), making it the biggest business group. Of that number, 160 came from the western part of Saudi Arabia. The expo was able to attract more than 33,000 international and domestic visitors from 132 countries,” he said.

“Saudi business groups and owners signed business contracts with their Indonesian counterparts worth $1.5 million,” he added.
Saripudin said he expected business cooperation between Saudi Arabia and Indonesia would continue as “both countries have enjoyed mutual partnership in bilateral trade and therefore it should be developed further.”
He added that he hoped Indonesia and Saudi Arabia could continue working together to achieve another new record on trade transaction at the forthcoming edition of TEI, which will be held between Oct. 16 and 20.
“The positive trend in trade and economic cooperation between Indonesia and Saudi Arabia has also been reflected in the increase in our trade volume. From January to June this year, our total trade in oil and gas increased by 0.85 percent — from $1.517 billion in 2018 to $1.529 billion,” Saripudin said.
He hailed the successful efforts during the last Hajj and thanked the Kingdom’s leadership for the “excellent” arrangements. He said that Indonesia has sent more than 1 million Umrah pilgrims this year.

Jeddah- Asharq Al-Awsat
The Muslim World League (MWL) and the Indonesian government inked an agreement to establish the largest historical museum on the Prophet's biography and Islamic civilization in Jakarta.

The museum will be set up as a branch of its headquarters in Madinah, Saudi Arabia, which opened last month of Ramadan under the patronage of Prince Faisal bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, Governor of Madinah. The opening received international recognition and the MWL had requests from 24 countries, including Indonesia, to help establish branches.

MWL Secretary-General Sheikh Mohammed Al-Issa and Indonesia’s Minister of Civil Service and Reform Dr. Safaruddin Campo signed an agreement in this regard in Jeddah.

When built, the museum is expected to cover an area of more than 100,000 square meters in the Jakarta suburb of Pioppo and will include conference halls and restaurants.

Issa said that approval was accorded for establishing the museum’s branch in Jakarta in response to a request from the Indonesian government as the MWL attaches great importance to preserving the rich legacy of the Prophet’s biography and Islamic civilization.

“Indonesia’s capital Jakarta has become the first branch museum of the Madinah international museum. The museum will showcase the contents of the Prophet’s biography and Islamic civilization, and will host multiple events, including debates and training sessions, as well as conferences, forums, and seminars,” he said.

For his part, Indonesian Minister Campo expressed happiness over the signing of the agreement. He conveyed the gratitude and appreciation of Indonesia’s president and people to MWL secretary-general and those in charge of the museum project.
