Islamic-Based Development, Politics, Darul Arqam, Daarul Tauhiid, Ban Nua Community, Southeast AsiaAbstract
This paper deals with an analysis of the politics of Islamic-based development strategy of three non-governmental organizations in Southeast Asia that is the Darul Arqam in Malaysia, the Daarul Tauhiid in Indonesia, and the Ban Nua Community in Thailand. The research and writing of this paper originates from the curiosity on why Daarut Tauhiid and the Ban Nua Community are able to pursue their endeavours till today while Darul Arqam was not? Is this related to any politics or politicking in these Islamic-based development processes? The objective of the paper is to seek answer for this research question. Based on library and field research, the latter of which include observation, participant-observation, and interviews with the adoption of purposive sampling, the answer is sought. Almost all discussions in this paper are mainly based on the result of the field research.
