As a belief system with a rich history and dynamics, Islam is not monolithic as if referred to self-contained and clearly defined faith. Every single or group of Muslims are entitled to translate Islam in the way and context compatible with the pertinent reality and urgency. Indonesian Islam, as occasionally misunderstood as the periphery in contrast with the one in Arab peninsula, is part of the whole dynamics in the Islamic world which has unequivocally contributed to the development and enhancement of social, political and economic. This first annual conference is designed to enrich the perspectives on Islam in relation to economics, education, law, language, and social issues.
