The contributions of the Khorezm enlighteners to the development of our nation and homeland
Purpose: This study aims to explore the contributions of the Khorezm Jadids to the advancement of national independence, education, culture, and socio-political development in Uzbekistan, highlighting their pioneering role in modernizing schools, literature, and public consciousness during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Research methodology: The research adopts a multidisciplinary approach, integrating historical-analytical, philosophical-comparative, and source-based methods. It utilizes archival records, memoirs, scholarly literature, and press materials to reconstruct the origins, activities, and influence of the Jadid movement within the cultural and political context of Turkestan.
Results: The findings reveal that the Khorezm Jadids were instrumental in promoting democratic reforms, national identity, and the spread of modern education and journalism. Despite facing resistance from conservative forces and colonial oppression, their ideas influenced successive enlightenment movements and shaped Uzbekistan’s modern intellectual and political landscape.
Conclusion: The study underscores the pivotal role of the Jadids in establishing foundational institutions of modern Uzbekistan—such as the first modern schools, newspapers, novels, and democratic ideals—emphasizing the need for continuous scholarly engagement with their legacy.
Limitations: This research is limited to textual and historical sources without extensive use of oral histories or ethnographic methods, potentially omitting local perspectives and interpretations.
Contribution: This article provides a deeper understanding of Jadidism’s intellectual, cultural, and political relevance, offering new insights into its impact on Uzbekistan’s national awakening and its enduring significance in contemporary educational and ideological discourse.

Indonesian Hajj diplomacy to increase Hajj quota during 2015-2023
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine the forms of Hajj diplomacy carried out by the Indonesian government to overcome the long waiting period for Hajj pilgrims.
Research methodology: This study used a qualitative research method that utilizes secondary data as the data source. The secondary data mostly refer to various publications, such as books, journals, news, archives, social media, the official website of the Indonesian Ministry of Religious Affairs, and other sources that are factual and relevant to the topic.
Results: The Indonesian government uses two tracks of diplomacy in Hajj affairs. The first track of diplomacy is bilateral relations with the Saudi Arabian government, either through meetings between the heads of the state or meetings with other relevant stakeholders. Meanwhile, the second track diplomacy is through the relationship between Indonesian non-governmental actors such as Indonesian Hajj and Umrah travel entrepreneurs with the Saudi Arabian authorities to obtain non-governmental Hajj quotas or commonly referred to as Hajj Furoda from the Saudi Arabian government.
Conclusion: These two forms of diplomacy reflect Indonesia’s adaptive strategy in managing Hajj demand amid quota limitations, balancing state and non-state cooperation.
Limitations: This study focused only on the years 2015–2023. It also relies on secondary data that may not provide a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics and processes underlying Indonesia's Hajj diplomacy. Furthermore, this study only explores one non-state actor involved in Hajj diplomacy, namely, Hajj and Umrah travel entrepreneurs.
Contributions: This study provides valuable insights and recommendations to policymakers, researchers, and stakeholders regarding the dynamics of Indonesia's Hajj diplomacy and its impact on international relations.

The philosophical essence and role of the concept of compromise: A methodological analysis
Purpose: This study aims to analyze the philosophical essence and methodological foundations of the concept of compromise, with a focus on its role in fostering harmony and stability in political, social, and spiritual contexts, particularly within the Naqshbandi teachings in Uzbekistan.
Research methodology: The research employs dialectical, synergetic, hermeneutic, and metaphysical approaches to examine the definitions, interpretations, and practical applications of compromise. It draws from primary sources in Sufism, literature reviews, and philosophical texts to explore the multifaceted meanings of compromise across individual, social, and institutional levels.
Results: The study finds that the philosophy of compromise, especially as taught in the Naqshbandi tradition, serves as a vital mechanism for sustaining peace, social cohesion, and ideological resilience. It highlights how the culture of dialogue, self-awareness, and moderation strengthens interpersonal and community relations, promoting long-term stability and development in diverse social environments.
Conlusion: Compromise in the Naqshbandi tradition is a holistic philosophy promoting peace, tolerance, and social balance. It reflects a spiritual and ethical approach to resolving conflicts and fostering community harmony.
Limitation: The study is context-specific to Naqshbandi teachings in Uzbekistan and lacks empirical validation, limiting its generalizability across broader contexts.
Contribution: This research integrates spiritual philosophy into political discourse, offering a multidimensional framework for understanding compromise as both ethical and practical in sustaining social cohesion.
