Abstract

This paper studies waqf projects including schools, mosques, orphanages and housing built by Turkish aid agencies in Aceh province of Indonesia after the 2004 Aceh Tsunami following the Indian Ocean Earthquake. Such projects continue to be actively supported and to serve the Acehnese community, playing an important role with local organizations. Besides the Turkish Government, NGOs such as Turkish Foundation Institutions including the Turkish Red Crescent (Kızılay), Deniz Feneri and Humanitarian Relief Foundation (IHH) are the main groups considered in this study. The paper situates Turkish waqf in the long-term history of relations between Turkey and Aceh, dating from the mid-16th century, which was reinvigorated by Turkish solidarity following the 2004 tsunami. Essentially, the fact that there is a serious lack of literature on studies of these institutions and activities and their deeper cultural significance is the main rationale for presenting this work. The main purpose of this study is to examine the foundation and relief works from Turkey to Aceh after the shocking earthquake of 9.1 magnitude, which resulted in 126,741 deaths, 93,285 missing and massive destruction of property and infrastructure on 26th December 2004 in Aceh.

Alternate abstract:

Ini adalah kajian mengenai projek waqf oleh agensi bantuan Turki di wilayah Aceh, Indonesia selepas Tsunami Aceh pada 2004 yang disebabkan oleh gempa bumi di lautan India. Projek ini termasuk bantuan kepada sekolah, masjid, anak-anak yatim dan pembinaan kawasan perumahan. Agensi bantuan Turki memainkan peranan secara aktif bagi memberi sokongan berterusan dan berkhidmat kepada komuniti Aceh dan organisasi tempatan. Selain kerajaan Turki, badan bukan kerajaan Turki seperti Institusi Yayasan Turki, Bulan Sabit Merah Turki (Kızılay), Deniz Feneri dan Yayasan Bantuan Kemanusiaan (IHH) adalah organisasi yang dibincangkan di dalam kajian ini. Kajian ini meletakkan Waqf Turki di dalam sejarah hubungan jangka panjang diantara Turki dan Aceh yang bermula sejak dari pertengahan abad ke-16. Hubungan ini diberi nafas baru apabila pihak Turki memberi solidariti selepas Tsunami di Aceh pada 2004. Walaubagaimanapun, terdapat kekurangan kajian kesusasteraan mengenai institusi ini dan aktiviti yang dilakukan yang boleh memberi kesan mendalam terhadap budaya Aceh. oleh itu, tujuan utama kajian ini adalah untuk membincangkan asas penubuhan waqf dan kerja-kerja bantuan dari Turki selepas gempa bumi berukuran 9.1 yang menyebabkan 126,741 kematian, 93,285 kehilangan dan kemusnahan harta dan infrastruktur pada 26 December 2004.
