The implementation of Community Service Program (KKN) in Pagur Village, Panyabungan District, focuses on the Tajhizul Mayyit (Corpse Management) program as a form of community service in the religious field. The main problem faced by the community is the limited knowledge and practical skills in performing fardu kifayah, especially regarding the procedures for managing a corpse according to Islamic sharia. This has the potential to cause difficulties when a death occurs, especially for families who lack a proper understanding of the correct Tajhizul Mayyit procedures. This activity aims to enhance community understanding of fardu kifayah obligations, provide systematic knowledge, and train practical skills in managing corpses, from washing, shrouding, praying, to burying. The methods used in this activity include outreach, deliberation, direct practice, and simulations with the community. Through this method, participants not only understand the theory but are also able to practice it directly. The results of the activity show a significant increase in the understanding and skills of the Pagur Village community. This is evident from the community's enthusiasm in participating in simulations, as well as their ability to perform the Tajhizul Mayyit stages correctly according to procedures. In addition, this activity also fosters a sense of togetherness, social care, and community readiness to help each other in fulfilling fardu kifayah obligations in their environment. Thus, the implementation of the Tajhizul Mayyit program during this KKN activity has made a real contribution to increasing the religious capacity of the community, as well as supporting the realization of a self-reliant, caring, and empowered community in implementing Islamic teachings.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the murabahah contract in the Home Ownership Credit (KPR) financing product at Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI) Cimahi Branch Office. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method with data collection through interviews, observation, and documentation. The results show that the KPR financing mechanism at BSI Cimahi Branch Office has been running in accordance with sharia principles established by the National Sharia Council (DSN-MUI). The process starts from customer application, wakalah contract, to the implementation of the murabahah contract with the principle of transparency of the principal price and profit margin agreed in advance and fixed throughout the financing tenor. The implementation of this system provides payment certainty for customers and protects against the risk of interest rate fluctuations. In terms of performance, Murabahah KPR financing at BSI Cimahi Branch Office has contributed significantly to the financing portfolio with a low level of Non-Performing Financing (NPF) and positive growth every year. However, challenges still exist in the amount of the down payment and the attachment of a fixed margin that can be a burden for customers with limited financial capabilities. Overall, the murabahah contract has proven to be an effective, transparent, and sharia-compliant instrument in supporting home ownership for the Muslim community in Indonesia.

Islamic banking plays a crucial role in providing financing in accordance with Islamic principles, including through the Home Ownership Credit (KPR) product. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Murabahah and Musyarakah Mutanaqishah (MMQ) contracts in the iB Hijrah KPR financing product at Bank Muamalat KCP Rancaekek. The Murabahah contract is implemented through a sale and purchase mechanism, where the bank purchases the house the customer needs and resells it with an agreed profit margin, thus providing price certainty and a simple process. Meanwhile, the MMQ contract is based on a partnership between the bank and the customer with a concept of joint ownership that gradually decreases, thus creating flexibility and a more balanced risk sharing. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection techniques through literature studies, interviews, and observations. The results of the analysis show that the majority of customers prefer the Murabahah contract due to its simplicity, although in the long term, MMQ is seen as more economical and fair. Thus, both contracts are equally relevant to support Sharia-based home ownership. This research is expected to contribute to Islamic banking in improving service quality, strengthening Islamic financial literacy, and encouraging innovation in competitive and sustainable financing products.

This study analyzes the role of millennials and Gen Z in driving the growth of halal e-commerce in Indonesia. The global halal industry is projected to reach US$3.36 trillion by 2028, underscoring the importance of strengthening halal e-commerce in Indonesia, which has the largest Muslim population in the world (Kawsar, 2025). Millennials and Gen Z are the dominant users of the internet and digital marketplaces, thus playing a strategic role in expanding the digital halal economic ecosystem. This study uses a qualitative approach with literature studies and in-depth interviews with consumers and halal digital business actors. The analysis focuses on digital behavior, halal product preferences, and awareness of sharia economic principles. The results show that millennials and Gen Z contribute through three main roles. First, as smart consumers who show high preference and loyalty to certified halal products. Second, as creative business actors who create sharia startups and marketplaces with innovative digital marketing strategies. Third, as agents of change who promote digital halal literacy and strengthen public awareness of the importance of halal products and services. In conclusion, the role of these two generations is not only in consumption, but also in creating a sustainable digital halal business ecosystem, strengthening Indonesia's competitiveness in the global halal industry, and supporting national sharia economic development.

This study examines Ahmad Mustain Nasoha’s thoughts on the relationship between the constitution and Islamic law (sharia) within the context of Indonesian citizenship. The interaction between religion and the state in Indonesia has always been a dynamic discourse, particularly in balancing Islamic values as the majority religion with the constitutional principles rooted in Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution. This research employs a qualitative method using a literature review approach to analyze Nasoha’s works and perspectives on integrating Islamic values into the legal and state systems. The findings reveal that, according to Nasoha, Islamic law should not be formalized in a legalistic manner but should function as a moral inspiration and social norm within national life. Through the perspective of legal syncretism, Islamic law, customary law, and national law can be harmonized to create an inclusive and just legal system. Pancasila serves as a meeting point that bridges religious and constitutional principles, allowing Muslims to practice Islamic teachings without conflicting with the constitution. Nasoha’s thought offers a moderate and contextual model of citizenship suitable for Indonesia’s pluralistic society.

Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI) faces challenges in optimizing financial performance and market valuation following the merger process in 2021. This study aims to analyze the influence of Third Party Funds, liquidity, and Islamicity Performance Index on BSI stock prices during the period 2021-2025. The research employs multiple linear regression analysis method using monthly data from BSI financial reports and stock price data from the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The results indicate that Third Party Funds have a negative but non-significant effect on BSI stock prices, suggesting that increases in Third Party Funds do not automatically enhance stock valuation as investors are concerned about the profit-sharing burden that must be paid. Liquidity has a positive and significant effect on stock prices, demonstrating that fund distribution efficiency is the primary factor evaluated by investors. The Islamicity Performance Index has a negative and significant effect on stock prices, confirming that investors interpret high sharia compliance indices as reducing profitability for shareholders. This study confirms that investors in evaluating Bank Syariah Indonesia stocks prioritize operational efficiency over operational scale or sharia compliance orientation.

This study employs a qualitative library research method with the aim of analyzing fiqh muamalah in the practice of online buying and selling transactions from the perspective of Islamic law and sharia. The development of digital technology has given rise to various new models of transactions that require Islamic law to remain adaptive and relevant. Online trade is one form of contemporary muamalah that raises several issues, such as the validity of contracts, price transparency, clarity of goods, and the potential for fraud. In fiqh muamalah, the validity of a sale and purchase contract is determined by the fulfillment of its pillars and conditions, namely the presence of contracting parties, a clearly defined object of transaction, and a legitimate agreement. The findings indicate that online buying and selling transactions are valid as long as they comply with sharia principles such as justice, transparency of information, clarity of goods, and the absence of gharar (uncertainty), maysir (gambling), or riba (usury). Thus, Islamic law does not reject technological innovation as long as the substance of the contract remains in line with sharia. This research emphasizes that fiqh muamalah is capable of providing practical and relevant solutions in addressing the challenges of the modern digital economy.  

The company distinguishes itself from other retail stores through its unique approach, particularly in managing minimarkets by adhering to sharia principles in employee management. Ecommerce Reny Swalayan-ku merges traditional self-service elements with modern technology, positioning itself as a platform that facilitates the online purchase of daily necessities. The platform features user-friendly mobile applications and websites designed to streamline transactions, offering a variety of flexible payment options to enhance the shopping experience. Furthermore, goods are delivered using Reny Swalayan-ku own expedition service, with shipping costs calculated based on the distance from the customer's home to the minimarket. This research seeks to examine the impact of Service Quality, Discounts, and the Interactivity of Social Media Marketing on Shoppers’loyalty, with Online Trust serving as an intervening variable among users of Reny Swalayanku in Surabaya. An associative quantitative research methodology was employed, utilizing data gathered via questionnaires distributed to 94 respondents who are users of Reny Swalayan-ku Surabaya. Data analysis was conducted using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) through the SmartPLS software. The findings of the research suggest that Service Quality, Discounts, and the Interactivity of Social Media Marketing have a significant and positive impact on Online Trust. Additionally, Online Trust was determined to exert a positive and significant effect on Shoppers’loyalty. Moreover, both Discount and Social Media Marketing Interactivity directly and positively influence Shoppers’loyalty. In contrast, Service Quality does not demonstrate a significant direct impact on Shoppers’loyalty, indicating that its function may primarily serve as a foundation for establishing trust, which subsequently affects loyalty. These results highlight the critical role of fostering consumer trust through high-quality service, appealing discount promotions, and engaging social media interactions to enhance Shoppers’loyalty within the realm of retail e-commerce.

This study investigates the differences in customer satisfaction levels toward the services of Bank Syariah Indonesia by employing a nonparametric statistical approach. Customer satisfaction is a critical benchmark in Islamic banking, as it not only reflects the quality of services but also the extent to which sharia compliance is embedded in financial practices. Given that satisfaction data are generally ordinal and may not fulfill the assumptions of normal distribution, nonparametric methods such as the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests were selected as the primary analytical tools. This research adopts a qualitative library-based method by reviewing relevant literature, scientific articles, and previous empirical studies to construct a comprehensive understanding of customer satisfaction measurement within Islamic banking. The findings highlight that variations in satisfaction are influenced by multiple factors, including service speed, staff friendliness, accessibility of digital platforms, and clarity of sharia principles applied in daily operations. Results further suggest that demographic characteristics and service usage frequency significantly shape satisfaction differences across customer groups. Theoretically, this study enriches the body of knowledge on the application of nonparametric statistics in Islamic banking research, while practically, it provides actionable insights for Bank Syariah Indonesia in formulating adaptive service strategies. These contributions are expected to assist the bank in strengthening customer loyalty, enhancing competitiveness, and sustaining growth in the dynamic modern banking industry.

The development of digital technology provides significant opportunities for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to improve the quality of their product promotions. However, most MSMEs fostered by Sharia cooperatives still face obstacles in utilizing the latest technology, particularly artificial intelligence (AI), as an effective and efficient promotional tool. Given this situation, this community service activity was carried out with the aim of increasing the capacity of MSME members in utilizing AI technology to create more attractive product promotional content that aligns with digital marketing trends. The activity took place at Kedai Fatiya Sukodono in July 2025, coinciding with the BMT Insan Mandiri Sukodono Branch member gathering. The methods used included counseling on the importance of AI-based digital marketing, technical training on using AI applications for content design, and hands-on practice in creating promotional materials by participants. A total of 40 MSMEs from various sectors, such as culinary, fashion, and services, participated in this activity. The results showed an increase in participants' knowledge and skills in creating more creative, professional, and cost-effective promotional content. In addition, participants also gained a better understanding of digital-based promotional strategies that can increase market reach. Thus, this community service activity provides a real contribution to strengthening the competitiveness of MSMEs in the era of digital transformation, while also supporting the role of sharia cooperatives as partners in empowering the people's economy

This study examines two main issues related to palm oil trading transactions in Kuala Keritang Village, Indragiri Hilir Regency, Riau Province. The first issue concerns the analysis of pricing mechanisms in palm oil trading, while the second focuses on the review of Islamic business ethics in such transactions. The objective of this research is to understand in detail how the price determination system operates in the local palm oil market and to assess the extent to which these trading practices align with the principles of Islamic business ethics. To address these issues, a qualitative descriptive method was employed. This approach was chosen because it allows for a comprehensive description of facts, data, and trading mechanisms while providing space for critical analysis in relation to Islamic values. Data were obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation, which were then described, analyzed, and discussed in order to answer the research questions thoroughly. The findings indicate that, in general, palm oil trading practices in Kuala Keritang Village are similar to other common trading systems, but they differ in terms of price-setting mechanisms. In practice, the price of palm oil is largely determined by buyers based on market conditions, which often creates injustice for farmers as sellers. From the perspective of Islamic business ethics, this practice does not fully comply with the principles of fairness, honesty, and mutual benefit, which are essential foundations of Islamic economic transactions. The study concludes that violations of Islamic business ethics principles, particularly regarding fairness in pricing, still occur in palm oil trading within the village. Therefore, improvements are needed in the transaction system so that palm oil trading in Kuala Keritang can be carried out in accordance with sharia principles, ensuring justice and mutual benefit for both sellers and buyers.

Digital technology chance in Indonesia presents both occasions and constraint for the development of Islamic economics, particularly in implementing Islamic business strategies through e-commerce. The adoption of digital technology, including Islamic fintech and halal e-commerce, has expanded market access, improved efficiency, and strengthened MSME competitiveness while adhering to sharia principles. This study employs a qualitative method using library research and the maqāshid shariah framework to examine the role of digital innovations such as fintech and blockchain in supporting Islamic entrepreneurship. The findings indicate that Islamic business strategies in the digital era have the potential to broaden international market reach, enhance transaction clarity, and reinforce compliance with sharia principles. Furthermore, digital innovation aligns with maqāshid shariah objectives, focusing on the protection of religion, life, intellect, lineage, and wealth. However, challenges remain, including low digital literacy, complex sharia regulations, and the risk of platform misuse. Therefore, cross-sector collaboration, the enhancement of digital and Islamic economic literacy, and strengthening the role of sharia e-commerce supervisory bodies are essential to build a fair and sustainable business ecosystem. With these strategic measures, digital technology integration can serve as a key instrument in strengthening the ummah’s economy, promoting financial inclusion, and positioning Indonesia as a global hub for Islamic economics.

This study examines the integration of Maqasid al-Sharia the objectives of Islamic law into contemporary sustainable development frameworks, focusing on how Islamic ethical principles can guide social, economic, and environmental sustainability. Maqasid al-Sharia traditionally aims to preserve five core elements: religion, life, intellect, progeny, and wealth, all of which contribute to human well being. The research explores how these principles can be adapted to address modern challenges such as poverty, inequality, and environmental degradation, highlighting the potential of Maqasid al-Sharia to align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Key Islamic principles, including justice (ʿadl), public welfare (maṣlaḥah), and ecological stewardship (khilafah), provide a moral framework for sustainable development, ensuring that economic growth is achieved alongside social justice and environmental preservation. The study also examines the role of Islamic finance, particularly tools like Sukuk, Zakat, and Waqf, in promoting sustainability by funding social welfare projects and supporting environmental initiatives. By comparing Maqasid al-Sharia with secular sustainability models, the research underscores the importance of integrating ethical and spiritual accountability into sustainability efforts. While secular models often prioritize economic growth, Islamic sustainability frameworks emphasize the interconnectedness of human development, social justice, and ecological balance, offering a more holistic approach. The findings suggest that integrating Maqasid al-Sharia into policy and development frameworks can provide a comprehensive, ethically grounded approach to addressing global sustainability challenges. Future research should focus on empirical studies to assess the practical application of Maqasid al-Sharia in real world sustainable development projects and policy making, particularly in Muslim majority societies.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are an essential pillar of the Indonesian economy, contributing significantly to employment creation, poverty reduction, and income distribution. However, despite their substantial role, MSMEs continue to face a number of persistent challenges, including limited access to capital, low levels of financial literacy, and inadequate utilization of technology. These barriers hinder their ability to grow, compete, and adapt to rapid economic changes. This study aims to explore and analyze the role of Islamic Financial Institutions (IFIs) in empowering MSMEs within the framework of Sharia principles. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, this research is based on a comprehensive literature review of scholarly articles, official reports, and other relevant academic sources. The findings reveal that IFIs provide both financial and social contributions to MSMEs. Financially, IFIs channel funds through Sharia-compliant contracts such as mudharabah and murabahah, which allow entrepreneurs to access financing without relying on conventional interest-based systems. Socially, IFIs carry out a redistributive role by managing and disbursing zakat, infaq, sadaqah, and waqf (ZISWAF), while also offering entrepreneurship training, mentoring, and technical assistance. These functions collectively enhance MSMEs’ access to capital, strengthen their managerial and operational capacities, and increase competitiveness in both domestic and global markets. Nevertheless, several challenges remain, including the uneven geographical distribution of IFI services, slow adoption of digital technology, and the need for more supportive regulatory frameworks. Strengthening IFIs’ role through policy integration, technological innovation, and collaboration with government and private sectors is essential for maximizing their impact on MSME empowerment. Thus, IFIs not only act as financial intermediaries but also as socio-economic catalysts that support sustainable and inclusive economic development in Indonesia.

This study aims to analyze the contribution of village funds, Islamic financial institutions, and regional economic integration to regional economic growth. In the context of fiscal decentralization and regional development, these three variables play a strategic role in accelerating inclusive and sustainable economic development. Village funds serve as the primary instrument to finance infrastructure development and community empowerment. Meanwhile, Islamic financial institutions provide access to fair and Sharia-compliant financing, supporting the productivity of micro and small enterprises. Regional economic integration, particularly through inter-regional connectivity and cooperation, strengthens local markets and enhances regional competitiveness. The analysis method uses a descriptive-qualitative approach based on literature studies and secondary data. The findings indicate that the synergy among the three variables can drive equitable economic growth, although integrated policies and institutional capacity strengthening are still needed.

This study aims to reconstruct the Islamic macroeconomic paradigm by focusing on fiscal policy and responses to resource scarcity. Using a descriptive qualitative approach based on literature review, the study reveals that fiscal policy in Islam functions not only as a tool for economic stabilization but also as an instrument for equitable distribution and sustainable resource management. Historical analysis of fiscal practices during the Prophet Muhammad's era illustrates a zakat-, kharaj-, and fai-based system managed transparently and justly through baitul mal. In the modern context, challenges such as inequality, resource exploitation, and energy crises require a new approach grounded in maqashid shariah as the foundation of macroeconomic planning. Therefore, reconstructing Islamic macroeconomics is essential to establishing a just, sustainable, and spiritually rooted economic system.

The concept of market orientation is an important cornerstone in modern marketing strategies, where companies not only focus on a deep understanding of customer needs, but also actively monitor competitors and maintain internal coordination between departments. Jaworski and Kohli (1993) emphasized that market orientation is one of the key factors that can affect a company's performance. Through the use of market information, companies can adjust their business strategies to meet current customer needs while anticipating future needs. A strong market orientation is believed to be able to make a significant contribution to increasing the company's competitiveness in the long term. However, if market orientation is based solely on materialistic goals and worldly gains, then the value of sustainability and societal well-being is often overlooked. From an Islamic perspective, market orientation needs to be based on sharia values, especially the principle of maslahah. This concept emphasizes that every business activity must bring benefits, avoid harm, and be in harmony with maqasid al-shariah, which is to protect religion, soul, intellect, descent, and property. Thus, market orientation is not only directed at the fulfillment of customer satisfaction and competitive advantage, but also at the achievement of blessings and social welfare. The integration of maslahah values in market orientation gives birth to the concept of Maslahah Market Responsiveness, which is the ability of companies to respond quickly and appropriately to market dynamics while still being based on ethics and social responsibility. This is an advantage in itself because it not only improves marketing performance, but also strengthens the company's image as a trustworthy and ethical entity. By combining conventional market orientation and sharia values, companies can build a sustainable competitive advantage, increase customer satisfaction, and make a positive contribution to society at large.

This research aims to integrate Resource Advantage (RA) Theory with Islamic values, especially the concept of maslahah, as a strategic approach to create a sustainable and ethical competitive advantage. RA Theory emphasizes the importance of superior resource management as a key factor in achieving a competitive position in the market. However, this theory tends to be oriented towards achieving financial benefits alone without paying attention to social or ethical aspects. On the other hand, the concept of maslahah in Islam prioritizes broader welfare, including benefits for individuals, society, and the environment, as well as avoiding harm. The integration of RA Theory with the maslahah principle offers a new conceptual framework that balances business interests with social responsibility. This approach emphasizes that resource management is not only geared towards maximizing profits, but also to provide sustainable and equitable benefits for all stakeholders. Thus, companies that implement strategies based on RA Theory and maslahah are expected to be able to effectively improve marketing performance while strengthening their reputation as business entities that are committed to ethical and sharia values. Furthermore, the implementation of this integration can help companies in dealing with the dynamics of the global business environment, including sustainability issues, corporate social responsibility, and consumer demands that are increasingly critical to business practices. The results of this research are expected to make a theoretical contribution by expanding the study of marketing management that is oriented towards ethics and sustainability, as well as practical contributions in the form of strategic recommendations for sharia-based and conventional companies that want to increase competitiveness through resource management based on Islamic values. Thus, this research not only enriches the academic literature, but also becomes a practical guideline for business actors in building sustainable, competitive, and equitable businesses.

This study aims to analyze the extent to which Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (PSAK) 109 on Zakat Accounting has been implemented in the financial reporting of Amil Zakat Institutions. PSAK 109 is designed as a guideline to ensure that the management of zakat, infaq, and alms funds is carried out in an accountable, transparent, and Sharia-compliant manner. The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach, using in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation as data collection techniques, allowing for a comprehensive exploration of zakat accounting practices applied by the institution. The findings indicate that the Amil Zakat Institution has implemented most aspects of PSAK 109, particularly in the recognition, measurement, and presentation of zakat funds, which are clearly separated from non-zakat funds. This practice demonstrates a positive effort by the institution to maintain accountability and transparency in managing public funds. However, the study also reveals weaknesses in the disclosure aspect, especially in the Notes to Financial Statements (CALK), where the information provided remains limited and has not fully met the requirements of PSAK 109. Such limitations reduce the overall quality and transparency of financial reporting. The main challenges in implementing PSAK 109 include the limited number of human resources with sufficient technical knowledge of zakat accounting, the inadequacy of the existing accounting information system, and the lack of intensive technical training. These issues hinder the optimal application of PSAK 109 and may lead to inconsistent interpretations in practice. Therefore, strategic improvements are required through internal capacity building, the development of integrated accounting information systems, and continuous assistance from relevant authorities. These efforts are expected to enhance the quality of zakat financial reporting, making it more transparent, accountable, and Sharia-compliant, while also strengthening public trust in Amil Zakat Institutions as trustworthy managers of public funds.
