The Meikarta project as the "Shenzhen of Indonesia", is an ambitious initiative by the Lippo Group to develop a large property project in Cikarang, Bekasi Regency, West Java. Although it offers various modern facilities, this project faces various obstacles, including construction delays and uncertainty about the fate of consumers who have made payments. This problem is further complicated by allegations of violations of the law related to building permits (IMB) and non-compliance with the Regional Spatial Plan (RTRW), as well as bribery cases involving local government officials. This study aims to examine the legal protection provided to consumers in relation to the validity of agreements made in the Meikarta project, with a focus on the legal implications of unlawful acts and legal uncertainty due to corruption cases. This study uses a qualitative method with a normative legal approach, which examines applicable legal provisions, and an empirical approach, which examines how the law is applied in practice, as well as data collection techniques through case studies and legal literature. The results of the study indicate that there is abuse in the validity of contracts that are detrimental to consumers, as well as the negative impact of legal uncertainty caused by corrupt practices. Legal protection for consumers, including lawsuits and government intervention, is essential to prevent further losses. It is hoped that this research will contribute to the formation of better legal policies and more effective consumer protection in Indonesia.

The coefficient of determination test reveals that 93.06% of the variation in income inequality can be explained by ZIS, corruption, and education, with the remaining 6.94% attributed to other factors not included in the study. Additionally, the findings suggest that ZIS and corruption together have a notable influence on income inequality.

Many Muslim communities still consider business ethics to be unimportant in business activities, because business is nothing more than just seeking profit. This study will discuss how business ethics are in the perspective of the Qur'an. This study includes library research, namely research that examines data sourced from library materials, using the thematic interpretation method. This study is based on the interpretation of verses of the Qur'an that directly discuss business morality and verses that do not directly discuss business morality. Business in the Qur'an is both material and immaterial. Where business in the Qur'an does not only prioritize material profit but also spiritual profit. The existence of business morality cannot be separated from the business itself. The business morality of the Qur'an contains basic business values ​​such as the values ​​of unity, balance, free will, accountability, and ihsan. Then it gives birth to business morality which is free from elements of falsehood, damage and injustice such as usury, fraud, reducing the measure or fraud, corruption, bribery, gambling, gharar and hoarding and so on. Then business in the Qur'an highly prioritizes hasanah values ​​such as honesty, trustworthiness, fairness, social responsibility, istiqomah, tolerance and friendliness in business life. Thus, business ethics in the Qur'an are not only oriented towards fulfilling the needs and welfare of life in the world, but also business as a means of goodness for safety in the hereafter.
