This study explores the role and relevance of Islamic political economy within the context of Indonesia's economic system, particularly in addressing wealth distribution inequality and the fulfillment of basic societal needs. The study employs a qualitative approach with descriptive-analytical methods to examine the relationship between Islamic economic principles such as justice, balance, and social responsibility and national economic policies. The findings reveal a philosophical alignment between Islamic economic values and Indonesia’s foundational principles, especially Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution. However, the implementation of these principles remains limited, often confined to microeconomic aspects like Islamic financial institutions. Islamic political parties play a significant role in advocating for sharia-compliant economic policies but face challenges in reconciling Islamic values with a pluralistic democratic system. The study highlights the need for broader public education, strong political commitment, and digital innovation to fully realize the potential of Islamic economics in building a just, inclusive, and sustainable national economy.

Islam entered Malaysia through trade, especially by Arab, Indian and Chinese traders since the 7th century, but wider spread occurred in the 13th century through the Kingdoms of Samudera Pasai and Melaka. The Islamization process became stronger with the role of the Malay kingdoms in making Islam the official religion, establishing a sharia-based government system, and introducing Jawi writing as the main medium in education and administration.The development of Islamic education in Malaysia began with the Islamic boarding school and madrasa system which emphasized traditional religious teachings. In the colonial era, Islamic education underwent changes with the establishment of folk religious schools and modern madrasas which combined religious and academic curricula. After independence, the Malaysian government introduced a more formal Islamic education system through national religious schools, tahfiz institutions, and Islamic universities. This development was strengthened by the introduction of JAKIM, the Malaysian Ministry of Education, as well as an educational foundation that supports the integration of Islamic values ​​in the national education system. Today, Islamic education in Malaysia continues to develop through technology and innovation, ensuring it is relevant in the modern world while preserving Islamic scientific traditions.

The economic ideas of the great Islamic jurist Abu Ishaq al-Syatibi are discussed in this article. Syatibi is most known for his formulation of the maqashid al-syari'ah, or goals of Islamic law.  Using primary and secondary sources found in library databases, the study takes a descriptive-analytical approach to history.  The results show that when it comes to fiscal measures like taxes, government expenditure, and minimum wage legislation, al-Syatibi stresses that maslahah (public interest) should be the primary aim of economic policy.  Efficient, fair, and sharia-compliant economic policies that take into account society's main, secondary, and supplementary requirements are essential, says al-Syatibi.  Even if it differs from more contemporary need theories like Maslow's hierarchy of requirements, al-Syatibi's maqashid al-syari'ah succeeds in meeting fundamental human needs by highlighting the role of religion.  Contributing significantly to the growth of Islamic economics, al-Syatibi's ideas highlight a middle ground between material and spiritual well-being.

This research aims to examine the impact of thrifting on the economic condition of clothing traders in Pasar Lasoani, to identify the factors that make thrifting a threat to these traders, to find solutions that traders can implement in facing competition with thrifted products, and to understand the Islamic economic perspective on thrifting practices in Pasar Lasoani. This study uses a qualitative research method, which is intended to describe and explain events or phenomena occurring in the field and to present data systematically, factually, and accurately regarding the facts or phenomena observed. The data for this study were obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation. The thrifting phenomenon has had a significant impact on the economy of clothing traders in Pasar Lasoani. On the positive side, this trend has increased income for traders who sell thrifted items due to their affordable prices and attractive variety. However, on the negative side, thrifting reduces the competitiveness of new and local clothing traders, thereby creating economic imbalances in the market. The increase in secondhand clothing imports is also perceived as a threat to the demand for new products, especially due to the strong interest of young consumers in branded clothes at low prices. To improve competitiveness, new clothing traders need to implement strategies such as price adjustments, product quality improvement, utilization of digital marketing, and consumer education on the advantages of new clothing. From an Islamic economic perspective, the practice of thrifting is permissible as long as it fulfills the pillars and legal conditions of buying and selling, namely clarity of the product, mutual agreement on price, and absence of excessive gharar (uncertainty). According to the school of Imam Malik, this practice is valid if the existing gharar is minor, unavoidable, and conducted with honesty, fairness, and transparency. Therefore, thrifting transactions in Pasar Lasoani can be considered in line with the principles of sharia.

The digitalization of the sharia economy in Indonesia presents a great opportunity to expand financial inclusion, accelerate the transaction process, and improve the efficiency of the economic system based on Islamic values. This study aims to examine the dynamics of opportunities and challenges for the digitalization of the sharia economy amidst the development of the digital economy. Using a qualitative descriptive approach and thematic analysis techniques, this study reveals that innovations such as sharia fintech, halal e-commerce, and sharia digital banking have significantly driven the progress of the sharia economy.

This study discusses the implementation of Murabahah contracts in pension financing products at Islamic Banks in Indonesia. This study aims to examine the procedures, mechanisms, characteristics, and obstacles faced in the implementation of Murabahah contracts in pension financing. The research method uses a literature approach and field observation to obtain data and information related to the financing process. The results of the study indicate that the pension financing procedure based on the Murabahah contract has been running in accordance with sharia principles and applicable regulations, starting from submission, document verification, feasibility assessment, to disbursement of funds through the wakalah mechanism. The characteristics of pension financing emphasize the certainty of payment through direct autodebit from pension funds. However, there are several obstacles such as limited customer understanding, regulations that are not yet specific, and the complexity of administrative procedures. This study recommends increasing sharia literacy and strengthening regulations to support the development of sustainable sharia pension financing.

Social and economic inequality in Indonesia is a multidimensional challenge that is not only reflected in the gap in income and wealth, but also in unequal access to education, health, and economic opportunities. The conventional economic system is considered ineffective in overcoming the problem of fair distribution of wealth, thus widening the gap between the rich and the poor. This article aims to analyze the concept of distributive justice in Islamic economics as a solution to social inequality in Indonesia, by highlighting the synergy of zakat, waqf, sharia financing instruments, and the role of government and society. The method used is a systematic literature review with a qualitative-narrative approach to various related academic works. The results of the study show that the application of the principle of distributive justice in Islamic economics through the optimization of zakat, waqf, and alms, as well as strengthening sharia economic regulations and literacy, can reduce social inequality and improve community welfare. The implementation of an inclusive and sustainable Islamic distribution model can reduce the Gini coefficient and strengthen social solidarity, although it still faces challenges in terms of regulation, literacy, and institutional coordination. The conclusion of the study confirms that Islamic economics offers concrete and holistic solutions to overcome social inequality in Indonesia through the integration of divine values, community participation, and state policies that support distributive justice.

Risk control mechanisms in murabahah and mudharabah financing are implemented to anticipate potential risks arising from the customer's position. The objective is to uphold sharia principles while ensuring that the mitigation efforts by Sharia Rural Financing Banks (BPRS) provide advantages for both the bank and the wider community, particularly the customers. This qualitative case study investigates BPRS Madina in Yogyakarta. The findings reveal that BPRS Madina adopts several approaches to mitigate risks in murabahah and mudharabah financing. First, it verifies the completeness of financing documents using available data sources. Second, it checks for any history of problematic financing by the customer. Third, when necessary, the bank conducts restructuring to minimize risk. Additionally, BPRS Madina carries out risk control measures based on DSN MUI Fatwa No. 04/DSN-MUI/IV/2000 on Murabahah Financing and No. 07/DSN-MUI/IV/2000 on Mudharabah. While Islamic financial institutions do not inherently require guarantees in financing, they are permitted to request collateral to prevent losses. This collateral is not intended to ensure full compliance with the contract terms but rather to safeguard the return of the capital provided. Lastly, the risk management strategies employed by BPRS Madina for murabahah and mudharabah financing are deemed effective, as less than 1% of customers currently encounter issues, and operational risks remain well-managed.    

This study aims to analyze the implementation of PSAK 105 related to the calculation of mudharabah profit sharing at Bank BJB Syariah KCP Lippo Cikarang. The research method used is qualitative with a descriptive approach, where data is collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The analysis is carried out by comparing the practice of calculating mudharabah profit sharing at the bank with the provisions stipulated in PSAK 105, which includes aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of mudharabah transactions. The results of the study indicate that in general Bank BJB Syariah KCP Lippo Cikarang has implemented the principles of PSAK 105 in calculating mudharabah profit sharing, but there are still several obstacles such as employee understanding of sharia accounting standards, optimization of information technology systems, and internal socialization regarding standard updates. These findings emphasize the importance of improving human resource competency and strengthening the supervision system so that the implementation of PSAK 105 can run optimally and support transparency and accountability of sharia bank financial reports.

This study examines the economic thought of Abu Ubaid al-Qasim bin Sallam as presented in his seminal work Kitab al-Amwal, with a particular focus on public finance within the framework of Islamic economics. Abu Ubaid emphasized the importance of distributive justice and the balance between individual rights, society, and the state in managing public wealth. He outlined various fiscal instruments such as zakat, kharaj, jizyah, fa’i, ‘usyur, and khumus as sources of state revenue that must be administered in accordance with sharia principles. In addition, his views on agrarian policies (such as iqtha’, ihya al-mawat, and hima) and the function of money demonstrate a strong relevance to a just and sustainable modern economic system. This research employs a qualitative approach using literature review as its primary method. The findings reveal that Abu Ubaid’s economic concepts are not only contextually relevant to the Abbasid era but also remain applicable in addressing contemporary challenges in public finance and wealth distribution, particularly in strengthening zakat governance in Indonesia.  

In Aceh, the provision of guidance is regulated in Articles 5 and 6 of Gubenur Regulation Number 139 of 2016, which states that the main task and function of the Civil Service Police Unit and Wilayatul Hisbah Aceh is the guidance function. Article 1 point 14 of Qanun Number 7 Year 2013 on Jinayat Procedure Law states that the function of Wilayatul Hisbah (WH) is to socialise, supervise, enforce, and foster the implementation of Islamic Sharia. Therefore, there is a problem of interpreting the authority of coaching carried out by Satpol PP and WH of Lhokseumawe City. This study aims to determine the legal basis for the coaching of suspected jarimah violators by Satpol PP and WH of Lhokseumawe City and the legal consequences of coaching suspected jarimah violators without going through the judicial process carried out by Satpol PP and WH of Lhokseumawe City. The research method used is empirical juridical. Data sources are obtained through interviews with respondents and informants. The results of this study indicate that the coaching carried out by Satpol PP and WH of Lhokseumawe city against suspected jarimah violators does not have a clear legal basis. The coaching carried out is only based on a statement signed by the alleged jarimah violator during the investigation and the legal consequences of coaching against jarimah offenders by Satpol PP and WH of Lhoseumawe City without going through the judicial process is carried out without a legal basis which results in serious legal consequences such as the coaching is not legally valid (can be cancelled), violates human rights, and can be sued civilly or criminally prosecuted and reduces public confidence in Sharia law.

The increasing needs of life encourage people to seek funds from various sources, including those that are not in accordance with sharia principles such as interest and loan shark practices. In facing this challenge, Baitul Maal wat Tamwil (BMT) emerged as a sharia-based microfinance alternative that rejects the element of usury and emphasizes justice and blessings. The purpose of this study is to examine the application of sharia principles in financing activities at BMT, as well as analyze the challenges and opportunities for development, especially in Padangsidimpuan City. The method used in this research is a descriptive qualitative approach by conducting literature studies and case studies at BMT Insani. The findings of the research show that BMT has implemented sharia contracts such as murabahah and mudharabah in its financing activities. However, there are still some obstacles such as competition from conventional financial institutions, limited human resources, and low financial literacy among the community. Nevertheless, BMTs have significant opportunities to grow through increased education, product innovation, and strengthening of institutional structures.

Islamic economics emerged as an alternative system based on Islamic principles to overcome inequality and social injustice in the conventional economic system. This article aims to examine the role of Islamic economics in achieving social justice through four main pillars: digitization of Islamic finance, empowerment of Sharia-based MSMEs, strengthening Islamic microfinance institutions, and optimizing ZISWAF (zakat, infaq, sadaqah, and waqf). This study uses a qualitative method with a literature review approach using national and international journals published since 2021. The results of the study show that Islamic economics has great potential in building a fair, inclusive, and sustainable economic system if supported by technological innovation, integrative policies, and improving public literacy. This research emphasizes the need for synergy between the government, Islamic financial institutions, business actors, and the community to strengthen the role of the Islamic economy in national development. In addition, it is necessary to strengthen regulations and cross-sector collaboration so that the implementation of the Islamic economy can run optimally in various lines of life. With sustained support, Islamic economics is believed to be able to be a solution to complex modern economic challenges.

This paper explores the potential of integrating Sharia-compliant financial technology (fintech) innovations with sukuk issuance to drive sustainable infrastructure development in emerging economies. With the rise of digital transformation and the increasing focus on sustainable development, the Islamic financial system provides a unique opportunity to reconcile financial innovation with ethical principles. The study highlights how Sharia fintech platforms, such as crowdfunding and blockchain, can enhance the efficiency, transparency, and accessibility of sukuk as a financial instrument. At the same time, sukuk addresses the significant financing gap in infrastructure development while adhering to Islamic principles, such as avoiding riba (interest), gharar (uncertainty), and maysir (speculation). Through a comprehensive literature review and empirical analysis, this research identifies the gaps in existing approaches to financing sustainable infrastructure in emerging economies and proposes a novel integration framework. Findings suggest that the convergence of Sharia fintech and sukuk can facilitate financial inclusion, attract a broader investor base, and accelerate infrastructure financing. Furthermore, this integration supports the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by ensuring that financial tools align with social justice and environmental stewardship. This study contributes to the growing body of knowledge on Islamic finance by providing actionable insights for policymakers, financial institutions, and fintech developers. It emphasizes the importance of regulatory frameworks and cross-sector collaboration to unlock the full potential of Sharia-complian

This study aims to analyze the digital marketing strategies implemented by clothing stores in the Telang area from a sharia economic perspective. In the digital era, business actors are required to adapt to technology, including in terms of promotion and marketing. The approach used in this study is descriptive qualitative, with data collection through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study show that most business actors have utilized social media such as WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook Marketplace to market their products. The strategies implemented are mostly in line with the principles of sharia economics such as honesty (ṣidq), openness (tabligh), and amanah. However, some practices that are not in accordance with sharia are still found, such as the use of photos that do not match the original product (gharar) and excessive promotion (tadlis). The main inhibiting factors in the implementation of sharia digital strategies are limited digital literacy and infrastructure. Therefore, ongoing assistance and training in sharia-based digital marketing are needed to improve understanding and business practices in accordance with Islamic values.

This study examines interfaith marriage and its impact on family economic rights from the perspectives of Islamic law and positive law in Indonesia, with a case focus on Sumedang Regency. Employing a qualitative phenomenological approach, the research involved semi-structured interviews with both traditional and modern Islamic scholars, along with an analysis of religious texts and statutory regulations. The findings reveal that the majority of scholars reject interfaith marriage based on Sharia principles and Article 2(1) of Law No. 1 of 1974 on Marriage. Nevertheless, some couples pursue such unions through administrative religious conversion or overseas ceremonies to obtain legal recognition. These practices often result in legal ambiguity regarding economic rights within the family—such as inheritance, joint property, and financial support—and may lead to familial disputes. Additional social consequences include identity confusion among children, community stigma, and potential conflicts within extended families. The study underscores the strategic role of institutions like Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) and the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA) in providing legal education and advocates the need for a responsive civil registration mechanism that acknowledges interfaith marriages while respecting Islamic legal principles. A contextual approach is proposed to bridge the tension between religious norms, legal certainty, and the protection of family economic rights.
