This scientific article comprehensively investigates the fundamental principles of Fiqh Muamalah governing Islamic economic transactions, focusing on three primary areas: sale (bay'), debt-financing (dayn), and leasing (ijarah). This research aims to analyze the Sharia conceptual framework underlying each contract, including its pillars, conditions, and legal implications, as well as to identify crucial prohibitions such as gharar (ambiguity), riba (interest/unlawful increment), and maysir (speculation). Furthermore, this article explores the relevance and challenges of applying these principles within the dynamic context of the modern economy, characterized by financial innovation, digital technology, and globalization. Through an in-depth literature study and a comparative analysis of classical and contemporary scholars' interpretations, this research examines how ethical Islamic principles such as justice ('adl), mutual consent (taradhi), and public interest (maslahah) can be integrated into current business practices. Selected case studies on e-commerce transactions, digital lending platforms, and technology-based leasing models are analyzed to illustrate the challenges and potential solutions in applying Fiqh Muamalah. This article concludes by offering a perspective on the importance of contextual reinterpretation and the innovation of Islamic financial products to ensure the relevance of Fiqh Muamalah in addressing global economic challenges while upholding Islamic values.

This study aims to analyze market sentiment towards Gold Financing Products (PKE) in Islamic banking before and after the Trump Effect phenomenon using the text mining method. This technique involves extracting information from unstructured text data to then be visualized and analyzed using the Natural Language Processing (NLP) approach and a RoBERTa-based classification model. Data was collected through web scraping from the X application with the help of API and processed using Google Colab. From a total of 4,074 tweets analyzed, it was found that the majority of public sentiment was neutral (59%), followed by negative (24%) and positive (17%). This reflects the public's tendency to discuss informatively rather than emotionally, although there was a spike in negative sentiment in certain periods indicating sensitivity to global dynamics, especially the impact of the Trump Effect on gold prices. The resulting wordcloud reveals key topics such as gold prices, buying and selling activities, and institutions such as Pegadaian Syariah and BSI. Terms such as "sharia", "riba", and "principles" emphasize the importance of Islamic financial values ​​in public perception. The results of this study indicate that text mining-based sentiment analysis is effective in capturing the dynamics of public opinion in real-time and can be a strategic tool for Islamic financial institutions in responding to market changes.

Village infrastructure is an important foundation for local economic development and improving the welfare of the community in the area. However, the obstacles often encountered include ineffective budget planning, lack of community participation, and weak supervision in budget implementation. Nevertheless, there is potential for improvement through the implementation of an integrated village financial information system and active community involvement in the village development planning deliberation process (Musrenbangdes). This study employs a qualitative approach, utilizing primary data obtained through interviews and secondary data from journal sources and previous research. The results of this study indicate that village infrastructure development through the APBDes begins with the participatory preparation of the RKP, involving RT, RW, and BPD. Funding comes from the APBDes, PAD, and community self-help. The focus of development has now shifted to community empowerment, especially women, through skills training. APBDes management faces challenges in meeting sudden needs and relies on deliberation for solutions. Transparency is maintained through budget publication, and project implementation considers environmental aspects. Evaluations are conducted by the Inspectorate and District Office, while the community also monitors and critiques implementation. Regarding the food security program, there will be a shift in management to BUMDes starting in 2025, pending new regulations. The APBDes covers revenue, expenditures, and financing, with village deliberations as the highest forum for approval. Village funds are considered insufficient, so assistance from the Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD) also plays an important role.

Credit Union (CU) Mandiri is one of the cooperative-based microfinance institutions that plays an important role in improving the economic welfare of the community in Pematang Siantar. This study aims to analyze the contribution of CU Mandiri in empowering its members through savings and loan programs, financial literacy training, and micro-business development. The method used in this study is a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collection techniques through interviews, observations, and documentation studies. The results of the study show that CU Mandiri not only provides affordable financing access for low-income communities, but also increases the awareness and ability of its members to manage their finances independently. Through cooperative principles such as solidarity and active participation of members, CU Mandiri has succeeded in creating an environment that supports local economic growth. However, challenges such as low financial literacy and limited capital are still obstacles that need to be addressed systematically.

This study aims to analyze the impact of Mekar Bank loans on the economic well-being of clients and the implementation of sustainable economic principles in financing. The method used is a qualitative approach with case studies conducted in several regions of Indonesia, particularly in the researcher's village, Blimbing, Kesambi, Besuki, Situbondo, where the program is implemented. The results of this study show that Mekar Bank loans have provided easier access to financing aligned with sustainable economic principles, contributing to increased income and improved living standards, especially among women. However, the study also identifies several challenges in the program's implementation, including a lack of client understanding regarding sustainable economic principles and effective financial management. To enhance the program's effectiveness, additional education on sustainable principles and financial management is necessary. Thus, Mekar Bank loans serve not only as a financing tool but also as a means of economic empowerment. These loans also encourage clients to adopt more sustainable business practices, such as the use of sustainable business capital. Therefore, Mekar Bank loans help promote economic growth while also fostering sustainable economic development, ensuring that the positive impacts of these loans continue and extend to more segments of society.   

The purpose of this study is to analyze the legal status of fiduciary collateral objects designated as state-confiscated assets that have been auctioned, and to examine the resolution of the state's rights in confiscating and auctioning fiduciary collateral objects in relation to the rights of financing companies as fiduciary creditors whose claims remain unsettled. This study employs a normative juridical research method using statutory, case, and conceptual approaches. The results show that fiduciary collateral objects confiscated and auctioned by the state do not automatically nullify the creditor’s rights, as the principle of droit de suite entitles creditors to claim the object or the proceeds from its sale. Regulatory ambiguity creates legal uncertainty and discourages fiduciary-based financing practices. From a justice perspective, the state must not arbitrarily execute assets without considering the legitimate rights of creditors. Resolution of the conflict between the rights of the state and creditors must be carried out proportionally through criminal, civil, or non-litigation avenues, in order to establish a balance between law enforcement and creditor protection, thereby maintaining stability in the financing sector.

Financial innovation plays a crucial role in increasing people's access to economic services, especially in the ever-evolving digital era. Through various forms of innovation such as digital financial services, fintech, mobile banking, and electronic payment systems, people, including those in remote areas—have made it easier to reach banking, investment, and financing services. These innovations help overcome various conventional barriers, such as limited physical infrastructure, high transaction costs, and the unaffordability of formal financial services. In addition, the presence of financial technology also expands financial inclusion by providing products and services that are more flexible, cheap, and easily accessible through mobile devices. This not only encourages local economic growth, but also empowers micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) to develop their businesses. However, challenges remain, such as the need for financial literacy, consumer data protection, and adequate regulatory oversight. Therefore, synergy between the government, financial institutions, technology providers, and the community is important to ensure that financial innovation can be utilized optimally and sustainably in promoting inclusive economic prosperity. Financial innovation is not just a technological advancement, but a strategic solution towards economic justice.

This research discusses the application of musyarakah contracts as a sharia financing solution for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in the midst of digital economic development. MSMEs have a crucial role in sustaining the Indonesian economy, but still experience difficulties in accessing fair and sustainable financing. The musyarakah agreement, with its partnership and profit-sharing principles, is considered to be in line with the character of MSMEs that prioritize cooperation and justice. Through a qualitative approach based on a literature study, this research explores the potential, regulatory challenges, and strategies to strengthen the implementation of digital musyarakah. The results of the analysis show that digitalization offers great opportunities in promoting Islamic financial inclusion, but is still constrained by low digital literacy, limited infrastructure, and weak supervision of sharia principles. Therefore, a strategy is needed that includes improving education, developing Islamic financial technology, and collaboration between regulators, financial service providers, and MSME players. This study concludes that the successful implementation of digital musyarakah requires an integrated approach so that MSMEs are able to access Islamic financing independently, fairly and sustainably.

This study aims to analyze the influence of working capital management, leverage, and institutional ownership on the profitability of consumer goods companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2019–2023 period, while also examining company size as a moderating variable. The consumer goods sector, which has a large market potential in Indonesia, makes it essential to understand how these financial aspects affect company performance. Working capital management plays a crucial role in maintaining liquidity and operational efficiency, leverage determines the extent to which companies rely on debt financing, and institutional ownership reflects external monitoring that can drive managerial discipline. Company size is considered a moderating factor that could strengthen or weaken these relationships, especially in influencing profitability levels. Using a quantitative approach, the research findings reveal that each of the main variables—working capital management, leverage, and institutional ownership—partially and significantly affects profitability. More specifically, company size is found to moderate the effect of leverage on profitability, indicating that larger firms may be better positioned to optimize debt usage compared to smaller firms. This study not only provides empirical evidence regarding financial determinants of profitability but also enriches the discussion on how moderating factors such as firm size can influence the dynamics of corporate financial performance. The findings are expected to provide valuable insights for stakeholders, including managers seeking to optimize financial policies, investors evaluating company performance, and academics or researchers interested in exploring further implications for corporate governance and financial strategy in emerging markets like Indonesia. In conclusion, the study highlights the importance of managing financial variables strategically to sustain profitability in the highly competitive consumer goods industry.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of murabahah financing agreements and the role of internal control systems on the decision-making process for providing murabahah financing at Bank BJB Syariah KCP Lippo Cikarang. The study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation to relevant informants in the bank environment. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of murabahah agreements is carried out by considering sharia principles and internal bank provisions, while the internal control system plays an important role in ensuring compliance with regulations, preventing financing risks, and supporting healthy and sustainable financing decisions. These findings provide an illustration that the integration between the implementation of correct murabahah agreements and an effective internal control system can improve the quality of the financing process and reduce the risks faced by banks.

The lontar leaf stitching home industry is a micro-enterprise that produces various types of crafts made from lontar leaves, commonly used in traditional and religious ceremonies. This industry plays a significant role in the local economy and cultural preservation. The objectives of this study are: (1) to analyze the simultaneous effect of capital, raw materials, working hours, and business duration on the income of lontar leaf stitching home industries in Sibetan Village, Karangasem Regency; and (2) to analyze the partial effect of capital, raw materials, working hours, and business duration on the income of these industries. The population of the study consists of all 50 lontar leaf stitching home industries in Sibetan Village. A saturated sampling technique was used, meaning the entire population was taken as the sample. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis with the assistance of SPSS version 26. The results show that capital, raw materials, working hours, and business duration simultaneously have a significant effect on income, accounting for 96.8 percent of the variance. Partially, each of these variables also has a positive and significant effect on income. It is recommended that artisans manage their capital efficiently—including utilizing financing from village credit institutions (LPDs)—select quality raw materials, optimize working hours, and leverage business experience through support from village-owned enterprises (BUMDes) to expand marketing and increase income.

In order to improve the development of Islamic businesses, business actors are advised to improve their understanding of sharia principles, develop innovative products that meet market needs, and implement ethical marketing strategies. The government needs to take supportive policies, such as issuing regulations that facilitate the development of Islamic businesses, providing education and training programs for business actors, and facilitating access to financing through financial institutions that offer Islamic products. For future research, it is recommended to conduct case studies on successful sharia business actors, analyze the impact of government policies on the growth of this industry, and conduct comparisons with other countries that have more advanced sharia industries to gain insights and best practices that can be applied.

This study aims to evaluate the long-run and short-run relationship between the Islamic capital market and Islamic banking on Indonesia's economic growth over the period 2013-2023. Using a quantitative approach and the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) method, this study analyzes the dynamics between these variables. The data used includes the Indonesian Sharia Stock Index (ISSI), Islamic bonds, Islamic banking third-party funds (DPK), non-performing financing (NPF), and real gross domestic product (GDP) as an indicator of economic growth. The analysis shows that in the long run, both the Islamic capital market and Islamic banking contribute significantly to economic growth. However, in the short term, only a few variables show a significant effect. These findings confirm the strategic role of the Islamic financial sector in supporting sustainable economic growth, as well as the importance of strengthening and developing Islamic instruments to support national economic stability and progress.

Online loan-based financing services are increasingly attracting public interest because of the simplicity and rapidity of the procedure. However, in practice there are often violations of consumer rights, especially in the collection process by debt collectors who use violence and misuse personal information. This research seeks to assess the legal safeguards provided to consumers who use the Rupiah Plus application against such practices. By using a juridical-normative approach by examining applicable laws, regulations, and relevant case studies, this research reveals that although legal protection exists in a normative sense, its enforcement remains inadequate. Protective measures may be taken both preventively and repressively, while conflict resolution can be approached through judicial proceedings or alternative non-litigation methods.

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of murabahah financing distribution on net profit growth at Bank BJB Syariah Lippo Cikarang Branch Office (KCP). The method used in this study is a descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews with internal bank parties, direct observation, and documentation of financial reports and murabahah financing data from previous years. The results of the study indicate that murabahah financing distribution at Bank BJB Syariah KCP Lippo Cikarang has a significant contribution to increasing net profit, especially because of the characteristics of murabahah which provides a fixed profit margin for the bank. However, financing effectiveness is also influenced by external factors such as macroeconomic conditions, people's purchasing power, and the bank's ability to analyze financing risks. Overall, the strategy of murabahah financing distribution that is right on target and good risk management has been proven to be able to increase bank profitability. This study is expected to be a reference for management in improving the quality of financing distribution and financial management based on sharia principles.

The Jakarta-Bandung High Speed Rail (KCJB) project is one of the strategic infrastructure initiatives resulting from the output of cooperation between Indonesia and China following the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) policy. Although the project is promising in improving transportation efficiency, reducing carbon emissions, and the potential for regional economic growth, its implementation is inseparable from various challenges, one of which is geopolitics. This research aims to find out the geopolitical dynamics that arise due to China's incentives in financing and mastering KCJB technology, and also examine Indonesia's position in the midst of regional conflicts, one of which is the South China Sea dispute. The method in this research is qualitative based on literature study. This research reveals that the KCJB project is not just technical cooperation, but reflects a struggle for strategic influence. Indonesia's dependence on financing and technology from China creates potential asymmetry in bilateral relations and risks to sovereignty. The findings are expected to enrich the discourse on foreign policy and national infrastructure in the face of increasingly complex regional or global challenges.

This study aims to explore the extent to which the application of accounting in the musyarakah contract affects the success of micro-business financing. The research was conducted at one of the Islamic Rural Financing Banks (BPRS) in Palembang. A qualitative approach was used to gain a deep understanding of the role of accounting in the implementation of the musyarakah contract, with a focus on the processes of recording, reporting, and financial supervision of micro-financing. The results indicate that the proper application of accounting in the musyarakah contract significantly contributes to the success of the financing. This is reflected in increased transparency, accountability, and the ability of micro-businesses to manage finances more effectively. The study recommends that BPRS intensify accounting support and education for customers to maximize the benefits of musyarakah financing.

Digital transformation has become a major force in driving innovation in the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) sector in Indonesia. This research examines the role of technology platforms as a key driver in facing challenges and capitalizing on opportunities in the digital economy era. Through a descriptive qualitative approach, this study analyzes how MSMEs adopt digital platforms such as e-commerce, digital payments, and cloud-based technology to improve operational efficiency, expand market reach, and drive sustainable business growth. The results show that the utilization of technology platforms not only accelerates innovation in products and services, but also increases the competitiveness of MSMEs in the global market. However, technology adoption still faces obstacles such as limited digital literacy, infrastructure, and access to financing. Therefore, support from various parties, including the government, private sector, and educational institutions, is needed to create an inclusive and sustainable digital ecosystem for MSMEs in Indonesia.

This study aims to analyze the competitive advantage strategy of Islamic Banks using the Porter's Five Forces approach, which is used to understand the competitive position of Islamic Banks in facing the dynamics of the financial industry that continues to grow. This study includes qualitative research methods with the approach of Field research and Library research, which are supported by interviews or observations as the main data collection techniques. The results of the study indicate that the Threat of New Entrants BSI Karang Kobar is aware of the threat of new entrants and faces internal challenges, especially in the marketing aspect which is still low. Customer strength is shown through the influence of satisfaction with products and employee behavior on loyalty, especially on flagship products such as KPR, gold installments, and micro financing. Supplier strength shows that there is a great opportunity for suppliers to establish partnerships with Islamic financial institutions. The threat of substitute products has not been found directly, but digital transformation to the Byond By BSI platform is a concern. In industrial competition, BSI Karang Kobar admits that it still faces challenges, such as limited economies of scale compared to conventional banks. Thus, the application of sharia principles in the formulation of business strategies allows Islamic banks to build customer loyalty and create sustainable competitive advantages. Porter's Five Forces approach has proven to be relevant and effective in helping Islamic banks formulate adaptive and valuable strategies in facing competition in the modern financial industry.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play an important role in the Indonesian economy as labor absorbers and drivers of the local economy. However, this sector often faces various challenges such as limited access to financing, infrastructure, and policy support. This study aims to analyze the role of fiscal policy in encouraging the growth of MSMEs in Indonesia. The methods used are literature studies and secondary data analysis from various official sources, including government reports and national statistical data. The results of the study indicate that fiscal policy instruments such as tax incentives, subsidies, and state spending for MSME empowerment programs have a positive impact on increasing MSME productivity and competitiveness. However, the effectiveness of these policies is highly dependent on targeted implementation and synergy between related institutions. Therefore, a more inclusive, transparent, and adaptive fiscal policy formulation is needed to encourage sustainable economic growth
