Social loans are an important tool for developing local economies, especially in remote areas such as rural areas. The Indonesian Village City Savings and Loan Cooperative (KSU) is one of the business entities that provides loan capital to its members. The purpose of this study is to determine the mechanism of social loan agreements in the Multipurpose Cooperative (KSU) of the Indonesian Village City and to determine the perspective of Islamic Economic Law on loan agreements in the Multipurpose Cooperative (KSU) of the Indonesian Village City. This research method uses a descriptive research type with a qualitative approach. Data collection was carried out through observation and interviews with the Management and members of the Savings and Loan Cooperative (KSU) of the Indonesian City Village. The results of the study show that first, the loan application procedure involves several steps such as becoming a member, filling out forms, completing documents and the approval stage. The maximum loan provision is 80% of the savings balance with a loan tenor of 12 months and 18 months. The payment system is made in installments through salary deductions and is subject to a 5% interest. For borrowing members who are late, there are no sanctions or fines but there is a time dispensation. Second, the loan application and management mechanism at the Multipurpose Cooperative has met sharia principles through transparent and structured governance, such as deductions from salary installments and a guarantee policy provided in the form of the amount of member savings balances. However, social loans at the Multipurpose Cooperative contain an element of benefit (profit) of 5%, which according to some scholars can be classified as usury because of the addition of value to the principal loan, even though the benefit is returned to members through the Business Result Remainder (SHU).

The UPZ plays a role in identifying mustahik, managing funds transparently, and distributing them through community-based productive programs. The UPZ, guided by BAZNAS, holds a strategic role in reinforcing the zakat management system at the village level and has the potential to become an effective instrument for community economic empowerment.

Penelitian ini menganalisis efektivitas implementasi Kurikulum Berbasis Konteks Minoritas dalam pembentukan karakter siswa, khususnya toleransi, tanggung jawab sosial, dan kemandirian, di Madrasah Aliyah (MA) Kalifa Nusantara, sebuah institusi Islam yang beroperasi di tengah mayoritas Hindu Bali. Masalah utamanya adalah kebutuhan lembaga minoritas menyeimbangkan penanaman nilai-nilai keagamaan dengan adaptasi kultural untuk menciptakan individu yang kokoh identitasnya namun partisipatif. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain studi kasus tunggal (single case study) di MA Kalifa Nusantara, dengan pengumpulan data melalui triangulasi sumber. Hasil utama menunjukkan Kurikulum Berbasis Konteks Minoritas berhasil mengintegrasikan filosofi Islam dengan kearifan lokal Bali (Tri Hita Karana dan menyama braya) melalui kurikulum formal, kokurikuler, dan budaya sekolah. Implementasi ini sukses mentransformasi toleransi pasif menjadi toleransi aktif dan partisipatif. Hal ini dibuktikan dengan peningkatan pemahaman kognitif siswa terhadap budaya mayoritas dan partisipasi aktif dalam kegiatan komunitas non-agama (Pengabdian Kontekstual). Kurikulum Berbasis Konteks Minoritas juga efektif menumbuhkan tanggung jawab sosial dan kemandirian yang selaras dengan prinsip Tri Kon Ki Hajar Dewantara. Simpulannya, model "integrasi kontekstual minoritas-sentris" ini merupakan strategi kurikulum yang sangat efektif. Model ini memperkuat karakter adaptif siswa tanpa melemahkan identitas religius mereka dan menghasilkan agen toleransi aktif. Implikasi penelitian ini menyarankan Kurikulum Berbasis Konteks Minoritas MA Kalifa Nusantara dapat dijadikan model percontohan (blueprint) bagi lembaga minoritas lain di Indonesia untuk mendorong partisipasi aktif dalam komunitas lokal.
