This article discusses the impact of Islamic microfinance on the welfare of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia. The research aims to examine how sharia-based financing schemes contribute to the development and sustainability of MSMEs. This qualitative-descriptive study used literature review and documentation methods. Findings indicate that Islamic microfinance through contracts such as murabahah and mudharabah significantly enhances business productivity and financial independence of MSME actors. It also strengthens ethical business behavior and local economic growth. However, implementation challenges remain, particularly in terms of financial literacy and institutional outreach. The study recommends broader digital-based Islamic financial inclusion to reach underserved communities. These results are relevant for stakeholders interested in sustainable economic empowerment through sharia finance.

Waqf is an act of worship that has a social and economic pattern because in the development of Islamic civilisation, from the development of science to its heyday, it cannot be separated from the role of Rasullulah and his companions who continued to struggle to spread Islam throughout the world, one of which was by using the waqf method because the waqf property or object is often used as a centre for the development of science and Islam in ancient times, for example the construction of mosque buildings and financing wars. Because waqf is an act of worship that is highly recommended for every Muslim. In addition, waqf worship is also explained in the Koran that people who endow their assets for the benefit of the ummah who have benefits, the rewards will continue to flow even though the person has died, which makes people flock to carry out waqf worship. However, it is not uncommon for there to be a lot of abuse committed by nazirs, starting from their unprofessional attitude because nazirs are often used as additional income for them to hoard wealth. So it is very important to find a nadzhir as a zakat manager who has a trustworthy nature because actually this waqf must continue to be developed to be more productive and useful, therefore the Indonesian government continues to make efforts to revise the rules regarding nazir because there are still many irregularities committed largely due to weak administrative sanctions and criminal sanctions for them.

Islamic financial management is a crucial element in sustaining the growth of the Islamic banking industry in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze how Islamic financial management practices are carried out in national banking by referring to the regulations set by OJK, Bank Indonesia, and DSN-MUI. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach, this study examines policy documents, regulatory frameworks, and operational practices of Islamic financial institutions. The results of the study show that the implementation of Islamic financial management has adopted Islamic principles through the structure of fund raising, financing distribution, and risk and compliance governance. However, implementation in the field still faces various obstacles, both from the internal side such as limited human resources and gaps in understanding of regulations, as well as from the external side in the form of accelerated digitalization, weak coordination between authorities, and legal uncertainty. This research emphasizes the need to strengthen the capacity of industry players, adaptive regulatory updates, and institutional synergy so that the Islamic financial system can grow sustainably and in line with sharia principles.

PT Bank Syariah's use of mudharabah concepts in Islamic accounting is examined in this paper. An agreement for profit sharing between the fund manager (mudharib) and the fund owner (shahibul maal) is known as mudharabah. The purpose of this research is to investigate how well mudharabah concepts align with the National Sharia Council's Fatwa and PSAK No. 105. The results show that PT Bank Syariah has applied mudharabah accounting principles in accordance with PSAK 105 in measuring, recognizing, presenting, and disclosing mudharabah financing transactions. However, the implementation of mudharabah pillars and conditions has not fully complied with the Fatwa of the National Sharia Council. Transaction recording uses the completion date method and cash recognition. Mudharabah investments are presented at their carrying value. Nevertheless, the portion of mudharabah financing is still smaller compared to murabahah contracts. This study concludes that PT Bank Syariah needs to improve the conformity of mudharabah principles with the Fatwa of the National Sharia Council.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of sanctions against wealthy customers who delay payments in the perspective of DSN-MUI Fatwa No. 17/DSN-MUI/IX/2000. The study was conducted at PT. BPRS Alwashliyah Gunung Krakatau Medan with a normative and empirical legal approach. The results of the study indicate that the application of sanctions against customers who delay payments is an effort by banks to maintain the smoothness of the financing system. The application of the DSN-MUI fatwa provides a legal basis for Islamic banks in imposing sanctions on wealthy customers who neglect to fulfill their obligations. This fatwa also strengthens the position of banks in the Indonesian civil law system.

Financing in Indonesia, especially banks, is very important, especially for business actors, this is a natural thing considering that banks have a strategic role in national development in order to realize a just and prosperous Indonesian society. Regulations regarding Sharia financing are regulated in Law No. 10 of 1945 and Article 1 number 2 of Law No. 10 of 1998 concerning amendments to Law No. 7 of 1992 concerning Sharia Banking (hereinafter referred to as the banking law) defines a bank as a business entity that collects funds from the community in the form of deposits and distributes them back to the community in the form of credit and/or in the form of claims in order to improve the standard of living of the people, but there is an inconsistency in the regulation in terms of guarantees. This legal provision continues until the implementation of the Sharia Banking Law, because there are no legal regulations governing sharia guarantees, therefore in terms of sharia banking practices, the guarantee procedures used by conventional banking are still applied, namely fiduciary guarantees and mortgage rights.

The rapid growth of financial technology (fintech) has significantly transformed the funding landscape for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), offering innovative financial solutions beyond traditional banking institutions. This study presents a bibliometric analysis of fintech’s role in SME financing, identifying emerging trends and research gaps. Utilizing bibliographic coupling and co-occurrence network analysis, data from Scopus were analyzed to uncover the intellectual structure and evolution of research in this field. The results highlight key themes, including the integration of blockchain, peer-to-peer lending, financial inclusion, and crowdfunding in SME financing. A particular focus on Islamic finance and Islamic crowdfunding indicates a growing interest in alternative financing mechanisms that align with Sharia principles. Additionally, the study reveals an increasing academic focus on fintech adoption in developing economies, particularly in Indonesia and Nigeria, where access to capital remains a critical challenge. The findings underscore fintech’s role in democratizing financial access for SMEs, bridging funding gaps, and fostering economic growth. Future research should investigate regulatory frameworks, risk management strategies, and technological adoption models to optimize the impact of fintech on sustainability in SME financing.

This research was conducted to analyze the factors that influence the problematic financing of murabaha contract products at Islamic commercial banks in 2017-2021 with research samples of Islamic commercial banks in Islamic banking statistics published by the Financial Services Authority (OJK) and analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results of the analysis obtained a significant negative effect of murabahah financing and interest rates on problematic financing of murabahah contract products. Meanwhile, capital adequacy has a negative but not significant effect on financing problematic murabahah contract products at Islamic commercial banks in Indonesia from 2017 to 2021. So that additional capital is carried out by banks, it does not allow for a decrease in problematic financing of murabahah contract products at Islamic commercial banks.

Sharia cooperatives are Sharia-based economic institutions that play a strategic role in empowering the economy of the Muslim community. By adhering to principles such as the prohibition of riba (usury), gharar (uncertainty), and maysir (gambling), as well as implementing profit-sharing systems (mudharabah or musharakah), Sharia cooperatives provide a fair, transparent, and inclusive alternative to support economic activities in society. These cooperatives aim not only to achieve financial gains but also to fulfill social missions, such as poverty alleviation, equitable welfare distribution, and holistic improvement of the community’s quality of life. Various products and services offered—such as Sharia savings, halal financing, and Sharia-compliant investments—provide financial solutions that align with Islamic values and meet societal needs. Nevertheless, the implementation of Sharia cooperatives faces several challenges, including limited public understanding, competition with conventional financial institutions, and constraints in human resources and capital. Through public education, capacity building for cooperative managers, and comprehensive government policy support, Sharia cooperatives hold great potential to become a key instrument in fostering a more just, equitable, and sustainable economy. This study emphasizes the importance of integrating Sharia values into cooperative management to ensure its contribution to the sustained welfare of the community.
