This study analyzes the comparison of peer-to-peer (P2P) lending contract law in the perspective of positive law and Islamic law. Major problems in the industry include the risk of default, contract defects, and a lack of transparency. The research method used is literature research. The results show that positive laws provide a framework for consumer protection, but are often inadequate in protecting vulnerable parties. On the other hand, Islamic law emphasizes justice and the prohibition of usury, although the practice in the field is not yet fully appropriate. The study recommends collaboration between regulators and service providers to create a fair and law-abiding system. This is expected to contribute to the development of P2P lending policies and practices that are more sustainable and in accordance with sharia principles.

Dormant status on a bank account is a condition in which an account is declared inactive because there have been no transactions for a certain period of time, so that it is automatically frozen by the bank. In Indonesian banking practices, changes in account status to dormant are often carried out based on the bank's internal policy without any clear notification to customers. This raises legal issues, especially related to the protection of customer rights to their funds, transparency of information, and access to financial services. The purpose of this study is to examine the extent to which the State provides legal protection that will be received by customers against the policy of automatically changing account status to dormant, as well as to evaluate the regulations in the Indonesian banking legal system. This study uses a normative legal approach, namely an approach that is based on literature studies by examining positive law, legal doctrine, and relevant literature. The approaches used include the statute approach and the conceptual approach. The results of the study indicate that legal protection for customers with dormant account status is still weak because there are no specific regulations that explicitly regulate this matter. The applicable legal regulations are still inclusive or general and do not sufficiently guarantee legal certainty and justice for customers. Therefore, special regulations are needed from the Financial Services Authority (OJK) and Bank Indonesia that establish transparent mechanisms, easy procedures, and balanced protection of customer rights. It is hoped that strengthening these regulations can increase public trust in the banking system and guarantee justice and legal certainty.

This article comprehensively discusses the concept of zakat and waqf from the perspective of Islamic law, as well as its regulations and implementation in Indonesia. Zakat as a religious obligation has the function of purifying property and life, while waqf is a form of almsgiving which aims to provide sustainable benefits for society. In the context of national regulations, zakat is regulated in Law Number 23 of 2011, while waqf is regulated through Law Number 41 of 2004 and various implementing regulations. Zakat management is carried out by the National Zakat Amil Agency (BAZNAS) and the Zakat Amil Institute (LAZ), while waqf is managed by officially registered nazhir. This article highlights the importance of transparency, accountability and professionalism in the management of zakat and waqf funds, as well as the urgency of building synergy between the two to support sustainable social and economic development programs. Optimizing zakat and waqf as instruments for community empowerment requires strengthening institutional capacity, supporting adaptive regulations, as well as increasing literacy and community participation.

Village financial management is one of the key indicators in realizing effective village governance. However, in many villages, including Sidoan Timur Village, Sidoan District, Parigi Moutong Regency, Central Sulawesi, the practice of financial transparency and accountability still faces various obstacles. This study aims to assess the application of the principles of transparency and accountability in the financial management of Sidoan Timur Village, Sidoan District, Parigi Moutong Regency, Central Sulawesi, by referring to the perspective of village governance. The approach used is a qualitative method through case studies. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and review of official village documentation. Data analysis was carried out with the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and inductive conclusion drawing. The research findings reveal that village financial management has not fully implemented the principle of transparency, because financial information is not routinely published and administrative accountability is still formal, without active involvement from the community. In addition, the implementation of financial governance regulations has not been consistent at the operational level. In conclusion, the practice of transparency and accountability in Sidoan Timur Village needs to be strengthened by increasing the capacity of village officials, optimizing public information media, and empowering community participation. Further research is suggested to examine the comparison between several villages with a quantitative approach in order to obtain a broader picture of village financial management from a governance perspective.

This scientific paper examines various types of contracts and products in Islamic banking based on the principles of Islamic law. Islamic banks have a mission not only as financial intermediary institutions, but also as drivers of the values ​​of social justice, transparency, and blessings.

The aim of this study is to examine the philosophical and practical differences between conventional and Islamic financial reports. Laporan keuangan konvensional disusun berdasarkan prinsip-prinsip ekonomi kapitalis, dengan orientasi pada laba dan kepentingan pemegang saham.

Memahami perbedaan ini sangatlah penting untuk mempromosikan praktik pelaporan keuangan yang tidak hanya berorientasi pada keuntungan, tetapi juga menjunjung tinggi nilai-nilai etika dan keberlanjutan.

This paper examines the violation of the Islamic business ethics principle of amanah (trustworthiness) through a case study of financial statement manipulation by PT Garuda Indonesia in 2018. The company recorded unrealized revenue of USD 239 million as profit, while in fact it was operating at a loss.

Using a qualitative approach and case study method, this paper analyzes documents from the Financial Services Authority (OJK), the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI), and Islamic business ethics literature. The findings reveal that this manipulation caused public distrust, administrative sanctions, and reputational damage. This paper recommends implementing Shariah-based corporate governance, ethical auditing aligned with Islamic principles, and strengthening ethical literacy in the business world. Therefore, justice and accountability in business can be upheld in accordance with Islamic teachings.
