This study explores the integration of Islamic business management principles, blue economy concepts, and innovation strategies in the shrimp farming industry of Sidoarjo, Indonesia, to enhance global competitiveness. The research adopts a qualitative approach through literature review and thematic analysis of relevant sources, aiming to formulate a sustainable business model that harmonizes ethical, environmental, and economic dimensions. Findings reveal that applying sharia-based management—including mudharabah and musyarakah contracts, halal certification, and social responsibility through zakat and waqf—creates an equitable business ecosystem. Simultaneously, blue economy practices such as biofloc technology, waste utilization, and mangrove rehabilitation strengthen environmental sustainability and operational efficiency. Additionally, technological innovation through IoT-based monitoring, digital marketing, and traceability systems significantly improves productivity and market access. The synergy of these elements positions Sidoarjo shrimp as a distinctive product with ethical value, sustainability compliance, and premium market potential. This study suggests policy support for sustainable financing, technology adoption, and certification to scale up implementation and recommends future research to quantify its economic and ecological impacts.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the murabahah bil wakalah contract within Islamic financing institutions by examining procedural compliance, documentation quality, and the effectiveness of internal monitoring. A qualitative approach was applied using in-depth interviews, structured observations, and document analysis involving purposively selected informants. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis supported by data reduction, coding processes, source triangulation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the implementation of the contract generally aligns with sharia principles, although operational challenges persist, including inconsistent documentation, varied member understanding of wakalah procedures, and limitations in monitoring practices. Verification processes and margin determination have been properly executed, yet administrative governance requires strengthening to ensure alignment between procedural guidelines and real-world practice. The study highlights the importance of increasing sharia literacy and enhancing human resource capacity to improve efficiency and compliance in implementing murabahah bil wakalah within micro-level Islamic financial institutions.

This study aims to analyze the effect of profitability, liquidity, and asset structure on the capital structure of banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2019–2023 period, with firm size as a moderating variable. The research employs a quantitative approach using secondary data obtained from financial statements. The sample was determined through a purposive sampling technique, resulting in 27 banking companies that met the criteria. Data were analyzed using multiple regression analysis and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). The results reveal that profitability has a negative and significant effect on capital structure, indicating that banks with higher profitability tend to reduce their dependence on external financing. In contrast, liquidity and asset structure do not have a significant effect on capital structure, suggesting that these factors are less influential in determining debt policy within the banking sector. Furthermore, the MRA results demonstrate that firm size moderates the relationship between profitability and capital structure, implying that larger firms can better manage internal funds to reduce leverage. However, firm size does not moderate the effects of liquidity and asset structure on capital structure. These findings contribute to understanding capital structure determinants in the Indonesian banking industry.

This study aims to examine the effect of Leverage and capital intensity on tax avoidance with independent commissioners as a moderating variable in property and real estate companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). Tax avoidance practices in this sector are considered relatively high due to the complexity of fixed asset management and financing structures. The study applies a quantitative approach with an associative method and purposive sampling, resulting in 21 companies as the final sample with a total of 105 observations during the 2020–2024 period. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) with SPSS version 25. The results show that leverage has a positive and significant effect on tax avoidance, indicating that a higher level of debt usage increases the likelihood of tax avoidance through interest expenses. Capital intensity also has a positive and significant effect on tax avoidance, as higher investment in fixed assets provides opportunities for firms to utilize depreciation expenses in reducing taxable income. The moderating test reveals that independent commissioners do not moderate the relationship between leverage and tax avoidance but significantly moderate the relationship between capital intensity and tax avoidance in a negative direction, thereby weakening the effect. These findings highlight the importance of corporate governance mechanisms through the presence of independent commissioners in mitigating tax avoidance, although their effectiveness remains limited to specific aspects. This study contributes empirically to the taxation and corporate governance literature and provides recommendations for regulators and tax authorities in strengthening tax compliance monitoring in the property sector.

This study analyzes the communication methods used by the Sharia Savings and Loan and Financing Cooperative (KSPPS) Abdi Kerta Raharja to increase a positive image through the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program in the ZISWAF division. The primary focus is on how effectively the CSR program’s messages are delivered and how they contribute to building trust and fostering good relationships with the community. A qualitative research method with a descriptive approach was employed, involving data collection through in-depth interviews, observations, and literature studies. The findings indicate that KSPPS Abdi Kerta Raharja has successfully implemented various CSR initiatives designed to empower the community and enhance welfare, which, in turn, has contributed to a positive image of the cooperative in the eyes of the public. Furthermore, the study examines how the community perceives and responds to these programs, how information is disseminated through media, and the impact on member loyalty. This research highlights the significance of communication in ensuring the effectiveness of CSR efforts and the strengthening of community ties. The results are expected to provide insights for KSPPS managers to develop improved and sustainable communication strategies that will help foster a positive image and further the success of CSR programs in the future.

The rapid development of Islamic banking in Indonesia faces significant challenges in maintaining liquidity and profitability amidst dynamic capital market conditions. The urgency of this study arises from the need to examine whether traditional financial ratios, such as the Financing to Deposit Ratio (FDR) and Return on Equity (ROE), play a decisive role in influencing investment decisions, which are proxied by the Price to Earning Ratio (PER). The main objective of this research is to empirically test the effect of liquidity and profitability, both partially and simultaneously, on investment decisions in Islamic commercial banks listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2021–2025 period. This study adopts an associative design with a quantitative approach, utilizing secondary data from financial reports obtained from the IDX, and analyzed using multiple linear regression on 68 observation samples. The findings reveal that neither liquidity nor profitability significantly influence investment decisions, either partially or simultaneously. These results suggest that investors in the Islamic banking sector tend to prioritize non-financial factors such as sharia compliance, governance, macroeconomic conditions, and ESG trends, rather than conventional financial indicators. In conclusion, this research extends the understanding of the limitations of Signaling Theory in the sharia context and recommends the development of a more holistic investment evaluation model. Future studies are encouraged to incorporate non-financial variables for a more comprehensive analysis.

The execution of Mortgage Rights (Hak Tanggungan) represents legal certainty as regulated in Law Number 4 of 1996 concerning Mortgage Rights. Execution of the collateral object can be carried out through private sale, parate execution, or based on an executorial title. This mechanism reflects good faith and trust between the creditor and debtor in a lending agreement. In line with Sharia principles, the murabahah financing contract also allows for collateral (rahn tasjily), granting the creditor the authority to execute the collateral object if the debtor defaults. This study aims to analyze the implementation of Mortgage Rights execution in Sharia financing, specifically under the murabahah contract. The method used is normative juridical research with a descriptive approach, employing statutory and case study analysis, and based on literature and relevant regulations. The results indicate that land rights can serve as collateral under Mortgage Rights in Sharia financing. This is confirmed in the Supreme Court Decision Number 179K/Pdt/2017, which serves as jurisprudential precedent for Decision Number 3/Yur/2018, where the collateral is executed through a Deed of Granting Mortgage Rights. The position of the creditor in a murabahah contract is equivalent to that in conventional financing, as confirmed in the DSN-MUI Fatwa, thus the creditor retains the right to execute even if the debtor defaults before the due date.

This study aims to analyze the risks and mitigation strategies applied to the Saqura product at BMT Bahtera KC Purwokerto. Saqura is a special sharia-based savings product intended for financing aqiqah and qurban worship with a weekly deposit system. This study used a qualitative descriptive method through observation, structured interviews, and documentation. The results showed that the main risks faced include liquidity, operational, reputation, sharia, fund distribution, and external risks. However, the risk level at the Purwokerto branch is still relatively low due to strict management and a routine monitoring system. Mitigation is carried out through the application of the 5C principle (Character, Capacity, Capital, Collateral, Condition), HR training, sharia audits, and cash management and active communication with members. In conclusion, BMT Bahtera KC Purwokerto has good growth potential with effective risk management, supporting the sustainability of the Saqura product and member trust in sharia financial services.                                                            

This study aims to examine how Islamic financing contributes to the empowerment of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), particularly in the trade sector. MSMEs play a crucial role as one of the main pillars of the national economy; however, they continue to face various challenges such as limited access to capital, inadequate managerial skills, and low levels of financial literacy. Islamic financing emerges as a solution by applying fundamental Islamic principles, including the prohibition of usury (riba), fairness, and transparency in all financial transactions.The research employs a descriptive qualitative method based on a literature review from various reliable sources. The findings reveal that Islamic financing, through contracts such as murabahah, musyarakah, mudharabah, and ijarah, not only provides access to capital but also offers mentoring and training programs to help entrepreneurs manage their businesses more professionally.The positive impact of Islamic financing can be seen in the improvement of business performance, increased turnover, and enhanced welfare among MSME actors. Furthermore, this system contributes to the stability of the Islamic banking industry and promotes sustainable national economic growth. Therefore, further development of Islamic financing is necessary to expand its reach and benefit a greater number of small and medium enterprises across Indonesia.

This study is motivated by the challenge of economic independence for Islamic boarding schools amid the transformation of their role in the modern era. Islamic boarding schools no longer function solely as traditional Islamic educational institutions, but have also developed as centers for economic and social empowerment of the community. However, dependence on uncertain external funding sources has prompted the need to develop a sustainable economic ecosystem for Islamic boarding schools in order to strengthen the independence of these institutions. This study aims to explore the development of Islamic boarding school financing management based on economic independence. This study uses a qualitative approach, with an exploratory sequential mixed methods design. The research method uses Research and Development (R&D) with the Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation (ADDIE) development model. The results of the study found that: 1) Financial management in two Islamic boarding schools has been carried out systematically through planning, funding diversification, governance, and continuous evaluation with a contextual approach. 2) The development of financial management has shifted from an administrative function to an economic independence strategy based on the integration of modern governance and Islamic boarding school values.

This study aims to analyze the effect of capital intensity, leverage, and company size on tax avoidance in property and real estate sub-sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2019–2023 period. The research method used is an associative quantitative approach with secondary data obtained from corporate financial reports. The sample was selected using purposive sampling technique, resulting in 4 companies that met the criteria. The multiple linear regression analysis shows that partially, capital intensity and leverage have a significant positive effect on tax avoidance, while company size has a significant negative effect. Simultaneously, the three variables have a significant influence on tax avoidance. This study implies that companies should consider fixed asset investment strategies, financing structure, and firm size in managing their tax obligations efficiently and legally.

This study aims to understand and analyze the diminishing partnership (musyarakah mutanaqisah) financing products in Islamic banking in Indonesia. This research is qualitative and uses a Systematic Literature Review approach by examining various journals from 2020 to 2024 on Google Scholar with the Publish or Perish software. The results indicate that the presence of the musyarakah mutanaqisah contract can be the best solution for property ownership for the community. The demand for housing is currently increasing. The implementation of Musyarakah Mutanaqisah can be a solution for the community in meeting their requirements; however, there are many aspects of the musyarakah mutanaqisah contract that must be understood to ensure that this product operates well in Indonesia. This contract also requires coordinated and comprehensive administrative support.

This study examines the influence of financial factors on the capital structure of basic chemical manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2019 to 2023. The sample selection method used is purposive sampling, with specific criteria resulting in a sample of 51 companies and a total of 255 data points. After data processing, 80 outliers were identified, reducing the final sample to 175 company data points. This research adopts a quantitative approach, utilizing multiple linear regression analysis with SPSS version 25. The findings reveal that profitability, asset structure, company size, and business risk have a significant impact on capital structure. In contrast, sales growth and dividend policy do not show a significant contribution to capital structure. Based on these findings, it is recommended that companies in the basic chemical manufacturing sector focus on improving profitability, optimizing asset structure, and managing business risks effectively to strengthen their capital structure. Additionally, company size should be considered when making financing decisions. Since sales growth and dividend policy were not significant factors, firms might prioritize internal financial management and risk control over aggressive sales expansion or dividend adjustments when aiming to optimize their capital structure. Future research could explore other potential factors or use alternative methodologies to deepen understanding in this area.

The development of Islamic banking in Indonesia has introduced the murabahah contract as one of the most dominant financing products. However, in practice, this contract often gives rise to legal disputes, particularly due to default by customers who fail to fulfill their payment obligations in accordance with the agreement. This study focuses on the Palangka Raya Religious Court Decision Number 1/Pdt.GS/2024/PA.PLK, which is noteworthy because, although the substance of the claim has a strong legal basis, it was deemed inadmissible due to a formal defect in the special power of attorney. The aim of this research is to analyze how substantive aspects related to default in murabahah contracts and procedural aspects concerning the mechanism of simplified lawsuits, as well as the validity of a special power of attorney, can affect dispute resolution.This article employs a qualitative method with a normative juridical approach, encompassing legislation, conceptual analysis, and case studies. Primary data were obtained from court decisions, while secondary data were drawn from legal regulations and literature studies. The study shows that substantively, the defendant was proven to be in default for failing to fulfill payment obligations under the murabahah contract, giving the plaintiff a strong legal basis to file a claim. However, procedurally, the lawsuit was inadmissible because the submitted special power of attorney did not meet formal requirements, rendering the plaintiff’s legal representative unauthorized to act on their behalf. The implications of these findings indicate that the success of resolving Islamic banking disputes is not solely determined by the strength of the claim’s substance, but also heavily depends on compliance with the applicable civil procedural laws. Therefore, fulfilling procedural requirements is a crucial factor in ensuring the effectiveness of dispute resolution in Islamic banking.

Islamic Financial Institutions play a vital role in strengthening the Islamic economy in Aceh, particularly through financing micro businesses. Article 14 of Qanun Aceh Number 11 of 2018 sets a target of 40% profit-sharing-based financing for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) by 2024. However, the realization of financing with profit-sharing contracts is still low. This study aims to examine the implementation of Qanun Number 11 of 2018 in facilitating micro business financing in Aceh, identify obstacles in its implementation, and analyze the roles of the government, society, and the private sector in supporting this process. The study uses an empirical juridical method, collecting data through literature studies, interviews, and observations. Data analysis is conducted qualitatively with a prescriptive analytical approach. Challenges to financing distribution include business actors not meeting credit quality assessments and prudential banking standards, causing banks to implement risk management strategies to prevent non-performing loans. Additionally, low financial literacy among business actors remains a significant barrier. The local government supports micro business financing by establishing the Technical Implementation Unit of the Integrated Business Service Office, providing financial assistance, and introducing the draft Qanun of Aceh Sharia Financing Guarantee. Bank Aceh Syariah offers training and coaching for MSMEs, while Bank Syariah Indonesia aids MSMEs through the MSME Center and the Muslim Entrepreneur program. Improving financial literacy is essential for business development. The study recommends that the Aceh Government strengthen the implementation of Qanun Sharia Financial Institutions, increase profit-sharing-based MSME financing, and promote financial literacy.

This study examines Indonesia's national interests in BRICS membership for the national economy in 2023–2024. Indonesia has officially announced its readiness to join BRICS, which emphasizes the principles of free and active participation and a multipolar orientation in the global economy. This study aims to analyze how Indonesia's involvement in economic cooperation forums for developing countries such as BRICS can influence the direction of development and national economic interests, both in terms of opportunities and risks. This study uses a qualitative-descriptive approach using literature study and interviews. The theories used are Neoliberal Institutionalism, Regional Economic Integration, and National Interest as the basis for explaining Indonesia's involvement in international cooperation. The results show that Indonesia's membership in BRICS has the potential to expand access to development financing through the New Development Bank (NDB), strengthen trade and investment with BRICS member countries, and enhance leading sectors such as the manufacturing industry and agriculture, which have shown significant export increases, especially to BRICS member countries. However, there are risks that must be anticipated, such as the dominance of large countries in BRICS, the potential for new economic dependencies, and geopolitical friction with Western countries. BRICS membership can be an opportunity for Indonesia's national development if managed carefully, selectively, and with a focus on long-term interests.
