This study aims to analyze the influence of digital marketing on customer loyalty at the Uban Muslim Clothing Store MSME in Cianjur in the context of e-commerce development. The increasingly rapid digital transformation requires MSMEs to adapt to technology-based marketing strategies to be able to compete and retain consumers. This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey technique on 20 adult respondents, both men and women, who have interacted with the store. The research instrument in the form of a questionnaire distributed through Google Forms, measuring two main variables: digital marketing (as an independent variable) and customer loyalty (as a dependent variable). The analysis technique used is simple linear regression. The results of the analysis show that there is a positive influence of digital marketing on customer loyalty, as indicated in the regression equation Y = 3.5226 + 0.582XY = 3.5226 + 0.582XY = 3.5226 + 0.582X. The regression coefficient of 0.582 indicates that every one unit increase in digital marketing activity can significantly increase customer loyalty. Meanwhile, the intercept value of 3.5226 indicates that customer loyalty remains high even without digital activities, indicating a strong foundation of loyalty from non-digital factors. This finding has important implications: digital marketing is not just a promotional tool, but a key strategy for building long-term customer engagement. This study recommends that MSMEs optimize digital content, online interactions, and data-driven communication systems to maintain and enhance customer loyalty in the digital marketing era.

This study aims to analyze the influence of the General Allocation Fund (DAU), the Special Allocation Fund (DAK), and the Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) on the poverty rate in North Sumatra Province. The method used is multiple linear regression analysis using secondary data from 2004 to 2023. The results show that the DAU has a negative and significant effect on the poverty rate, meaning that the greater the DAU allocation, the lower the poverty rate in the province. Conversely, the DAK has a positive and significant effect on the poverty rate, indicating that an increase in DAK is actually followed by an increase in the poverty rate. Meanwhile, GRDP shows a negative effect on the poverty rate, but the effect is not significant. The coefficient of determination obtained shows that the DAU, DAK, and GRDP are able to explain variations in the poverty rate in North Sumatra Province. Simultaneously, the test results show that all three variables have a significant effect on the poverty rate. These findings suggest the importance of proper management of fund allocation and optimization of regional economic sectors to reduce poverty effectively.

This study aims to understand the meaning of halal lifestyle for Generation Z Muslim consumers in East Java through a phenomenological approach. In recent years, the concept of halal lifestyle is no longer limited to food and beverage consumption, but has expanded to include fashion, skincare, digital services, and even social media interactions. Generation Z, as digital natives, interprets halal not only as a religious rule, but also as an identity, a social trend, and a form of self-actualization. This study integrates the results of previous empirical studies that show that halal awareness, religious education, marketing strategies, and the influence of public figures play a significant role in shaping halal behavior among the younger generation. The results of the literature review indicate that Generation Z in East Java experiences complex dynamics in adopting a halal lifestyle, ranging from identity dilemmas, ethical challenges, to the influence of local culture. This phenomenological study confirms that halal lifestyle is a multidimensional phenomenon influenced by spiritual values, consumption rationality, and digital interactions. These findings are expected to provide a conceptual contribution to the study of Muslim consumer behavior and form the basis for developing a halal industry that is more adaptive to the characteristics of the younger generation..

The development of modern business has given rise to various marketing models, one of which is Multi-Level Marketing (MLM). However, in practice, many parties misuse this system into a pyramid scheme, a business model that prioritizes profits from recruiting new members rather than from actual product sales. This phenomenon causes harm to society and raises moral as well as religious concerns in Islamic law. This study aims to analyze the recruitment strategies and compensation patterns used in pyramid schemes disguised as MLM, examine them from the perspective of Islamic economics, and provide a comparison with Multi-Level Marketing systems that operate in accordance with Islamic principles. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method with a literature study approach by reviewing various sources such as books, scientific journals, and relevant academic documents. The results indicate that the recruitment system and compensation pattern in pyramid schemes contain elements of gharar, tadlis, dharar, and zhulm, all of which contradict Islamic economic principles. Therefore, the public is advised to be more cautious in choosing MLM businesses, as such models are permissible in Islam only if they focus on selling lawful (halal) products, are conducted honestly and transparently, and provide fair benefits for all parties involved.

This study aims to explore how gold price volatility influences customers’ investment decisions in Islamic banks within the framework of Islamic values. Employing a qualitative phenomenological approach, the research investigates the perceptions, motivations, and strategies of twelve active customers of Bank Syariah Indonesia in Surabaya through in-depth interviews. The findings reveal that gold price volatility does not necessarily reduce investment interest; instead, it stimulates adaptive and reflective behavior grounded in religious commitment and Islamic financial literacy. Investment decisions are shaped by three main factors: rational risk perception, religious conviction in the permissibility of gold as an Islamic instrument, and trust in the integrity of Islamic financial institutions. Thus, gold price volatility is interpreted not only as an economic signal but also as a social and spiritual phenomenon that fosters financial maturity among investors. The study concludes that faith-driven investment behavior contributes to financial resilience and moral stability amid market uncertainty. These insights enrich the field of Islamic behavioral finance by highlighting the integration of economic rationality and spiritual values in investment decision-making.

The phenomenon of increasing female activity in cafes shows a shift in lifestyle that is not merely consumptive, but also reflective and social. Cafes have now become leisure spaces where women express themselves, build relationships, and find emotional balance. This study aims to examine the trend of women utilizing cafes as a practice of social welfare in the era of sustainability. The approach used is descriptive qualitative based on secondary sources, with data in the form of news articles, lifestyle writings, and online media coverage of women's leisure behavior in Cirebon. This analysis was conducted to explore the social and spiritual values that emerge in these activities. The results of the study show that cafes serve as safe spaces for women to interact, share ideas, and restore mental energy. These activities reflect maqashid values such as Hifz al-nafs (preserving the soul) and Hifz al-'aql (preserving the mind), while contributing to the spirit of sustainability through the strengthening of gender equality and social welfare. The novelty of this research lies in its attempt to interpret women's leisure trends through the paradigm of social welfare, rather than simply as a modern lifestyle. These findings have important implications for the creation of a more inclusive, safe, and sustainable public space, while also opening up a new perspective that leisure activities can be part of achieving maqashid al-syari'ah in contemporary social life.

This study aims to examine the implementation of Qardhul Hasan in Islamic Microfinance Institutions (Baitul Maal wat Tamwil – BMT) in Indonesia through the perspective of qard and ‘Ariyah contracts. The research applies a qualitative descriptive approach using a library research method. Data were collected from scholarly articles, books, and Islamic finance regulations, then analyzed to assess the alignment between fiqh al-mu‘āmalah principles and real-world practices. The findings reveal that qardhul hasan plays a vital role in community empowerment and in promoting Islamic financial inclusion. However, its implementation still faces several obstacles, including high non-performing financing rates, limited social funds, weak sharia supervision standards, and low literacy in fiqh mu‘āmalah among BMT managers. On the other hand, there are significant opportunities for development through digital transformation, human resource capacity building, optimization of social funds (ZISWAF), and the strengthening of regulations based on maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah. This study proposes an integrative model combining qard and ‘ariyah contracts as an alternative approach to enhance the social function of BMTs while maintaining financial sustainability.

The development of digital technology has led to significant changes in economic behavior, including among Muslim communities in Tegal Gubug. Economic activities that were once centered in traditional markets have now begun to shift to digital platforms such as marketplaces and social media. This study aims to examine the shift in the economic behavior of the Muslim community from direct interactions in Tegal Gubug Traditional Market to digital-based interactions in buying and selling transactions. The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach, with data collected through interviews and observations of Muslim traders and consumers who have transitioned to using digital platforms. The findings reveal that the main factors driving this shift are ease of access, time efficiency, and the expansion of marketing networks. However, the study also identifies challenges such as reduced direct social interaction among economic actors and a lack of understanding regarding the application of Islamic business ethics in the digital space. This research emphasizes the importance of internalizing Islamic values such as honesty, justice, and responsibility in every digital economic activity to ensure alignment with sharia principles.

This study aims to explain how the implementation of a Financial Management Information System (MISK) can improve decision-making capabilities in Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). In the digital era, MSMEs are required to manage their finances quickly, accurately, and in an integrated manner to compete in a dynamic market. The SIMK offers a solution to simplify the process of recording, analyzing, and reporting financial information in real time, enabling business decisions to be based on valid data. Analysis of various studies shows that the implementation of a MISK can improve operational efficiency, financial reporting transparency, and the quality of managerial decisions. However, its effectiveness is greatly influenced by financial literacy, digital readiness, and the ability of human resources to operate the system. Many MSMEs still have not fully utilized technology due to limited capital and accounting knowledge. With training and government policy support, the implementation of a MISK is expected to strengthen the competitiveness of MSMEs, increase productivity, and achieve professional financial governance.

This study investigates the implementation of the food security program and the establishment of independent economic pillars in Patempuran Village, Kalisat, Jember, by focusing on the central role of the Patempuran Sejahtera Village-Owned Enterprise (BUMDes). Using a qualitative approach with a case study design, this study explores the strategies, achievements, and challenges of program implementation in integrating two of the village's main agricultural potentials: soybean cultivation and livestock. The core finding is the formation of an Integrative Management Model in which the BUMDes acts as the primary institutional driver, synergizing the soybean and livestock sectors. The BUMDes successfully fulfills its dual function: as an economic institution (generating a net profit of approximately IDR 9 million from 1.8 hectares of soybean cultivation) and as a social institution empowering the community through job creation and additional income. This success is closely linked to the high level of active community participation, in line with Stakeholder Theory in strengthening legitimacy and a sense of shared ownership. However, implementation faces significant challenges, including irrigation constraints in hilly areas, livestock health risks, and a manual financial recording system (based on a simple Excel spreadsheet), which limits managerial capacity and full accountability. This study recommends immediate modernization of the accounting system, strategic investment in irrigation infrastructure, and strengthening intensive technical assistance to ensure long-term sustainability and equitable partner productivity.

The research method used was quantitative, with a survey approach. A questionnaire was distributed to 117 respondents who were active users of J&T Express services. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression with the help of SPSS version 26 software. The results showed that brand image had a positive and significant effect on the decision to use services, with a significance value of 0.015 (<0.05).

Digitalization has become a key factor driving global economic transformation, including the development of the Islamic economy in Indonesia. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the opportunities, challenges, and strategies for advancing the Islamic economy in the digital era through a literature-based research method. Information was gathered by reviewing documents, articles, and relevant literature related to the digitalization of the Islamic economy, including analyses of Sharia-compliant fintech, halal e-commerce, and digital Islamic banking.The findings indicate that digitalization offers numerous opportunities to enhance service efficiency, expand access to Islamic financial services, strengthen the capacity of MSMEs, and accelerate the growth of the halal industry. However, the digital transformation process also presents several challenges, such as low levels of digital and Islamic financial literacy, potential data breaches, the spread of misinformation, regulatory inefficiencies, and legal uncertainties associated with emerging technologies such as Sharia-compliant blockchain. In addition, digital inequality and ethical issues must be addressed to ensure alignment with the principles of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah.This study highlights the importance of implementing a comprehensive Sharia-based development strategy through regulatory strengthening, education on digital ethics, enhanced supervisory functions, and collaboration between the government, academia, industry players, and society. With the right approach, digitalization can become a significant tool in building an Islamic economic ecosystem that is just, inclusive, and sustainable.

Based on observation data, it can be seen that science learning in elementary schools still does not improve student learning outcomes. This is because the learning is still teacher-centered or learning that is centered on the teacher (the teacher is active while the students are passive) and the use of learning media is still lacking. This can cause the impression of boring learning and can result in low student motivation which has an impact on student learning outcomes in learning. Therefore, a study was conducted on the use of role-playing tools in improving science learning outcomes about the motion of objects and energy. The purpose of this study was to improve science learning outcomes about the motion of objects and energy by using teaching aids. This study used classroom action research (CAR). The research subjects were grade III students of SD Negeri 06 Dobo, Aru Islands Regency, Maluku. The results of the study showed that the use of role-playing tools can increase (1) student activity in learning, (2) increase teacher activity, (3) Improve student learning outcomes in science learning about the motion of objects and energy. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the use of teaching aids can improve student learning outcomes in science learning about the motion of objects and energy. Suggestions that can be given in this study are that student learning outcomes can be improved through other learning methods and media.

The transformation of history learning in the context of 21st-century education aims to prepare students to face the challenges of an increasingly complex and dynamic world. The concept of 21st-century learning emphasizes the development of critical, collaborative, and creative skills, which are highly relevant to studying history. History learning in the 21st century must include a more interactive approach, utilizing technology as a tool to deliver historical material in a more engaging and relevant manner. Through innovative models such as project-based learning and inquiry learning, students can be more actively involved in the learning process, not only receiving information but also developing the ability to analyze, evaluate, and draw conclusions from various historical sources. Technology supports the creation of more engaging learning experiences, such as the use of multimedia, simulations, and other digital resources. Furthermore, teachers play a role as facilitators, helping students build historical awareness, guiding them in seeking information, and developing critical thinking skills. However, the implementation of this learning model faces various challenges, such as limited technological infrastructure and a lack of teacher training. Therefore, efforts are needed to strengthen teacher competencies and adapt the curriculum to be more adaptive to changing times.
