Murabaha financing is one of the leading products at PT. BPRS Mitra Mentari Sejahtera Ponorogo, especially for consumptive and productive financing. Therefore, the application of risk management and mitigation is very important to minimize financing risks. This study aims to determine how risk management and mitigation are applied to murabaha financing at BPRS. The method used is descriptive qualitative with field research and data collection techniques in the form of interviews and documentation. The results of this study indicate that risk management has been implemented at PT. BPRS Mitra Mentari Sejahtera Ponorogo, emphasizing the stages of identifying and measuring risk through 5C+1S analysis (character, capacity, capital, condition of economy, collateral, and sharia), although it only focuses on the aspects of capacity and collateral as well as BI checking. The risk mitigation process is also carried out through insurance and the use of collateral, especially gold pawn. Although it has a positive impact, its implementation is not yet optimal, as indicated by the high level of problematic financing and an increase in NPF.

This community service program aims to enhance Islamic-based investment literacy among the young community of Madiun City. The low level of Islamic financial literacy in Indonesia, which only reached 9.14% (OJK, 2022), indicates the need for educational and practical efforts to increase youth understanding of Sharia-compliant investment principles. The program was implemented through structured Islamic investment literacy training consisting of theoretical sessions, case studies, interactive discussions, and practical simulations. A total of 24 participants, comprising students and young community members, took part in the activity. The pre-test results showed an average score of 44.25, which increased to 78.04 in the post-test, indicating a 33.79% improvement. In addition to cognitive gains, participants also demonstrated positive changes in their attitudes toward ethical and halal investing. This program effectively improved participants’ understanding, skills, and awareness of Islamic investment and contributed to strengthening Islamic financial inclusion at the local level. It is expected that the young generation will become agents of change who promote ethical, responsible, and sustainable financial practices.

This study aims to analyze the digital marketing strategies implemented by Islamic fintech platforms to enhance their competitiveness in the Islamic financial sector. The research is motivated by the rapid development of financial technology, which has significantly influenced consumer behavior and reshaped financial institutions’ business models, including those operating under Islamic principles. Despite this growth, Islamic fintech faces challenges in strengthening its brand image, user trust, and customer loyalty amidst the dominance of conventional fintech players. The study adopts a qualitative descriptive approach using case studies of selected Islamic fintech platforms such as Ammana, Ethis, and Investree Syariah. Data were collected through documentation, online interviews, and analysis of financial reports and official websites. The data were analyzed using the SWOT framework to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of current digital marketing strategies. The findings indicate that the use of social media, collaboration with Muslim influencers, and educational content about halal finance serve as key strategies for expanding market reach and building user trust. Consistent and Sharia-compliant digital marketing efforts have proven effective in enhancing brand awareness, customer loyalty, and Islamic financial inclusion. The implications of this research suggest that digital marketing is not merely a promotional tool but a strategic instrument to strengthen competitiveness and expand the global presence of Islamic fintech. With supportive regulations and improved digital literacy, Islamic fintech has the potential to become a driving force in transforming the Islamic financial ecosystem in the digital era.

This study analyzes the mechanism of money creation in Islamic financial institutions by highlighting its relationship to the principle of prudence and the intermediation function. The research background is based on the growth of Indonesia's sharia capital market which by 2025 will reach a capitalization of IDR 5,060 trillion, but still faces conceptual challenges regarding how money is created according to the principles of maqashid al-shariah. The method used is Systematic Literature Review (SLR) with PRISMA guidance on 38 relevant scientific articles. The results of the study show that money creation in the sharia system only occurs through real asset-based economic activities, in contrast to the conventional system that relies on credit and interest expansion. The intermediation function is carried out through partnerships that prioritize proportional sharing of risk and profit, while the prudential principle ensures that monetary expansion remains under control. In addition, research has found that sharia contracts such as murabahah, mudarabah, and musharakah play a role in encouraging productive money circulation while suppressing speculative activities. This study concludes that the integration between the moral and economic dimensions forms a just, stable, and sustainable Islamic monetary paradigm. These findings make a conceptual contribution to strengthening Islamic financial policy in Indonesia, especially in formulating a monetary regulatory framework that is in line with the principles of distributive justice, transparency, and protection of the stability of the national financial system.

Halal tourism has continued to grow as a highly attractive segment for Muslim travelers, particularly in the provision of Sharia-compliant accommodation such as Islamic hotels. This study aims to examine consumer perceptions of halal food-and-beverage facilities and Sharia-based operational standards in Islamic hotels across the Greater Jakarta area (Jabodetabek). A descriptive quantitative approach was employed, involving 150 respondents who had stayed in Sharia hotels. Data were collected through closed-ended Likert-scale questionnaires and analyzed using the Weighted Mean Score (WMS) technique to evaluate respondents’ assessments of each indicator. The results indicate that consumer perception of halal food-and-beverage facilities falls into the very high category, with average scores exceeding 4.838. Consumers acknowledged that Sharia hotels maintain halal assurance, hygiene, and food safety through proper processing and the availability of halal certification. Regarding operational aspects, consumer perception is also classified as very good, with an average score of 4.606, particularly for policies prohibiting unmarried couples from sharing a room and banning entertainment deemed inappropriate or immoral. However, the use of Sharia-compliant financial institutions still requires improvement. Overall, the findings affirm that Sharia hotels in Jabodetabek have successfully implemented most Sharia principles, although further enhancement of internal operational practices is needed to achieve more comprehensive Sharia compliance.

The digital era has significantly impacted various sectors of life, including the development of the Islamic economy. Young people, as the majority of digital technology users, hold a strategic role in accelerating the growth and advancement of Islamic economics. This study aims to analyze the role of youth in driving the transformation of Islamic economics in the digital era, particularly through technological financial innovations (Islamic fintech), Islamic economic literacy, and the utilization of social media as a medium for education and halal product promotion. This research employs a qualitative method with a literature review approach, examining relevant references from journals, books, and recent digital sources. The findings reveal that youth are not only consumers but also innovators, entrepreneurs, and change agents in advancing the Islamic economy. Their involvement in Sharia-based start-ups, halal e-commerce, and the digitalization of zakat, infaq, sadaqah, and waqf (ZISWAF) provides concrete evidence of their contribution. In conclusion, youth serve as the key driver in the acceleration of digital-based Islamic economics, provided that their roles are supported by improved literacy, adequate regulations, and an inclusive digital ecosystem.

This study analyzes the implementation of the murabahah contract in resolving Non-Performing Financing (NPF) for micro-enterprises through collateral auction at the Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI) Ahmad Yani Branch Office, Area Bandung Raya. The primary objective is to analyze the conformity of the auction process with comprehensive Sharia principles (fiqih muamalah), particularly focusing on the final stage of debt resolution. Employing a qualitative-descriptive method, data was gathered through literature review and direct interviews with personnel from the bank's collection and recovery department. The findings indicate that the NPF resolution procedure is conducted systematically and ethically, beginning with warnings, mediation, and intensive restructuring efforts, such as rescheduling and reconditioning, in line with the spirit of ta'awun and Fatwa DSN MUI No. 48/2005. The auction is only performed as a final, likuidatif resort when the customer is non-cooperative or entirely unable to pay after all 3R attempts have failed. Crucially, the process generally aligns with positive regulations and Sharia provisions, including the transparent process of Muzayyadah through KPKNL. Key aspects of Sharia compliance include the bank's commitment to returning any surplus funds from the collateral sale directly to the customer, thereby avoiding ghulul (fraudulent gain), and the provision of the option to waive the remaining debt for customers deemed genuinely unable to fulfill their obligations, in line with Fatwa DSN MUI No 47/DSN-MUI/II/2005. This research provides practical insights for Islamic financial institutions on balancing effectiveness in debt resolution with the imperative of comprehensive Sharia compliance and ethical transactional justice.

This material provides an in-depth overview of the fundamental distinctions between Islamic banks and conventional banks, covering their underlying principles, contract types, operational mechanisms, legal frameworks, and organizational structures. Islamic banks operate based on Islamic values derived from the Qur’an, Hadith, and the rulings of the National Sharia Council (DSN-MUI), emphasizing strict prohibitions on riba, gharar, and maysir. Contracts such as wadiah, mudharabah, musyarakah, murabahah, ijarah, salam, and istishna’ are applied to promote fairness and profit-sharing. In contrast, conventional banks rely on positive law and interest-based systems as their primary source of income. Legally, Islamic banks are supervised by the Sharia Supervisory Board (DPS) to ensure compliance with sharia principles, while conventional banks adhere solely to general financial regulations set by authorities like the Financial Services Authority (OJK) and Bank Indonesia. The operations of Islamic banks include fund mobilization, financing, and financial services without the use of interest, whereas conventional banks earn revenue from the interest spread between deposits and loans. Although both bank types share a similar organizational structure, Islamic banks incorporate an additional layer of sharia oversight. Overall, Islamic banks aim to balance profitability with ethical and spiritual values (falah), while conventional banks primarily focus on maximizing financial returns. This material highlights Islamic banking as an ethical alternative within modern financial practices, promoting justice, sustainability, and broader economic well-being.

This study examines in depth the concepts of maysir, gharar, and riba as three practices that are prohibited in sharia economics because they are considered to cause injustice and imbalance in economic activities. Through an analysis of the postulates of the Qur'an and Hadith, this study confirms that the prohibition of maysir is based on the element of excessive speculation that harms one of the parties, gharar is rejected because it contains ambiguity in the object and contract, while riba is prohibited because it creates an unequal addition in financial transactions. In addition, the study highlights how other religions and various modern economic systems have paid attention to the principles that are in line with the prohibition of these three concepts, especially related to business ethics, social justice, and economic risk mitigation. A cross-faith perspective shows that universal values such as honesty, transparency, and balance are essential foundations for building a sustainable economic order. By combining normative perspectives and cross-tradition comparisons, this study seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of the dangers of maysir, gharar, and usury, as well as the implications of the implementation of their prohibition in modern economic life. The results of the study are expected to be a reference in formulating economic practices that are fair, stable, and able to be widely applied in various communities.

The global economy is increasingly marked by volatility, uncertainty, and disruption, compelling organizations to adopt business agility as a means of survival and competitiveness. Conventional agility emphasizes speed, responsiveness, and innovation, yet often lacks the ethical foundation required for long-term sustainability. In contrast, Islamic economic thought, guided by Maqasid al-Shariah—the preservation of religion, life, intellect, lineage, and wealth—prioritizes justice, fairness, and social responsibility in economic activities. This study analyzes how the principles of Maqasid can be aligned with business agility to form an ethically grounded and adaptive business model. Employing a qualitative research design with a library research approach, the study synthesizes insights from existing literature on agility, Islamic economics, and Maqasid through thematic content analysis. The findings indicate that while agility strengthens resilience and competitiveness, it requires Maqasid as a moral compass to ensure value-driven adaptability. The integration of agility and Maqasid creates a synergy that enables Islamic enterprises not only to withstand global turbulence but also to differentiate themselves as ethical, sustainable, and competitive actors in the global market. This research therefore proposes a Shariah-compliant agility model that balances responsiveness with ethical accountability, offering theoretical contributions to academic discourse and practical implications for Islamic financial institutions, halal industries, and Shariah-based SMEs. The study also highlights the role of policymakers in developing supportive frameworks that foster innovation while safeguarding Shariah compliance. Overall, the study underscores that agility guided by Maqasid is not merely a survival strategy but a pathway to global leadership in ethical and sustainable business practices.

This study analyzes the mechanism of money creation in Islamic financial institutions by examining its relationship with prudential principles and financial intermediation. The research is motivated by the growth of Indonesia’s Islamic capital market, which reached a capitalization of IDR 5,060 trillion in 2025, yet conceptual challenges remain regarding money creation in line with maqashid al-shariah. The study employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) using the PRISMA framework, reviewing 38 relevant academic articles. Findings indicate that money creation in Islamic finance occurs only through real-asset-based activities, differing from the conventional system that relies on credit expansion and interest. Intermediation functions are carried out through partnerships emphasizing fair risk and profit sharing, while the prudential principle ensures controlled monetary expansion. The study concludes that the integration of moral and economic dimensions establishes a fair, stable, and sustainable Islamic monetary paradigm and contributes conceptually to strengthening Islamic financial policy in Indonesia.

The halal cosmetics industry in Indonesia has grown rapidly in recent years in line with the increasing awareness of Muslim consumers regarding product safety, cleanliness, and compliance with Islamic law. However, this industry still faces several challenges, particularly related to the availability of halal-certified raw materials, production process standardization, and coordination among key stakeholders. This study aims to analyze the synergy between the government, business actors, and halal certification institutions in the development of the halal cosmetics cluster in Indonesia. Using a qualitative approach and case study design, this research draws on literature analysis and applies the concepts of halal industry clusters and the triple helix model. The results indicate that collaboration among cosmetic manufacturers, government institutions, and certification bodies such as BPOM and LPPOM-MUI has strengthened consumer trust and legal assurance regarding halal products. Nevertheless, barriers remain, including limited knowledge among producers about halal standards and uneven support infrastructures across regions. Therefore, strengthening policy integration, capacity building for industry players, and institutional support is necessary to enhance the competitiveness and sustainability of the halal cosmetics industry in accordance with the principles of Maqashid Sharia.

This study aims to reflect on the Islamic business ethics values contained in QS Al-Jumu’ah verses 9–10 and their relevance in fraud prevention from the perspective of Sharia accounting. Fraudulent actions in business, such as falsifying financial reports and arranging transactions, are very dangerous issues because they undermine the economic system as a whole. This study uses a literature research method with a thematic interpretation (tafsir maudhu’i) approach to understand the meaning of Surah Al-Jumu’ah verses 9 to 10, as well as analyze scholarly works related to Sharia accounting and Islamic business ethics. The results of the study indicate that these verses provide ethical guidance that balances the obligation to worship with economic activities, so that every business transaction must be based on principles of honesty, transparency, trustworthiness, and responsibility. The integration of the values contained in the Qur’an is very important in preventing fraudulent actions because it shapes. The awareness that Allah always watches over all human actions. This study contributes theoretically by strengthening the literature on Sharia accounting based on Islamic values, and practically provides guidance for business practitioners and accountants in building a fair, honest, and integrity-driven trade system. Keywords: Sharia Accounting, QS Al-Jumu'ah Verses 9-10, Fraud, Islamic Business Ethics.

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 examines how the profit-sharing system is implemented in the Easy Mudharabah Savings product at Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI) Cimahi Branch Office in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (PSAK) 405 about Mudharabah Accounting. This study combined field observation and literature review in a descriptive qualitative manner. Interviews, documents, and literature reviews on the National Sharia Council's (DSN-MUI) fatwa on the mudharabah contract were used to gather the data. The findings demonstrate that the Easy Mudharabah Savings program at the BSI Cimahi Branch has been appropriately and sharia-compliantly executed in conformity with PSAK 405 regulations. Customer deposits, as opposed to the bank's permanent liabilities, are recorded as Temporary Syirkah Funds. Based on the agreed-upon nisbah and the average daily balances of the clients, the profit-sharing method is used to calculate the profit-sharing. Furthermore, PSAK 405 is followed in the presentation and disclosure of financial statements, while there is still opportunity to further customer information transparency. All things considered, the results of this study show that the Islamic banking profit-sharing system's implementation of PSAK 405 upholds the values of equity, cooperation, and openness.

Mobile banking plays a dominant role in improving transaction convenience, while social media contributes significantly to customer education and product promotion. Furthermore, collaboration with Islamic fintech supports financial inclusion and encourages innovation aligned with Sharia principles. The results confirm that digitalization is a strategic driver for Islamic banks to remain competitive and relevant within the evolving financial industry landscape.

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.
