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.

Murabaha financing is one of the Islamic financing products that is popular among MSMEs. This product is in accordance with Islamic sharia principles which prohibit usury and encourage fair buying and selling transactions. This study aims to analyze the implementation of sharia principles in murabahah financing products of Islamic banks on the financial performance of MSMEs. A literature review was conducted to understand the concepts of sharia principles, murabaha financing, and MSMEs financial performance. Data were collected from various sources, journals, including books, and other reliable sources. The study results show that the implementation of sharia principles in murabaha financing products of Islamic banks has a positive influence on the financial performance of MSMEs. This positive influence can be seen from the increase in profitability and operational efficiency of MSMEs. In addition, murabaha financing can also help MSMEs to increase access to capital and develop their business.
