Islamic banking in Indonesia has experienced significant growth alongside increasing public interest in financial products that comply with Islamic principles. However, in practice, there are still challenges that prevent Islamic banking products and services from fully meeting Sharia standards. Some of the issues include the use of wadiah contracts in current accounts, which deviate from their original concept of safekeeping; the application of murabahah contracts for financing consumptive goods, which contradicts their intended purpose; the frequent misuse of ijarah muntahia bit tamlik (IMBT) contracts for speculative purposes; and mudharabah contracts with unfair profit-sharing ratios. Additionally, factors such as a lack of understanding of Islamic finance, competitive pressure from conventional banks, inadequate supervision, and differing interpretations of Sharia law further hinder the implementation of fully Sharia-compliant products and services. To resolve these challenges, various efforts are needed, including enhancing the quality of human resources through education and training, implementing stricter supervision by relevant authorities, developing clearer and more comprehensive operational standards, and fostering closer collaboration with Islamic scholars for accurate legal guidance. These steps are expected to help Islamic banking fully adhere to Sharia principles, increase public trust, and support the growth of the Islamic finance industry.

This research aims to determine the influence of Islamic banking financial ratios in the form of Return on Assets (ROA) Ratio, Non Performing Financing (NPF) Ratio, Financing to Deposit Ratio (FDR) and Total Asset Turnover (TATO) on the Operational Cost-Operational Income Ratio (BOPO) at Sharia Commercial Banks in Indonesia.  This research uses a quantitative approach with sample data totaling 7 (seven) sharia commercial banks out of 13 (thirteen) sharia commercial bank populations registered with the Financial Services Authority. Research data uses secondary data for the annual period in the period 2010 - 2023.

Islamic banking financing has become a crucial component of Indonesia's financial sector, providing a Sharia-compliant alternative to conventional financing. Despite its rapid growth, assessing the feasibility of Islamic banking financing remains a major challenge, particularly in terms of risk management, financial sustainability, and regulatory compliance. Previous studies have assessed financing feasibility using various methods, including the 5C approach (Character, Capacity, Capital, Collateral, and Conditions). However, research in this area remains fragmented, with a lack of systematic analysis of key trends, methodologies, and influencing factors. This study uses a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to synthesize and analyze existing research on the feasibility of Islamic banking financing in Indonesia. The review covers studies published between 2020 and 2022, focusing on research distribution, analytical techniques, and key determinants affecting financing feasibility. The findings reveal that most studies emphasize credit risk assessment, financial literacy, and regulatory frameworks, but lack a unified approach to measuring feasibility. Furthermore, this study highlights gaps in the application of digital technologies, such as big data and machine learning, that can be used to strengthen the financing eligibility assessment system. The application of these technologies not only improves the accuracy of risk predictions but also enables Islamic banking institutions to reach more customers, particularly MSMEs and the informal sector, which have historically been underserved. The results of this study provide valuable insights for Islamic financial institutions, regulators, and researchers, highlighting the need for integrated risk assessment models, a better regulatory framework, and enhanced financial literacy initiatives to strengthen Islamic banking financing in Indonesia. This research contributes to the development of a more structured and comprehensive framework for evaluating financing eligibility, ensuring sustainable growth and financial inclusion in the Islamic banking sector.

This study aims to comprehensively explore the implementation of collateral auctions at Pegadaian Syariah KM.6.5 Bengkulu Branch. Pegadaian Syariah provides financing services based on sharia principles with collateral of valuable goods. When customers fail to repay loans within the specified period, the Islamic pawnshop uses collateral auctions as a last resort to protect the financial rights of the institution. This study analyzes the auction procedures implemented, the obstacles faced, and the impact of auctions on customers. The research method is qualitative descriptive, involving observation, interviews with pawnshops, and document analysis. The results of the study indicate that auctions at Islamic pawnshops follow the principles of fairness, transparency, and sharia; however, challenges such as determining optimal prices and customer education are still obstacles that need to be considered.

This study investigates the role of Islamic social finance in supporting green economy development across Muslim-majority countries. Islamic social finance instruments, including zakat, waqf, and sadaqah, are designed to redistribute wealth ethically and address social inequalities, while also offering potential for financing environmentally sustainable projects. Using a quantitative research design and econometric modeling with panel data, the study analyzes the impact of these instruments on environmental performance indicators such as the Green Economy Index (GEI) and Environmental Performance Index (EPI). Secondary data are collected from international sources including the OIC Statistical Database, the World Bank, and the Islamic Development Bank, covering selected countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Pakistan, and Egypt. The analysis includes independent variables representing zakat distribution, waqf assets, and sadaqah volume, with control variables including GDP per capita, governance indicators, and population growth. Descriptive statistics reveal substantial variation in Islamic social finance and environmental performance across countries, indicating the importance of institutional governance and policy integration. Econometric results demonstrate a positive correlation between zakat and waqf development and environmental performance, while sadaqah contributes positively but to a lesser extent. These findings suggest that Islamic social finance can directly support environmental projects, including renewable energy initiatives, sustainable agriculture, and green infrastructure, complementing conventional fiscal tools. The study highlights the advantages of Islamic social finance in promoting justice, sustainability, and ethical allocation of resources, and it emphasizes the need to integrate green objectives into zakat and waqf operational frameworks. Policy recommendations include mainstreaming Islamic social finance into national green policies, enhancing governance and transparency, and encouraging cross-sector collaboration between financial institutions and environmental agencies. Future research is suggested to explore micro-level impacts on household and community environmental behaviors and to conduct comparative studies across regions. Overall, the study underscores the potential of Islamic social finance as a faith-driven, socially inclusive, and environmentally sustainable mechanism for supporting long-term green economic development.
