This study aims to evaluate the level of sharia compliance in musyarakah contracts within micro-enterprise financing. Musyarakah is a partnership-based financing contract that emphasizes cooperation, profit-sharing based on an agreed ratio (nisbah), and proportional risk sharing in accordance with each party’s capital contribution. In practice, the implementation of musyarakah contracts in micro-enterprise financing must be assessed against the Fatwa of the National Sharia Council–Indonesian Ulema Council (DSN-MUI), principles of fiqh muamalah, and Islamic banking regulatory frameworks in Indonesia. The findings show that the implementation of musyarakah working capital financing in Islamic banking is generally in the good category. However, two non-compliance issues with sharia principles were identified. First, there is an imbalance in work participation, where the business is fully managed by the customer while the bank only provides supervision and guidance without active involvement, whereas active participation of partners is a fundamental principle of musyarakah. Second, there is an element of riba due to the use of a fixed profit-sharing scheme, even though profits in musyarakah should be uncertain and based on actual business performance. The study implies that Islamic banks need to improve musyarakah implementation to ensure full compliance with DSN-MUI fatwas, particularly in terms of active bank participation and non-fixed profit-sharing arrangements. Properly implemented, musyarakah financing can strengthen micro and small enterprises by promoting justice-based and risk-sharing economic cooperation.

This study aims to comprehensively examine the implementation and mechanisms for results in Al-Mudharabah financing at Bank Muamalat Rangkasbitung, while also assessing the level of compliance of its implementation with sharia principles. This study applies a qualitative descriptive method with a field study approach involving direct observation, interviews, and review of documents related to Mudharabah financing procedures. The research findings show that Bank Muamalat Rangkasbitung implements a profit-sharing system based on the principles of justice (al-'adl) and trustworthiness (al-amanah). The profit-sharing scheme is carried out proportionally according to the ratio agreed upon in the initial contract, so that both parties have clarity regarding rights and responsibilities. The implementation of this system not only ensures the avoidance of usury but also strengthens the partnership between the bank and customers through practices of transparency, information disclosure, and a shared commitment to business management. Overall, these findings show that the implementation of Al-Mudharabah financing at Bank Muamalat Rangkasbitung has been running in line with several sharia values ​​and even supports the realization of fair, ethical, and sustainability-oriented Islamic economic practices. Thus, Mudharabah financing at the branch can be an example of the effective implementation of sharia contracts and is able to encourage the development of the sharia financial sector at the local level.

This article analyzes the fundamental differences between the mechanisms of fund collection and fund distribution in Islamic banks and conventional banks in Indonesia, based on DSN-MUI Fatwas and banking regulations. In general, both types of banks serve the same function—to collect and distribute funds to support economic activities. However, the main distinction lies in their operational principles. Conventional banks operate using a fixed interest system, establishing a creditor–debtor relationship. In contrast, Islamic banks operate based on Sharia principles that prohibit riba (usury). In fund collection, conventional banks use interest-based savings and deposit products, while Islamic banks apply Wadiah (safekeeping) and Mudharabah (profit-sharing investment) contracts. Regarding fund distribution, conventional banks provide interest-bearing loans, whereas Islamic banks offer financing through Sharia contracts such as Murabahah (cost-plus sale), Musyarakah (partnership), Mudharabah (profit-sharing), and Ijarah (leasing), emphasizing cooperation and risk-sharing. Although Islamic banking is regulated under Law No. 21 of 2008 and DSN-MUI Fatwas, it still faces several challenges, including the dominance of Murabahah financing and the low level of public literacy regarding Islamic financial systems.

Islamic banking plays a crucial role in providing financing in accordance with Islamic principles, including through the Home Ownership Credit (KPR) product. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Murabahah and Musyarakah Mutanaqishah (MMQ) contracts in the iB Hijrah KPR financing product at Bank Muamalat KCP Rancaekek. The Murabahah contract is implemented through a sale and purchase mechanism, where the bank purchases the house the customer needs and resells it with an agreed profit margin, thus providing price certainty and a simple process. Meanwhile, the MMQ contract is based on a partnership between the bank and the customer with a concept of joint ownership that gradually decreases, thus creating flexibility and a more balanced risk sharing. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection techniques through literature studies, interviews, and observations. The results of the analysis show that the majority of customers prefer the Murabahah contract due to its simplicity, although in the long term, MMQ is seen as more economical and fair. Thus, both contracts are equally relevant to support Sharia-based home ownership. This research is expected to contribute to Islamic banking in improving service quality, strengthening Islamic financial literacy, and encouraging innovation in competitive and sustainable financing products.

Sharia financing is a key instrument that Islamic banks must promote in channeling third-party funds. This aligns with the basic principles of Islamic banking, which emphasize fairness, partnership, and business sustainability. Therefore, it is crucial to examine how various Islamic financing schemes impact Islamic bank profitability. This study focuses on Bank Mega Syariah, using secondary data sourced from quarterly financial reports for the period 2017 to 2024. The financing variables analyzed include musyarakah, mudharabah, murabahah, and ijarah, while profitability is measured using relevant financial performance indicators. The analysis method used is a quantitative approach using regression techniques to examine the effect of each type of financing on bank profitability. The results show that musyarakah, mudharabah, and murabahah-based financing have a positive and significant impact on profitability, meaning that the higher the distribution of these three types of financing, the greater their contribution to increasing bank profits. These findings indicate that the business partnership model, profit-sharing system, and profit margin stipulated in the murabahah contract significantly contribute to maintaining profit growth. Conversely, ijarah financing did not significantly impact profitability. This may be due to the characteristics of ijarah, which tends to be oriented towards fixed assets or leases, resulting in a relatively limited contribution to increasing short-term profits. Overall, this study provides important implications for Islamic bank management to further optimize the proportion of musyarakah, mudharabah, and murabahah financing as a strategy to boost financial performance and maintain business continuity amidst the competitive Islamic banking industry.

The threat of substitute products has not been found directly, but digital transformation to the Byond By BSI platform is a concern. In industrial competition, BSI Karang Kobar admits that it still faces challenges, such as limited economies of scale compared to conventional banks. Thus, the application of sharia principles in the formulation of business strategies allows Islamic banks to build customer loyalty and create sustainable competitive advantages. Porter's Five Forces approach has proven to be relevant and effective in helping Islamic banks formulate adaptive and valuable strategies in facing competition in the modern financial industry.

This research examines the implementation of musyarakah contracts in the Islamic banking system in Indonesia. The main focus of the study is to analyze the implementation mechanisms, challenges faced, and development strategies of musyarakah contracts. Using a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical method, this research combines primary data from in-depth interviews with Islamic banking practitioners and secondary data from literature studies.

The proposed development strategies include enhancing education, strengthening regulations, product innovation, and technology utilization. In conclusion, optimizing musyarakah contracts requires collaborative efforts from various stakeholders to overcome challenges and harness its potential in promoting fair partnership-based economic growth.

The banking industry has a very important role in a country's economy. One of the things related to the banking sector is operational activities towards the environment. The increasing environmental damage that occurs is a form of human indiscipline in managing natural resources. Therefore, efforts that banks can make to implement environmentally friendly practices in their operational activities are green banking by considering the 5P aspects, namely People, Planet, Partnership, Peace and Prosperity. Even though banks do not contribute directly to environmental pollution, sectors that carry out business activities cannot possibly operate if they do not have capital to finance their operations and one of the financial institutions that provides capital in the form of financing is banks. So, indirectly banks play an important role in environmental sustainability. This research aims to investigate the impact of green banking on financial inclusion and the growth of Islamic banking in Indonesia. The data analysis method employed is the Seemingly Unrelated Regression (SUR) method. The research approach is associative/quantitative, utilizing secondary data obtained and processed from annual reports and sustainability reports available on the official websites of the respective companies.

In every transaction or agreement they observe, notaries are crucial in guaranteeing adherence to sharia rules. It is essential for notaries to comprehend sharia principles in muamalah (business transactions) in order to perform their duties responsibly and in compliance with applicable legal rules. Muamalah based on sharia principles addresses a number of topics, including justice, openness, unity, and adherence to Islamic legal norms. To determine if a transaction or agreement complies with the relevant sharia principles, notaries must comprehend and internalise these principles. This research aims to find out, analyse and explain in depth the role of notaries in making financing agreement deeds based on sharia principles, so that they can contribute to the development of Islamic banking law and notaries in Indonesia, and analyse and explain comprehensively the responsibilities of notaries both civilly, criminally, and administratively for the sharia financing agreement deeds they make, so that they can contribute to the legal protection of the par. This research uses a type of legal research that is Normative as well as Sociological (empirical). The findings revealed that the role of the Notary in the application of Sharia principles in contract deeds at Bank Syariah Indonesia KC Batam is not overly dominant, because the Notary's role is essentially limited to legalising the contract, while the bank determines the contract's content entirely. The notary bears accountability for the Sharia Financing Agreement deed and must read and comprehend its contents. With this reading, the notary can also amend any inaccuracies in the deed's contents. The Notary will refuse to legalise the deed if it violates the law, public order, or decency. The constraints of the absence of Notary competencies that are in accordance with and fulfill sharia provisions, make not all Notaries who are partners of Islamic banks lack understanding of sharia principles.
