Abstract

This study examines spiritual entrepreneurship among Muslim MSME entrepreneurs in Tana Luwu, Indonesia, by analyzing how barakah, falāḥ, and iḥsāniyyah rationality shape everyday economic practices. It addresses a gap in Islamic entrepreneurship studies, which remain largely normative and centered on formal urban business settings, leaving local religious community-based MSMEs underexplored. Using a descriptive qualitative design within an interpretive paradigm, data were collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation involving 20 Muslim MSME entrepreneurs selected through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed through reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing, with credibility strengthened through source and methodological triangulation. The findings show that niyyah, amānah, iḥsān, tawakkul, and barakah orientation are embedded in business practices, shaping honesty, halal commitment, trust-based relationships, and resilience amid economic uncertainty. Business success is understood not merely as profit accumulation but as falāḥ-oriented well-being encompassing material, social, moral, and spiritual dimensions. The study introduces iḥsāniyyah rationality as an alternative model of economic rationality and offers a conceptual basis for value-based MSME development and social sustainability within local Muslim economic communities.

Abstract

The accelerating digital transformation has driven significant changes in how businesses market their products and engage with consumers. In Palopo City, the use of visual content, such as product photos, short videos, promotional designs, and visual storytelling, has become an increasingly prominent strategy. However, there is limited research specifically addressing how visual content impacts the business activities of various business actors in the region during the digital transformation process. This study aims to analyze the role of visual content in increasing visibility, sales, and customer relationships as part of the dynamics of digital transformation among businesses in Palopo City. Using a qualitative approach with in-depth interviews and field observations, this study explores the experiences and perceptions of business actors from various sectors. The research findings indicate that visual content serves not only as a promotional tool but also as a means of building brand identity, increasing credibility, and expanding market reach through digital platforms. Furthermore, businesses that are able to adapt visual content consistently and creatively tend to experience a more significant increase in business activity. This study provides a theoretical contribution related to understanding the role of visual content in digital transformation, while also offering practical implications for businesses, supporting institutions, and local governments to optimize digital strategies to drive local economic growth.

Abstract

Kegiatan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (PKM) ini bertujuan meningkatkan pemahaman dan kapasitas masyarakat Desa Tullak Tallu, Kabupaten Luwu Utara, dalam pengelolaan zakat, infak, dan sedekah (ZIS) secara produktif sebagai instrumen pemberdayaan ekonomi. Program dilatarbelakangi oleh hasil identifikasi awal yang menunjukkan bahwa penyaluran ZIS di masyarakat masih didominasi pola konsumtif untuk memenuhi kebutuhan jangka pendek, sementara pemanfaatannya sebagai modal usaha produktif belum berkembang. Intervensi PKM dilaksanakan melalui penyuluhan, pelatihan pengelolaan ZIS produktif, diskusi kelompok partisipatif (FGD), pemetaan potensi ekonomi lokal, serta evaluasi menggunakan pre test dan post test. Kegiatan dilaksanakan selama satu hari dan melibatkan 29 peserta yang terdiri atas aparat desa, tokoh agama, tokoh masyarakat, pelaku usaha mikro, petani, dan peternak. Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan adanya peningkatan pemahaman peserta mengenai konsep dan pemanfaatan ZIS produktif, yang ditunjukkan oleh kenaikan rata-rata skor dari 3,01 pada pre test menjadi 4,27 pada post test. Selain itu, terjadi perubahan cara pandang peserta dari orientasi penyaluran ZIS yang bersifat konsumtif menuju pemanfaatan yang lebih produktif untuk mendukung pengembangan usaha mikro berbasis potensi lokal. Kegiatan ini juga menghasilkan komitmen awal masyarakat dan pemerintah desa untuk mendorong penguatan tata kelola ZIS berbasis komunitas. Dengan demikian, pendampingan pengelolaan ZIS produktif melalui pendekatan edukatif dan partisipatif terbukti efektif sebagai langkah awal dalam memperkuat pemberdayaan ekonomi masyarakat desa.
