Abstract

This study examines the reorientation of Islamic cooperatives in Indonesia from a formalistic compliance with sharia contracts toward a substantive realization of economic justice. Despite the rapid growth of Islamic cooperative institutions, many of them operate in ways that closely resemble conventional financial intermediaries, emphasizing fixed returns and risk avoidance rather than partnership, empowerment, and wealth redistribution. This condition weakens the transformative role of Islamic cooperatives as instruments of socio-economic justice. Using a qualitative and conceptual research design, this study employs literature-based analysis and analytical synthesis of contemporary Islamic economics and cooperative theory to construct a normative and institutional framework. The study integrates maqasid al-shariah, cooperative principles, and Islamic microfinance perspectives to identify structural inconsistencies between current practices and the ethical foundations of Islamic economics. The main outcome of this research is the formulation of the Islamic Cooperative Justice-Based Model (KS-KKE), which consists of four pillars: maqasid orientation, participatory financing, fair value distribution, and member empowerment. This model shifts the paradigm from contract-centered governance toward justice-centered institutional design. The study concludes that the sustainability and legitimacy of Islamic cooperatives depend not on contractual formalism but on their ability to promote inclusive growth, equitable wealth distribution, and economic empowerment of members.

Abstract

This study reports on a community service activity aimed at enhancing the digital capability of MSME actors in Garut, Indonesia, conducted on November 19, 2025, as part of the WiraHebat Goes to Village program. Addressing the local digital gap, the intervention utilized a practitioner-led training titled, "Digital Marketing for UMKM & Entrepreneurs: Mindset, Strategi, dan Aksi". The methodology employed presentation, Q&A, and brainstorming, with evaluation based on qualitative feedback. Results confirmed a successful paradigm shift in the entrepreneurial mindset and high conceptual comprehension of the Hybrid Strategy and 4P diagnostic tool. Participants showed keen interest in local channels like website, social media, eCommerce, marketplace and Google My Business (GMB). The activity successfully initiated Digital Empowerment, validating the approach of strengthening strategic thinking (Mindset and Strategy). However, a significant technical execution gap (Action Gap) was identified due to the one-day format. The conclusion recommends mandatory, phased technical mentoring following the training to ensure the conceptual gains translate into measurable economic performance and sustainable business growth for the WiraHebat partners.
