Abstract

This study analyzes the impact of the Ramadan month on the income of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises in Batang Kuis District. The research employs a quantitative approach using surveys and interviews with MSME actors to compare their income before, during, and after Ramadan. The results reveal a significant increase in MSME income by approximately 63.4% during Ramadan, driven by shifts in consumption patterns, increased demand for Ramadan-specific products, and strategic business adaptations such as product diversification and adjusted operating hours. The study also discusses the challenges faced by MSMEs, including limited capital and digital marketing access, which affect their ability to fully optimize income growth during this period. The findings suggest that Ramadan serves as a critical opportunity for MSMEs to enhance their economic performance, provided they implement effective strategies and receive adequate support.

Abstract

The increasing incidence of marital conflicts leading to syiqaq (prolonged marital disputes) and divorce highlights the need for preventive efforts through Islamic religious counseling provided by the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA). This study aims to analyze the implementation of Islamic religious counseling in preventing syiqaq and to identify the factors affecting its effectiveness at the KUA of Medan Amplas District, Medan City. This research employed a qualitative field research approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis involving the Head of the KUA, Islamic religious counselors, married couples, and community leaders. Data were analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that Islamic religious counseling has been implemented through premarital guidance (Bimbingan Perkawinan), family counseling, religious education, and mediation for couples experiencing domestic conflicts. Islamic religious counselors serve as educators, mediators, counselors, and facilitators by applying persuasive, dialogical, and problem-solving approaches. The effectiveness of counseling is influenced by socio-cultural conditions, family economic circumstances, marital communication, the influence of social media, and support from families and religious leaders.
