Abstract

Waqf has long been a pillar of Islamic philanthropy and socio-economic development, yet its potential remains underutilized in Indonesia’s modern Islamic financial ecosystem. This article examines how waqf can be repositioned and optimized within Indonesia’s Islamic finance, focusing on institutional roles and regulatory frameworks. Adopting a qualitative approach that combines theoretical-conceptual analysis with case studies, we review Islamic legal principles, national laws, and recent innovations. We analyze three emblematic cases – L-Kaf Sidogiri (a pesantren-based waqf institution), Dompet Dhuafa (a prominent Islamic philanthropic foundation), and the Cash Waqf-Linked Sukuk (CWLS) – to illustrate successes and challenges in waqf management. Our findings reveal that while waqf is recognized as a key instrument in poverty alleviation and social welfare financing, its impact is limited by fragmented institutions, gaps in regulation, low public awareness, and governance weaknesses. However, successful models of productive waqf and financial innovation demonstrate the feasibility of an integrated waqf ecosystem. We discuss strategies to strengthen legal frameworks, enhance institutional capacity, and synergize waqf with Islamic banking, capital markets, and technology. The article offers policy recommendations toward “mainstreaming” waqf in Indonesia’s Islamic financial sector, thereby unlocking waqf’s potential for sustainable development.

Abstract

Financial technology emerged as a result of the rapid development of the internet and information technology, which is increasingly sensitizing the public, often known as Financial Technology. Collaboration between FinTech and banking institutions will provide benefits for both parties. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of banking and FinTech cooperation, especially with regard to blockchain technology. This study uses a quantitative approach with comparative analysis to evaluate the variation in profitability levels determined by the Return on Equity (ROE), Return on Assets (ROA), and Net Profit Margin (NIM) ratios between before and after implementing blockchain technology at Al Hilal Bank for the period 2012 to 2023. The paired sample t-test was used to assess the data, and the results showed that there was no significant difference between ROA, ROE, and NPM after using blockchain technology. The implications of this study indicate that banks still need to make improvements and adjustments in order to remain optimally profitable while keeping up with technological developments.

Abstract

Matrix organizational structures are increasingly being used by multinational companies in response to the complexities of global account management (GAM). This article explores the challenges and opportunities in implementing a matrix structure for GAM through a qualitative, case study-based approach. The study was conducted across four global companies in the technology and manufacturing sectors. The results show that matrix structures enhance cross-functional and cross-regional coordination, but also create role conflict, authority ambiguity, and high communication burden. This study provides strategic insights for top management to balance the need for global integration and local adaptation in the context of global strategic account management.

Abstract

Poverty, unemployment, and human development are closely intertwined and remain persistent challenges in Indonesia, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. This study investigates the influence of unemployment, economic growth, and the Human Development Index (HDI) on poverty in Indonesia over the period 2013–2024, using 48 quarterly observations sourced from Statistics Indonesia (BPS). Anchored in Islamic economic thought, the analysis incorporates the concept of maslahah. The pursuit of public benefit and welfare as a normative foundation for development. A quantitative method is employed using the Error Correction Model (ECM), which enables the examination of both short-term fluctuations and long-term relationships among variables. The results show that, in the short term, rising unemployment significantly exacerbates poverty, while in the long term, improvements in economic growth and HDI are effective in alleviating poverty levels. These findings highlight the need for integrated and sustained efforts to enhance human capital, generate employment, and ensure inclusive economic progress. Policy frameworks inspired by maslahah can help ensure that anti-poverty strategies are not only economically effective but also ethically grounded, thereby supporting the broader objectives of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Abstract

This study examines the transformation of waqf in the digital era through the waqf crowdfunding model and cash waqf savings products from the perspective of Maqashid Syariah. Waqf, which is traditionally manifested in the form of immovable assets, has now developed into movable assets such as cash waqf, supported by Law No. 41 of 2004. Digital innovations, such as waqf crowdfunding, allow wider community participation with small amounts for productive social projects, while cash waqf savings products in Islamic banking manage funds productively with the proceeds channeled to education, health, and public infrastructure. Despite having great potential in socio-economic development and in line with the Hifdzu Maal principle in Maqashid Syariah, the implementation of digital waqf still faces challenges such as unclear regulations, lack of public awareness, risk of mismanagement, and limited investment. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach, case studies, and normative-sociological with in-depth interviews, documentation, and literature studies as data collection techniques. The research subjects were selected through purposive sampling. Data analysis using the Miles and Huberman interactive model, as well as triangulation of sources and methods for data validity. The results of the study are expected to provide theoretical contributions and practical recommendations for the management of digital waqf that is professional, transparent, and beneficial to the community.

Abstract

Within the context of Islamic finance, profit sharing represents more than a mere economic mechanism, yet its deeper symbolic meanings remain underexplored. This study aims to uncover the layered meanings of profit sharing through denotation, connotation, and myth using Roland Barthes's semiotic framework. Employing a qualitative approach with a postmodernist perspective, data were collected through field research involving in-depth interviews with nine informants, supplemented by secondary literature reviews. The findings reveal that profit sharing operates on three semiotic levels: denotatively as cooperation and mutual agreement; connotatively as mutual assistance, responsibility, and rejection of injustice reflecting the Prophet Muhammad SAW's example; and mythologically as connected to the traditional "paron" system and interpreted as employee financing or empowerment. These findings demonstrate that profit sharing transcends economic transactions to function as a cultural and symbolic system embodying justice, collective welfare, and moral values, often illustrated through metaphors of bees and voluntary cooperation, thereby positioning it as both a financial instrument and a vehicle for social equity within Islamic economic principles. Abstrak Analisis Semiotik Bagi Hasil dalam Keuangan Islam: Studi Kritis Roland Barthes. Dalam konteks keuangan Islam, bagi hasil tidak hanya merepresentasikan mekanisme ekonomi, namun juga makna simbolik mendalam yang belum tereksplorasi secara memadai. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap makna-makna tersembunyi di balik konsep dan praktik bagi hasil dalam konteks keuangan Islam, melalui pendekatan semiotika Roland Barthes. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif berperspektif postmodernis, data dikumpulkan melalui penelitian lapangan yang melibatkan wawancara mendalam dengan sembilan informan, dilengkapi dengan tinjauan literatur sekunder. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa bagi hasil beroperasi pada tiga tingkat semiotik: secara denotatif sebagai kerja sama dan kesepakatan bersama; secara konotatif sebagai bantuan timbal balik, tanggung jawab, dan penolakan terhadap ketidakadilan yang mencerminkan teladan Nabi Muhammad SAW; dan secara mitologis sebagai yang terhubung dengan sistem tradisional "paron" dan diinterpretasikan sebagai pembiayaan atau pemberdayaan karyawan. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa bagi hasil melampaui transaksi ekonomi untuk berfungsi sebagai sistem budaya dan simbolik yang mewujudkan keadilan, kesejahteraan kolektif, dan nilai-nilai moral, sering digambarkan melalui metafora lebah dan kerja sama sukarela, sehingga memposisikannya baik sebagai instrumen keuangan maupun wahana untuk kesetaraan sosial dalam prinsip ekonomi Islam.
