Abstract

MSMEs often face various problems that hinder their business growth. MSMEs run by students from the Faculty of Economics and Islamic Business, North Sumatra State Islamic University (FEBI UINSU) experience limited capital, limited market access and a lack of managerial knowledge. Islamic social capital, which consists of trust (X1), norms (X2), networks (X3), and religiosity (X4), can play an important role in overcoming these challenges. This research aims to discuss the contribution of Islamic social capital to improving MSMEs run by FEBI UINSU students. The method used is multiple linear regression with a questionnaire survey as a data collection instrument. The research sample is students who actively manage MSMEs on the FEBI UINSU campus. The results of data analysis show that Islamic social capital has a significant positive influence on increasing UMKM FEBI UINSU students. These findings show that Islamic social capital plays an important role in building networks, improving service quality, and supporting the growth of MSMEs. This research is expected to provide practical implications in helping students understand the importance of utilizing Islamic social capital to improve the performance and sustainability of their businesses, as well as providing theoretical implications that can enrich understanding of the role of social capital in the context of Islamic economics.

Abstract

Introduction: Islamic entrepreneurial behavior views business activities not merely as a means of profit, but as an implementation of the values ​​of monotheism, trustworthiness, justice, and welfare. However, student entrepreneurial interest remains relatively low, while Islamic financial literacy and social environmental influences are suspected to be important factors in shaping Islamic value-based business behavior. This study aims to analyze the influence of Islamic financial literacy and peer influence on Islamic entrepreneurial behavior among students at UIN Sumatera Utara Medan. Methods: The study used a quantitative approach with a survey method on 100 students selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected using a Likert scale questionnaire and analyzed using multiple linear regression using SPSS 22. Instrument tests, classical assumptions, t-tests, F-tests, and coefficients of determination were used to test the hypotheses. Results: The results show that Islamic financial literacy has a positive and significant effect on Islamic entrepreneurial behavior (t = 10.637; p < 0.05). Conversely, peer influence has no significant partial effect (t = 0.134; p > 0.05). Simultaneously, both variables have a significant effect (F = 57.252; p < 0.05) with an explanatory contribution of 54.1%. Conclusion and suggestion: Sharia financial literacy is a primary factor in shaping Islamic entrepreneurial behavior, while peer influence is supportive. Strengthening the entrepreneurship curriculum based on the principles of sharia, training in Islamic financial literacy, and developing students' spiritual character are recommended to foster ethical, independent, and blessing-oriented entrepreneurs.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of investment in economic development policies in the tourism sector in Deli Serdang Regency and its empowerment towards regional economic growth from an Islamic economic perspective. The research method used is a qualitative descriptive analytical approach utilizing secondary data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), the Tourism Office, and the Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services Office (DPMPTSP) of Deli Serdang Regency for the 2015–2024 period. The results show that tourism investment contributes positively to increasing Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP), creating jobs, and strengthening the creative economy of local communities. Programs such as the Kamu Market in Denai Lama Village and the development of Sibolangit nature tourism are examples of the successful synergy between investment policies and community economic empowerment. However, the effectiveness of the policy still faces obstacles in the aspects of inter-agency coordination, equitable distribution of investment between regions, and limited human resource capacity. From an Islamic economic perspective, tourism investment must be based on the principles of maslahah, 'adl (justice), and tawazun (balance) so that economic development does not only focus on material growth, but also ensures social welfare and environmental sustainability. The concept of khalifah fil ardh (vicegerent) emphasizes humanity's responsibility as stewards of the earth to ensure sustainable and ethical investments. Therefore, investment policy strategies in the tourism sector need to be directed at strengthening sustainable tourism investments based on Islamic values ​​to create inclusive, equitable, and environmentally just economic growth
