Abstract

This study examines the interaction between Islamic values and Batak traditions in the business practices of Muslim entrepreneurs in North Sumatra, focusing on haminjon (frankincense), which holds both spiritual and economic significance for Batak society. Unlike previous research that rarely explores the integration of religion and custom in trade, this study employs a qualitative ethnographic approach. Fieldwork was conducted over three months (April–June 2025) in Doloksanggul and Balige, involving seven participants: three Batak Muslim entrepreneurs, two haminjon traders, one customary leader, and one local ustaz. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis, and examined using thematic coding to identify negotiation patterns between adat and Islam. The findings indicate that Islamization in this context does not occur through doctrinal enforcement but rather through moral diplomacy, ethical conduct, and everyday commercial practices. Muslim entrepreneurs continue to uphold kinship ties and customary obligations, while reinterpreting them through Islamic principles such as honesty, justice, rejection of usury, and social responsibility. Within this process, haminjon serves as both a cultural and economic bridge, shifting from a ritual object into a symbol of halal trade and moral integrity. Theoretically, this study proposes a contextual model of Islamic business ethics rooted in local values yet adaptable to cultural pluralism. Practically, it underscores trade as a medium of Islamization, showing that the integration of religion and tradition occurs through productive reinterpretation that strengthens collective identity and supports sustainable development.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the problems and formulate solutions related to the implementation of halal certification for MSMEs in Indonesia. Employing a qualitative content analysis approach, ten articles published between 2019 and 2024 were analyzed using a mind map chart to identify key issues and integrated solutions. The findings highlight five major areas of concern: regulations, business actors, support systems, implementation processes, and public outreach. Key challenges include an underdeveloped legal structure, high certification costs, low awareness among business actors, and inadequate infrastructure and support. Proposed solutions involve offering free halal certification, enhancing outreach efforts, digitizing the certification system, strengthening institutional support, and providing technical assistance. This research offers a comprehensive mapping of problems and solutions, an approach not previously undertaken. It underscores the need for synergy between the government, support institutions, and MSMEs to build a more inclusive and effective halal certification ecosystem in Indonesia.   Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi problematika dan merumuskan solusi dalam pelaksanaan sertifikasi halal bagi pelaku UMKM di Indonesia. Dengan pendekatan analisis konten kualitatif, 10 artikel terpilih dari tahun 2019-2024 dianalisis menggunakan alat pemetaan mind maps chart untuk mengidentifikasi tantangan utama dan solusi yang terintegrasi. Hasil penelitian mengungkapkan lima aspek problematika utama: regulasi, pelaku usaha, sistem pendukung, implementasi, dan sosialisasi. Tantangan meliputi ketidaksiapan struktur hukum, biaya yang memberatkan, rendahnya kesadaran pelaku usaha, serta keterbatasan infrastruktur dan pendampingan. Solusi yang diusulkan meliputi program sertifikasi halal gratis, peningkatan sosialisasi, digitalisasi sistem, penguatan dukungan kelembagaan, dan pendampingan teknis. Penelitian ini berkontribusi dengan menyajikan pemetaan komprehensif problematika dan solusi tentang pelaksanaan sertifikasi halal bagi pelaku UMKM di Indonesia. Dalam implikasinya diperlukan sinergi antara pemerintah, lembaga pendukung, dan UMKM untuk menciptakan ekosistem sertifikasi halal yang lebih inklusif dan efisien di Indonesia.

Abstract

Pengabdian masyarakat berbasis moderasi beragama ini penting dilaksanakan karena masih banyak masyarakat yang belum memahami konsep moderasi beragama secara utuh. Bahkan masih tabu dengan pemahaman umat beragama lain sehingga sering kali memicu konflik beragama yang dapat terjadi akibat kesalahpahaman dan intoleransi. Terciptanya masyarakat yang moderat dan toleran merupakan kunci mewujudkan masyarakat yang maju dan sejahtera. Pengabdian masyarakat ini menggunakan metode Participatory Action Reseach(PAR), dimana masyarakat ikut berperan serta didalamnya. Adapun hasil yang diperoleh dari kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini adalah terbentuknya Rumah Moderasi Beragama yang memiliki program-program keagamaan berdasarkan kearifan lokal. Pengabdian masyarakat ini juga membuka pola pikir masyarakat tentang persamaan dan persaudaraan yang harus dijaga.

Abstract

The integration of e-learning in higher education encounters intricate problems, including the gender-based digital divide, which may impact equitable access to education. This study seeks to examine the evolution and execution of e-learning through a gender lens within the Department of Political Science at the Faculty of Sharia and Law, UIN Sumatera Utara. Data were obtained utilizing a descriptive qualitative methodology through observation, in-depth interviews with 10% of students (randomly selected to ensure balanced gender representation) and instructors, as well as document analysis and literature reviews. The data analysis utilized qualitative methods incorporating a gender analysis framework. The research findings reveal: (1) merely 30% of lecturers utilize e-learning; (2) a gender disparity exists in technological access, with female students experiencing restricted access to personal devices; (3) digital literacy varies by gender owing to unequal socialization and opportunities; (4) participation trends indicate that female students prefer textual contributions over oral communication; (5) the dual burden of domestic responsibilities impedes the full participation of female students and lecturers. Obstacles encompass the digital access divide, disparities in digital literacy, gender norms, socio-cultural conventions, and insufficient gender-sensitive training. This study advocates for the formulation of gender-responsive e-learning policies, the enhancement of equitable technology access, the provision of inclusive digital literacy training, the creation of gender-neutral material, and the establishment of a gender-based monitoring system to guarantee equality in Islamic higher education.

Abstract

This study explores Islamic economics and business anthropology with a focus on the commercial ethics of the Minangkabau diaspora in Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. The central problem addressed is the growing challenge faced by diaspora Muslim entrepreneurs in maintaining Islamic business ethics and cultural identity while navigating increasingly competitive market environments and multicultural business interactions. In Southeast Asia, cross-border trade among ethnic communities continues to expand, yet reports of declining ethical practice and weakened cultural ties in diaspora business networks raise concerns for the sustainability of moral economic conduct. These conditions underscore the urgency to investigate how traditional Islamic values and Minangkabau customs are preserved, negotiated, and transformed within contemporary business settings. This research aims to understand the internalization of Islamic values and Minangkabau adat within the business practices of migrant traders, as well as how these values adapt to Malaysian socio-cultural contexts. Employing a qualitative method with an ethnographic approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis involving 10 key informants consisting of Minangkabau traders and community leaders in Negeri Sembilan. Thematic data analysis highlights the dynamic interplay between religious principles, customary norms, and economic behavior. Findings reveal that Minangkabau traders uphold Islamic business ethics through the values of honesty, trust, and ukhuwah, while simultaneously adjusting to local business norms and regulations. Their ethical approach forms a contextual model of entrepreneurship that balances spiritual commitments with economic pragmatism. This study contributes to the formulation of the concept of Islamic Entrepreneurial Diaspora, offering an integrative model for understanding how Islamic belief systems interact with local culture in cross-national economic practices. The discovery provides theoretical enrichment to Islamic business ethics discourse and demonstrates the enduring importance of local cultural values in navigating global commercial pressures.

Abstract

Radicalism remains a significant concern in Indonesia, particularly inside the educational setting. This study seeks to comprehend the phenomena of radicalism among students, particularly among Islamic Religious Universities (PTKI). Data was acquired using a qualitative technique through interviews, observations, focus group discussions, and surveys at five PTKIs in Sumatra. Significant findings indicate that approximately 50% of students acknowledge the presence of radical ideology on their campuses, however their understanding of the term of radicalism varies. Women have been recognized for their roles in radical organizations, serving as both recruiters and logistical supporters. This study's result underscores the necessity for enhanced literacy on radicalism among students, as well as the imperative to elevate understanding of women's participation in radical movements, which necessitates academic and legislative measures to disrupt the cycle of radicalism..

Abstract

The massive floods in Sumatra in 2025–2026 resulted in significant loss of life and economic damage, driven by a combination of extreme weather and environmental degradation linked to business activities. This situation underscores that disaster management is not solely the responsibility of government, but also of the private sector. In Indonesian business law, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) constitutes a legal obligation for companies to address the social and environmental impacts of their operations. Therefore, strengthening CSR is crucial as an instrument for sustainable flood mitigation and recovery. This study aims to analyze the role and position of CSR in flood management in Sumatra, to reinforce CSR policies so they contribute more effectively to prevention and mitigation, and to examine corporate accountability when CSR is not optimally implemented, leading to environmental damage and increased flood risk. This research adopts a normative legal method with a descriptive-analytical approach, using statutory and case-based analysis. The data consist of secondary sources, including primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials, collected through literature and document review and analyzed qualitatively. CSR in flood management functions as a strategic legal instrument for environmental prevention and recovery. Its optimization is essential to strengthen environmental protection and the resilience of flood-prone areas. CSR must shift from a charitable approach to a risk- and sustainability-based framework integrated with environmental and disaster law. Stronger ESG regulation, oversight, and reporting are necessary. Corporate accountability for suboptimal CSR includes administrative, civil, and criminal sanctions, alongside governance and reputational consequences, grounded in precautionary and polluter-pays principles.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of digital technology has fundamentally transformed business legal systems, demanding more adaptive and responsive regulatory frameworks. In Indonesia, the Job Creation Law was enacted through an omnibus law approach to simplify regulations and support the digital economy; however, its implementation continues to face significant challenges, including regulatory disharmony, normative gaps, and legal uncertainty. This study analyzes the dynamics of the Job Creation Law's implementation in responding to digital disruption in Indonesia's business law sector, along with the challenges encountered and the government's role in regulatory harmonization. Using a normative legal method with a descriptive-analytical approach, this study employs statutory and case-based approaches, drawing on secondary data analyzed qualitatively. The findings indicate that while the Job Creation Law has successfully shifted business law toward a more adaptive, risk-based regulatory paradigm, its implementation remains constrained by cross-sectoral regulatory fragmentation, jurisdictional limitations in the borderless digital economy, and insufficient institutional capacity and digital legal infrastructure. The harmonization of business law in the digital era ultimately depends on policy consistency, inter-agency synergy, and a sustained balance between fostering innovation and ensuring adequate legal protection for all stakeholders.

Abstract

Cash waqf (wakaf uang) represents a significant Islamic philanthropic instrument with considerable potential for productive economic empowerment and poverty alleviation. Despite an estimated national potential exceeding IDR 180 trillion annually, actual realization remains below 1% due to complex structural barriers. This study aims to analyze the strategic role of cash waqf in productive economic empowerment while identifying key constraints and optimization strategies within a maqashid syariah framework. Employing a qualitative descriptive-analytical systematic literature review, the research reviewed legislation, fatwas, institutional reports, and peer-reviewed articles published between 2015–2025. Findings reveal three principal results: (1) cash waqf possesses a robust legal foundation through Law No. 41 of 2004 and MUI Fatwa No. 2 of 2002, yet a significant implementation gap persists between legal norms and field practice; (2) primary constraints are systemic and interrelated, encompassing low public literacy, weak nadzir capacity, insufficient fiscal incentives, and digitalization deficits; and (3) effective optimization requires an integrated ecosystem approach comprising governance strengthening, digital platform development, and cross-sectoral institutional synergy. The novelty of this study lies in its integration of legal, institutional, technological, and literacy dimensions within a single unified analytical framework grounded in maqashid syariah — an approach not yet comprehensively undertaken in prior literature. The principal contribution is the formulation of an operational maqashid syariah-based cash waqf governance model relevant to the Indonesian context, alongside systemic policy recommendations actionable by key stakeholders.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the concept of maslahah mursalah, the views of ulama on its use, and its application in various cases in the sharia financial sector, such as financing with collateral. This research shows that maslahah murlah can be a legal basis that is relevant in a modern context, maintaining sharia principles, and meeting the needs of Muslims amidst global change. Maslahah murrasa is one of the principles in Islamic law which aims to create public benefit and prevent harm without conflicting with the postulates of sharia. This principle provides legal flexibility to respond in addressing the evolving needs of society in a sharia-compliant manner, especially in the sharia economic and financial sectors.
