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

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

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

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.

Abstract

Program Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (PKM) ini bertujuan untuk memperkuat pemahaman moderasi beragama di kalangan siswa-siswi Thamavitya Mulniti School, Yala, Thailand. Kegiatan ini dilatarbelakangi oleh kondisi sosial Yala sebagai wilayah multikultural yang rentan terhadap konflik identitas dan perbedaan pemahaman keagamaan. Metode pelaksanaan kegiatan meliputi tiga tahap utama: pre-test, pendampingan pembelajaran moderasi beragama, serta evaluasi dan monitoring. Pre-test dilakukan untuk memetakan tingkat pemahaman awal siswa mengenai konsep moderasi, toleransi, dan penghargaan terhadap keberagaman. Pelaksanaan kegiatan dilakukan melalui pendekatan interaktif seperti diskusi kelompok, simulasi, studi kasus, dan pembelajaran berbasis pengalaman. Sementara itu, evaluasi dilaksanakan dengan post-test, wawancara, dan monitoring berkelanjutan untuk mengukur efektivitas kegiatan. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan adanya peningkatan signifikan dalam pemahaman siswa terhadap nilai moderasi beragama. Data pre-test mengindikasikan bahwa sebagian besar siswa masih memahami moderasi sebatas sikap netral, tanpa mampu mengaitkannya dengan praktik hidup sehari-hari. Setelah program, hasil post-test memperlihatkan peningkatan kemampuan siswa dalam mengidentifikasi praktik toleransi, membangun dialog lintas iman, serta menghargai perbedaan budaya dan tradisi. Guru juga mengalami transformasi dalam metode pembelajaran, dari model konvensional menuju pendekatan yang lebih partisipatif dan inklusif. PKM ini menegaskan bahwa pendidikan moderasi beragama melalui metode pendampingan dan monitoring mampu menjadi strategi efektif dalam membangun perdamaian di tengah keragaman. Selain itu, keterlibatan aktif siswa dan guru memperlihatkan potensi besar dalam menjadikan sekolah sebagai pusat penguatan budaya damai di wilayah Yala. Program ini diharapkan menjadi model berkelanjutan yang dapat direplikasi di sekolah lain, baik di Thailand Selatan maupun di kawasan Asia Tenggara, yang memiliki karakteristik masyarakat serupa.

Abstract

School-based violence, including bullying and sexual violence, remains a critical issue within educational settings. Students’ limited understanding of its forms and impacts, coupled with a deeply rooted culture of silence, often causes cases of violence to remain undetected. This community service program aimed to enhance the literacy of students at SMK Negeri 14 Medan regarding bullying and sexual violence through an educational, interactive, and collaborative approach involving lecturers, students, and teachers. The program employed a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach and was implemented in three stages: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. Evaluation was conducted through pre-test and post-test assessments to measure changes in students’ understanding. The results indicated a significant improvement in students’ literacy, as reflected in the increase in average scores from the pre-test to the post-test, accompanied by greater willingness among students to report incidents and strengthened teacher capacity in fostering a safe and supportive school environment. These findings demonstrate that the PAR-based educational intervention effectively improved students’ awareness and contributed to the development of a more protective school culture.

Abstract

This study examines the Ketupat tradition, a Minangkabau food wrapped in young coconut leaves, through the lenses of eco-theology, public health, and cultural resilience. Employing a qualitative methodology that integrates in-depth interviews with 25 informants (15 entrepreneurs, 5 cultural leaders, and 5 academics), participatory observation, and textual analysis with data analyzed thematically using NVivo software the research was conducted across key centers of Minangkabau diaspora life in Padang (West Sumatra, Indonesia), Yogyakarta (Indonesia), and Negeri Sembilan (Malaysia). The findings reveal three interrelated dimensions. First, the use of natural leaf wrappers embodies the Islamic eco-theological principle of khalifah fil-ardh (humans as stewards of the earth), expressed through faith-driven ecological awareness among tradition bearers. Second, coconut leaves provide tangible health benefits by eliminating risks of chemical migration from plastic and styrofoam packaging, reinforcing community-based food safety rooted in natural materials. Third, Ketupat-making sustains cultural identity and social cohesion within diaspora communities through intergenerational transmission and collective rituals. Overall, the study argues that traditional food practices grounded in natural materials represent a convergence of ecological wisdom, health protection, and spiritual values, underscoring the importance of integrating local wisdom into sustainable food policies and national food security strategies Keyword: Ketupat  ; Ketupat; Minangkabau; eco-theology; traditional food systems; public health; cultural resilience; food packaging

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

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.
