Abstract

IntroductionThe global halal food industry, projected to reach USD 2.4 trillion by 2024, presents a substantial opportunity for regional economies such as North Sumatra. Despite the region’s rich culinary heritage, the development of its halal culinary industry faces critical challenges, including limited access to halal certification, low levels of product innovation, and inadequate adoption of digital marketing strategies. These limitations hinder the competitiveness of local small and medium enterprises in the creative economy sector.ObjectivesThis study aims to formulate a strategic development model for North Sumatra’s halal culinary industry using a values-based approach grounded in Islamic economic principles. It specifically integrates the Maqasid of Shariah framework as a benchmark for ethical and sustainable development.MethodThe research employed a qualitative methodology through in-depth interviews with ten key stakeholders, including halal culinary entrepreneurs, government agencies, academics, and religious institutions. Data were analyzed using Atlas.ti version 9 to identify key development issues, which were then evaluated using the Maqasid of Shariah Index. The model assessed three main dimensions: Tahdzib Al-Fard (individual education), Iqomat Al-Adl (justice), and Maslahah (public welfare).ResultsFindings identified digital marketing, product development, capital access, and halal certification as top strategic priorities. The Maqasid of Shariah Index score reached 67.90%, categorized as “Fairly Good.” Among the dimensions, individual development scored the highest, followed by justice and public welfare. This highlights the significance of capacity building and ethical governance in improving the industry's competitiveness.ImplicationsThe integration of qualitative analysis with the Maqasid of Shariah Index provides a structured and ethical framework for policy-makers and business actors. The findings offer practical guidance for implementing strategies that are both economically viable and religiously aligned, enabling inclusive and sustainable growth in the halal culinary sector.Originality/NoveltyThis study introduces an innovative model by combining a qualitative data analysis tool with a syariah-based evaluative index, a method rarely applied in the development of creative halal industries. It offers new insights into ethically grounded strategic planning for regional halal economic development.

Abstract

Social and economic transformations are prompting an increasing number of women to assume the position of primary earners within the household.  Despite its integration into contemporary social realities, this phenomena presents legal issues within the framework of Islamic family law and religious court traditions, particularly regarding the delineation of duties, rights, and obligations within the household.  This study seeks to examine the legal implications of Religious Courts about women as the economic foundation of the family, and to assess the degree to which the principle of gender justice is implemented in matters of maintenance, divorce, and child custody.  The employed methodology is qualitative, utilising a juridical-empirical approach, involving an analysis of pertinent Religious Court rulings and interviews with judges and individuals possessing firsthand experience with the matter. The research findings indicate a lack of consistency in the implementation of gender justice principles, wherein women's economic contributions frequently lack commensurate recognition and legal protection, particularly regarding post-divorce maintenance and the allocation of caregiving responsibilities.  These findings necessitate a rethinking of Islamic legal principles that is more responsive to contemporary social realities, including reforms in religious court policies that are more inclusive and gender-sensitive to secure substantive justice for women as major breadwinners.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the rapid development of e-commerce in Indonesia, especially the Shopee platform, which is one of the largest marketplaces in Southeast Asia. In a rapidly evolving digital ecosystem, it's important to identify the factors that influence consumer purchasing decisions. The purpose of this study is to analyze the influence of convenience, product quality, price, and promotion on purchase decisions at Shopee Berkah using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach. The research method used was quantitative with purposive sampling technique, involving 100 UINSU student respondents who had shopped at Shopee Berkah. Data collection was carried out through the distribution of online questionnaires, and data analysis using Partial Least Squares (PLS) with the help of SmartPLS software. The results showed that the price and quality of the product had a positive and significant effect on the purchase decision, with t-statistical values of 13.005 and 3.151 respectively (p-value < 0.05). Meanwhile, the convenience and promotion variables did not show a significant influence with p-values of 0.306 and 0.937, respectively. The research model was able to explain 84.8% of the variation in consumer purchasing decisions. In conclusion, in the context of Shopee Berkah, price and product quality are the main factors that affect consumer purchase decisions, while ease of use and promotional strategies have not shown a significant influence.

Abstract

This article explored the integration of Islamic economics into the economic life of the Minangkabau people, examined through historical and contemporary perspectives. Using a qualitative approach based on literature study and in-depth interviews, the research investigated how Islamic principles—such as justice, distributive equity, and sharia-compliant resource management—are embedded within Minangkabau socio-economic traditions. Historically, since the era of the Minangkabau Sultanate, Islamic values were institutionalized through customary systems and cooperation mechanisms that regulated economic relations and social solidarity. In the modern context, the dynamics of globalization have introduced Islamic financial institutions, sharia-based enterprises, and structured zakat and waqf management, which coexist with enduring indigenous practices. The findings indicated that despite challenges from conventional economic systems, the synergy between Islamic values and local traditions continues to support community empowerment, inclusive finance, and cultural resilience. This study contributed to Islamic institutional economics and indigenous economic thought by identifying three dimensions of integration: normative, institutional, and practical. These dimensions produce a hybrid model that is adaptive, resilient, and sustainable. Beyond its local relevance, the Minangkabau experience offers insights for Muslim societies worldwide, demonstrating how cultural authenticity and Islamic ethics can be harmonized with modern development to address global economic challenges.
