Abstract

This study analyzes the competitiveness of traditional markets amidst the pressures of modern and digital markets. Using a case study of Batusangkar Market in Tanah Datar Regency, West Sumatra, the research examines technological adaptation, merchant strategies, and the implementation of Islamic economic values. The study employs a qualitative phenomenological approach, utilizing primary data collected via semi-structured interviews with merchants possessing over 30 years of trading experience. Data analysis followed Miles and Huberman’s interactive model encompassing reduction, display, and verification validated through theoretical triangulation and member checking. The findings reveal that Batusangkar traditional market faces a decline in trade activity driven by infrastructural deficiencies, shifting consumer behaviors, and low digital literacy among merchants. Nevertheless, Sharia economic values, specifically honesty (ṣidq), justice (‘adl), trustworthiness (amānah), and mutual assistance (ta‘āwun), persist as moral anchors ensuring business continuity. These values represent a unique form of non-material competitiveness absent in modern market systems. Consequently, from an Islamic economic perspective, traditional market revitalization requires a dual focus: structural strengthening (improving infrastructure, institutions, and digital literacy) and spiritual strengthening (reinforcing trade ethics and the principle of barakah) to establish a fair, inclusive, and sustainable market aligned with maqāṣid al-syarī‘ah.

Abstract

This study aims to philosophically analyze the dominance of the murabahah financing contract in modern Islamic banking through the perspective of Maqāṣid al-Sharī‘ah using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. A total of 15 scientific articles were selected after a rigorous screening process based on thematic relevance, methodological feasibility, and full-text availability. The results indicate that the dominance of murabahah in the financing portfolio of Islamic banks is primarily driven by profitability orientation and risk-management efficiency rather than ethical and socio-economic objectives of Islamic economics. Empirical findings reveal that murabahah significantly contributes to profit generation and financial stability in Islamic banks; however, its operational practice often deviates from the substantive nature of a genuine sale contract and drifts away from the principles of justice and public welfare. Based on a maqasid analysis, current murabahah practices have not fully reflected the higher objectives of Islamic law, particularly in relation to the protection of property (ḥifẓ al-māl), justice (‘adālah), and social balance. Therefore, this research highlights the urgency of murabahah reform through a maqasid-compliance approach as the foundation for reconstructing the paradigm of Islamic economics—toward a financial system that is not only formally sharia-compliant, but also substantively aligned with social benefit and ethical well-being.
