This paper aims to discuss the construction of proposed model on the Islamic financing mechanism of Islamic banking system for the agriculture and small medium enterprises sector. A qualitative approach used in this study employing the Participatory Rural Approach and Focus Group Discussion using Triangle Microfinance Concept. The result shows that the synergy of the various sectors ranging from the central government through the Institute of relevant Ministries e.i Ministry of Finance Ministry of Agriculture, Local Government, Non-Profit (Zakat) Organization (BAZNAS/LAZ), Universities, Non-Government Organisations, Supporting Institutions i.e. Islamic agriculture Insurance, Islamic Financing Deposit Insurance, and Rating Agency need to be synergized. Additionally, the distrust of Islamic banking industry is found to allocate a financing to farmers and SMEs actors.
