<![CDATA[A study on the differences in principles and operational mechanisms between Islamic banks and conventional banks in Indonesia revealed fundamental differences. Islamic banks conduct their business activities based on the principles of Islamic law, which reject the practices of usury, gharar, and maysir, and implement a profit-sharing and sales-based contract system, emphasizing fairness and transparency in every transaction. Conversely, conventional banks operate under positive legal frameworks and use the interest system as the basis for all their financial activities. From an operational standpoint, Islamic banks are not solely focused on profit maximization, but also prioritize social welfare values and equitable economic distribution.
