Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of Bank Syariah Indonesia financing on the output value of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia during the 2021-2023 period. Using a panel data approach, this study evaluates the effectiveness of Islamic financing in two main categories: working capital and investment. Data were obtained from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) and the annual reports of Bank Syariah Indonesia. The results show that working capital financing has a significant positive effect on MSME output value, while investment financing shows a lower effect. Control variables such as Third Party Funds (DPK) and labor also have significant contributions. With a coefficient of determination of 93.04%, this study emphasizes the importance of a more inclusive Islamic financing policy focused on working capital to support MSME productivity. These results provide implications for Islamic banking and policymakers to enhance MSME development through a strategic financing approach.

Abstract

This study explores the mechanisms of translation accounting and its relevance to the principles of the Islamic monetary system in addressing global inflationary distortions. The Islamic monetary system, which is based on the intrinsic value of commodity-based currencies such as gold and silver, offers greater exchange rate stability than the conventional fiat-based monetary system. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this study examines the role of translation accounting in converting financial statements across currencies and compares the stability between Islamic and conventional monetary systems. The analysis shows that the application of Islamic principles, including the prohibition of usury and speculation, can reduce exchange rate volatility, prevent economic distortions, and create financial statements that better reflect real values. This study concludes that the Islamic monetary system has the potential to be a sustainable alternative to address the challenges of global inflation and enhance international economic stability.

The Zakat Collection Unit (UPZ) is one form of institution involved in managing zakat. The method used in this research is a qualitative approach with an interpretive paradigm, which emphasizes an in-depth understanding of experiences and social phenomena that occur in the field. The results of the discussion in this research 1) The implementation of Zakat, Infaq and Sadaqah (ZIS) in the IAIN Madura Zakat Collection Unit (UPZ) shows structured and effective efforts in managing social funds to help the community. UPZ plays an important role in collecting, distributing and disbursing funds to mustahik with a focus on transparency, accountability and efficiency. 2) Law Number 23 of 2011 concerning Management of Zakat, Infaq and Sadaqah (ZIS) provides an important legal framework for management and utilization of ZIS funds in Indonesia. UPZ IAIN Madura has implemented several programs to support the welfare of mustahik in Pamekasan Regency, such as Smart UPZ, Healthy UPZ, and Clean UPZ. UPZ IAIN Madura strives not only to meet the basic needs of mustahik but also to empower them through education and health. It is hoped that through this effort, stronger trust will be established between muzakki and UPZ, so that it can increase the amount and quality of assistance provided to mustahik in Pamekasan Regency.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the fact that gender inequality in marriage is still an important issue in various countries, including from the perspective of Islamic marriage law and the provisions of Article 16 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). This research aims to analyse how the principles of gender equality are applied in Islamic marriage law and Article 16 of the UDHR, and to assess their relevance and implementation in the modern legal context. This research adopts a normative legal approach with a descriptive-analytical method. Data was collected through document studies, including analysis of legal literature, legislation and international conventions, and then analysed using qualitative data analysis techniques. The results of the study show that both Islamic Marriage Law and Article 16 of the UDHR contain principles of gender equality, although there are differences in interpretation and implementation that are influenced by local culture and legal systems. The findings of this study suggest the need for harmonisation between religious norms and human rights principles to support the realisation of gender equality in marriage law.

Abstract

Throughout Islamic history, there have been interpretations of the Qur'an that, instead of explaining Islamic law, have caused divisions among the people and even led to misunderstandings of Islamic teachings themselves. If examined further, the problem is caused by interpretations of the Qur'an in a way that deviates from the correct method and authentic sources. Seeing how important it is to know the methods and sources of interpretation in interpreting the Qur'an, this paper aims to discuss the specific methods and sources of interpretation, specifically in Tafsir Al-Madzhari by Qadi Muhammad. The approach used is a qualitative approach using a literature review in collecting data. The results of this study include: First, Qadi Muhammad Thanaullah Panipati was born in the city of Panipati. He is an expert in Fiqh and Hadith. Second, Qadi Muhammad's specific method in interpreting the Qur'an in Surah Ad-Dhuha is (1) mentioning the name of the surah at the beginning of the interpretation. (2) mentioning the type of surah (Makiyah/Madaniyah) and the number of verses in the surah. (3) including all verses from the surah being interpreted. (4) interpreting the Qur'an by explaining the reasons for the revelation of a letter or verse. (5) paying attention to the degree of hadith. (6) writing down the verse before interpreting it. (7) including the vocabulary or meaning of the verse. (8) interpreting using the rules of I'rab of the Qur'an. (9) using the munasabah of verses in interpreting the Qur'an. (10) explaining the meaning with the help of poetry. (11) mentioning the differences in Qira'at in the letter being interpreted. (12) mentioning the problems of fiqh. Third, the primary sources of interpretation in Al-Madzhari's interpretation of the Ad-Dhuha letter are eleven verses of the Qur'an without narrations, 23 Hadith of the Prophet, 15 Qaul Tabi'in. While the secondary sources of Al-Madzhari's interpretation of the Ad-Dhuha letter are four language rules, six sayings of the mufassirin and sufis, and one Arabic poem. Fourth, if viewed from the source of the interpretation, Al-Madzhari's interpretation falls into the category of interpretations based on the interpretations of the narrations (tafsir bil ma'tsur) because the narrations are more dominant than reason. Meanwhile, if we look at the tsaqafah and hadf mufassir, this interpretation is of a fiqh nature, because in addition to being a judge, he was also an expert in fiqh and hadith.

Abstract

A person's personality plays a significant role in determining how they learn and interact with the educational environment. One widely used personality theory is the Big Five Personality, which consists of five main dimensions: openness to experience, conscientiousness, extroversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. This study aims to analyze the influence of Allport and Cattell's Big Five Personality dimensions on students' learning styles at SMK Igasar Pindad. These personality dimensions are believed to influence how students absorb information and adapt to existing learning methods. The method used in this study is a quantitative approach with a survey design. Data were collected through a questionnaire that measures the Big Five personality dimensions and students' learning styles. The sample of this study consisted of 100 SMK Igasar Pindad students. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS software for Pearson correlation and linear regression tests to examine the relationship between personality dimensions and students' learning styles. The results showed that the dimensions of openness to experience and extroversion had a significant positive relationship with kinesthetic and visual learning styles, while the dimension of conscientiousness was positively correlated with a more structured and detailed learning style. On the other hand, the dimension of neuroticism showed a negative influence on learning styles involving high pressure, such as auditory learning styles that require high concentration in challenging situations. These findings provide important insights for educators to understand how students' personalities influence their learning style preferences, so they can design more effective and adaptive learning strategies according to student characteristics.
