Abstract

As the backbone of the national economy which is still struggling with the financing problem, prior studies on the intention to use Islamic FinTech for MSMEs are still rare. This study aims to examine whether both the religiosity (R) and product knowledge (PK) on Islamic FinTech products and services affect the intention to adopt it or not. A total of 100 responses were collected using an online questionnaire and then examined using structural equation modeling (SEM). The results show that subjective norm (SN), perceived usefulness (PU), as well as R, and PK significantly influence the intention to get financing and use the services offered. It is indicated that Indonesian MSMEs actors are getting aware and knowledgeable about sharia compliance of FinTech products. Likewise, the influence of social norms such as religious leaders and or the business environment also strengthens the intention. This means that there is a need for continuous efforts from the stakeholders by cooperating with sharia scholars in improving the Islamic financial literacy in order to eliminate the doubts on the practical side. This needs to be followed by strengthening consumer data protection as well as providing incentives in order to enlarge the industrial market share.

Abstract

The halal industry is overgrowing, including in Indonesia, with the largest Muslim population in the world. Indonesia is ranked 19th as a producer and ranked 3rd as a consumer in the global halal industry. Although one of the halal certifications for MSMEs is free, only 1% of MSMEs in Indonesia are already halal certified. This study aims to analyze empirically the factors that influence the intensity of MSMEs in Indonesia to register for halal certification. A quantitative approach is used in this research by distributing questionnaires using the Likert scale to MSMEs. A total of 122 valid data collected were analyzed by adopting SEM-PLS. The analysis found that external factors had a dominant influence on the intention of MSMEs to register their products in halal certification, consumer pressure with a t-statistic of 4.328, and government policies with a t-statistic of 2.976. Moreover, one of the internal factors, awareness, is accepted with a t-statistic of 2.065. Meanwhile, benefits, competitors, and religiosity are not proven to affect halal certification. The data will help plan interventions from the government to encourage MSMEs to register their products in halal certification. The government should focus on assisting halal certification for MSMEs intensively.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of religiosity on household food consumption and food security in Indonesia, particularly among Muslim households. Despite the acknowledgment of religious factors in food-related policies, limited research has explored their specific influence on food expenditure and security. Using longitudinal data from the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) covering 2007 and 2014, this study analyzes food expenditure and food security levels among Muslim households, employing the Propensity Score Matching (PSM) model. The analysis includes variables such as age, education, marital status, employment, and gender. Findings reveal that religiosity negatively influences food expenditure, both in total and per capita, suggesting that religious households tend to spend less on food. Moreover, Muslim households demonstrate higher levels of food security, often reporting moderate or adequate food security, compared to non-religious households. This indicates a potential protective effect of religiosity on food stability. The study recommends integrating financial education programs that emphasize frugality and mindful consumption. Additionally, strengthening community-based support systems, such as zakat and sadaqah, could play a crucial role in improving food assistance and security.

Abstract

Corruption continues to pose a substantial challenge for corporations globally, including financial institutions that comply with sharia principles. Islamic banks must prioritize transparency and accountability, as these elements are essential for maintaining ethical governance and revealing their anti-corruption efforts. Despite the growing focus on Anti-Corruption Disclosure (ACD), corruption cases within Islamic banks continue to occur, highlighting concerns regarding the efficacy of Islamic governance mechanisms. This research analyzes the influence of Sharia Supervisory Board (SSB) attributes—namely, number, cross-membership, expertise level, educational qualifications, reputation, and rotation—on ACD. This research employs a quantitative approach, utilizing panel data regression to analyze Islamic banks in Indonesia and Malaysia during the period 2020–2021. The sample, chosen via purposive sampling, includes 16 Islamic banks from a total population of 37, according to established criteria. According to the results, ACD is considerably affected by the number of SSB members, but it is not significantly affected by cross-membership, expertise, educational background, reputation, or rotation. The results provide light on how SSB traits affect ACD improvement and add to the broader conversation on Islamic governance and company transparency.

Abstract

Health sector indicators are important basis of determining the overall state of a nation’s wealth and welfare. Apart from this broad and conventional perspective on the role of health, in many Islamic countries, health is also part of objective of ‘maqashid sharia’ that needs to be maintained to sustain life. Accordingly, countries invest substantial share of national resources to sustain critical health systems. Notwithstanding these commitments, health service delivery remains a major challenge in these countries, as indicated by the low average life expectancy and the high mortality rate caused by communicable diseases. This study aims to describe and analyze the factors influencing health outcomes, namely life expectancy and mortality rate, in Muslim countries using secondary data from 46 OIC countries from 2010-2018. Employing panel data estimation, the study finds evidence suggesting the important role of a nation’s wealth, health expenditure, educational achievement and the prevalence of smoking as important determinants of life expectancy in OIC countries. In particular, the results show that high incidence of communicable diseases in countries with lower than mean years of schooling and those with significantly wide prevalence of smoking habits may have contributed to high mortality in these countries.

Abstract

The development of ijarah accounting in Indonesia is in line with the growth of the Islamic financial sector which continues to show a positive trend. Compliance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (PSAK), particularly PSAK 107 on Ijarah Accounting, is crucial in ensuring transparency and accountability of financial statements of Islamic financial institutions. However, although PSAK 107 has been in effect since 2010, in-depth and sustained academic studies on this topic are still limited, especially in the Indonesian context. To comprehensively explore the research on PSAK 107, a bibliometric review was conducted using Scopus and Crossref academic databases. ScienceDirect and Emerald Insight academic databases were used for data updates, covering the period 2014-2024 for Scopus and 2019-2024 for Crossref. Article metadata from Scopus and Crossref downloaded on April 17, 2024 were processed using BibTeX and RIS formats with R Studio and VOSviewer software. This collaborative study categorizes research themes on PSAK 107 using metadata from 1187 articles indexed in Scopus and Crossref between 2014 and 2024. The mapping visualization results show that the dominant themes are PSAK 107 and Ijarah, while topics such as Accounting, Ijarah Contracts, Ijarah Financing, and Islamic Profitability are identified as potential research opportunities. Another important finding is the dominance of contributions from Malaysia and Pakistan, with very little representation of research from Indonesia. This indicates a significant literature gap on the implementation and development of Ijarah accounting based on PSAK 107 in Indonesia. In addition, a number of topics such as Sukuk Ijarah, Accountability, and Ujrah are relatively under-researched, thus offering great room for further scientific exploration. Therefore, this study emphasizes the urgency for researchers in Indonesia to fill the literature gap to strengthen local understanding and contribute to the global discourse of Islamic accounting.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of viral marketing, brand awareness, and trust on the purchase decisions of pro-Israel products in Banten Province. Anchored in the Stimulus-Organism-Response (SOR) theory, the research conceptualizes viral marketing and brand awareness as external stimuli (S), consumer trust as the internal organismic state (O), and purchase decisions as the behavioural response (R). The study employs a purposive sampling technique targeting individuals who previously purchased pro-Israel products but have since discontinued or become more selective in their choices. Data were collected through an online survey involving 278 respondents and analyzed using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) with AMOS 23. The results indicate that viral marketing and brand awareness have a significant negative effect on consumer trust. Furthermore, viral marketing, brand awareness, and trust each have a negative influence on purchase decisions regarding pro-Israel products. These findings underscore the mediating role of trust within the SOR framework, highlighting how consumer perceptions shaped by external marketing stimuli impact ethical decision-making. The study concludes that brands operating in sensitive socio-political contexts must carefully manage their marketing communications to maintain trust and consumer alignment. These insights provide valuable implications for marketers aiming to influence behaviour through ethical and culturally sensitive branding strategies.

Abstract

Islamic Microfinance Institutions (IMFIs) play a crucial role in delivering financial services to Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), thereby advancing financial inclusion and fostering economic empowerment. Despite their significance, IMFIs frequently encounter major constraints, particularly limited access to capital. In contrast, technological advancements have introduced innovative and efficient financing alternatives, most notably in the form of financial technology (fintech). This study investigates the potential for collaboration between IMFIs and fintech, with a particular emphasis on crowdfunding as a financing mechanism. It seeks to identify the benefits and opportunities, alongside the costs and risks, associated with the implementation of fintech-based crowdfunding as an alternative financing source for IMFIs. Adopting a critical review research paradigm and a mixed-method epistemological approach, the study employs two key methodologies: (1) the development of a typology outlining the benefits, opportunities, costs, and risks of collaboration; and (2) the application of the Analytic Network Process (ANP), using the typology as the foundation for model construction. Findings indicate that experts generally perceive the benefits and opportunities of such collaboration to outweigh the associated costs and risks. Notable advantages include enhanced access to capital and the cultivation of a more robust investment culture within IMFIs. On the other hand, key concerns include infrastructural limitations and the potential for capital loss. To mitigate these risks and maximize collaborative benefits, the study highlights the importance of strengthening institutional management across both IMFIs and fintech platforms.
