Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the efficiency of the Islamic banking business in Indonesia, specially Islamic Rural Bank in Central Javas. As a component of Indonesia's Islamic banking ecosystem, it is critical to understand the extent those banks work optimally together to support the development of Islamic finance, particularly during the Covid-19 pandemic, and to realize public welfare, particularly through productive financing consistent with Sustainable Development Goals Objectives. In the periode of  2016 until 2020, this study examined a sample of  20 Islamic Rural Banks in central Java. The study was conducted using a non-parametric approach known as DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis). The intermediation strategy was used to determine the input and output variables in this study. Fixed assets, operational costs, and third-party money are included as input variables. Meanwhile, the output variable is made up of the quantity of finance granted and the amount of operating income earned. The findings of this study reveal that the efficiency of Islamic Rural Bank in Central Java has a shifting tendency across the 2016–2020 timeframe, with the average bank experiencing a decline in efficiency during the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, this study assesses the possibility for improvement of inefficient programs using input and output data. The primary source of inefficiency is in the output variable, particularly in terms of customer financing. Additionally, this research makes recommendations to a variety of stakeholders, including practitioners, academics, and regulators.

Abstract

This article explores the spiritual and neurological concepts related to the terms al-qalb, al-fu’ad, al-‘aql, and al-nasiyah in the Qur'an and modern science. Al-qalb and al-fu’ad refer to centers of feeling and intuition in Islamic tradition, where al-qalb is often associated with the spiritual and emotional core of a person, while al-fu’ad focuses more on inner aspects and depth of understanding. The concept of al-‘aql pertains to intellect or reason, encompassing the ability to discern, comprehend, and make wise decisions. Al-nasiyah, on the other hand, refers to the prefrontal cortex of the brain, which is responsible for behavioral control and decision-making. By comparing the meanings of these terms in the Qur'anic context with contemporary scientific findings, this article aims to demonstrate the alignment between spiritual perspectives and neurological knowledge regarding the functions and impacts of various centers of thought and feeling in humans. This analysis reveals how the metaphorical and literal meanings of these terms complement each other in a holistic understanding of the human soul and mind.

Abstract

This research explores the relationship between green finance and Maqasid Shariah through a study of the development of green sukuk in Indonesia. Green sukuk, as a Shariah-compliant financing instrument aimed at environmentally friendly projects, philosophically aligns with Maqasid Shariah, which emphasizes the protection of religion, life, intellect, lineage, and property. This study employs a qualitative method based on literature review to analyze the development of green sukuk since its first issuance in 2018. The findings indicate that green sukuk in Indonesia has shown significant growth, with an increase in issuances and funded projects, such as renewable energy and sustainable transportation. The implications of this research suggest that green sukuk not only contributes to sustainable financing but also strengthens the principles of Shariah within the context of modern Islamic finance. This study recommends an expanded green economic model based on Maqasid Shariah to support sustainable development policies in Indonesia.

One of the solutions to the courtesy crisis is wisdom (hikmah). This research analyzed Buya Hamka’s thoughts on solutions to the courtesy crisis through the wisdom method. The research employed a literature study method with a content analysis approach. Data was obtained from Buya Hamka’s works and books and journals related to Buya Hamka’s thoughts. Data analysis used three steps: compare, contrast, and criticize. The research revealed that Hamka defined wisdom as a harmony of interrelated meanings, where achieving wisdom was the main goal for those who attempted to learn it. Hamka offers several ways to gain wisdom, i.e., reading and understanding the Qur’an, thinking deeply, and imitating good behavior. The goals of wisdom include being wise in carrying out obligations, knowing the nature of things/the secrets of life, being able to adjust actions and knowledge, knowing God, and achieving happiness. According to Hamka, wisdom can solve the courtesy crisis by maximizing seven aspects of spiritual intelligence: al-ruh, al-qalb, al-nafs, al-aql, faith, worship, and courtesy. Spiritual intelligence is vital for maintaining mental health, ultimately forming a civilized person.Courtesy or adab is crucial in human life because it will influence many other aspects of life.

Abstract

Modern pesantren face significant challenges in managing Islamic educational institutions to remain relevant in the era of globalization without losing their identity. Transformational leadership is one approach that can be applied to ensure that pesantren can develop adaptively and innovatively. This study aims to analyze the role of transformational leadership in the management of modern pesantren, focusing on strategies for enhancing human resource capacity, strengthening financial independence, optimizing technology, and establishing strategic partnerships. The research method used is a literature study (library research) with a qualitative descriptive approach. Data sources were obtained from indexed journals, academic books, and relevant policy documents. The data were analyzed using content analysis techniques with a thematic approach to identify key patterns in the implementation of transformational leadership in modern pesantren. The results indicate that transformational leadership plays a crucial role in driving positive changes in modern pesantren. Through systematic strategies, pesantren can enhance human resource capacity through leadership training and certification, strengthen financial independence by managing business units based on sharia economics and productive waqf, and optimize technology in pesantren management systems. Additionally, partnerships with universities and industries create opportunities for pesantren to continue innovating and improving their competitiveness at both national and international levels. This study contributes academically to the discourse on pesantren leadership and serves as a foundation for further empirical research. It is expected that the findings of this study can serve as a reference for pesantren administrators in implementing more effective and sustainable transformational leadership.
