Abstract

This study aims to examine the long- and short-term effects of five key socio-economic indicators—school enrolment rates, infant mortality rates, unemployment rates, the human development index (HDI), and the Gini ratio—on Indonesia’s per capita income from 1993 to 2022. Using the Error Correction Model (ECM) and data from Indonesia’s Central Statistics Agency (BPS), the research reveals that school enrolment, infant mortality, and unemployment rates significantly affect per capita income in the long term, while unemployment and HDI demonstrate significance in the short term. In contrast, the Gini ratio shows no statistically significant effect in either timeframe. These findings underscore the multidimensional nature of poverty alleviation and socio-economic progress, emphasizing the importance of targeted educational, health, and labor policies. The specific contribution of this study to the international research field lies in its comprehensive, multi-decade evaluation of economic development dynamics in a major developing economy. By integrating diverse social indicators into a longitudinal ECM framework, the study contributes novel empirical evidence on the complex causal pathways between inequality, human development, and income generation. It offers comparative insights for policymakers and researchers globally, particularly those working in contexts with similar demographic, institutional, and development challenges.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the influence of waḍī‘ah savings, Non-Performing Financing (NPF), and Financing to Deposit Ratio (FDR) on the profitability (Return on Assets/ROA) of PT. Bank BTPN Syariah Tbk, focusing on its flagship product, Tepat Sharia Financing, over the period 2015–2023. Employing an associative quantitative approach, the research utilizes secondary quarterly financial data analyzed through multiple linear regression using EViews 12. The results demonstrate that waḍī‘ah savings have a significant positive effect on profitability, while both NPF and FDR exert significant negative effects on ROA. The model explains 75.91% of the variation in profitability. These findings highlight the critical role of liquidity management and credit risk control in ensuring the sustainability of Islamic microfinance-focused banks. The key contribution of this study to the international Islamic banking literature lies in its empirical evidence from a microfinance-driven Islamic bank model, which remains underexplored globally. It underscores how tailored savings products combined with responsible risk management can enhance financial performance, offering valuable insights for Islamic banks operating in emerging economies with similar socio-economic contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the feasibility of implementing zakat as a deductible component from individual taxable income, proposing it as an alternative fiscal policy for Indonesia. Employing a qualitative descriptive method with a library research approach, this research analyzes regulatory frameworks, fiscal policies, and zakat potential in Indonesia. The findings reveal that Indonesia's substantial Muslim population—87.02%—combined with the consistent 30.02% annual growth in zakat collection, presents a significant opportunity to institutionalize zakat as part of the national fiscal framework. Integrating zakat into the tax system could alleviate the dual financial burden on Muslim taxpayers while simultaneously enhancing fiscal equity and social welfare. The specific contribution of this research to the international discourse lies in offering a practical model for harmonizing religious financial obligations with modern taxation systems in Muslim-majority countries. It provides empirical insights and policy recommendations applicable to other nations seeking to leverage faith-based financial instruments within formal fiscal systems.

Abstract

This conceptual study aims to investigate the synergistic roles of zakat and taxation as fiscal instruments to promote equitable income distribution and foster economic growth within the framework of Islamic economics. Grounded in descriptive qualitative analysis and literature review, the research outlines how zakat and tax policies can be integrated to form a more just and sustainable fiscal structure. While taxes are recognized as essential for state financing and macroeconomic stabilization, zakat—though traditionally religious in nature—emerges as a viable counter-cyclical tool to support poverty alleviation, enhance purchasing power, and drive inclusive development. The study highlights the distinct yet complementary characteristics of zakat and taxes, emphasizing their potential to correct wealth disparities and stimulate productive investment through multiplier effects. By embedding Islamic moral values such as moderation, social justice, and prohibition of usury, this research offers an alternative paradigm for fiscal governance. The study contributes to global economic scholarship by presenting a faith-based fiscal model that may inform public finance policies in Muslim-majority countries and beyond. Future research is recommended to develop empirical models that quantify the macroeconomic impacts of zakat-tax integration and explore its application in diverse economic contexts.

Abstract

This research aims to present a systematic literature review of halal tourism using bibliometric analysis to map its conceptual development, research trends, and future research opportunities within the global academic landscape. Drawing on 262 publications from the Scopus database between 2010 and August 2024, the study reveals significant growth in halal tourism scholarship, particularly in the fields of business, management, and social sciences, with Indonesia and Malaysia emerging as the dominant contributors. Through VOSviewer visualization, the analysis identifies leading authors, influential institutions, and recurring thematic clusters. The findings also uncover critical research gaps, notably the underrepresentation of themes such as religiosity, sustainability, policy making, and customer satisfaction in the halal tourism discourse. These gaps signal the need for a multidimensional research approach that includes qualitative perspectives, socio-cultural frameworks, and policy analysis. This study contributes to global knowledge by offering a comprehensive research roadmap that integrates economic, cultural, and spiritual dimensions of halal tourism. It recommends that future research expand into halal ecotourism, tourism management, and traveller behaviour to ensure inclusive and sustainable development of the industry. The proposed agenda serves as a reference point for scholars, policymakers, and tourism practitioners worldwide to align academic inquiry with emerging needs and global market shifts in Muslim-friendly tourism services.

Abstract

This study aims to elaborate on the application of indicators of five lower-order constructs of maqāṣid sharī‘ah in measuring the satisfaction of Islamic cooperative members. Subsequently, the Social Exchange Theory is used to explain the relationships among reciprocity, trust, maqāṣid sharī‘ah, and satisfaction. This study uses a quantitative approach by applying a two-stage reflective-formative analysis of Partial Least Square – Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The data were collected from nine Islamic cooperatives in six provinces of Indonesia, where 247 valid questionnaires were processed and analyzed using SmartPLS software. The first stage of analysis confirmed that the indicators of five constructs of maqāṣid sharī‘ah (Religion, Life, Intellect, Lineage, and Trust) could be used as valid and reliable measurements for maqāṣid sharī‘ah. The second stage of the analysis found that maqāṣid sharī‘ah, together with reciprocity and trust, have a significant and positive influence on the satisfaction of sharī‘ah cooperative members. The results of this study can be generalized to the Islamic financial cooperatives. However, the application of the model to conventional cooperatives will require further research research. Consistent implementation of maqāṣid sharī‘ah would improve cooperatives members’ satisfaction and overall cooperatives performance. This study confirms that indicators and variables of maqāṣid sharī‘ah can be applied as measurements to analyze the satisfaction of Islamic cooperative members. It also provides empirical evidence of the application of Social Exchange Theory in the context of Islamic cooperatives, which has not been done by previous studies. Future studies are recommended to test this model in non-Islamic cooperatives, expand the dataset across Muslim-majority countries, and explore longitudinal impacts of maqāṣid-based governance on institutional sustainability.

Abstract

This research aims to explore the implementation, response, and economic impact of halal certification on culinary Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) in Burneh District, Bangkalan Regency, Indonesia. Employing a quantitative, field-based research design with a causal approach, data were collected through surveys and interviews with 12 SME owners across various business categories. The findings reveal that while awareness of halal certification and government support is relatively high, significant challenges remain in the certification process—particularly due to the lack of certified halal slaughterhouses and the complexity of procedural requirements. Despite these efforts, halal certification has not yet led to a significant increase in SMEs’ revenue, as most consumers—particularly in Muslim-majority Madura—do not actively verify the halal status of products, assuming all local culinary offerings are inherently halal. This study contributes to the global discourse on halal assurance by emphasizing the cultural, regulatory, and practical barriers to certification uptake in local economies. It recommends future research to investigate consumer behavior toward halal labeling and to assess long-term income impacts in regions with mandatory halal certification enforcement. Moreover, international comparative studies may further illuminate how halal certification contributes to economic empowerment across diverse Muslim communities.

Abstract

This study critically examines Qur'anic principles of wealth distribution as a potential solution to global economic inequality. Employing a qualitative, thematic tafsir-based analysis of selected Qur'anic verses, the research reveals that Islamic instruments such as zakat, infaq, sadaqah, and waqf (ZISWAF) offer a comprehensive and morally grounded framework for addressing structural poverty and socio-economic disparities. Rooted in the maqāṣid sharī‘ah paradigm, these mechanisms aim to ensure social justice by mandating ethical wealth circulation, protecting essential human rights, and countering the concentration of resources among economic elites. Despite their transformative potential, the implementation of these instruments in modern contexts faces challenges, including limited institutional transparency, fragmented regulation, and low public participation. This study contributes to global academic discourse by demonstrating how Qur'anic economic ethics can inform inclusive fiscal policies and sustainable development models. It recommends policy reforms integrating digital financial technologies, standardized zakat-wakaf governance, and stronger state–Islamic institution collaboration. Future research is encouraged to expand empirical evaluations of Islamic wealth redistribution mechanisms in diverse socio-economic contexts and to compare their effectiveness against conventional capitalist systems.   Penelitian ini mengkaji secara kritis prinsip-prinsip distribusi kekayaan dalam Al-Qur'an sebagai solusi potensial terhadap ketimpangan ekonomi global. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif melalui analisis tafsir tematik terhadap ayat-ayat Al-Qur'an yang relevan, studi ini menunjukkan bahwa instrumen Islam seperti zakat, infak, sedekah, dan wakaf (ZISWAF) menawarkan kerangka kerja yang komprehensif dan berlandaskan moral untuk mengatasi kemiskinan struktural dan kesenjangan sosial-ekonomi. Berakar pada paradigma maqāṣid sharī‘ah, mekanisme ini bertujuan mewujudkan keadilan sosial melalui sirkulasi kekayaan yang etis, perlindungan hak-hak dasar manusia, serta pencegahan konsentrasi sumber daya pada elit ekonomi. Meskipun memiliki potensi transformatif, implementasi instrumen-instrumen tersebut dalam konteks kontemporer masih menghadapi tantangan, seperti rendahnya transparansi kelembagaan, regulasi yang belum terintegrasi, dan partisipasi masyarakat yang terbatas. Penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi pada wacana akademik global dengan menunjukkan bagaimana etika ekonomi Al-Qur'an dapat menginspirasi kebijakan fiskal inklusif dan model pembangunan berkelanjutan. Reformasi kebijakan yang disarankan mencakup integrasi teknologi keuangan digital, standarisasi tata kelola zakat-wakaf, serta penguatan kolaborasi antara negara dan institusi Islam. Penelitian selanjutnya direkomendasikan untuk memperluas evaluasi empiris atas mekanisme distribusi kekayaan Islam di berbagai konteks sosial ekonomi, serta membandingkan efektivitasnya dengan sistem kapitalisme konvensional.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of electronic word of mouth (e-WOM), fashion trends, and income on the consumption style of the Muslim community in Palopo City, Indonesia. Utilizing a quantitative approach with data from 126 respondents aged 18–32 years and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), the research confirms that all three variables significantly affect consumption style. Fashion trends exhibit the strongest influence, followed by income and e-WOM. The findings highlight how digital culture, particularly fashion content on social media, reshapes consumer identity and behavior among young Muslims, often transcending traditional income-based consumption models. This research contributes to global consumer studies by integrating Islamic socio-cultural dimensions with digital sociology and consumer culture theory. It provides evidence that aspirational and performative consumption—mediated by influencers and online peer reviews—is increasingly prevalent in urban Muslim communities. The study recommends future research to explore longitudinal changes in digital consumption behavior, assess moderating variables such as religiosity and digital literacy, and conduct cross-cultural comparisons to evaluate the universality of these patterns across Muslim-majority and minority contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to provide a comparative legal analysis of consumer protection frameworks in digital Sharia banking in Indonesia and Malaysia—two countries at the forefront of Islamic financial innovation in Southeast Asia. Employing a normative-comparative legal method, the research examines regulatory structures, Sharia supervisory mechanisms, personal data protection, dispute resolution, and financial literacy provisions. The findings reveal that Malaysia’s centralized and integrated model, led by Bank Negara Malaysia and the Shariah Advisory Council, offers a more coherent and enforceable framework. In contrast, Indonesia's fragmented regulatory landscape—split between OJK and Bank Indonesia—presents challenges in institutional coordination and regulatory consistency. The study highlights how regulatory convergence in Sharia principles is tempered by divergence in enforcement and digital risk governance. By elucidating these legal asymmetries, the article contributes to global Islamic finance literature through actionable insights for cross-jurisdictional harmonization, particularly in Muslim-majority contexts. It recommends the development of hybrid regulatory models that integrate centralized authority with robust Sharia oversight and consumer protection mandates. Future research should extend beyond doctrinal analysis by incorporating empirical stakeholder data and exploring multilateral regulatory convergence at the ASEAN level.
