Abstract

This research aims to analyze the relevance and competitiveness of traditional markets in West Sumatra from the perspective of sharia economics, with a focus on digital transformation, merchant innovation, and inherent social-spiritual values. The method used is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of 12 selected studies from the 2015–2025 period, which includes field research, case studies, policy studies, and literature supporting sharia economics. The thematic synthesis identifies four main themes: (1) the socio-economic structure and social role of traditional markets; (2) transformation and modernization challenges; (3) actualization of sharia economic value in traders' practices; and (4) the direction of empowerment and repositioning of digital-based markets and sharia cooperatives. The results show that traditional markets are still the backbone of the people's economy, but face pressure from modern markets and global digitalization. Limited digital adaptation, weak sharia institutions, and changes in consumer behavior are the main challenges. Empowerment strategies based on sharia digitalization, the establishment of sharia cooperatives, and strengthening market ethics are suggested so that traditional markets remain relevant, competitive, and socially just in accordance with the principles of sharia maqashid. This study makes a theoretical and practical contribution to the development of local economic policies based on Islamic values.

Abstract

This study analyzes the competitiveness of traditional markets amidst the pressures of modern and digital markets. Using a case study of Batusangkar Market in Tanah Datar Regency, West Sumatra, the research examines technological adaptation, merchant strategies, and the implementation of Islamic economic values. The study employs a qualitative phenomenological approach, utilizing primary data collected via semi-structured interviews with merchants possessing over 30 years of trading experience. Data analysis followed Miles and Huberman’s interactive model encompassing reduction, display, and verification validated through theoretical triangulation and member checking. The findings reveal that Batusangkar traditional market faces a decline in trade activity driven by infrastructural deficiencies, shifting consumer behaviors, and low digital literacy among merchants. Nevertheless, Sharia economic values, specifically honesty (ṣidq), justice (‘adl), trustworthiness (amānah), and mutual assistance (ta‘āwun), persist as moral anchors ensuring business continuity. These values represent a unique form of non-material competitiveness absent in modern market systems. Consequently, from an Islamic economic perspective, traditional market revitalization requires a dual focus: structural strengthening (improving infrastructure, institutions, and digital literacy) and spiritual strengthening (reinforcing trade ethics and the principle of barakah) to establish a fair, inclusive, and sustainable market aligned with maqāṣid al-syarī‘ah.

Abstract

This research examines the transformation of philanthropy in public spaces, shifting from the practice of street charity (sedekah jalanan) toward a sustainable Islamic social economy movement, utilizing a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. Out of 120 initial articles screened, 14 valid articles were analyzed to identify current patterns, themes, and practices. The review reveals four main findings: (1) street philanthropy functions as social capital that strengthens community solidarity and religious values; (2) spontaneous charity can be transformed into productive philanthropy through instruments like Zakat or Waqf (endowment), fostering the economic independence of recipients; (3) integration with Islamic social economy institutions, such as mosques and cooperatives, enhances accountability and sustainability; and (4) digitalization expands the participation of the younger generation and improves fund distribution efficiency. This phenomenon asserts that street philanthropy is not merely an act of giving, but a strategic instrument for socio-economic development rooted in Islamic values. This study concludes that strengthening coordination, transparency, and the integration of spiritual values with productive mechanisms can turn street philanthropy into a modern Islamic social economy movement that is inclusive, effective, and sustainable. These findings offer practical and theoretical contributions to the development of Islamic social economy literature and community-based philanthropic practices.
