Abstract

This study investigates the implications of Indonesia’s Value Added Tax (VAT) increase from 11% to 12%, effective January 1, 2025, on Sharia-compliant equity markets. Introduced as part of broader fiscal reforms, the policy aims to strengthen state revenue while exempting essential goods to minimize public burden. Using a qualitative exploratory approach, the study analyzes the impact of this fiscal shift on investor sentiment, market behavior, and sectoral performance. Results reveal that the VAT hike may reduce consumer purchasing power and corporate profitability, especially in consumption-driven sectors, thus increasing market volatility. Conversely, sectors such as healthcare, technology, and halal fintech demonstrate resilience and alignment with Sharia principles. From an Islamic finance perspective, the VAT policy is acceptable if it fulfills the objectives of maqasid al-shariah, particularly justice and protection for vulnerable groups. The study concludes that incorporating ethical investment frameworks and promoting strategic sectoral diversification can help Islamic equity investors manage risks and harness long-term opportunities amid fiscal tightening.

Abstract

Zakat distribution in Indonesia has generally been limited to material measurements, which often results in an imbalanced impact on mustahik , especially in the context of productive zakat. To address this gap, the CIBEST (Center for Islamic Business and Economic Studies) model is recognized as an effective tool for measuring both material and spiritual dimensions of welfare. This study focuses on productive zakat recipients ( mustahik ) under the auspices of BAZNAS in the Ajatappareng region, specifically in Parepare City and Sidenreng Rappang Regency. The research adopts a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative and descriptive qualitative analysis, while using the CIBEST model to evaluate the impact of zakat distribution. Findings reveal that BAZNAS distributes both productive and consumptive zakat—including cash assistance, business equipment, and staple food—alongside training, mentoring, and empowerment programs. Based on the CIBEST quadrant analysis, significant shifts occurred in the material and spiritual poverty classifications of mustahik . Before receiving zakat, households were distributed as follows: Quadrant I (10 households), Quadrant II (22), Quadrant III (0), and Quadrant IV (3). After receiving productive zakat, the distribution changed markedly to: Quadrant I (29 households), Quadrant II (6), Quadrant III (0), and Quadrant IV (0). A paired-sample statistical test showed a significant difference in household income before and after zakat assistance, with a p-value (Sig. 2-tailed) of 0.000 (< 0.05). These findings confirm that productive zakat distribution by BAZNAS has a positive and statistically significant impact on improving the economic welfare of mustahik in the Ajatappareng region.

Abstract

The implementation of mandatory halal certification in Indonesia poses significant challenges for Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs), primarily due to constrained financial, technical, and human resources, as well as complex regulatory frameworks. This study investigates strategic priorities to support MSEs in navigating the halal certification process by juxtaposing qualitative perspectives from key halal ecosystem stakeholders government officials, certification bodies, MSE practitioners, and halal influencers with insights generated through artificial intelligence (AI). Employing content and thematic analysis, the study addresses the core research question: “What should be prioritized to facilitate halal certification for Indonesian MSEs?” The findings highlight both areas of convergence and divergence between human and AI-generated perspectives, particularly concerning the practicality, scalability, and sustainability of proposed interventions. While stakeholders emphasize the need for institutional support, simplified procedures, and capacity building, AI contributes innovative, data-driven strategies such as automated compliance tools and targeted digital outreach. This integrative analysis offers a novel contribution by bridging human-centric knowledge with AI-enabled foresight, thereby informing evidence-based policymaking and operational strategies. Ultimately, the study provides a multidimensional roadmap for enhancing the accessibility, efficiency, and inclusivity of halal certification in Indonesia, particularly for MSEs that constitute a vital segment of the national economy and halal value chain.

Abstract

The issuance of sukuk—Islamic bonds—by local governments has emerged as a viable alternative for financing infrastructure and public development, particularly in regions with special autonomy such as Aceh. This study explores the benefits and challenges of issuing municipal sukuk by the Aceh Government in light of the province’s unique legal framework under Islamic law and the scheduled termination of Special Autonomy Funds by 2027. Using a qualitative library research method, this paper reviews relevant literature, government regulations, and secondary data sources to assess the feasibility of sukuk issuance. The findings reveal several key benefits, including access to more affordable, sharia-compliant financing; reduced dependency on regional budgets and conventional loans; and the promotion of regional financial independence. However, challenges persist, such as limited regulatory clarity, insufficient infrastructure readiness, and low public literacy on sukuk instruments. To maximize the potential of sukuk, policy support, public education, and financial ecosystem strengthening are crucial. The study concludes that sukuk can serve as a strategic financial tool for sustainable development in Aceh, aligning with both economic objectives and Islamic financial principles.

Abstract

This study explores the concept of profit accountability in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) from an Islamic accounting perspective, with a specific focus on SMEs in Bantaeng Regency, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Recognizing SMEs as vital contributors to regional economic development, this research addresses the limited understanding of how profit is perceived and managed within such enterprises, especially under religious and cultural values. Employing a qualitative field research design, data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving 29 SME actors and local cooperative agencies. Data validity was ensured through triangulation and assessed using the criteria of credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability. The findings reveal that SME actors tend to maintain informal and basic financial records. More importantly, the notion of accountability extends beyond human stakeholders to a spiritual accountability to Allah SWT, reflecting the integration of religious values in business practices. Profit, in this context, is not merely financial but also encompasses non-material dimensions such as health, social relationships, knowledge, and spiritual fulfillment. This study contributes to the literature on Islamic accounting by providing a contextual understanding of accountability and profit, offering insights for policymakers and practitioners seeking to support SME development in socio-religious settings.

Abstract

This article examines the concept and implementation of fractional reserve banking (FRB) through the lens of both Western economic thought and Islamic finance. Utilizing a qualitative methodology with a library research approach, this study investigates theoretical and practical differences between the two paradigms. In conventional Western finance, FRB is widely accepted as a mechanism that enables credit expansion, supports investment, and enhances liquidity within financial systems. Economists such as Mises, Keynes, and Rothbard offer varying justifications and criticisms of this system—ranging from monetary creation efficiency to moral hazards such as artificial credit inflation. Conversely, Islamic economic thought fundamentally challenges the legitimacy of FRB due to its connection with interest (riba), risk of gharar (uncertainty), and issues of dual ownership in deposit structures. Islamic scholars argue that the practice contradicts the principles of ownership (milkiyah) and justice in financial dealings, thereby undermining the ethical framework of Sharia-compliant finance. The paper highlights how the replication of conventional banking practices in Islamic finance raises concerns about authenticity and systemic risks. Additionally, it addresses the resurgence of proposals for full-reserve banking following global financial crises, suggesting growing discontent with the status quo. Ultimately, this comparative analysis reveals a significant philosophical and operational divide between Western and Islamic views on banking and monetary policy. The study contributes to ongoing discussions about ethical financial reform and provides critical insights into the viability of implementing fractional reserve banking in Islamic financial institutions.

Abstract

This study explores the strategic role of Muhammadiyah mosques as centers for community empowerment in the districts of Maros and Pangkep, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Utilizing a qualitative research design, data were gathered through in-depth interviews with 12 mosque administrators across selected Muhammadiyah mosques. The findings demonstrate that these mosques serve beyond their religious function, acting as hubs for socio-economic and educational development. Various empowerment initiatives ranging from entrepreneurship training, zakat and waqf-based programs, to informal education highlight the mosque’s expanded role in improving community welfare. Despite these positive impacts, the study identifies key challenges, including limited public engagement, inadequate institutional capacity, and a lack of understanding regarding the mosque’s potential as a driver for sustainable development. The research underscores the importance of structured management strategies and leadership training to enhance mosque-based empowerment programs. Furthermore, it emphasizes the integration of Islamic social finance instruments and participatory governance as critical enablers. The results contribute to the broader discourse on faith-based community development and provide a practical framework for policymakers, religious leaders, and NGOs aiming to optimize mosque roles in societal transformation, particularly within the Muhammadiyah movement. This study affirms that mosques, when professionally managed, can function as powerful agents for inclusive and sustainable development.
