Abstract

Introduction: This study aims to analyze the marketing communication strategy of gold installment products in Islamic banking to increase the number of customers. Research Methods: The research method used is qualitative, with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, observations, and document review. Results: The study results show that an effective marketing communication strategy combines traditional and digital media, sharia-based product education, and a personal approach that builds customer trust. The strategic advantages include compliance with sharia principles, product innovation relevant to market needs, responsive service, and consistent communication. These findings enrich the previous literature by providing empirical evidence that the success of gold installment products is determined by the attractiveness of gold investments and the effectiveness of marketing communication strategies that can build customer understanding and loyalty. Conclusion: This study recommends improving Islamic financial literacy, enhancing digital promotion, and building strategic partnerships to expand the market. These efforts are expected to make gold installment products competitive and sustainable Sharia investment instruments in the modern financial industry.

Abstract

Introduction: This study looks into how Value-Based Intermediation (VBI) is framed and implemented in the context of Islamic finance in Malaysia, especially through the efforts of Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM). VBI, which was introduced by BNM in 2017, is an initiative that aims to bring Islamic banking back to its original ethical foundations. It focuses on achieving the higher objectives of Shariah (Maqasid al-Shariah) by promoting practices that generate real, positive impact on the economy, society, and environment without sacrificing financial performance. Research Methods: The research uses qualitative methods, mainly by analysing documents such as the VBI strategy paper and other related guidelines issued by BNM. Results: The study identifies the VBIAF and VBI Scorecard as key instruments that support the integration of value-based principles in Islamic financial institutions. Despite this progress, challenges remain, particularly in shifting the industry’s profit-oriented mindset. The findings also confirm that VBI aligns closely with Maqasid al-Shariah and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Conclusion: The study highlights VBI’s potential to transform Malaysia’s Islamic finance landscape toward a more sustainable, value-driven, and impactful system.

Abstract

Introduction: Geopolitical conflicts that have occurred since 2023, especially between Israel and Palestine, and Israel and Iran, have created significant pressure on global financial market stability. This study evaluates and compares the response and volatility of Islamic stock indices (the Dow Jones Islamic Market) and conventional stock indices (the MSCI World) to those of two major geopolitical events. Research Methods: Using the event-based EGARCH(1,1) model and daily data for the period from January 2023 to June 2025, this study also included macroeconomic control variables such as VIX, USDX, gold prices, and oil prices in the analysis. Results:The results show that DJIM tends to be more responsive to global risk indicators (such as VIX and USDX), but relatively stable to the direct impact of conflict, while the MSCI World shows greater sensitivity to oil price fluctuations. Both indices show persistent and asymmetric volatilities. However, DJIM exhibits a stronger stability in the face of external uncertainty. Conclusion: This study makes an important contribution to the understanding of the resilience of the Sharia market and offers a new methodological approach for examining the dynamics of global conflict. These findings are relevant for investors, regulators, and policymakers to build more resilient and ethical investment strategies.

Abstract

Introduction: This study investigates the short- and long-term relationship between Islamic banking development and Indonesia’s economic growth. Despite Indonesia operating a dual banking system, empirical research on Islamic finance and growth remains limited. Understanding this connection is crucial for leveraging Islamic finance as a driver of sustainable development. Research Methods: Using quarterly data from 2015 to 2024, the study examines the dynamic links among Islamic financing, GDP, and gross fixed capital formation (GFCF). The ARDL bounds testing approach, cointegration analysis, and error correction model (ECM) are employed to identify both short- and long-run relationships. Model stability is validated using CUSUM and CUSUMSQ tests. Results: The results reveal a strong long-term relationship between Islamic financial development, capital accumulation, and economic growth, supporting the supply-leading hypothesis. Short-term effects are positive but statistically insignificant. Model stability tests confirm structural consistency over time. Conclusion: These findings emphasize the potential of Islamic finance to promote sustainable economic development and provide guidance for policymakers seeking to enhance financial inclusion and resilience.

Abstract

Introduction: This study compares the financial performance of BPRS Adeco and BPRS Serambi Mekkah during 2019–2024 using ROA, BOPO, NPF, and FDR indicators. The study is important to evaluate the effectiveness and financial health of Islamic rural banks. Research Methods: This research uses a quantitative descriptive comparative approach.

However, there is no significant difference in NPF performance (p > 0.05), indicating similar financing quality between the two banks. Conclusion: BPRS Adeco has better financial performance compared to BPRS Serambi Mekkah. The findings highlight the importance of efficient operations and balanced liquidity management in maintaining the sustainability of Islamic rural banks.

Abstract

Introduction: This study examines the effects of intellectual capital efficiency and leverage on the financial performance of Indonesian Islamic commercial banks, with bank size as a moderating variable. It addresses inconsistent prior findings by testing whether bank scale explains differences in the performance effects of intangible resources and financial structure. Research Methods: Using balanced panel data from nine Islamic commercial banks during 2019–2023, this study analyzes 45 bank-year observations. Financial performance is proxied by lnROA, intellectual capital by VAIC, leverage by DER, and bank size by ln(total assets). The data are analyzed using panel-based moderated regression. Results: The Random Effect Model shows that VAIC positively affects financial performance (β = 0.5449; p < 0.001), while DER has no significant direct effect (β = -0.0418; p = 0.5927). Bank size does not moderate the VAIC-performance relationship (β = 0.1626; p = 0.2663), but negatively moderates the DER-performance relationship (β = -0.2780; p < 0.001). Conclusion: The study contributes by applying panel-based moderation analysis to Islamic bank performance. Islamic banks should strengthen intellectual capital and manage leverage prudently as bank scale increases.

Abstract

Introduction: Financial performance is a key indicator of the sustainability and competitiveness of Islamic Commercial Banks in Indonesia. Previous studies have reported inconsistent findings on the effects of zakat and murabahah financing on bank profitability, while limited research has simultaneously examined their impacts on Return on Assets (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE) using legitimacy theory. This study investigates their influence on Islamic bank performance. Research Methods: A quantitative approach was employed using panel data regression analysis on eight Islamic Commercial Banks selected through purposive sampling during 2019–2023. Results: Zakat (β = 0.000214; p = 0.0421) and murabahah financing (β = 0.000543; p = 0.0158) positively and significantly affect ROA but have no significant effect on ROE. The ROA model explains 45.20% of the variation in profitability, whereas the ROE model explains only 6.50%. Conclusion: Zakat and murabahah financing improve asset utilization efficiency and strengthen organizational legitimacy, although their contribution to shareholder return efficiency remains limited.
