Abstract

Trade liberalization has reshaped the competitive landscape of Indonesia’s processed food industry, including halal food companies that must navigate market expansion while maintaining Shariah compliance. This study analyzes how halal food firms integrate the Value-Based Intermediation (VBI) framework into their international expansion strategies following tariff reductions and the removal of non-tariff barriers. Utilizing a mixed-method approach—combining quantitative analysis of trade and investment data (BPS and UN Comtrade) with qualitative case studies of Indofood and Mayora—the research reveals that firms are not solely pursuing economic efficiency, but also embedding Islamic ethical values such as social sustainability, local farmer empowerment, and halal assurance into their strategies. Key initiatives include the establishment of halal compliance units, alignment with Shariah-compliant financing, and the implementation of risk governance frameworks inspired by maqashid al-shariah. The findings confirm that VBI can serve as an effective strategic model to guide halal food companies in balancing global trade opportunities with their religious and ethical obligations, thereby enhancing both competitiveness and sustainability.

Abstract

The research is motivated by the growing importance of Islamic wealth instruments, particularly waqf, in promoting inclusive and sustainable economic development. The central problem addressed is the underutilization of waqf assets, which is attributed to limited public awareness, fragmented regulations, and a lack of integration with modern financial systems. Therefore, the study aims to investigate the models, instruments, regulatory frameworks, and technological innovations that facilitate the effective integration of waqf into Islamic financial planning. Employing a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach, the study identifies 70 relevant articles published between 2015 and 2025 using Scopus and snowball sampling techniques. The analysis involves bibliometric tools (VOSviewer and Publish or Perish) and thematic content analysis to map trends, collaboration networks, and knowledge gaps. The findings reveal four dominant themes: (1) direct and indirect waqf integration models, (2) innovations in waqf-based financial instruments (e.g., CWLS, unit trust waqf, waqf-based insurance), (3) the importance of national and global regulatory alignment, and (4) the transformative role of technology, such as e-waqf and blockchain. These insights affirm that waqf has evolved into a key pillar of Islamic wealth management, offering strategic solutions for economic empowerment and social justice.

In both countries, the capital market has experienced considerable fluctuations, particularly in the Islamic banking sector. The purpose of this study is to analyze the factors that affect firm value in the Islamic banking industry in Indonesia and Malaysia. The data used in this research are secondary data gained from the quarterly reports of each Islamic bank in Indonesia and Malaysia. The data analysis techniques employed descriptive data analysis, classical assumption testing, cluster robust standard error regression testing, and moderated regression analysis (MRA). The findings indicate that capital structure, firm size, good corporate governance and probability ratio has no significant effect on firm value. Furthermore, the profitability ratio is also able to moderate the relationship between capital structure, firm size, and good corporate governance on firm value.

Abstract

This study employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach to examine the role of Sharia-based financial inclusion in empowering the poor and fostering economic justice in Indonesia. The review analyzes eleven peer-reviewed studies published between 2020 and 2024, focusing on the implementation of Islamic financial instruments such as Sharia microfinance, zakat, Islamic cooperatives, and digital Islamic financial technology (fintech). The findings reveal that Sharia-based financial inclusion significantly contributes to poverty alleviation by increasing access to capital, promoting entrepreneurship, and improving financial literacy among marginalized groups. However, its effectiveness is often constrained by governance challenges, regulatory fragmentation, and inadequate digital infrastructure. The results underscore the importance of institutional collaboration, innovation in financial products, and inclusive regulatory frameworks. Integrating Islamic economic principles with national development strategies, along with enhanced financial literacy programs, is vital for achieving sustainable socio-economic outcomes. This study contributes to the literature by synthesizing recent findings on the strategic role of Sharia-compliant finance in promoting inclusive development and offers actionable insights for policymakers, practitioners, and Islamic financial institutions in designing more effective and ethical financial inclusion strategies.

Abstract

his study aims to explore how the integration of Islamic economic literacy and Hulondalo local values shapes financial independence among youth in Gorontalo. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, the study involved youth from diverse social and educational backgrounds as key informants. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation, and were analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing techniques. The findings indicate that Islamic economic literacy has not been fully internalized among Gorontalo’s youth; however, Hulondalo values such as tuwoto (hard work), mo’opo (frugality), modutu (mutual cooperation), and tulodo (exemplary conduct) serve as strong foundations for positive financial behavior. The integration between Islamic financial principles and local cultural values strengthens responsibility, independence, and moral awareness in personal financial management. This study highlights that local wisdom can effectively reinforce Islamic economic literacy in promoting financial independence among Gorontalo youth.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the level and forms of Islamic financial literacy among teachers at Pondok Pesantren Al-Kautsar Babeko.  Islamic financial literacy is important in the Islamic boarding school environment because teachers play a role not only as educators but also as role models in applying economic principles of Islam in daily life.  This research used a qualitative approach with a case study method.  Data were obtained through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation of several teachers who became research informants. Data analysis was carried out through stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing.  The findings showed that the teachers generally understand the basic concepts of finance, especially those based on Islamic principles, particularly in avoiding usury, gharar, and risky transactions.  However, some teachers still faced difficulties in managing finances in accordance with Islamic principles due to various obstacles.  Supporting factors for Islamic financial literacy included educational background in religion and teaching experience, while inhibiting factors include limited access to information and a lack of specific training in the field of Islamic finance.  These findings are expected to serve as input for Islamic boarding school managers and related stakeholders to improve the capacity of Islamic financial literacy among teachers.

Abstract

The main focus of this study is to understand why, despite PLS-based financing's advantages in terms of fair risk sharing and supporting long-term economic growth, its implementation is still limited compared to non-PLS schemes, which are considered simpler and less risky. Using an empirical approach based on data from Sharia financial institutions, this study assesses the relative contribution of the two financing models to real economic activity. The analysis was conducted through a comparison between PLS-based instruments, such as mudarabah and musharakah, with non-PLS instruments, such as murabahah, ijarah, and istishna. The result showed that PLS-based financing had a stronger positive influence on the real sector because it encouraged productive investment and fair risk sharing between funders and entrepreneurs. In contrast, non-PLS financing tended to be more dominant due to its lower risk and simpler operational mechanisms, but its link to real economic growth is relatively weaker. This study concludes that increasing the share of PLS-based financing can strengthen the sustainability and inclusiveness of the Islamic financial system. These findings offered important implications for policymakers, regulators, and practitioners in formulating strategies to strengthen the role of Islamic finance in sustainable real sector development.
