Abstract

ABSTRACT          The rapid advancement of technology has led to the emergence of Islamic fintech as an innovation in digital financial services with the potential to enhance financial inclusion. However, public understanding of its use remains limited, resulting in cases of misuse and losses for users and companies alike. This study aims to analyze the factors influencing the acceptance of Islamic fintech using bibliometric methods. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data was collected through the Publish or Perish software and analyzed using VOSviewer to map the development of research on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) in Islamic fintech. The findings reveal significant growth in Islamic fintech journal publications in 2020, with "fintech" being the most frequently used keyword. Furthermore, the author analysis identifies Rabbani as the primary contributor. Research on the application of TAM in Islamic fintech remains scarce, but this model has proven effective in predicting technology acceptance. By understanding the factors influencing technology acceptance, companies can develop better strategies to expand their user base and enhance consumer trust in their services.

Abstract

In the era of digitalization, the Islamic community faces challenges in integrating modern technology with Shariah principles in financial transactions. This study explores the potential and implications of tokenizing Dinar and Dirham within the Islamic digital financial system. Dinar and Dirham, currencies made of precious metals, can be tokenized using blockchain technology, enabling faster, more secure, and transparent transactions. Tokenization offers benefits such as transparency, security, efficiency, and financial inclusion, which are crucial in Islamic financial principles. However, the main challenges include regulation, Shariah compliance, technological infrastructure, and public awareness and education. Case studies from Dubai and Saudi Arabia demonstrate efforts and successes in asset tokenization. This study concludes that tokenization of Dinar and Dirham has significant potential to address the challenges of digitalization in Islamic finance, but requires collaboration among governments, financial institutions, and communities. Further research is needed to understand the long-term impact and practical application of tokenization in the Islamic financial system.

Abstract

Technology continues to develop, this is proven by technological advances in the form of applications and online transactions. However, not all technology provides convenience and has a positive impact on its users if not handled properly. Therefore, this thesis aims to reveal the effectiveness of the online services provided by Pegadaian Syariah Siringo-ringo through the Pegadaian Syariah Digital Service (PSDS) Application Service in increasing the number of customers. The background to the problem in this research is that errors often occur in applications and services that do not comply with procedures. The data collection method uses qualitative methods with observation, interviews and documentation.The research results show that this application is largely operating according to its intended use, although it is not yet fully effective in facilitating transactions. This application is not really effective in increasing the number of customers because customers still have minimal knowledge regarding the function of this application. Then the increase in the number of customers did not increase too much, but there continued to be an increase every year, be it gold savings customers, pawnshops, etc.

Abstract

This research explores the potential and implications of tokenizing Dinar and Dirham in the context of Islamic digital finance, with a focus on the use of blockchain technology to facilitate their integration into the global financial system. The study adopts a qualitative approach, analyzing data derived from scholarly publications, online resources, and case studies from countries like the UAE and Malaysia, which are exploring blockchain-based Islamic currencies. The research examines the fundamental principles of Dinar (gold) and Dirham (silver) as intrinsic-value currencies within Islamic finance, highlighting their alignment with Sharia principles such as transparency, fairness, and the prohibition of riba (interest). Furthermore, the study explores the concept of tokenization, its application in the digital economy, and its potential to offer stable, inflation-free payment solutions.Key findings indicate that tokenized Dinar and Dirham can enhance financial inclusion, promote economic stability, and provide an alternative to volatile fiat currencies. Blockchain technology is identified as an effective platform for supporting these tokenized currencies, ensuring transparency, security, and decentralization in compliance with Sharia law. However, the research also identifies several challenges, including regulatory uncertainties, technological scalability issues, and societal resistance to adopting digital currencies. Drawing on case studies, the research highlights the importance of clear regulatory frameworks, technological advancements, and financial literacy programs to support the widespread adoption of tokenized Islamic currencies.The study concludes with policy recommendations aimed at addressing these challenges, emphasizing the need for a collaborative approach involving regulators, financial institutions, and technology providers. Future research directions include exploring the practical implementation of tokenized Dinar and Dirham and examining consumer behavior and the broader economic impact of these digital currencies. This research contributes to the growing discourse on Islamic digital finance and offers insights into how tokenized Dinar and Dirham can potentially reshape the future of finance in Muslim-majority countries. Keywords: Tokenization, Dinar, Dirham, Blockchain, Islamic Finance, Digital Currency, Sharia Compliance.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), investment, and inflation on poverty levels in eight ASEAN countries—Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia—from 2010 to 2023. Despite rapid economic expansion in the region, poverty remains a persistent issue. Using panel data regression (Panel Least Squares) with 105 observations, the analysis assesses how these macroeconomic factors contribute to poverty reduction. The results show that the overall regression model is significant (Prob F-statistic = 0.000000), with an R-squared value of 0.3708, indicating that 37% of poverty variation is explained by GDP, investment, and inflation. Investment has the strongest and most significant negative effect on poverty (coefficient = –0.950933; p < 0.01), suggesting that higher investment effectively reduces poverty through job creation and productivity gains. GDP has a negative but insignificant effect (p = 0.0976), implying that economic growth alone does not automatically lower poverty without equitable distribution. Inflation shows a positive effect (coefficient = 0.747921; p = 0.0652), indicating that rising prices tend to worsen poverty by eroding purchasing power. These findings highlight the importance of promoting investment and maintaining price stability in ASEAN poverty-reduction strategies.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of digital technology in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution has significantly transformed global financial systems, including the emergence of cryptocurrency as a digital currency and asset powered by blockchain technology. Cryptocurrency introduces a decentralized, transparent, and efficient transaction system without reliance on a central authority. However, its existence raises substantial debate regarding its functions, legality, and compliance with Islamic economic principles. This study aims to analyze the concept of cryptocurrency, its functions and characteristics, regulatory frameworks in Indonesia, and Islamic legal perspectives on its use as both a medium of exchange and a digital commodity. This research employs a library research method with a descriptive-analytical approach, utilizing data sourced from books, academic journals, government regulations, and fatwas issued by the Indonesian Council of Ulama (MUI). The findings indicate that cryptocurrency can function as a medium of exchange and an investment asset, but its high price volatility positions it more as a speculative instrument. In Indonesia, cryptocurrency is not recognized as a legal means of payment but is permitted as a tradable commodity under the supervision of Bappebti. From an Islamic economic perspective, cryptocurrency is considered prohibited (haram) as a currency due to elements of gharar and dharar, but it may be traded as a commodity if it fulfills the principles of clear value, clear benefit, and legitimate ownership. This study concludes that the use of cryptocurrency requires strong regulatory control and careful consideration to align with economic stability and Sharia compliance.
