Abstract

The principles of Sharia economic law, rooted in Islamic jurisprudence, emphasize ethical and equitable economic practices. As Muslim-majority countries increasingly adopt Sharia-compliant financial systems, understanding their impact on economic growth has become crucial. This study examines the influence of Sharia economic law on economic growth in Muslim-majority countries from a global perspective. The research aims to analyze the relationship between Sharia economic law and economic growth, identifying key drivers, challenges, and opportunities for sustainable development in Muslim-majority countries. A mixed-methods approach is employed, combining quantitative analysis of macroeconomic data from 20 Muslim-majority countries and qualitative interviews with policymakers, economists, and Sharia scholars. Data were analyzed using regression models and thematic analysis. The findings reveal that Sharia economic law positively impacts economic growth by promoting ethical investments, financial inclusion, and risk-sharing mechanisms. However, challenges such as regulatory inconsistencies, limited financial literacy, and inadequate infrastructure hinder its full potential. Countries with robust Sharia governance frameworks and supportive policies reported higher economic growth rates. This study highlights the potential of Sharia economic law to drive sustainable economic growth in Muslim-majority countries. By addressing regulatory and infrastructural challenges, policymakers can enhance the contribution of Sharia-compliant systems to global economic development.

Abstract

Islamic microfinance offers an alternative, ethical approach to financial inclusion, especially for marginalized populations traditionally excluded from conventional banking systems. In the Caribbean context, where economic disparities persist and Muslim minorities face systemic challenges, the potential for Islamic microfinance remains underexplored. This study investigates the role of Islamic microfinance in empowering marginalized Muslim and non-Muslim communities in Trinidad and Tobago. The research employs a qualitative case study approach, combining semi-structured interviews with microfinance practitioners, community leaders, and beneficiaries across three local institutions offering Shariah-compliant financial services. Findings reveal that Islamic microfinance models—particularly those based on qard al-hasan (benevolent loans) and murabaha (cost-plus financing)—are perceived as more culturally inclusive, trust-based, and ethically appealing than their conventional counterparts. However, institutional limitations, lack of regulatory clarity, and insufficient awareness among beneficiaries restrict broader scalability. The study concludes that Islamic microfinance, when locally adapted and supported by policy and education, holds significant promise for advancing socio-economic empowerment in Caribbean plural societies. This case contributes to the growing discourse on Islamic social finance in non-Muslim-majority regions and highlights its relevance in fostering inclusive development models.

Abstract

The integration of Shariah principles with corporate social responsibility (CSR) has gained prominence as businesses strive to align ethical practices with Islamic values. Indonesia and Malaysia, as leading Muslim-majority economies with robust Islamic finance sectors, offer unique insights into how Shariah compliance influences CSR frameworks. However, comparative studies on CSR practices among Shariah-compliant businesses in these countries remain limited, particularly in addressing cultural, regulatory, and theological divergences. This study aims to analyze and compare CSR practices in Shariah-compliant businesses in Indonesia and Malaysia, focusing on their alignment with Islamic ethical principles, stakeholder engagement, and contributions to sustainable development. A mixed-methods approach is employed, combining quantitative analysis of CSR reports from 50 companies (25 per country) and qualitative interviews with 20 stakeholders (executives, Shariah scholars, and CSR experts). Data were analyzed using thematic analysis and comparative statistical tools. The findings reveal that Malaysian businesses exhibit more standardized CSR frameworks rooted in stringent Shariah governance, emphasizing environmental sustainability and ethical governance. Indonesian businesses prioritize community-driven initiatives, reflecting local socio-cultural contexts. Both countries align CSR with Islamic principles like zakat and maslahah, but Malaysia’s regulatory ecosystem enhances accountability, while Indonesia’s approach is more decentralized and adaptive.

Abstract

The rapid growth of Shariah banking in Indonesia has prompted significant regulatory developments to align financial practices with Islamic principles. However, the legal framework governing Shariah banking remains complex, raising questions about its effectiveness in fostering financial regulation and market development. This study examines the legal structure of Shariah banking in Indonesia, focusing on its implications for financial regulation and its role in promoting sustainable market growth. The research aims to identify gaps in the current legal framework and propose recommendations for enhancing regulatory coherence and market competitiveness. Using a qualitative approach, this study analyzes legal documents, regulatory policies, and secondary data from authoritative sources, complemented by interviews with key stakeholders in the Shariah banking sector. The findings reveal that while Indonesia has established a comprehensive legal framework for Shariah banking, challenges such as regulatory fragmentation, limited enforcement mechanisms, and insufficient integration with global Shariah standards persist. These issues hinder the sector's potential to contribute fully to financial inclusion and economic development. The study concludes that strengthening the legal framework through harmonized regulations, enhanced enforcement, and greater alignment with international Shariah standards is crucial for the sustainable growth of Shariah banking in Indonesia. This research contributes to the discourse on Islamic finance by providing insights into the interplay between legal frameworks, financial regulation, and market development in emerging economies.

Abstract

Zakat, one of the five pillars of Islam, is a mandatory form of almsgiving aimed at redistributing wealth and promoting economic justice. In Indonesia, the world’s largest Muslim-majority country, zakat has the potential to significantly impact income distribution and reduce poverty. However, its effectiveness is often hindered by inefficiencies in collection, distribution, and utilization. This study examines the impact of zakat on income distribution in Indonesia, focusing on its role in reducing economic inequality and promoting social welfare. The research aims to identify the challenges and opportunities associated with zakat management and propose strategies for enhancing its effectiveness. Using a mixed-methods approach, this study combines quantitative analysis of income distribution data with qualitative interviews with zakat institutions, beneficiaries, and policymakers. Data were analyzed to assess the impact of zakat on poverty alleviation, income inequality, and economic empowerment. The findings reveal that zakat has a modest but positive impact on income distribution, particularly in rural areas. However, inefficiencies in collection and distribution, as well as a lack of transparency, limit its potential to achieve broader economic justice. The study concludes that improving zakat management through better governance, transparency, and targeted distribution strategies is essential for maximizing its impact on income distribution. This research contributes to the discourse on Islamic economics by providing practical recommendations for enhancing the role of zakat in promoting economic justice and social welfare in Indonesia.
