Abstract

Introduction:This study aims to analyze zakat management at the National Zakat Agency (BAZNAS) in the digital era, focusing on the role of information technology in improving the effectiveness, efficiency, transparency, and accountability of zakat management. As one of the pillars of Islam, zakat plays a crucial role in promoting social welfare and reducing economic inequality. Therefore, optimal zakat management is essential, especially in today’s digital environment. Methods:This research employs a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and document analysis conducted at several zakat management institutions. The study focuses on identifying how digital systems are implemented and the challenges faced in integrating information technology into zakat management. Results:The findings reveal that the integration of digital technology—such as online platforms, mobile applications, and integrated information systems—significantly contributes to the efficiency of zakat collection and distribution processes. Digital tools also facilitate the identification of mustahik (zakat recipients), accelerate the distribution of aid, and enhance public trust in zakat institutions through transparent financial reporting. Conclusion and Suggestion: The study concludes that digital transformation plays a pivotal role in improving the performance and accountability of zakat management. However, challenges remain, including limited digital infrastructure and the need to enhance technological literacy among zakat managers. Therefore, developing robust information systems, strengthening human resource capacity, and fostering collaboration among stakeholders are key strategies for realizing effective and impactful zakat management in the digital era.

Abstract

Introduction:This research is motivated by the importance of religiosity in shaping ethical business behavior, particularly among MSMEs in Pekanbaru City's Public Elementary Schools (SDN). In the context of increasingly competitive economic development, moral and spiritual values ​​are a crucial foundation for maintaining justice and blessings in business activities. Methods:This study employed a descriptive quantitative approach with a survey method. Data were collected through offline questionnaires distributed to 66 MSME respondents within the Pekanbaru City elementary school environment from September 2023 to July 2024. The study population comprised 193 public elementary schools in Pekanbaru City, and the sample size was determined using the Slovin formula with a 10% precision. Data collected included respondent characteristics (gender, age, education level) as well as indicators of religiosity and ethical business behavior. Results:The results showed that the majority of respondents were male (73%), with a productive age group of 30–39 years (47%), and a high school education level (55%). High levels of religiosity have been shown to be positively correlated with ethical business behavior. Business actors with a good understanding and practice of religion tend to be more honest, responsible, and fair in their trading activities. Conclusion and Suggestion: This study concludes that religiosity has a significant influence on the formation of ethical business behavior among MSMEs. Religious values ​​serve as moral guidelines for conducting business in accordance with the principles of justice and blessings. Therefore, it is recommended that local governments, religious institutions, and schools collaborate in providing education and guidance on Islamic business ethics for MSMEs within the school environment.

Abstract

Introduction: This study aims to analyze the influence of corporate governance and financial structure on the financial performance and value of manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). Good corporate governance is believed to improve managerial efficiency and investor confidence, while an appropriate financial structure can support company stability and profitability. Methods: This study uses a quantitative approach with secondary data obtained from the financial statements of 45 manufacturing companies listed on the IDX from 2015-2019. Data analysis was conducted using multiple regression methods to determine the influence of each variable simultaneously and partially. Results: The results show that board diversity and the number of board directors have a positive and significant effect on all financial performance indicators and firm value. The board of commissioners has a positive effect on Tobin's Q but a negative effect on ROA and ROE. The audit committee does not significantly influence firm performance or value. Meanwhile, leverage is shown to have a negative effect on Tobin's Q and ROA, indicating that increasing debt can actually depress firm value and profitability. Conclusion and Suggestion: This study concludes that board diversity and effectiveness play a significant role in improving firm performance and value. Conversely, excessive use of debt can reduce a company's efficiency and competitiveness. Therefore, companies are advised to strengthen their governance structure by increasing board diversity and considering the debt ratio in their financial policies. Furthermore, future research is recommended to expand the sample to other sectors and add moderating variables such as institutional ownership to enrich the analysis of the relationship between governance and firm performance.

Abstract

Introduction:This study examines the Hadith on the prohibition of hoarding goods (ihtikar) and its relevance to economic practices in the traditional market, particularly in Pasar Bawah Bangkinang Kota. The issue of ihtikar is highly significant because hoarding goods can disrupt market balance, cause artificial scarcity, and harm consumers, especially those from lower-income groups. Islamic teachings emphasize justice and fairness in economic transactions, and the prohibition of ihtikar serves as an ethical and moral guideline to prevent exploitation in trade. Methods:This research employs a qualitative approach using the library research method. The data were collected from classical and contemporary Islamic literature, including Hadith compilations, interpretations by scholars, and economic fiqh books. The collected data were analyzed through descriptive and content analysis techniques to understand the textual meaning of the Hadith and its contextual relevance to modern market conditions. Results:The findings reveal that the Hadith strongly condemns the act of hoarding goods for profit during times of scarcity, as it leads to market distortion and violates Islamic principles of justice and social responsibility. The moral values contained in the Hadith encourage market fairness, price stability, and protection of public welfare. Conclusion and Suggestion: The study concludes that the Hadith on ihtikar provides timeless guidance in regulating fair economic behavior and maintaining market stability. The values embedded in the Hadith should be internalized by traders, consumers, and policymakers to prevent unethical practices and promote social welfare. It is suggested that local authorities and religious leaders work collaboratively to promote awareness of Islamic business ethics, ensuring that traditional markets like Pasar Bawah Bangkinang Kota operate based on justice, transparency, and community well-being.
