Abstract

Islamic economics and finance have gained momentum globally due to the increasing demand for financial products that are aligned with Islamic principles. Islamic economics and finance have gained significant attention in India in recent years, with the Muslim population comprising approximately 14% of the total population. However, the implementation of Islamic finance in India faces several obstacles, including a lack of regulatory framework, the absence of a legal framework and tax incentives, and a lack of awareness and education about Islamic finance. These obstacles lead to a lack of demand for Islamic financial transactions and services. The paper concludes that the development of Islamic finance in India has significant potential for the country’s financial sector but requires a comprehensive approach that addresses the legal, regulatory, and social challenges. The country’s large Muslim population is underserved by the traditional banking system. Islamic finance could provide an alternative to conventional banking for this population. Moreover, the Indian government’s recent push toward financial inclusion provides a platform for Islamic finance to contribute to the country’s economic development. The present study will analyze the opportunities and obstacles in Islamic economics and finance in India by using mixed methods and political economy approaches in research methodology.

Abstract

The trend and evolution of cosmetics among Indonesian women continues and never recedes from time to time, especially in the current era. With the many choices of cosmetic products, consumers often feel confused in determining which products to use. Consumers consider many things before buying something, such as price, halal labeling, packaging. This study aims to determine the application of the AHP method to the selection of cosmetic brands with the criteria of halal labeling, packaging, and price. By using the Quantitative method, data collection was carried out through an online Questionnaire (Google Form) which was distributed to all female students of UIN Alauddin Makassar with a sample of 100 respondents who met the research requirements. This study uses the AHP method and is tested or analyzed using Microsoft Excel. The results of the study show that Price is the most dominant factor influencing consumer decisions in choosing cosmetic brands, followed by Halal Labeling and Packaging. Based on the results of the study, manufacturers should pay more attention to the Price aspect to increase competitiveness in the market. Then halal labeling and packaging can be attempted to improve product quality so that it will strengthen consumer purchasing decisions in buying a product.

Abstract

This study aims to map the development of scientific research on Sharia Savings and Loan Cooperatives (KSPPS) in Indonesia by utilizing a bibliometric approach supported by VOSviewer software. Sources of information were obtained from Google Scholar with a publication period between 2019 and 2025. The collection process was carried out using the keyword “KSPPS” along with variations of related terms, which were then filtered to obtain relevant documents in Indonesian. The analysis was conducted by mapping co-authorship, co-occurrence, and citation analysis to identify trends, major themes, prolific authors, and institutions that play an important role in the development of KSPPS research. The results showed that the frequency of publications has increased since 2020, with the most discussed themes including Islamic microfinance management, cooperative governance, and financial literacy. In addition, it was revealed that the network of cooperation between authors is still minimal, indicating the importance of increasing research collaboration between various institutions. This study provides an initial insight into the orientation and shortcomings of Islamic microfinance research, and can serve as a guideline for academics, researchers, and regulators in setting research and policy agendas in the field of Islamic microfinance

Abstract

In fulfilling their needs, humans are governed by laws established by Allah SWT, which regulate relationships between individuals and their Creator as well as among individuals themselves. Islam reminds humans not to harm one another, and exchanging goods within society is considered a fair means of meeting needs. The unified and codified regulations in fiqh mu’amalah cover various aspects of economic activity, including buying and selling (al-ba’i), which refers to the exchange of property based on mutual consent or the transfer of ownership with lawful compensation. According to Sulaimān al-Asyqar, buying and selling involves the exchange of property or benefits resulting in the transfer of ownership rights. One contemporary practice within this system is the use of a down payment or earnest money serving as a binding sign of agreement, where the buyer pays a portion of the price as a guarantee and is given a deadline to pay the remainder. This paper explains that earnest money is a payment or item given by a prospective buyer to a seller as confirmation that the transaction will proceed, and if the buyer cancels the agreement, the earnest money cannot be reclaimed.

Abstract

The growth of the Islamic economy in Indonesia has been quite rapid in recent years. This is accompanied by growth in financial institutions, both banking and non-banking. This can be seen in the increasingly innovative contracts, such as the now-popular multi-contracts. To the point that one of the tabarru' contracts, which has the meaning of mutual assistance, exists in Islamic insurance institutions, now feels like a tijaroh contract that spices up the transaction with profit. The purpose of this study is to examine the tabarru' contract carried out by Islamic insurance institutions and critique it through the tabarru' theory approach from the perspective of muamalah fiqh. Using qualitative research methods, using secondary data sources, the researcher attempted to describe the content of the data collection technique using deductive documentation methods. He found that insurance institutions still feel like capitalism labeled as sharia. He also concluded that the institution of zakat, infaq, shodaqoh, and waqf (ZISWAF) can be the best solution for Muslims to truly help each other.

Abstract

This study aims to systematically analyze the literature related to the transparency and accountability of Islamic pension funds. Using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach with the PRISMA protocol, this study identifies Islamic pension fund management practices, financial reporting mechanisms, the role of the Sharia Supervisory Board (SSB), technology implementation, and Sharia audit standards. A literature search was conducted in the Scopus, Web of Science, Emerald, EBSCO, and SINTA databases, covering the period 2013-2024, yielding 25 relevant articles for analysis after a screening process. The results indicate that the transparency of Islamic pension funds still faces challenges in terms of reporting standardization, investment information disclosure, and Sharia supervision. The integration of technologies such as blockchain and AI is beginning to be implemented to enhance transparency, although this is still limited to countries with advanced Islamic financial systems. This study contributes to the development of a comprehensive accountability framework for Islamic pension funds and identifies areas for future research in the context of the evolution of the global Islamic finance industry.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the business and operational strategies of the Pasean petis business as an effort to strengthen the local economy in Pasean District, Pamekasan Regency. Petis Pasean is a processed fish product typical of Madura that has great potential to be developed as a superior regional product. Through a descriptive qualitative approach, data was collected through interviews, observations, and documentation studies of business actors, especially the Bu Siti Fish Petis producer. The results of the analysis show that the current strategy is still traditional, with limitations in marketing, production management, and resource management. However, there is a great opportunity for development through product innovation, brand strengthening, and the use of digital media as a means of promotion. From an operational perspective, production efficiency and raw material quality are the keys to increasing competitiveness. In conclusion, strengthening business and operational strategies in an integrated manner has the potential to encourage the growth of the Pasean petis business and make a significant contribution to the local economy.
