Abstract

This research aims to develop a strategy for developing mosque business units to empower the people's economy, with a focus on SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis at the Oman Al-Makmur Mosque. This research uses a descriptive analytical approach to identify weaknesses and opportunities in the context of mosque business units. The SWOT analysis method is applied to evaluate the internal and external conditions of mosques in order to optimize the potential of existing business units. The weakness-opportunity (WO) strategy is an approach used to overcome existing weaknesses by taking advantage of available opportunities. This strategy aims to reduce the impact of internal weaknesses by taking advantage of favorable external conditions, so as to achieve better results in business unit development. The research results show that although the Oman Al-Makmur Mosque faces several weaknesses such as limited capital and human resources, there are significant opportunities to develop business units through the use of community networks and technological support. The proposed WO strategy includes improving management skills, and utilizing technology to increase operational efficiency. By implementing this strategy, it is hoped that the mosque business unit can contribute more to the economic empowerment of the congregation, improve the welfare of the surrounding community, and strengthen the role of mosques in local economic development.

Abstract

This study explores the intersection of Maqasid al-Shariah (the objectives of Islamic law) and environmental sustainability, focusing on its implications within Islamic economics. Recognizing the increasing global challenges related to environmental degradation, this research highlights the essential role of Islamic principles in fostering sustainable economic practices. The Maqasid al-Shariah, which prioritize the preservation of life, intellect, lineage, wealth, and faith, inherently support environmental stewardship as a means to achieve balance and harmony. This study used a qualitative content analysis approach to investigate the integration of Maqasid al-Shariah and environmental sustainability in Islamic economics. Data was gathered from secondary sources, including peer-reviewed articles, policy documents, and reports from Islamic financial institutions. By examining Islamic teachings, ethical frameworks, and financial instruments such as green sukuk, the study demonstrates how Islamic economics can contribute to addressing environmental challenges. This work underscores the potential of faith-based economic systems to lead global efforts toward sustainability, advocating for a paradigm shift that integrates spirituality, ethics, and economic decision-making for the betterment of society and the planet.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of rising gold prices on the Acehnese community's investing behavior, as well as explore the issue from an Islamic economic perspective. Gold is a popular investment product in Aceh due to its perceived stability and conformity to Sharia rules. Changes in investing patterns, including increased interest and altering strategies, have been prompted by the notable increase in gold prices in recent years. This study used a qualitative-descriptive methodology by observing and interviewing local investors. The results showed that while rising gold prices motivate the community to make long-term investments more actively, they also cause speculative tendencies that might be contrary to the Islamic precept of prudence. According to Islamic economic theory, gold investments are acceptable provided they are made with the intention of protecting wealth (hifzh al-mal) and do not include any aspects of gambling (maysir), uncertainty (gharar), or usury (riba). Therefore, Islamic financial literacy is essential to ensure that the community invests wisely and in accordance with the principles of maqasid al-sharia.

Abstract

This study examines the effect of halal certification on consumer loyalty with consumer trust as a mediating variable in Banda Aceh City, an area known for its high level of compliance with Islamic values and the implementation of sharia. Although halal certification has become a standard requirement in product legitimacy, its effectiveness in building long-term consumer loyalty still depends heavily on the level of trust given by consumers to the certification process. The purpose of this study was to determine whether halal certification has a direct effect on consumer loyalty, and whether the relationship is mediated by consumer trust. This study uses a quantitative approach with an explanatory research design. Data were collected through structured questionnaires distributed to 150 Muslim consumers using a purposive sampling technique. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS through multiple regression and the Sobel test to test the mediation effect. The results showed that halal certification has a significant direct effect on consumer loyalty, as well as a significant indirect effect through consumer trust. The regression analysis showed that halal certification significantly increases consumer trust, which in turn contributes significantly to higher loyalty. The Sobel test confirmed the partial mediation role of trust in the relationship between halal certification and loyalty. These findings underscore the importance of trust as a psychological mechanism linking institutional credibility to consumer behavioral outcomes. This study concludes that halal certification alone is not enough to guarantee consumer loyalty unless supported by a consistent and transparent certification process that can build consumer trust. Therefore, business actors and certification institutions must not only comply with halal standards, but must also be able to communicate and maintain their credibility effectively to maintain consumer trust. Strengthening trust through ethical practices, education, and transparent halal processes can be a strategic approach in building sustainable consumer loyalty in the halal market.

Abstract

This research analyzes the implementation of Islamic business values in the management of coffee shops in Banda Aceh, a city with strong implementation of Islamic Sharia in various aspects of life. Using a qualitative approach with a literature study method, this research explores the manifestation of Islamic business values in four main dimensions: spiritual (tawhid), business ethics ('is), social (ihsan), and operational (khalifah). Data collection was conducted through a systematic search of scientific literature related to Islamic economics, sharia business management, and the development of coffee shops in Aceh published in the 2020-2024 timeframe. The results showed that although most coffee shop managers in Banda Aceh have a good understanding of the principles of Islamic economics, their implementation has not been fully integrated in all aspects of business management. The most consistently applied practices are the provision of halal products (100%) and worship facilities (93%), while aspects of sharia financial management (35%) and sharia-based HR management systems (56%) still face implementation challenges. The motivation of managers in implementing Islamic values also varies, with coffee shops managed based on religious awareness showing higher consistency of implementation. This research contributes to the development of a coffee shop business management model that integrates Islamic values comprehensively and adaptively to the modern context, and highlights the importance of strengthening regulations and support from various stakeholders to create a sustainable sharia-based business ecosystem.
