Abstract

The mudharabah contract in sharia financing is the primary choice for supporting the development of the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) sector, particularly for those seeking to avoid usury or interest inherent in the conventional banking system. In the mudharabah contract, the investor provides funds managed by the entrepreneur, and profits are shared based on the initial agreement, while losses are borne by the investor, unless the losses result from the negligence of the business manager. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the mudharabah contract in financing MSMEs in Cirebon Regency, assess the existing opportunities and challenges, and provide recommendations for development. Using a qualitative approach, in-depth interviews were conducted with MSME owners who have utilized the mudharabah contract as a source of financing. The results of the study indicate that the mudharabah contract has the potential to encourage the growth of MSMEs in Cirebon Regency, although challenges such as limited understanding, suboptimal management, and a lack of assistance from Islamic financial institutions remain obstacles

Abstract

Poverty in rural areas is a tangled thread triggered by specific characteristics, such as lack of access to infrastructure and low quality of human resources, so that its handling cannot be generalized to urban areas. Islamic Social Finance (ISF) offers alternative solutions through strategic instruments based on social justice. This qualitative research using the literature study method and descriptive analysis approach aims to analyze in depth the impact of the three main instruments of ISF—zakat, waqf, and alms—in alleviating village poverty, as well as evaluating productive ISF governance for the welfare of the local community. Data sourced from scientific articles, journals, books, and official reports are codified and analyzed using SWOT analysis techniques to formulate an applicable management strategy. The results of the study show that: 1) zakat contributes significantly to increasing income, job creation, and social transformation; 2) productive waqf has proven to be an effective and sustainable instrument in poverty alleviation; and 3) alms play a strong role in wealth redistribution, reducing inequality, and strengthening inclusive social solidarity. As an output, the SWOT analysis resulted in Strengths-Opportunities (SO)-based strategy recommendations, which include optimizing the ISF collection and distribution system, developing economic empowerment models through sharia communities and cooperatives, utilizing productive financing schemes, strengthening synergy between stakeholders, and measurably identifying local commodities and village potentials

Abstract

Zakat represents a fundamental instrument of Islamic social finance with significant potential to contribute to Islamic economic development. However, conventional zakat distribution that focuses primarily on short-term consumption has limited capacity to generate sustainable economic independence among mustahik. This study aims to develop a conceptual model for optimizing productive zakat as an instrument of sustainable economic empowerment within the framework of Islamic economic development. The study employs a qualitative conceptual approach through a systematic review of relevant literature on zakat, productive zakat, economic empowerment, Islamic social finance, and maqashid al-shariah. The analysis focuses on identifying the mechanisms through which productive zakat can transform mustahik from passive recipients into economically independent actors. The findings indicate that productive zakat can contribute to poverty reduction and inclusive economic development when it is supported by accurate beneficiary identification, productive capital assistance, entrepreneurship training, continuous mentoring, institutional governance, and impact evaluation. The proposed model integrates five dimensions: zakat collection optimization, targeted distribution, productive asset development, capacity building, and sustainable monitoring. Furthermore, the model demonstrates that productive zakat should be oriented toward the achievement of maqashid al-shariah, particularly the protection and development of wealth (hifz al-mal) and the enhancement of human welfare.

Abstract

Introduction/Main Objectives: The Islamic capital market in Indonesia has experienced significant growth, with the Daftar Efek Syariah (DES) serving as the primary mechanism for determining the sharia compliance of listed companies. This study examines the development of sharia compliance in the DES by considering environmental protection as an integral dimension of Islamic values. Background Problems: The current DES screening mechanism relies primarily on business activity and financial criteria, while contemporary Islamic legal thought increasingly emphasizes environmental responsibility. This study asks how MUI Fatwa No. 22 of 2011 and MUI Fatwa No. 86 of 2023 relate normatively to the DES mechanism and how environmental considerations can be incorporated into its sharia compliance framework. Novelty: This study proposes an extension of the existing concept of sharia compliance by integrating hifzh al-bi’ah (environmental protection) and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles into the DES framework, an aspect that has not been explicitly established as an independent screening parameter. Research Methods: This study employs normative legal research using statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches. The analysis focuses on relevant regulations, MUI fatwas, and the existing DES screening mechanism. Finding/Results: The findings indicate that the current DES system remains primarily focused on business activities and financial ratios, while environmental considerations have not yet become an independent parameter of sharia compliance. Conclusion: Integrating hifzh al-bi’ah and ESG principles can strengthen the DES framework by expanding sharia compliance beyond financial and business considerations toward ecological responsibility and sustainable Islamic capital market development.

Abstract

This article proposes a conceptual integration between Moderated Elite Stability Theory (MEST) and Integrated Reality Theory (IRT) to explain Indonesia's post-Reform economic transformation. MEST—in its proposed framework—describes the mechanisms for the formation of political stability through the interaction between elite concentration, elite coordination, and institutional quality. IRT describes how such stability, along with information quality, state reflective capacity, systemic entropy level, and speed of institutional evolution, affects economic productivity. A two-level mathematical model is proposed: Phase I (MEST)— ; Stage II (IRT) — , , , and as a standardized productivity index. Four theoretical propositions are formulated as initial hypotheses. Substantively, this article argues that the effectiveness of economic transformation is largely determined by the state's ability to decrease systemic entropy, build reflective capacity, and conditionally direct the speed of evolution. This model offers an initial operational framework that requires constructive validation and empirical testing..
