Abstract

The poultry farming sector, particularly broiler farming in Padang Karambia, Indonesia, has seen rapid growth due to partnership systems between local farmers and large companies like PT Ciomas Adisatwa. This study aims to examine the management of partnership systems in broiler farming and the application of Islamic economic principles, such as justice (adl), cooperation (ta'awun), and fair profit-sharing. The methodology employed is in-depth interviews with three key informants: the broiler farm manager, the Head of the Partner Unit at PT Ciomas, and a Field Extension Officer (PPL). The findings indicate that although the partnership system benefits both parties, there is an imbalance in risk and profit sharing. Farmers, who rely heavily on the facilities provided by the company, feel restricted in setting the selling price of the chickens. In the context of Islamic economics, mudarabah or musyarakah systems can better reflect the principle of justice with a more balanced and transparent profit-sharing. Moreover, the principle of cooperation (ta'awun) needs to be reinforced to foster a more harmonious relationship between the company and farmers. This study recommends the application of a partnership system based on sharia principles to create a more sustainable, just, and mutually beneficial relationship, while strengthening Islamic economic values in broiler farming.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the factors influencing public interest in the murabahah microfinance product at BPRS Haji Miskin Pandai Sikek. Murabahah microfinance is one of the flagship products offering shariah-compliant financing solutions for micro-entrepreneurs in the West Sumatra region. The research employs a qualitative approach using in-depth interviews. The findings indicate that economic, social, and religious factors play significant roles in shaping the community's decision to access murabahah microfinance. Economic factors, such as the need for business capital and the speed of fund disbursement, are key reasons for choosing this product. Social factors, including religious influence and social networks, also contribute to the community's interest in this product. Furthermore, BPRS Haji Miskin actively enhances financial literacy through educational initiatives and community-based promotions, which effectively build trust and understanding about shariah principles and the benefits of murabahah products. This research contributes significantly to understanding the role of Islamic financial institutions in empowering local economies, particularly among micro-entrepreneurs in rural areas.

Abstract

This study examines the optimization of zakat as a fiscal policy instrument to support the welfare of the people in Indonesia. As one of the core pillars of Islam, zakat has significant potential to reduce poverty and promote social welfare equity in Indonesia, the world’s largest Muslim-majority country. However, despite its considerable potential, zakat management often falls short due to challenges in distribution efficiency, coordination among zakat institutions, and limitations in human resources and supporting infrastructure. This research explores how zakat can be integrated into national fiscal policies by strengthening existing management systems, enhancing transparency, and encouraging public participation in its distribution. Additionally, the study highlights the crucial role of zakat institutions, such as the National Amil Zakat Agency (BAZNAS), in directing zakat funds to productive sectors that empower recipients (mustahiq) and reduce economic disparities. By leveraging information technology and fostering greater synergy between zakat institutions and the government, zakat can be optimized as a fiscal instrument that not only aids in poverty alleviation but also contributes to inclusive economic growth. The study concludes that optimizing zakat as a component of fiscal policy can have a significant impact on improving the overall welfare of Indonesian society.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of the quality of non-cash zakat payment systems on the behavior of muzaki in fulfilling their zakat obligations through digital platforms at Baznas Pekanbaru. Non-cash zakat payments have become a more practical alternative, but muzaki participation in Pekanbaru is still relatively low. This research uses a quantitative approach, collecting data through questionnaires distributed to 40 muzaki who use the non-cash zakat payment system. Validity and reliability tests were conducted to ensure the quality of the data, while linear regression analysis was used to examine the relationship between system quality (ease of use, security, and service quality) and muzaki behavior. The results indicate that system quality has a significant and positive impact on muzaki behavior. The regression coefficient of 0.640 suggests that each 1% improvement in system quality can increase muzaki behavior by 64%. The T-test shows a significance value of 0.000, indicating that system quality significantly influences the decision of muzaki to use digital platforms for zakat payments. Therefore, this study recommends that Baznas Pekanbaru continue to improve the quality of the non-cash zakat payment system and carry out socialization and education for the public to increase muzaki participation. This study also suggests that future research should consider a larger sample size and varying methods to obtain more comprehensive results.

Abstract

This study discusses the role of religious moderation in the context of social welfare, focusing on a multidimensional approach to poverty alleviation and human development. In a pluralistic society, religious moderation becomes key to creating a harmonious and inclusive social environment. By promoting values of tolerance and mutual respect among religious groups, religious moderation can reduce social tensions and discrimination that hinder community empowerment. This research explores how the integration of religious moderation principles into social policies and development programs can create strong social networks, strengthen interfaith collaboration, and enhance community participation in economic empowerment initiatives. Religious moderation not only serves as a tool to reduce conflict but also as a driver of innovation in inclusive social policies that are responsive to marginalized groups. The study also identifies challenges in implementing religious moderation, such as resistance from certain groups and the still-present exclusive paradigms in society. Therefore, strengthening inclusive religious education and engaging religious leaders in intergroup dialogue is crucial to raising awareness about the importance of moderation in achieving social welfare. The findings show that a multidimensional approach involving religious moderation can accelerate poverty alleviation and improve human quality of life as a whole. The conclusion emphasizes the need for collaborative strategies involving the government, civil society organizations, and religious communities to achieve sustainable development goals.

Abstract

The Waqf Awareness Movement, launched by the International Center of Awqaf Studies, aims to enhance the understanding and participation of students and the Indonesian public in waqf practices. This study employs a literature review method, analyzing previous studies and academic literature related to the waqf awareness movement and its socio-economic impacts. By synthesizing various scholarly sources, this research explores how education, socialization, and access to information have contributed to increasing public awareness and participation in waqf. The findings indicate that waqf holds significant potential to improve community economic empowerment, strengthen social welfare, and promote solidarity. Furthermore, the literature review reveals that increased engagement in waqf extends beyond donations to include the management and utilization of waqf assets for community development. This study highlights the important role of educational and socialization initiatives in raising awareness of waqf's benefits, aiming to encourage greater public participation. The research emphasizes the need to strengthen these initiatives to maximize waqf's contribution as a tool for sustainable social and economic development. Through deeper understanding of waqf, the public is better prepared to regard it as an effective instrument for community advancement, reinforcing social values, and promoting solidarity.

Abstract

This study examines the dual role of Qur’anic khataman tradition at Ihsanul Ato Mosque in Sumenep, Indonesia, as both a spiritual practice and a mechanism for socio-economic solidarity. Through an exploratory qualitative approach—using in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis—the research reveals how khataman transcends its religious function to foster community resilience. Findings indicate that khataman integrates weekly arisan (rotating savings scheme) into its structure, creating an informal economic network that supports collective needs such as healthcare, education, and small-business capital. Simultaneously, it serves as a vital social space where villagers across ages and professions strengthen communal bonds, share information, and provide moral support. The tradition bridges Islamic spirituality with local socio-cultural values like gotong royong (mutual cooperation), transforming the mosque into a dynamic hub for holistic community development. Participants report enhanced social cohesion, economic reciprocity, and intergenerational transmission of Qur’anic values such as sincerity and solidarity. However, the study’s single-site focus limits broader generalizability, and future research should explore variables like gender dynamics and local leadership. This research contributes to socio-religious studies by demonstrating how grassroots religious practices can drive sustainable socio-economic empowerment. It challenges reductionist views of khataman as merely ritualistic, positioning it instead as a adaptive strategy for resource-scarce rural communities. Policymakers may leverage such indigenous traditions to design culturally resonant social programs in Muslim-majority contexts.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the influence of Islamic social and cultural values on technology adoption within Muslim communities, focusing on the challenges and opportunities arising from the misalignment between technological advancements and local cultural values. Technology adoption in Muslim societies is often influenced not only by infrastructure readiness but also by societal perceptions of technology that may conflict with long-standing religious doctrines and cultural traditions. This study identifies three main factors affecting technology acceptance: infrastructure readiness, social disparities, and the cultural characteristics of Islam. The research demonstrates that successful technology adoption requires social engineering that enables integration with the existing moral and social values in Muslim communities. Using a qualitative approach, the study explores how Muslims adapt technology without compromising their religious and cultural principles. Findings indicate that effective technology adoption necessitates policies accommodating local social and cultural values and the involvement of religious leaders in introducing appropriate technology. This research significantly contributes to enriching the study of technology adoption by considering cultural and religious dimensions and opens opportunities for further research in this field. The study’s limitation lies in its geographically limited scope, suggesting the need for broader, more in-depth research involving Muslim communities in various regions.

Abstract

This study investigates the capitalist transformation of digital Islamic da’wah in Indonesia through the lens of social media algorithms and their role in shaping user trust. Employing a qualitative literature review approach, the research analyzes how algorithmic mechanisms prioritize content circulation based on engagement metrics, thereby influencing the production and reception of religious messages. The findings reveal that digital platforms driven by capitalist imperatives commodify Islamic da’wah, altering its communicative style and potentially compromising its spiritual authenticity. This commodification fosters a competitive digital environment where trust is algorithmically constructed and leveraged for monetization. The study underscores the critical need for digital literacy among Islamic preachers and their audiences to navigate these dynamics responsibly. Limitations include reliance on secondary sources without primary empirical data, highlighting the importance of future multifaceted research to develop ethical and effective digital da’wah strategies in a rapidly evolving media landscape. The research implications advocate for balancing technological adaptation with the preservation of genuine Islamic values against the pressures of digital capitalism.

Abstract

The halal industry has experienced significant growth in various countries with large Muslim populations, especially Indonesia, Malaysia, and Nigeria. This study aims to understand how the social and cultural characteristics of societies in these three countries influence consumer behavior toward halal products. Using a qualitative approach based on literature review, this research analyzes factors shaping halal consumption patterns, including infrastructure readiness, social inequality, and economic factors in each country. The findings reveal that although all three countries have high demand for halal products, there are significant differences in acceptance and adoption. In Indonesia and Malaysia, the halal industry is more advanced, supported by strong government policies, whereas in Nigeria, infrastructural challenges and inadequate regulations are major obstacles. The study also highlights that the public's understanding of halal extends beyond food to sectors such as cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and Islamic finance. Consequently, this research provides important contributions to the development of more inclusive halal industry policies and marketing strategies tailored to the social and cultural contexts of each country. However, the study is limited by the use of secondary data, and further research involving direct interviews with consumers and stakeholders in these countries is highly recommended.
