Abstract

MSMEs are part of the supporting aspects of the country's economy. However, the competitiveness of MSMEs in Indonesia towards the global economy still tends to be low when compared to other ASEAN countries. This is caused by low levels of education and expertise, difficulties in obtaining licensing for MSMEs, lack of access to capital, and lack of infrastructure support. One aspect that should not be missed from the field of education and expertise is the level of public financial literacy. The purpose of this study is not only to analyze and classify the level of financial literacy of MSMEs but also to examine the impact of literacy levels on the development of MSMEs. This research approach is descriptive quantitative with a sample size of 1392, obtained by using cluster random sampling technique in Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY). The results of the study show that the financial literacy of MSMEs in DIY is Less Literate. The effect on the business developing had a positive and significant influence amounted to 36.1%. With this finding, it is expected to be an input for regulators in the framework of planning and implementing policies related to Islamic financial literacy.

Abstract

LAZNAS Baitul Maal Hidayatullah (BMH), which has been initially considered successful, in reality, shows a failure in terms of collecting zakat funds. BMH has received various awards from the Marketing Award, BAZNAS Award, and Anugerah Syariah Republika. However, the collection of zakat funds and the number of muzakki are very low and tend to decrease from year to year. In 2019, the number of muzakki was only 14.38%, and the zakat funds collected were only 11.7% of the total funds. This research aims to investigate what internal and external factors caused this decreasing trend. Employing interviews with the BMH leaders and employees, this study found that the internal factors of the low collection of zakat funds were: 1) The funds targeted by BMH from zakat were much lower than the other sources, only 32.66%; 2) BMH only followed the will of the donors; 3) BMH did not ask the donors whether they had paid zakat; 4) BMH felt uncomfortable to ask the donors whether they had paid zakat. Meanwhile, the external cause was that the donors tended to be more interested in choosing the programs offered by BMH rather than paying zakat.

Abstract

This study aims to analyse the conversion-related issues from Savings and Loan Cooperative (SLC) into Islamic Savings Loan and Financing Cooperative (ISLFC) using a case study of Tunas Artha Mandiri (TAM) Cooperative, located in Nganjuk, East Java. Five main research questions include: exploring reasons for conversion, explaining the conversion process, assessing the level of conversion effectiveness, identifying obstacles during the conversion and analysing key success factors of conversion. This study applied a mixed method. A qualitative method was applied to answer the first four questions and a quantitative method with a structural equation model was used to answer the fifth question. Using 120 members of TAM as our respondents, this study found that the success of conversion depends on the awareness of human resources to emigrate and the reinforcement to emigrate, especially from the founders. In addition, this awareness indirectly affects the success of conversion through desire, knowledge, ability and reinforcement. In order to succeed, the cooperative management should provide socialization on how to run ISLFC effectively as well as gradual training.

Abstract

This study explains the Islamic economic perspective on cryptocurrency, in this case, in the light of maqashid shariah. This research was a literature study and qualitative in nature. The data analysis applied a descriptive-analytical technique with a normative juridical approach to Islamic law. The results of this study conclude that cryptocurrency has a much greater element of mafsadah than maslahah. It is an investment commodity rather than a currency with a very high level of risk and volatility that reflects the mafsadah. This is the attraction of a new investment model because it only follows the trend of global market developments that are far from the function and benefits of currency in the perspective of Islamic economics.

Abstract

Abraham Maslow’s theory discredits the existence of religion and substitutes it with secular spirituality. It provides a space for anthropocentrism and materialism philosophy, freedom, authorization, and a single human potentiality. On the other hand, Said Nursi’s Sufi Psychology sets religious teachings as the radiance of spirituality. It identifies the genuineness of human beings as creatures who are obedient to God. This study aims to reveal how humanistic psychology and Sufi psychology perceive the need for spirituality by referring to Abraham Maslow and Said Nursi. Researchers identify, select, and formulate relevant and constructive narratives to support each theory stated. They then conducted a deductive content analysis of the references using the available variables, categories, and content tabulations. This research finds that Maslow's spirituality relies on subjective human experience, and life satisfaction can be achieved by maximizing one's potential. On the other hand, Nursi's spirituality is based on the Shari'a and leads to fundamental happiness. For Maslow, the existence of God has been alienated from the human mind, and religion has become a secondary component. At the same time, Nursi has a Tauhidic perspective on reality and believes that religion is the primary guidance of life. Meanwhile, secular spirituality promises nothing but illusory pseudo-happiness. This concept originated from the confusion of Modern Western Psychology on the nature of God, religion, and human psychology. This confusion will vanish if it refers to religious teaching as the ultimate truth. Although both have differences in their ontological nature and conceptual psychological foundations, they both present a similar understanding of recognizing a Higher Entity capable of controlling human life. This entity is called God. In conclusion, Nursi's concept of Tawhid-based spirituality offers a solution to modern man's anxiety, emptiness, and powerlessness of their life problems.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the performance of the publihed research results by professors in three State Islamic Universities (UINs). By using the descriptive–qualitative analysis and quantitative data reading, this study analyzes research outputs of lecturers with a full professorship in the State Islamic Universities from January to October 2019. The research finds that most of the professor’s research results were not published whether in the forms of books or scientific journal articles. 60% of the professors have a lack of understanding of the open journal system, which causes a low level of publication among them. One program that is very effective in helping them to increase the productivity of the publications is a program of publication assistance.  The well-versed information technology assistants help the professors to get familiar with the information technology. This study adds to the existing literature regarding the research performance of university professors, especially in understanding what factors that hinder the publication performance of State Islamic University professors in Indonesia.

Abstract

This paper aims to determine the level of Islamic financial literacy (IFL) and identify factors that have a relationship and influence on the level of IFL in various communities. The research was conducted because there have been inconsistencies in previous studies regarding the factors that influence the level of financial literacy, both general and Islamic financial literacy. Demographic factors such as gender, education level, and income level are often used in this type of research. This paper is compiled in two steps with mixed method. The first calculates the IFL index level, and the second analyzes the factors affecting the IFL index level using ethnographic studies. Islamic financial literacy indicators consist of knowledge, skills, beliefs, attitudes, and behavior based on the aspects of religiosity and Maqasid al-Shari'ah. The factors that influence the Islamic financial literacy index are determined using ethnographic studies. The result is the education level affects the financial literacy index in one community. But the results will be different when different communities are compared. One of the influencing factors is the financial socialization agent, and this is very closely related to the political socialization theory. In this case, the Bank or Islamic financial institution acts as a potential agent.
