Abstract

This paper employs qualitative content analysis as its methodological framework, focusing on the seminal works of Imam Al-Ghazali. The study examines central themes in Imam Al-Ghazali’s writings to clarify the influence of spirituality on economic thought. The findings indicate that Imam Al-Ghazali advocates for an economic system grounded in spiritual responsibility and the pursuit of both material and spiritual fulfillment. This study adopts a qualitative design to examine al-Ghazali’s primary writings on economic thought and spirituality, and the library research enabling scholars to explore the evolution of economic ideas within their intellectual and historical contexts. The results underscore the ongoing relevance of Imam  Al-Ghazali’s insights in current economic discourse and highlight the importance of balancing material success with spiritual development as a solution to the problems of modern economies, which often emphasize materialism. The analysis demonstrates that integrating spiritual values into economic practices can address contemporary challenges and promote social responsibility, exemplified by mechanisms such as zakah and shadaqah, which serve as means to balance economic activity with spirituality. The results implied that dialogue between spirituality and economics, as articulated by Imam Al-Ghazali, provides a critical foundation for establishing a just and balanced society amid modern challenges.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of key macroeconomic variables on the level of Non-Performing Financing (NPF) in Indonesia’s Islamic banking sector using a Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) framework. Research on the stability of Islamic banking was growing, even limited studies linked macroeconomic indicators with NPF with long-term data and dynamic frameworks. This study was quantitative by using macroeconomics indicators such as inflation, the exchange rate, economic growth, the stock price index, financing levels, and global oil prices, complemented by the bank-specific variable BOPO. The secondary time-series data covering the period 2007–2025 were employed in this study. Johansen’s cointegration test indicates the presence of three cointegrating vectors, confirming the existence of long-run relationships among the variables. The result found that the VECM estimation reveals that the exchange rate and inflation exert significant short-run effects on NPF, whereas operational efficiency (BOPO) and economic growth are significant determinants in the long run. These findings underscore the critical role of macroeconomic stability and bank-level operational efficiency in sustaining financing quality in Islamic banking. The implication of this study recommends strengthening risk-management practices, enhancing monitoring effectiveness, and adopting more responsive strategies to mitigate macroeconomic volatility. In addition, policymakers are encouraged to review and adapt macroprudential policies to respond to changing economic conditions. These actions collectively can  enhance stakeholder resilience and support effective leadership during periods of economic uncertainty.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of waqf in sustaining community development through a novel hybrid concept termed “benefidonors” individuals who simultaneously function as both beneficiaries and donors within the waqf ecosystem. Drawing on prosumerism, ConsuMerchant behavior and the Islamic principle of mutual cooperation (ta’awun), it is posits that active participation through sharing, using and re-donating waqf, significantly enhance multiple dimensions of community well-being. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected via a structured survey instrument administered to 304 verified waqf beneficiaries from the Yayasan Waqf Malaysia database, representing diverse socio-demographic backgrounds across Peninsular Malaysia. The instrument, validated through pilot testing (n = 50) and expert review, employed multi-item Likert scales adapted from established literature to measure seven outcome variables: human capital, physical health, religious capital, family development, social capital, quality of life, and economic capital. Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was used for data analysis. Results indicate that the benefidonor concept exerts a significant influence across all seven domains, with particularly strong effects on economic and human capital. While the study offers actionable insights for waqf institutions such as developing digital platforms to facilitate sharing, usage, and re-donation it is limited by its cross-sectional design and focus on existing beneficiaries, which may constrain generalizability. Nonetheless, the findings underscore the potential of transforming passive recipients into active co-creators of sustainable community development through the benefidonor model.

Abstract

The study aims to investigate the effect of financial ratios and inflation on the stock price of Bank Syariah Indonesia using the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach. This research was quantitative with variables studied include the Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR), Return on Assets (ROA), Net Operating Margin (NOM), Operating Costs to Operating Income (BOPO), Financing to Deposit Ratio (FDR), and Inflation. Data were observed from the BSI bank merger in February 2021 to August 2024 by using the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) method. The results indicate that in the long term, all variables have no significant effect on stock prices. Meanwhile, in the short term, ROA had a significant positive effect on stock prices, NOM and FDR had a significant negative effect, while CAR, BOPO, and inflation had no significant effect on stock prices, indicating stock price dynamics. Thus, the findings of this study indicate that investors are more responsive to changes in the financial performance of Indonesian Islamic banks in the short term than in the long term. This research contributes theoretically by showing that market responses to firm fundamentals and economic conditions occur through gradual adjustment rather than instant reactions. Practically, the findings assist investors and policymakers in understanding key fundamental and macroeconomic determinants of stock prices for the stability of Islamic banking.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze and identify factors influencing customer loyalty in Islamic banks, focusing on educational organizations in Indonesia. Customer loyalty is a crucial aspect for the sustainability of Islamic banks, especially amidst increasingly fierce competition in the banking industry. This study employed a quantitative research design, utilizing primary data collected via structured questionnaires. Quantitative approaches are well-suited for testing hypotheses and analyzing relationships between variables statistically. The questionnaires were distributed both in-person and online to Islamic bank customers from educational organizations in Indonesia over a four-week period with a final sample of 101 respondents. The data were analyzed using SEM-PLS to test the measurement and structural models. The results indicate that service quality significantly influences customer satisfaction, brand image, and loyalty. While customer satisfaction affects brand image, it does not directly influence loyalty, whereas brand image plays a key role in driving customer loyalty. Theoretically, this study contributes to the Islamic banking literature by confirming the mediating roles of brand image and customer satisfaction and offering a foundation for future research on loyalty in institutional and sharia-based financial contexts. This study provides practical insights for Islamic bank management to enhance customer loyalty through improved service quality, trust building, and consistent implementation of sharia principles.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of religiosity, normative community pressure, and the perceived role of religious leaders on Islamic entrepreneurial values. A quantitative approach was applied using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Data were collected through purposive sampling from 313 micro-entrepreneurs operating in Java, Indonesia. The results show that normative community pressure and the perceived role of religious leaders have significant positive effects on Islamic entrepreneurial values. Furthermore, religiosity and normative community pressure significantly influence the perceived role of religious leaders. However, religiosity has a significant negative effect on Islamic entrepreneurial values, indicating that stronger personal religiosity does not necessarily translate into greater adherence to Islamic values in entrepreneurial practices. The findings highlight the importance of community-based support and religious leadership in strengthening Islamic entrepreneurial values among micro-entrepreneurs. This study provides novel empirical evidence by examining the combined roles of individual religiosity, community norms, and religious leadership in shaping Islamic entrepreneurial values. In particular, the unexpected negative effect of religiosity challenges the assumption that stronger personal religiosity necessarily leads to stronger adherence to Islamic values in business practices, thereby extending the theoretical understanding of religion and entrepreneurship.

Abstract

This study aims to examine poverty in female-headed households receiving zakat in urban Malaysia through an expenditure-based method, rather than traditional income-based measures. Based on primary data collected from 262 households in Selangor and Kuala Lumpur in 2023, the study applies the cost-of-basic-needs (CBN) method and equivalised monthly expenditure to measure poverty incidence, depth, and severity using Foster-Greer-Thorbecke (FGT) indices. The results show that as many as 68.3% of households are still below the urban poverty line of RM2,800 per month, even after receiving zakat, and 74.0% of them state that their expenditures exceed their incomes; therefore, these households are in considerable financial distress. The household expenditure patterns reveal that the food budget accounts for more than 60% of the total budget, corresponding to a poverty incidence of 91.2% and a significantly deeper level of deprivation. The paper argues that structural vulnerabilities are the main causes of poverty, rather than marital status; thus, the stereotypes of the most disadvantaged groups in the context of zakat targeting are questioned. The point is to highlight the inefficacy of the present zakat allocation practices and emphasise the necessity of a more reliable, income-sensitive, and evidence-based framework to enhance the precision, sufficiency, and overall effectiveness of Islamic social protection in Malaysia's urban context.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the community’s response to the development of halal tourist destinations in the Muslim-minority region of North Sulawesi Province and to identify appropriate strategies for developing halal tourism, based on internal and external conditions in this region. This study employed a quantitative, explanatory research design to examine Muslim consumers’ intentions to choose Muslim-friendly tourist destinations in North Sulawesi Indonesia, a Muslim-minority. This study uses the Partial Least Squares (PLS) equation model to analyze people’s preferences for halal tourism in North Sulawesi Province. The independent variables are attitudes, subjective norms, behavioral control, and religiosity. Meanwhile, the dependent variable is the intention to choose a halal tourist destination. This research reveals that attitude, subjective norms, and religiosity positively and significantly affect travel intentions, whereas subjective norms have a negative effect. Furthermore, effective strategies for developing Muslim-friendly tourism include adjusting marketing and product development, implementing larger, more effective marketing campaigns, improving access to information and amenities, and developing religious infrastructure in tourist areas. This study contributes to the literature on halal tourism by extending the understanding of Muslim travel intentions in a Muslim-minority context and demonstrating the significant roles of attitudes, subjective norms, and religiosity. The findings imply that halal tourism development in North Sulawesi should adopt context-sensitive strategies that integrate targeted marketing, improved information and tourism amenities, and strengthened religious infrastructure.
