The Influence Of Non-Halal Income And Interest-Based Debt On The Value Of Sharia-Compliant Issuers In The Energy Sector

Rachmat Budiono, Indra Indra, Indra Indra — Mon, 30 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study investigates the impact of non-halal income and interest-based debt on the value of sharia-compliant issuers in Indonesia’s energy sector—a capital-intensive industry where the use of debt is often inevitable. Prior research has explored the influence of capital structure and Sharia compliance broadly, but studies focusing specifically on the interaction of non-halal income and interest-based debt within the energy sector remain limited. Addressing this gap, the study employs a panel data approach covering 15 energy companies listed on the Indonesia Sharia Stock Index (ISSI) over the period 2018–2022. The Price to Book Value (PBV) ratio is used as a proxy for firm value. The results reveal that non-halal income (PNH) does not significantly affect PBV (p = 0.4684), indicating minimal influence on firm value. However, interest-based debt (UBB) negatively affects PBV at a 10% significance level, suggesting that higher UBB reduces firm value. Moreover, the interaction between PNH and UBB shows a significant negative effect on PBV, implying that a high combination of both variables further decreases firm value. In contrast, Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), and Earnings Per Share (EPS) have significant positive effects on PBV. These findings highlight the need for greater financial discipline and Sharia compliance among energy sector issuers to maintain investor confidence and firm value.

Cash Waqf Literacy and Religiusity on People’s Interest in Waqf Post Covid-19 in Banda Aceh City

Syafruddin Kamal, Hendra Syahputra, Mursalmina Mursalmina — Tue, 10 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study critically evaluates the growing interest in cash waqf in Banda Aceh City during the post-COVID-19 era, with a specific focus on the influence of cash waqf literacy and religiosity. Distinguishing itself from prior research, this study rigorously examines 299 respondents through a simple random sampling method, ensuring broad representativeness. Data were processed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and the Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS) software, allowing for robust hypothesis testing. The results provide compelling evidence that both cash waqf literacy and religiosity are significant determinants of increased participation in cash waqf. This positive relationship underscores the urgent need for strategic initiatives by the Banda Aceh Municipal Government to intensify socialization efforts. Through partnerships with Sharia Financial Institutions Receiving Cash Waqf (LKS-PWU) and religious leaders, these efforts can substantially enhance public engagement and mobilize the latent potential of cash waqf. The findings not only reaffirm the critical role of literacy and religiosity in waqf participation but also emphasize the broader implications for economic resilience and community welfare in post-pandemic recovery. This study highlights the transformative potential of targeted policies to unlock the full capacity of cash waqf as a vital instrument for sustainable development.

An Analysis of Problems and Solutions in the Low Level of Cash Waqf in Indonesia Using Analytic Network Process (ANP)

Aprida Susanti, Dede Fatah, Zulkarnain Muhammad Ali — Thu, 12 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The low level of cash waqf mobilization in Indonesia presents a significant challenge for Islamic philanthropy, attributed to various internal and external factors. This study addresses the gap in existing literature concerning the comprehensive analysis of factors that impact the low uptake of cash waqf and the strategic management approaches necessary to address these challenges. While previous research has examined aspects of cash waqf, there remains a need for a systematic approach that integrates problem, solution, and strategy analysis through the Analytic Network Process (ANP) method. The objectives of this study are to identify the key factors affecting cash waqf mobilization and to propose detailed solutions and strategies for effective management. Utilizing the ANP framework and the Problem-Solution Model, the study collects data from a sample of 7 experts and 7 practitioners. The analysis considers four dimensions—human resources, institutional frameworks, government, and society—and is organized into three clusters: problems, solutions, and strategies, with a focus on both internal and external factors. Key findings indicate that the low mobilization of cash waqf is primarily due to weak management systems within institutions. The study proposes that enhancing the Indonesian Waqf Board (BWI) through governmental support is a critical solution, while the application of information technology is identified as the main strategic priority. The study underscores the need for the government (particularly BWI) and waqf institutions (nazhir) to prioritize a robust cash waqf ecosystem through improved management, professionalization, literacy, and resource allocation. This research contributes to the limited body of literature on cash waqf mobilization by providing a comprehensive model for addressing both internal and external challenges, thereby offering valuable insights for Islamic finance policymakers and practitioners.

The Influence of Sharia Financial Literacy, Religiosity, Financial Self-Efficacy, and Financial Locus of Control as Mediating Effects on the Financial Behavior of Qris Users of Islamic Banks.

Hidayatul Fitriani, Zefri Maulana, Tajul Ula, Juli Dwina Puspita Sari — Tue, 17 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study aims to analyze the determinants of public interest in the use of QRIS in Sharia Banks with a focus on Langsa City - one of the cities in Aceh which is a province that implements the Islamic financial system. The independent variables tested included promotion, religiosity, education, and financial ability. Shariah financial literacy is considered as an intermediary variable that plays a role in connecting independent variables with dependent variables, namely interest in using QRIS. Considering that literacy and interest in using digital finance in Aceh, especially Langsa City, are still low, this research is important in understanding the factors that affect public interest.This study involved 100 respondents from Langsa City who were randomly taken with a quantity determined through the method of determining the number of Slovin. The analysis method used in this study is the Structural Equation Modeling - Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) Method which serves to identify whether the effect of independent variables on dependent variables occurs directly, or through intermediate variables (intermediation). The results of the study show that promotion, religiosity, education, and financial ability significantly affect financial literacy, which then has a positive impact on interest in using QRIS.These findings are expected to help Islamic banking and the government in designing strategies to increase the adoption of digital financial services in Aceh, especially Langsa City.

The Synergy of Zakat, Economy and Education: Dissecting the Determinants of Poverty Level in Aceh

Riza Amalia, Metasari Kartika, Romi Suradi, Abd Mubaraq — Mon, 23 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Aceh is a province in Indonesia with a Muslim-majority region and applies special autonomy and qanun, but there is a paradoxical phenomenon in this region where a significant increase in zakat distribution, economic growth, and education is actually followed by an increase in the number of poor people. This study aims to test and analyze the effect of zakat, economic growth and education on poverty rates in 23 districts / cities of Aceh Province in 2011-2021. The research method used in this study is using a descriptive quantitative approach using secondary data. The analysis technique uses panel data regression which includes cross section data (23 districts / cities) and time series data (2011-2021). Data obtained from the official websites of Baitul Mal Aceh and the Central Bureau of Statistics of Aceh Province. The results showed that zakat and education partially had a significant negative effect on the poverty rate in Aceh, this identified that zakat and education succeeded in reducing poverty in Aceh. However, it is different with economic growth where the results show that partially economic growth has a positive but insignificant effect on the poverty rate. This indicates that an increase in economic growth causes an increase in the poverty rate in Aceh. Simultaneously, zakat, economic growth and education variables together have a significant effect on poverty reduction in Aceh.

Application of Islamic Accounting and Benefits in Rahn Tasjily Financing in the Management of Islamic Multipurpose Cooperatives

Kayla Zahara Putri Nasada, Hendra Harmain, Nur Ahmadi Bi Rahmani — Mon, 23 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Non-bank financial institutions are very often challenged to implement Islamic financing, especially in the standard of financial records. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the implementation of the rahn tasjily financing system, the application of sharia accounting to rahn tasjily, compliance with the DSN MUI fatwa related to rahn tasjily, compliance with Qanun on Islamic financial institutions, and the benefits of financing for members and employees at the Wangi Sari Selamat Jaya Sharia Multipurpose Cooperative (WASSALAM) Aceh Tamiang. The novelty of the research lies in the Qanun as the standard of Islamic financial institutions in Aceh. Although previous research has researched how accounting is applied to rahn tasjily, but there are still few who discuss its compatibility with the Qanun LKS This research uses a descriptive-qualitative approach with the Participatory Action Research (PAR) method, through in-depth interviews with participants. The research findings show that Wassalam Cooperative has implemented sharia-compliant financing, but is still unable to provide debt with uniform ujrah because each customer has different terms and conditions that must be met. Some aspects of this financing are also in accordance with PSAK 107, but the lack of staff understanding of accounting standards, especially PSAK 107, causes the presentation and disclosure aspects of financing to not be implemented properly. The cooperative is committed to the fatwa of DSN MUI and Aceh Qanun No. 11/2018, to ensure compliance with sharia regulations. The cooperative channelled the benefits of interest-free financing in accordance with sharia principles to empower the community's economy while enhancing sharia financial education. This implementation also encourages cooperatives as Islamic financial institutions to continue learning to minimise the risk of accounting errors and optimise financial performance. Theoretically, this research enriches the Islamic accounting and sustainable finance literature and contributes to evaluating regulations related to rahn tasjily.

Implementation of Prophetic Leadership in Green Waqf Management: A Comparative Case Study of Two Green Waqf Institutions in Indonesia

Muhammad Murtadha, Syahdatul Maulida — Mon, 23 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This research explores green waqf management, prophetic leadership implementation, and challenges faced by green waqf institutions in Indonesia, focusing on Hutan Wakaf Bogor and Greenwaqf. Using a qualitative descriptive case study approach, the findings reveal that Greenwaqf prioritizes renewable energy, while Hutan Wakaf Bogor emphasizes forest management. Both institutions have applied prophetic leadership values, though loyalty, exemplary behavior, accountability, transparency, and effective communication require further improvement. Key challenges include funding, regulatory frameworks, and nazhir resource development. The study recommends that stakeholders, particularly regulators, address these challenges by formulating supportive policies and enhancing nazhir guidance through prophetic leadership principles, fostering a stronger green waqf ecosystem.

Islamic Foundations of International Trade and Economic Growth: A Panel Data Analysis of Necessities, Needs, and Luxuries

Dhiaeddine Rejeb — Mon, 30 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study aims to empirically validate the theoretical foundations of Islamic international trade through a panel data approach. Building upon Islamic economic principles, particularly Al-Shatibi’s classification of human needs, we investigate the impact of exports and imports categorized into necessities, needs, and luxuries on GDP growth. A panel dataset covering 53 developing and 28 developed countries over the 2005–2015 period is analyzed. Using Herfindahl-Hirschman Index to measure monopolistic competition, the study employs fixed effects panel regression models. The findings reveal that international trade according to the priorities concept of Al-Shatibi has a significant influence on economic growth, with varying impacts across categories and regions. This paper contributes to bridging Islamic trade ethics with modern empirical economics.

Business-Industry Collaboration in Developing Waqf Deposit Prototypes and SOPs in Islamic Financial Institution

Yaser Syamlan Taufik, Asnan Purba — Mon, 30 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The development of Wakaf Deposits in Indonesia holds significant potential in strengthening Islamic finance and maximizing waqf fund utilization. However, challenges related to regulatory alignment, risk management, transparency, and operational standardization hinder its effective implementation across Islamic Financial Institutions. This study aims to develop a prototype and Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for Waqf Deposit products in Islamic Financial Institutions, with an emphasis on Islamic Banks, Islamic Cooperatives, and Islamic Fintech. This Waqf Deposit product is designed to support the optimal potential of waqf through an innovation-based and collaborative approach. This study targets the study of Islamic law and positive law related to waqf, the development of a BMC (Business Model Canvas)-based business model, the design of operational stages, and cost and benefit analysis. In addition, risk and prevention analysis is carried out in accordance with sharia principles and OJK (Financial Services Authority) regulations, including the preparation of RAC (Risk Acceptance Criteria) and waqf audit guidelines. The results of this study are expected to provide practical guidance for Islamic Financial Institutions in implementing Waqf Deposit products, as well as stimulating synergy between the banking, cooperative, and fintech sectors in supporting community empowerment and the development and improvement of the halal industry. This study contributes to the Islamic finance sector by proposing a sustainable business model, operational workflow, risk mitigation strategies, and a waqf audit framework based on Waqf Core Principles to enhance transparency and accountability. The implications of this research extend to policymakers, financial regulators, and Islamic Financial Institutions, offering a comprehensive technical guideline for the systematic implementation of Wakaf Deposits.
