ADMINISTRATION OF FASAKH JUDGMENTS IN THE DISSOLUTION OF MUSLIM MARRIAGES IN INDONESIA AND MALAYSIA: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF LEGAL BASES, REGISTRATION PROCEDURES, AND THE ISSUANCE OF DIVORCE DOCUMENTS

Saputra, Deris Arista, Hussin, Zul-kifli
Abstract: This study aims to analyse the administration of fasakh judgments in the dissolution of Muslim marriages in Indonesia and Malaysia, with specific attention to the legal bases, registration procedures, and issuance of divorce… orce documents. This issue is significant because the dissolution of marriage does not end with a court judgment. It continues through administrative registration, which determines the legal status of the parties after divorce. This study adopts a qualitative approach with a documentation-based comparative case study design. Data were collected through an examination of statutory regulations, judicial technical guidelines, official service procedures, institutional documents, and administrative information applicable to the Religious Courts in Indonesia, as well as the Syariah Courts and State Islamic Religious Departments in Malaysia. This study does not involve interviews or participants because its focus is directed toward the objective mapping of applicable administrative procedures. The data were analysed using a comparative thematic approach by grouping the findings into three main themes: the legal basis of judicial authority, post-judgment registration procedures, and the forms of divorce documents issued. The findings show that Indonesia integrates the issuance of divorce certificates into the administration of the Religious Courts, whereas Malaysia places the issuance of Islamic divorce certificates within the institutional relationship between the Syariah Courts and the State Islamic Religious Departments. These findings affirm that fasakh is not merely a juristic concept or a ground for marital dissolution, but also forms part of the legal documentation system of Islamic family law. This study contributes to the development of comparative Islamic family law scholarship and provides a basis for mapping Muslim divorce administration policies in both countries.

EXCHANGE RATE AS A MODERATOR IN THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LIQUIDITY AND LEVERAGE ON STOCK RETURNS

Abdullah, Sohipa Asazdia, Monoarfa, Mohamad Agus Salim, Ishak, Idham Masri
Abstract: This study aims to examine the effect of the Current Ratio (CR) and Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) on stock returns, with the exchange rate as a moderating variable, in retail sub-sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock… ck Exchange during the 2019–2023 period. This research employed a quantitative approach using secondary data obtained from annual financial reports and stock price data. The sampling technique used purposive sampling, resulting in 25 companies with 125 observations. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). The results indicate that the Current Ratio has a negative and significant effect on stock returns, meaning that excessively high liquidity tends to reduce stock returns. Debt to Equity Ratio also has a negative and significant effect on stock returns, indicating that higher leverage increases financial risk and lowers investor confidence. Simultaneously, Current Ratio and Debt to Equity Ratio significantly affect stock returns. However, the exchange rate has no effect on stock returns.  Furthermore, the exchange rate is unable to moderate the relationship between Current Ratio and stock returns, as well as between Debt to Equity Ratio and stock returns. These findings imply that internal company factors, particularly liquidity management and capital structure, are more dominant in influencing stock returns than external macroeconomic factors such as exchange rate fluctuations. Therefore, investors are advised to pay closer attention to financial fundamentals when making investment decisions in the retail sector.

Abstract: This research examines the manifestation of syncretism in Dusun Catak, Kebonagung Village, Sumowono District, Semarang Regency, with a focus on the tradition of offering sesajen and its interaction with Islamic teachings.… . The aims of this research are to understand how syncretism is manifested in the lives of the Dusun Catak community, to comprehend the history of Dusun Catak, and to analyze the Islamic perspective on the practice of offering sesajen carried out by the Dusun Catak community. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method, combining literature study by exploring previous research, conducting direct observations at the research location for four days, and performing in-depth interviews with several informants. The results show that syncretism in Dusun Catak is manifested in a unique form, where the tradition of sesajen adapts to Islamic teachings. The Dusun Catak community also preserves the village's historical traditions by passing them down through generations. The placement of sesajen is carried out in specific locations. The practice of offering sesajen is regarded as a form of local wisdom that is not perceived as deviating from religious norms by the community; although the offerings are placed in various locations and are associated with respect for the ancestors of the Catak community, the practice is understood as part of a cultural tradition that is integrated with the Islamic values upheld by the community.

CIVIL-MILITARY CORRIDOR RESILIENCE MODEL FOR INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGEMENT IN INDONESIA’S OUTERMOST BORDER ISLAND: EVIDENCE FROM MIANGAS ISLAND

G, Brantas Suharyo, Noonphakdee, Thamrongchai, Suksiengsri, Phongpincharn
Abstract: Infrastructure management in outermost border islands is not only a matter of physical development, but also a strategic issue related to sovereignty, community welfare, connectivity and national defence. This article examines… amines infrastructure management on Miangas Island, one of Indonesia’s northernmost outer islands bordering the Philippines. Although Miangas already has several basic and strategic infrastructures, including roads, an airport, a port, electricity facilities, clean water sources, telecommunications, health facilities and security infrastructure, these assets have not yet functioned as an integrated and reliable system. The main problem is therefore not the absence of infrastructure, but the gap between physical availability and functional performance. This study uses a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach based on field observation, semi-structured interviews and document review. Data were analysed using the Miles and Huberman model, supported by STEEP+M and SWOT analysis. The findings show that infrastructure management in Miangas is influenced by three main indicators: infrastructure availability and quality, connectivity and accessibility, and infrastructure sustainability. Internally, Miangas has strengths in its strategic geography, existing infrastructure assets, state institutional presence, social cohesion and strong national identity. However, these strengths are constrained by weak service quality, limited maintenance, unstable connectivity, a fragile local economy and inadequate maritime surveillance. Externally, Miangas benefits from national legal support, strategic policy status and Indonesia–Philippines cooperation, but faces threats from cross-border dependence, illegal fishing, border violations, environmental pressure and geopolitical sensitivity. The SWOT analysis places Miangas in the WO quadrant, meaning that external opportunities should first be used to overcome internal weaknesses. This article proposes the Civil-Military Corridor Resilience Model as an integrated framework that connects public services, logistics, energy, local markets, maritime security and territorial defence in one border resilience system.

EFFECTIVENESS OF DECISIONS IN ABSENTIA IN RECOVERY OF ASSETS FROM CRIMINAL ACTS OF CORRUPTION: A LEGAL REVIEW OF ARTICLE 38 OF THE LAW ON ERADICATION OF CRIMINAL ACTS OF CORRUPTION

Rahman, Faiz Aulia, Atmojo, Bayu Giri, Wahyudi, Slamet Tri
Abstract: This study examines the effectiveness of in absentia judgments in the recovery of assets from corruption crimes based on Article 38 of the Law on the Eradication of Corruption Crimes. The background of this study is based… d on the phenomenon of many corruption defendants who are absent from trial, so that the judicial process continues through the in absentia mechanism. However, the effectiveness of such judgments in supporting the recovery of state financial losses remains a problem, especially in the aspects of execution and the return of assets resulting from corruption crimes. This study uses a normative legal method (normative juridical) with a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. The results of the study indicate that normatively, Article 38 of the Anti-Corruption Law provides a valid legal basis for courts to render judgments without the presence of the defendant. However, the effectiveness of such judgments in asset recovery is still not optimal because there are obstacles such as difficulties in tracing assets, transfer of asset ownership, limited coordination among law enforcement institutions, and weak asset tracing mechanisms. In addition, there are also juridical obstacles in the form of the lack of comprehensive technical regulations regarding the execution of assets in in absentia cases. Therefore, strengthening regulations and increasing synergy among law enforcement officers are required so that the objective of recovering state losses can be achieved effectively.

SERVICE QUALITY AND CUSTOMER INTIMACY IN DRIVING DONOR LOYALTY: THE MEDIATING ROLE OF DONOR SATISFACTION IN ISLAMIC PHILANTHROPY

Senidin, Senidin, Djawoto, Djawoto, Santoso, Bambang Hadi
Abstract: This study aims to examine the effect of service quality and customer intimacy on donor loyalty, with donor satisfaction as a mediating variable, at LAZNAS BMH Surabaya. The research adopts a quantitative approach using… Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) and involves 376 active donors as respondents. The results indicate that service quality and customer intimacy have significant positive effects on donor satisfaction and donor loyalty. Customer intimacy shows a stronger direct influence on donor loyalty compared to service quality. Furthermore, donor satisfaction significantly affects donor loyalty and serves as a partial mediating variable in the relationship between service quality and customer intimacy with donor loyalty. The findings highlight that donor loyalty in Islamic philanthropic institutions is not only driven by service performance but also by relational engagement and satisfaction. Therefore, integrating service excellence with relationship-based strategies is essential to enhance donor loyalty and ensure long-term sustainability. This study contributes to the literature by providing empirical evidence on donor behavior within the context of Islamic philanthropy and offers practical insights for improving donor relationship management.

Anggaini, Risna, Nurrahman, Syafran, Ramadhani, Saskia Nur, Ndaung, Yohana Cesyika
Abstract: • DEF is a company engaged in the sale of coffee, both wholesale and retail. Currently, the sales recording system is still carried out manually, which often leads to problems such as delays in reporting, data entry errors,… rors, and difficulties in retrieving historical information. This study aims to improve the efficiency and accuracy of the sales recording system by implementing the INDEX MATCH and SUMIFS functions in Microsoft Excel. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with a case study approach, involving observation, interviews, and documentation of the existing system. The results show that the use of INDEX MATCH and SUMIFS can accelerate the data retrieval process, improve the accuracy of sales reports, and reduce input errors. This study provides a practical solution for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in implementing an efficient sales recording system without requiring significant investment in ERP software. However, the system still has limitations, such as dependence on Excel files that are vulnerable to damage or unintended changes, and the lack of advanced automation features such as receivables reminders or inter-departmental integration. Therefore, future research is expected to develop a web-based system with a centralized database.
