Abstract:Islamic economics operates as a normative framework prioritizing social justice, equitable wealth redistribution, and collective wellbeing. Despite its robust philosophical foundations, empirical consensus regarding how…
these tenets translate into measurable welfare outcomes across heterogeneous developing nations remains highly fragmented. This study addresses this critical gap by executing a systematic literature review guided by the PRISMA 2020 statement to synthesize empirical evidence on the operationalization of Zakat, Waqf, and Islamic Social Finance (ISF) as structural instruments for poverty reduction. Departing from traditional descriptive reviews, this paper introduces an original analytical taxonomy that maps the operational mechanics of ISF against micro-level and macro-level development outcomes. Based on a rigorous multi-stage screening of peer-reviewed empirical studies published between 2020 and 2025 across emerging economies, a final synthesized sample of $n = 10$ high-quality primary articles was evaluated. The qualitative narrative synthesis reveals that integrated ISF instruments exert a structurally positive impact on poverty alleviation, income optimization, and socio-economic empowerment, particularly when embedded within digital financial ecosystems and formal financial inclusion frameworks. However, the analysis uncovers substantial outcome heterogeneity, demonstrating that welfare efficacy is highly conditional upon institutional governance quality, targeting accuracy, and localized implementation designs. The structural novelty of this research lies in its empirical crystallization of the explicit boundary conditions under which normative faith-based capital successfully disrupts poverty traps, offering an evidence-based operational blueprint for policymakers and Sharia social institutions in the Global South.
Abstract:Philanthropy has increasingly evolved from a form of charitable assistance into a strategic actor within sustainable development processes. However, much of the existing practice and literature still treats philanthropy…
as an isolated or supplementary intervention, limiting its potential to generate systemic and long-term impact. This article aims to critically examine the role of philanthropic institutions within a broader ecosystem of sustainable development, emphasizing the importance of multi-stakeholder collaboration involving government, the private sector, academia, and local communities.
Using a qualitative literature review with a conceptual and analytical orientation, this study synthesizes scholarly works on philanthropy, collaborative governance, corporate social responsibility, Islamic philanthropy, and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with a particular focus on Indonesia and the Global South. The analysis demonstrates that philanthropic contributions become more effective and sustainable when embedded within an integrated development ecology, rather than operating through fragmented and project-based approaches.
The findings highlight philanthropy’s strategic roles as a catalyst for social innovation, a bridge between sectors, and a facilitator of long-term social investment. Islamic philanthropic instruments such as zakat and productive waqf further illustrate how value-based financial mechanisms can support inclusive development when professionally managed and aligned with national and global development agendas. This study contributes conceptually by reframing philanthropy as a system-level change agent within a sustainable development ecology, offering an integrative lens for understanding collaboration, governance, and impact. The article concludes that sustainable development is best achieved not through isolated institutional efforts, but through coordinated, trust-based ecosystems in which philanthropy plays a transformative and connective role.
Abstract:Abstract: Mosques are places of jamaah and centers of social and economic activity for Muslims. Still, in the process of managing their activities, DKM administrators often face challenges related to efficiency, integration,…
ion, and transparency of information. This research aims to develop a web-based Mosque Management Information System (SIMMAS) that integrates the management of ZISWAF (zakat, infaq, sadaqah, waqf), qurban, inventory, activity information, and digital payments via QRIS. Using the Rapid Application Development (RAD) method, the system was designed to be developed quickly and in alignment with user needs. The evaluation was conducted using the Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) approach, involving 60 respondents comprising mosque administrators and congregants. The results show that all SIMMAS services received CSI scores above 85%, indicating a high level of user satisfaction, particularly with the religious lecture scheduling feature. Nevertheless, there remains room for improvement, especially in the responsiveness and empathy aspects of financial and inventory services. This research is expected to serve as a foundation for the continued development of SIMMAS to become more effective, efficient, and digitally integrated in mosque management.

wakaf yang sangat besar. Namun, terdapat gap dan ambiguitas regulasi antara hukum positif dengan dinamika fikih kontemporer. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode yuridis-normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan (statute approach) dan konseptual (conceptual approach). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa regulasi eksis belum sepenuhnya memitigasi risiko hukum terkait legalitas platform non-Nazhir sebagai intermediary, perlindungan konsumen (wakif), dan kejelasan skema potongan biaya platform. Diperlukan harmonisasi regulasi yang integratif antara Badan Wakaf Indonesia (BWI), Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (OJK), dan Dewan Syariah Nasional-Majelis Ulama Indonesia (DSN-MUI) guna menciptakan kepastian hukum dan menjaga akuntabilitas pengelolaan wakaf uang digital di Indonesia.

awab nadzir terhadap penurunan nilai wakaf akibat faktor ekonomi masih belum diatur secara jelas sehingga menimbulkan ketidakpastian hukum. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kedudukan hukum nadzir dan implikasi yuridisnya dalam pengelolaan wakaf uang berjangka waktu berdasarkan Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 25 Tahun 2018. Metode yang digunakan adalah penelitian hukum normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan dan pendekatan konseptual melalui analisis terhadap peraturan perundang-undangan, doktrin, dan bahan hukum terkait. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa nadzir berkedudukan sebagai subjek hukum yang memiliki peran ganda, yaitu sebagai penerima amanah sekaligus pihak yang terikat hubungan kontraktual dengan wakif, sehingga memiliki hak dan kewajiban dalam pengelolaan, pengembangan, serta pengembalian pokok wakaf. Tanggung jawab nadzir tidak bersifat mutlak dan hanya dapat dibebankan apabila terbukti terdapat kelalaian, penyalahgunaan kewenangan, atau pelanggaran hukum. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa masih terdapat kekosongan norma mengenai batas tanggung jawab nadzir terhadap risiko ekonomi eksternal yang menyebabkan belum terwujudnya kepastian hukum dalam wakaf uang berjangka waktu.

in a dysfunctional manner, namely the waqf objects are recorded as Public Property. In order for the irregularity of the waqf assets to be in accordance with the waqf pledge made, the owner of the waqf rights takes over the waqf assets. The validity of Nazir as the owner of the waqf rights in the event of misappropriation of waqf assets based on Resolution no. 22/Pdt.G/2017/MS-MEDAN is reviewed from the provisions of Article 42 of Law Number 41 of 2004 concerning Waqf which explains: "It is the duty of nazhir to manage and dispose of waqf assets for their intended use, according to their function and designation." So that the waqf assets that were originally borrowed by the owner of the waqf rights can be disposed of if there is misuse of waqf assets. The Judge's reason for permitting the takeover of misused waqf assets in Decision no. 22/Pdt.G/2017/MS-MEDAN, based on the findings of the facts by the Judge, is of the opinion that legally there is no legal justification for the Defendant/Applicant to hold objects that are unlawfully and unlawfully owned and managed as YPI Bireuen's claim items.

Abstract:MSMEs have played considerable role in the socio-economic development in Indonesia. However, the institutions continue to experience numerous challenges and constrains in various aspects. Among the prominent issues include…
de the financing structure, lack of qualified human resources, complexity of government regulations and bureaucracy in some areas such as business start-up and etc. There is hardly any literature that has critically surveyed the issue of why the MSMEs shy away and whether there is an alternative financing model that they can adopt. The present study critically assesses the related literatures and proposes a viable cash waqf-based model which has the potential to benefit Islamic MSMEs. To ensure the successful running of the cash-waqf based model, it is recommended for the model to be established under the umbrella of a respectable Islamic body, namely Indonesia Waqf Council/Badan Wakaf Indonesia (BWI).
