Konsep syariah merupakan konsep yang akhir-akhir ini mulai sering digunakan oleh sebuah entitas sebagai identitas perusahaannya. Konsep tersebut terutama diterapkan pada sistem manajemen pemasaran dan manajemen sumber daya mausia pada sebuah perusahaan. Namun, dalam manajemen keuangan perusahaan sendiri belum banyak diterapkan prinsip dan nilai-nilai Islam yang menjadikan perusahaan syariah tersebut berbeda dengan perusahaan konvensioanl dari sisi manajemen keuangannya. Penelitian terkait manajemen keuangan perusahaan juga masih sedikit, sehingga hal tersebut juga menyebabkan perusahaan yang menerapkan konsep syariah kekurangan literatur dalam mengelola keuangannya sesuai dengan prinsip syariah. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini dilakukan untuk dapat membedakan secara kritis manajemen keuangan perusahaan yang diterapkan berdasarkan prinsip dan nilai Islam, sehingga nantinya dapat menjadi acuan bagi perusahaan yang menerapkan prinsip syariah. Ruang lingkup manajemen keuangan perusahaan yang dibahas dalam penelitian ini adalah proses pengelolaan keuangan perusahaan yang diawali saat memperoleh pendanaan hingga pelaporan manajemen keuangannya. Oleh karena itu, pembahasan manajemen keuangan dalam penelitian ini mencakup hakikat tujuan perusahaan, nilai waktu uang, teori struktur modal, teori biaya modal, instrumen keuangan, teori penganggaran modal, manajemen moda kerja, dan laporan keuangan beserta analisisnya. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode analisis kritis terhadap teori-teori manajemen keuangan perusahaan konvensional, dengan menggunakan pendekatan normatif yang didasarkan pada nilai dan prinsip Islam yang terkandung dalam Al-Quran dan Hadits, serta pendekatan konseptual yang didasarkan pada asumsi-asumsi yang menyusun teori manajemen keuangan perusahaan konvensional. Hasil dan pembahasan dalam penelitian ini menyajikan konsep manajemen keuangan perusahaan yang didasarkan pada prinsip dan nilai-nilai Islam, berupa pencapaian tujuan mashlahah dan falah, yang berarti mengakomodasi kepentingan seluruh stakeholder mencakup pemilik perusahaan, karyawan, konsumen, juga masyarakat luas. Diikuti dengan konsep nilai waktu uang yang diperbolehkan dalam Islam pada beberapa kondisi, konsep alternatif pendanaan modal dan operasional bagi perusahaan yang sesuai dengan prinsip syariah beserta instrumen dan perhitungan biaya modalnya. Selain itu juga alternatif penilaian investasi yang terlepas dari diskonto, melainkan menggunakan standar emas. Pembahasan penelitian ini juga mencakup pelaporan manajemen keuangan yang harus disajikan oleh perusahaan beserta analisis yang harus dilakukan atas kinerja perusahaan, yang sesuai dengan prinsip dan nilai-nilai Islam.

In 1922, the Caspian Sea, with the consent of the revolutionary Government of the Soviet Union, experienced the commercial presence and shipping of the Weimar Germans who had commenced trade with the Iranian ports in southern coast of the Caspian through the Baltic Sea and the Volga River. Despite the establishment of the regular Hamburg-Caspian-Anzali line and the increased Irano-German trade in a short time, the line was stopped soon (1924). The present study, using historical-analytical methods, examines the impact of political conditions in Europe on the presence and short-term business activity of the Germans in the Caspian Sea. The findings show that in response to political developments in Europe, Soviet Russia had agreed to transit German goods through Russia and the Caspian to Iran. This endeavor, despite success, failed as the Soviet government revised her policy soon. This indicate that Soviet strategy, free from economic gains and losses, did not tolerate the presence and activity of the western countries in the Caspian Sea.

Waqf has a long history in Islam. It has played — and, in many cases, continues to play — a pivotal role in the advancement of the socio-economic well-being of the Muslim community. Throughout the centuries, waqf has funded many magnificent architectural monuments and public infrastructures all over the

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in the emergence of a new segment of vulnerable people who have been exposed to microcredit by loan sharks. They have either lost their jobs, been forced to take unpaid leave, or had to temporarily close their businesses due to Movement Control Orders (MCO) imposed by the government. This situation is expected to persist even after the pandemic has ended, and thus requires financial intervention. Zakat, the third pillar of Islam, serves as a wealth redistribution system that is expected to address poverty issues and social inequality so that “… wealth is not circulated solely among the rich” (Qur’an, 59:7). In the long run, a mustahiq (zakat-eligible recipient) should be able to escape poverty and eventually become a muzakki (zakat payer). On the other hand, the pandemic crisis has affected the amount of zakat collection. Some states in Malaysia and other countries have reported a deficit in zakat funds due to a decrease in zakat collection and an increase in zakat distribution.

Purpose

This study aims to propose priority solutions for mitigating the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic through the Social Safety Net (SSN) based on the Islamic objectives.

Design/methodology/approach

The analytic network process method is used in this study. Focus group discussions and in-depth interviews with relevant stakeholders were used to collect data and supplemented by a literature review to explore comprehensive information.

Findings

The findings indicate different opinions among experts, including regulators, practitioners, associations and academics regarding the most important priority solutions to the impact of Covid-19. However, experts agree that the highest priority solution is the SSN program in the lineage sector, specifically the distribution of the Family Hope Program. A program in the field of protecting the mind is the second priority solution. The program in the field of soul and wealth is the third priority solution.

Originality/value

This study contributes to the development of government policy to deal with the socioeconomic impact of Covid-19 based on the Islamic objectives by mapping the SSN through the five elements of protection, namely, faith, soul, mind, lineage and wealth protection based on priority solution.

The application of cash waqf in the general public has not developed widely compared to its considerable potential. This study aims to show how public awareness and inclination of the community in understanding the existence of cash waqf and trying to find normative reasons that become obstacles to the implementation of cash waqf. This study used quantitative methods and by descriptive approach to describe the results through an in-depth discussion. Respondents consisted of 390 people from various backgrounds spread across Indonesia, such as religion, age, education, income, and province. The findings indicate that, in general, the knowledge of the Indonesian people regarding cash waqf is still shallow in the classifications mentioned in this study, because many people still didn’t know well what waqf is. Moreover, most of the respondents stated that infaq is more convenient than waqf. However, this is driven by several obstacles that need to be considered when designing educational and outreach methods in the future. The role of this research is expected to lead to the fulfillment of the potential of cash waqf, which has such a significant function in society. This study could be used as a formulation of a socialization strategy to attract wakif candidates in Indonesia.

Background

It has been argued that Islamic leaders’ views are of utmost importance to designing a comprehensive sexual education (CSE) curriculum. Therefore, this study explored how Islamic leaders in Bangladesh present, argue for and against, and negotiate views on sexual and reproductive health (SRH) education for adolescents.

Methods

Semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven Imams using thematic analysis. The study was conducted in urban and rural areas, specifically the capital, Dhaka, as well as several rural villages in the Cumilla district.

Results

We found three main themes 1) appropriate topics for SRH education, 2) appropriate methods for SRH education, and 3) conservative versus progressive views.

Conclusion

We conclude that Islamic leaders seemed willing to try finding ways to support more comprehensive and liberal SRH education if they would be encouraged by reflective and inclusive dialogue. This study presents an empirically grounded opportunity for policy makers to consider the future role for religious leaders in the provision of SRH in Bangladesh.

Islamic finance has grown globally by leaps and bounds over the past three decades. In Malaysia, the success of the Islamic finance industry is heavily attributed to the comprehensive market structure and regulatory framework. With its current maturity and capacity, the industry is set to move forward to the next level with more sustained growth. Accordingly, Bank Negara Malaysia has issued the Strategy Paper on Value-based Intermediation (VBI) in March 2018 which deliberates the strategies to strengthen the roles and impact of Islamic finance towards not only a balanced social and commercial ecosystem, but also towards sustainable financial system. This paper discusses the role of Shariah governance in the implementation of VBI in the Islamic banking industry. In particular, this paper explores on how the board, management, and Shariah committee could contribute to the success of VBI within the scope of Shariah Committee composition and its integration with the board, as well as the management’s daily oversight of the banks’ activities. Indeed, an impactful implementation of VBI would require the participation and cooperation from various key stakeholders, but more importantly is the commitment from the internal drivers, i.e. the board, management, and Shariah Committee.

Purpose

This paper introduces the concept of manihah and develops a conceptual framework to address Malaysia's abandoned lands and food security issues.

Design/methodology/approach

This is a conceptual paper based on insights from the existing literature and secondary data on food security, abandoned lands and manihah. Based on the prevailing gaps, the study proposes a conceptual framework of the Manihah Agricultural Financing Model to address Malaysia's abandoned land and food security issues.

Findings

The proposed model can address abandoned lands and food security issues due to the new incorporation of manihah within Malaysia's agricultural and Islamic financial industries' milieu.

Research limitations/implications

This is a conceptual paper mainly intended to spark a discussion on the potentiality of manihah.

Practical implications

The paper contends that Islamic banks have a crucial role in furthering the socio-economic development agenda under the value-based intermediation (VBI). The paper will also be an excellent introduction to Islamic bank practitioners in understanding manihah's relevance to their daily operation.

Originality/value

This paper introduces manihah as the potential solution to food security issues by utilizing abandoned lands.

Most life (family) takÉful products today are structured on the form of unit-linked or investment-linked models. This essentially means that there is a clear segregation between the investment fund and the takÉful or tabarruÑ fund. Indeed, the concept of takÉful, which is premised on the principle of tabarruÑ, makes it convenient for family takÉful operators to adopt the investment-linked conventional life insurance model. However, when it comes to traditional conventional life insurance products, family takÉful seems to be lagging behind. This is due to some inherent features of traditional life insurance that cannot be replicated in family takÉful product design, such as the various guaranteed benefits, in the form of cash values, besides the normal contingency benefits (i.e., benefits linked to misfortunes of the participants such as death, disability, sickness, etc.) that are structured in traditional life insurance products. The paper studies how family takÉful can be competitively structured in a manner that allows various competitive product features demanded by the public to be offered, features that resemble those of traditional life insurance, without in any way violating SharÊÑah principles. In particular, the wadÊÑah concept is proposed to be adopted in family takÉful product design, as it will allow various forms of guaranteed benefits (non-participating benefits) to be offered to participants in a manner similar to their conventional counterparts. The paper argues that the cash values in the wadÊÑah fund are similar to the non-forfeiture benefit in a traditional life plan. However, it is important to note that there is a fundamental difference between these products, i.e. takÉful and conventional life insurance. Whilst the latter is based on a purchase-and-sale arrangement, the former is based on the principle of tabarruÑ, by which participants cooperate to help and indemnify one another on the basis of charitable spirit.

To address the specifi c challenge of fi nancing access, an alternative fi nancing tool for MSMEs is proposed — the Islamic concept of cash Waqf which originated from the Ott oman empire in the 15th century. Briefl y, cash Waqf is a movable type of Waqf where its corpus consisted purely or partially of cash. Of more importance, since the utilization of cash Waqf is permitt ed both in terms of religion and law in Indonesia, is that it can potentially be a successful practical solution to address the lack of fi nancing access
