This study investigates the implementation of Good Nazir Governance (GNG) in Indonesian Waqf Institutions, utilizing the GNG Index as an assessment tool. Despite the considerable potential of waqf in Indonesia, governance practices remain relatively underdeveloped. While the GNG Index presents a novel instrument for evaluating waqf performance, prior research on its application has been limited. This research aims to fill this gap by examining the extent to which waqf institutions adhere to GNG principles. Employing a mixed methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative data collected through purposive sampling and a questionnaire, this study reveals that only 45 percent of the 20 sampled waqf institutions achieve a "compliant" rating on the GNG Index. These findings highlight the need for further efforts to enhance GNG practices in Indonesian waqf institutions.

Customer welfare is the primary goal of Islamic social finance, making its improvement a key concern.

Despite its high Human Development Index (HDI), Yogyakarta paradoxically suffers from one of the highest poverty rates on the island of Java. This situation underscores the limitations of conventional human development metrics, particularly in regions with a predominantly Muslim population. To address this issue, this study introduces the Islamic Human Development Index (I-HDI) as an alternative framework that more effectively captures the relationship between human development and poverty in a Muslim-majority context.Utilizing secondary data from five districts in Yogyakarta spanning the years 2012 to 2023, and employing panel data regression alongside Granger causality analysis, the findings indicate that HDI has a limited and indirect effect on poverty. In contrast, I-HDI demonstrates a stronger and more direct negative correlation with poverty levels. Furthermore, Granger causality analysis reveals that changes in I-HDI significantly influence poverty levels, and vice versa, suggesting a dynamic and bidirectional interaction between these two variables.These results imply that I-HDI offers a more accurate reflection of human development in Muslim-majority regions, capturing dimensions often overlooked by traditional indices. Ultimately, the findings highlight the intricate interaction between human development and poverty, providing valuable insights for policymakers to create more effective poverty alleviation strategies grounded in Islamic principles and local cultural values

Zakat Institutions and marketplace platforms have established a
collaboration to adapt to the growing shift toward digital transaction
patterns in managing Zakat, Infaq, and Shadaqah (ZIS). Marketplaces
offer convenience in ZIS collection, while LAZ ensures Sharia
compliance in fund management. This study highlights how such
collaboration significantly expands the reach of ZIS collection,
presenting immense potential, but also identifies challenges in ensuring
Sharia compliance and accountability. The research employs a
qualitative methodology to explore the dynamics of the collaboration
between Zakat Institutions and marketplace platforms. Thematic
analysis was applied to identify key themes related to the opportunities
and challenges of the collaboration. The research contributes to the
understanding of digital platforms' role in faith-based financial
management, offering practical insights for enhancing cooperation
between LAZ and marketplaces. It emphasizes the need for dialogue,
public education about ZIS and qurban, and system adjustments to
ensure Sharia compliance. The findings have practical implications for
improving digital ZIS management through enhanced accountability
and regulatory frameworks, making this collaboration a model for
leveraging technology in religious fund management.

Introduction
The recent escalation of the conflict between Israel and Palestine triggered a global solidarity movement, including Boycott campaigns against products affiliated with Israel.
Objectives
This study aims to analyze the determinants of digitalization's influence on online boycott product buying behavior among Muslim communities in Jabodetabek (Jakarta–Bogor–Depok–Tangerang—Bekasi), the Jakarta Metropolitan Area, or Greater Jakarta.
Method
This study's hypothesis is that social media, religiosity, subjective norms, behavioral control, and attitude have a positive and significant influence on boycotting behavior. It used an online survey with a randomly selected sample of 100 respondents. To test the hypothesis, it used structural equation modeling (SEM) with partial least squares (PLS).
Results
The results show that social media and religiosity have a positive and significant influence on boycotting attitudes, while subjective norms and behavioral control do not have a significant influence on boycotting attitudes. Boycotting attitude also has a positive and significant influence on buying behavior. The R-square value of the model is 0.763, which means that the independent variables can explain 76.3% of the variability of buying behavior.
Implications
This study also provides implications for marketers and policymakers to understand the factors influencing the attitude and behavior of boycotting products affiliated with Israel among Muslim communities in Jabodetabek.
Originality/Novelty

Many countries have carried out the boycott, divestment, and sanction (BDS) movement. Research on this topic contains an interesting sentimental side and needs to be mapped to help future research. This study aims to determine the problem's evolution and mapping, along with sentiment analysis related to BDS. This study uses a descriptive statistical analysis approach combined with meta-analysis and sentiment analysis of secondary data in the form of metadata from 81 Scopus-indexed articles published over the past 15 years, which were then processed using NVivo 15. The findings of this study reveal that the majority of studies have a somewhat negative perspective on BDS. Negative sentiment shows that many studies use sharp and negative sentences, as well as sentences that cause debate; this is related to the "Hasbara" propaganda built by Israel, while positive sentiment on this topic is small due to the lack of research using positive sentences about BDS. This study can provide knowledge about the sentiment of the boycott movement and be a reference for future research. This research can be helpful for pro-Palestine parties and BDS supporters in increasing publications on the boycott movement from various sectors so that it becomes a means to support Palestine’s independence.

In the aftermath of World War II, business values proliferated throughout
the West and Japanese cultures. Notably, the latter emphasizes
collectivity, loyalty, and family-centeredness in the workplace, whereas
the former tends to prioritize output. However, these cultures have failed
to incorporate religious values into their philosophical foundations and
practices.

Islamic Securities Crowdfunding (ISCF) is a crowdfunding method for
MSMEs or start-ups, where investors obtain ownership in the form of
securities based on Islamic principles. With the large amount of funds
collected, it is necessary to increase data security and data transactions;
however, the system implemented by the platform is still centralized so
that cybercrimes can occur that threaten personal data or funds. This
chapter analyses the potential of implementing a blockchain system on a
securities platform for Islamic crowdfunding

The enactment of regulations regarding the obligation to guarantee halal products in Indonesia according to Law Number 33 2014 is mandatory and binds for SMEs owners to have halal guarantees for all products that are offered. However, the number of Indonesian SMEs that have been halal-certified remains very low and far from their potential. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of the level of literacy, religiosity, and legal compliance of SMEs owners on halal product guarantee regulations using a quantitative approach with a research instrument in the form of a questionnaire distributed to SMEs owners in Depok. This study used a purposive sampling technique and obtained as many as 152 food SMEs that had not been halal certified. The results of this study show that halal literacy and religiosity influence the motivation of SMEs owners to apply for halal certifications. There are still SMEs owners who do not know or understand the rules and requirements for applying for halal certification. Legal compliance has no influence on SME owners’ motivation to apply for halal product certification. The majority of respondents complied with business regulations but did not have halal certification. The results of this study are expected to contribute to the implementation of halal certification policies and growth of the halal industry in Indonesia.

The 11th Global Food Security Index (2022) shows an increase in agriculture risk and a decline in the food environment for the third year which is feared to threaten global food security.  It is urgent to have more concern for food security in advanced and emerging economies, such as Developing Eight (D-8) economies.  This paper analyzes the determinants of agriculture credit supply in D-8’s banking and how they affect agriculture risk.  The study uses panel quarterly time series data from 2013Q01-2022Q04 and cross-section data from 7 countries as members of the Developing Eight (D8) Organization. This study employs the dynamic panel analysis, Panel Autoregressive Distributed Lag (PARDL) - Pooled Mean Group (PMG) approach. The result shows that agriculture credit supply and its explanatory variables have a significant relationship in the long run. Unfortunately, only previous credit supply and agriculture risk contribute to the agriculture credit supply in the short run. The result varies across countries in the short run.  Banking in Indonesia considers agricultural risk by decreasing the agricultural credit supply while banking in Malaysia and Turkey maintains a positive agricultural credit supply despite the increase in agricultural risk.

Singapore stands out among ASEAN countries for its notable accomplishments in sustainable finance. Singapore is the sole ASEAN country featured in the top 15 rankings of the thirteenth edition of the Global Green Finance Index. Therefore This study aims to find the determining factors for Singapore's success in the implementation of sustainable finance. This research uses qualitative methods and literature review approaches. Upon examining the reports and official websites from the Financial Services Authority (OJK) (Indonesia) and the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) (Singapore), it is evident that Singapore has implemented similar initiatives as Indonesia in addressing its three key issues; lack of knowledge and involvement in the financial sector, standardization of green categorization, and support and collaboration for business opportunities. Both countries have implemented national campaigns, published green taxonomies, and fostered public-private partnership to address these issues. In this study, a new finding was revealed in terms of culture financial understanding. Singapore lacks particular rules pertaining to the promotion of financial literacy. However, Singapore boasts a far greater financial literacy rate compared to other ASEAN countries. The high level of financial literacy certainly has positive influences on the implementation of sustainable finance.
