The Framework of Maslahah Performa as Wealth Management System and its Implication for Public Policy Objectives

Muslims are encouraged to plan their lives economically and financially in order to achieve the objectives of Shariah. The intention to conduct Islamic economical and financial planning must be aligned with the application of Maqasid Shariah, which emphasizes on the protection of essential needs of Muslims that include preservation of wealth. Furthermore, goal of wealth management is to achieve falah. Objective of wealth management is to get maslahah. Maslahah based wealth management can be derived from cycle of acquiring and utilizing wealth (Firdaus, 2014). Acquiring wealth can be carried out by fullfilling worship orientation, internal process orientation, talent orientation, learning orientation, customer orientation and wealth orientation. Utilizing wealth can be carried out by allocating asset to wealth orientation, customer orientation, learning orientation, talent orientation, internal process orientation, worship orientation. This study proposes the framework of Maslahah Performa as wealth management system in order to highlight its contribution to more comprehensive, rational and realistic answers to contemporary public policy issues in Islamic economic system and to thereby increase awareness of Maslahah Performa approach in structuring and developing public policy products. For this purpose, the authors examine the position of the Maslahah Performa concept in public policy. They also present the essential elements of Maslahah Performa and explain how this approach may contribute to better solutions for various public policy issues and challenges

THE INTEGRATION OF ISLAMIC COMMERCIAL AND SOCIAL ECONOMY THROUGH PRODUCTIVE WAQF TO PROMOTE PESANTREN WELFARE

A pesantren (Islamic boarding school) as an Islamic educational institution based on self-financing system has implemented waqf as a pillar of its development and become a potential waqf asset development. The productive waqf is considered as a key instrument for providing funds to actualizing its educational program. Since both productive waqf and pesantren emphasize sustainability, and since productive waqf can assist to support the process of education in pesantren, the study aims to investigate an integrated Islamic social and commercial economy model applicable in pesantren. This will ensure utilization of the combined resources of productive waqf and pesantren in promoting pesantren welfare. The study focuses on 263 operational chief, assatidz or teacher, musyrif, musyrifah or santri companion and santri or students in Pesantren in Java and Sumatra using. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) adopted to examine the relationship among the five constructs i.e., productive waqf, business unit, project financing, human resource and pesantren welfare. While the reliability and validity are established, the structural relationship between the constructs reveals that the integrated model has a strong relationship with the pesantren welfare in many ways. In relation with business unit and profitable commercial activities, human resources have its significant role to assist pesantren tries its level best to realize developed productive waqf. Specifically, the result shows all five constructs have significant impact in promoting pesantren welfare, which suggests that the model as well as the instrument should be further implemented in pesantren

Efisiensi Baitul Māl wat Tamwīl (BMT) Pesantren di Indonesia

Pesantren and Baitul Māl Wa Tamwīl (BMT) are not seemingly equal things to compare. The first focuses on spiritual and religious education, while the latter concentrates on the economic and financial activities. Nevertheless, Pesantrens have been considering the significance of economic development and empowerment, through a micro-finance institution. Hence, the analysis of its performance, in particular, the efficiency level is inevitable. This paper attempts to analyze the technical efficiency (including pure technical and scale efficiencies) of some Pesantren BMTs by using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Additionally, this article also analyses the role of Pesantren BMTs for developing Micro-Entreprises (MEs), as well as toanalyse the roles of Pesantren BMT in ME’s wealth management. The results show that: first, generally, the efficiency of Pesantren BMTs is relatively low. Scale efficiency also indicates that operating of BMTs are still far from the optimal scale. Moreover, the average technical efficiencies (TE), scale efficiency (SE), and pure technical efficiency (PTE) of Pesantren BMTs in terms of intermediation have always been higher than those in terms of production. The possible improvements for inefficient Pesantren BMTs include increasing debitors (Y1) and total financing (Y2). They have to always been struggling to collect sizeable depositors, especially MEs, as well as total financing as their main purpose to empower them and enhance their economic development. The other possible improvements are to increase the collection (X4) and the distribution funds of ZISWAF (Y3). This result suggests that most Pesantren BMTs still focus on baitut tamwīl activities, extending financing as their main business. While the future, BMTs should play a more active role in baitul māl activities as their primary business. Second, Pesantren BMTs are useful for developing MEs and contribute a tremendous social benefit to society in several ways. Although the efficiency of BMTs is relatively low since generally, BMTs have achieved both profit and social benefit. Therefore, Islamic financing might be an appropriate model for MEs.</p

Baitul Māl Wat Tamwīl (BMT) sebagai Alternatif Strategis Memajukan Usaha Mikro Kecil Sektor Pertanian

Micro and Small Enterprises (MSE’s) has an important role in economic development in Indonesia. However, MSE’s still has a lot of problem. They are still having difficulties to access business financing provided by Islamic financial institutions and banking. This paper attempts to analyze the benefit, opportunity, cost and risk of Islamic financial institutions espesially Baitul Mal wat Tamwil (BMT) in promoting MSE’s utilizing Analytical Network Process (ANP) method with Benefit Opportunity Cost Risk (BOCR) approach, including the proposed alternative strategies. Results of this study show that the highest priority of cost and risk is the lack of support and the understanding of community. Moreover the highest priority of benefit and opportunity is that Islamic Financial Institutions has a just profit-loss sharing system i.e., taking into account the possibility of profit and loss, and BMT has a wide and deep outreach for the poor and poorest. The priorities of strategic alternative in the agricultural sector to promote SME are providing alternative financing schemes based on sub-activities, establishing Linkage Program between BUS-BPRS-LKA-Government, organizing incentive schemes, and forming a National Agrarian Bank, which will be totally focused on projects in agriculture.</p

Layanan Urun Dana Shariah (Sharia Equity Crowdfunding) Bagi Umkm, Mana Yang Harus Jadi Prioritas?

Equity crowdfunding has emerged as one of many alternative financing options chosen by start-ups that cannot be financed by banks. There have been numerous studies conducted on equity crowdfunding. However, there have been few studies on Sharia equity crowdfunding. This research is expected to provide start-ups with the priorities they need to pursue in the use of Sharia equity crowdfunding, analyze their problems, and develop authority strategies to develop Sharia equity crowdfunding in Indonesia using the Interpretative Structural Modeling (ISM) approach. According to the findings of the study, information disclosure is still regarded as a critical issue in the development of Sharia equity crowdfunding. The main strategy for developing Sharia equity crowdfunding is the existence of regulations as a foundation for community protection and security, as well as Sharia aspects such as Sharia declarations, contractual aspects, Sharia issuers, Sharia stock instruments, Sharia banks as transaction intermediaries, and the Sharia Supervisory Board, which thoroughly oversees and evaluates them. Furthermore, Sharia equity crowdfunding is highly recommended as a financing solution for start-ups. As a result, it was deemed critical for this study to create a Sharia equity crowdfunding model as a form of advanced acceleration to provide new budgeting for a start-up, which then graduates to a sustainable business

Dimensions of the construct of Islamic financial inclusion for students at the University of Darussalam Gontor, Indonesia

Access to finance has an important role in improving people's standard of living and welfare. One of the factors causing the low interest in access to various banking institutions, products, and services is the lack of financial education among Indonesian people. Education is an important point for increasing financial literacy and inclusion. Good education is carried out at productive ages (15-64 years). For this reason, the management of integrated financial access is something that must receive special attention. In this study, researcher took objects at Darussalam Gontor University by taking UNIDA student respondents from each faculty using a random sampling technique with Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) testing on Lisrel 8.8 software. By using financial literacy (financial knowledge, financial behavior, and financial attitudes) and the level of religiosity as exogenous latent variables on the level of Islamic financial inclusion of UNIDA students as endogenous latent variables. The results show that there is a very significant and positive relationship between exogenous latent variables and endogenous latent variables. So it can be interpreted that someone who has a good level of literacy and also a good level of religiosity, has a better level of access to financial services
