An assessment on Islamic banking ethics through some salient points in the prophetic tradition

Indonesia is experiencing a stable and rapid Islamic economy process since the emergence of Islamic banking. Asides from the development, some scholars argued that Islamic banking does not completely comply with primary Islamic obligations, such as ethics. The use of sharia banking is preferred in Indonesia, even though it only upholds one foundation in Islamic teaching. Therefore, it is imperative to present Islamic banking's ethical foundations with strong support from early teachings and test it empirically. This research presents several original concepts of Islamic ethics in the form of prophetic messages and teaching of Muhammad (peace be upon him), namely Iman (faith), Niyyah (intention), Amanah (trust), and 'Adalah (justice). The confirmatory composite analysis (CCA) was used to assess the four terms to 411 Islamic banking employees in the Indonesian context. The result showed that salient points in measuring employee ethics need to be ethical in all circumstances. This movement tends to positively provide a multiplier effect in the banking management and potentially serve as the educational function to the communities

The Love of Money and Religiosity Relationship to Ethics in Young Entrepreneurs: A Hadith Perspective

Young entrepreneurs face a constant tug-of-war between pursuing an entrepreneurial agenda, profit-seeking behavior, and ethical issues. Quantitatively, this study was the first to investigate the behavior of young entrepreneurs in terms of their love of money, religiosity, and ethical perceptions by adopting the hadith perspective upon developing the scales of all constructs. The respondents were 261 members of the Indonesian Young Entrepreneur Association in Sulawesi Selatan, Indonesia. This study also examined gender as the moderating variable. This study found that the love of money affects ethical perception negatively; on the other hand, religiosity positively affected ethics. Gender is found to moderate religiosity, but not love of money. These results signify the harmful problem of loving money too much upon young entrepreneurs’ ethics; furthermore, the scales developed from hadith revelation were able to capture the empirical findings significantly

Haematological responses of nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus Linnaeus 1758) to exposure to effluent from palm oil mills

Pollution by palm oil mill effluent (POME) is of great concern in Indonesia. POME pollution of the water can adversely affect aquatic organisms, especially fish. This study aims to analyse the effect of POME on the haematology of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), including red blood cells (RBC), white blood cells (WBC), haemoglobin (Hb), Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin Concentration (MCHC), Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin (MCH), Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) and haematocrit. A random experimental design was used (CRD) consisting of four treatments and five replications, including a Control (0% POME): Treatment A (10% of LC50-96 hours: 1.565 mg l-1), Treatment B (15% of LC50-96 hours: 2.347 mg l-1) and Treatment C (20% of LC50-96 hours: 3,130 mg l-1). The analysis of blood of fish exposed to POME for 15, 30 and 45 days revealed significant effects (p < 0.05) only on Hb and MCH on day 15 and WBC on day 30. This study indicates that exposure to POME can reduce the WBC value of tilapia recorded on day 30 in treatment C to a level lower than that recorded in other treatments. The Hb value recorded for tilapia exposed to POME on day 15 in treatment C was significantly higher than in the other treatments. Furthermore, POME caused a significant decrease in MCH recorded on day 15, with the lowest value recorded in treatment A. Based on the results of this study, POME can cause a significant decrease in WBC recorded on day 30 and MCH on day 15 and increase in Hb on day 15 in tilapia
