With three main indicators, namely tahdzib al fard (individual education), iqamah al adl ( justice), and maslahah (welfare). A comparative quantitative method using simple additive weighting (SAW) to measure the weight and performance rating of Islamic banking was used in this study. The results of the study indicated that the Islamic performance of Islamic Commercial Banks in Indonesia was below average. However, the merger has a positive impact on improving the performance of Islamic Commercial Banks in Indonesia in the post-merger period.
