POSISI SANKSI DAN DENDA PAJAK DALAM ISLAM PADA INDONESIA SEBAGAI NEGARA HUKUM

A country that is not yet prosperous or has not been able to finance the development of its own civilization must be supported by its peoples. For example, Indonesia is implementing Self-Assesment tax collection system to facilitate its management. This qualitative research with descriptive explanation seeks to see the position of tax sanctions and fines in Islam in Indonesia as a state of law. As a country based on law, Indonesia must also be seen from the plurality of its population, which is dominated by Muslims. In the taxation system, Islam views that there are several main conditions that make taxes mandatory. In addition, its implementation must tend to the interests of Muslims. However, adaptation is needed to achieve the benefit of all Indonesian people. Based on the results of the research found, the position of Islamic law in viewing tax sanctions and fines was identified as supporting the implementation that had been designed by the state. Every form of violation is an attempt to harm the state which will then have an impact on the general public. Each regulation that has been designed requires support to achieve the interests of the Indonesian people, especially Muslims.

Rulings on Excess Wealth of Unknown Sources According to Islamic Law

Islamic law places a paramount emphasis on safeguarding wealth and preserving it from loss, and it deems its preservation as one of the objectives of Sharia. Islamic law views wealth in a general sense and regards unexplained surplus wealth from a humanitarian perspective. The aim is to elucidate the comprehensiveness, adaptability, and relevance of Islamic Sharia, demonstrating its capability to address contemporary needs by providing rulings that uphold benefits, prevent harm, and contribute to enlightening people about the principles of wealth preservation. Contemporary and emerging issues are numerous and require clarification of their legal rulings, particularly new forms such as the treatment of abandoned funds in customs, the status of deposits in commercial banks, the handling of profits in banks with unknown owners, funds in the possession of money changers, and those held in exchange centers. These issues fall under the purview of Islamic jurisprudence, akin to the concept of "lost property," due to their significant importance in jurisprudential deliberations and contemporary practical applications. The resultant conclusion is that surplus funds of unknown origin are treated akin to lost property. Contemporary and emerging matters necessitate a legal ruling, and if the owner of such funds cannot be found, they are generally allocated to charitable causes, which are broader than the concept of Muslim interests. These causes encompass various charitable endeavors, such as aiding the poor and constructing mosques, as they are considered avenues of charity.

Analisis Faktor-faktor yang Mempengaruhi Minat Masyarakat Menabung di Bank Syariah Indonesia

Islamic banking is an Islamic economic phenomenon that has become an alternative and increasingly popular with people around the world, including millennials. Not only to accommodate the interests of Muslims, but also to integrate personal interests and community benefits in a balanced form. Islamic banking in Indonesia is currently experiencing rapid development. As a country with the largest Muslim population in the world, Indonesia certainly has a very important role in building the Islamic economy. This can be used as a great opportunity by Bank Syariah Indonesia in optimizing its role to support the country's plan to develop Islamic finance in Indonesia. It can be seen that the number of customers at Bank Syariah Indonesia is still far from expectations when viewed from the large Muslim population in Indonesia. This indicates that there are still many Muslim residents in Indonesia who still do not use the services of Sharia Banks in Indonesia. This indicates that there are still many Muslim residents in Indonesia who still do not use the services of Sharia Banks in Indonesia. This can arise by several factors that are the reason why the Indonesian Muslim population is still reluctant to use the services of Bank Syariah Indonesia. The large gap between the Muslim population in Indonesia and the number of customers of Bank Syariah Indonesia is one of the attractions for researchers to conduct an analysis of the Factors Influencing Public Interest in Saving at Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI). Interest can be interpreted as an interest or tendency to choose what is desired. One example is the interest and tendency towards interest in saving, for example a religiously inclined person will choose Islamic banks over conventional banks because based on Islamic religious law which prohibits his people from transacting ribawi (interest). According to (crow & crow 1998) states that there are six that affect interest, namely: income factors, job stability factors, financial goal factors, risk avoidance factors, knowledge factors, social and cultural environmental factors. While the author in conducting this study used descriptive qualitative methods with data collection techniques used was to conduct structured interviews to the community with the help of research instruments in the form of mobile phone cameras as photo documentation and recordings during interviews with the people of Bandung City which at this time became a source of research information. The results obtained from research conducted by the author to the people of Bandung city resulted in income, risk avoidance / security factors and social and cultural environmental factors are factors for people interested in saving their money in Indonesian Islamic banks (BSI).

Emergence of Communalism in Modern India: A Critical Analysis (1905-1992)

Throughout its history, India has been the target of a multitude of external aggressions, which have frequently resulted in initial confrontations between domestic forces and foreign aggressors. In India, the coexistence principle has played a significant role in the development of a multicultural and multiethnic society. However, the memory avenue remains scarred by the enduring effects of the violent conflict. Local communities, places of worship, and valuables were destroyed during the incessant conflict between regional regimes that opposed the expanding Mughal Empire prior to British colonization. Throughout this period, devout Hindus who harbored this resentment held in high regard monarchs who vehemently opposed the Islamic invaders. Following the British removal of Muslim authorities, the Muslim population, in conjunction with non-Muslim segments, extended a helping hand to the indigent and swore to defend India's independence. The sociological study of group dynamics exerted a significant impact on the political terrain of the Indian independence movement by fostering solidarity among individuals of various religious and racial affiliations who opposed the colonialists. Nevertheless, the British possessed knowledge of the religious and linguistic dichotomies that existed among the various communities in India, in addition to their extensive chronicle of internal turmoil and discord. Consequently, they devised the "divide and rule" strategy by specifically exploiting communal elements. At the behest of the authorities, the communal infection extensively permeated the Indian political system during the British colonial period. The Indian National Congress was established in 1885 in opposition to the British approach of fostering animosity between the Muslim and Hindu communities. In an effort to operate as a nationalist entity, the recently established organization solicited contributions from all sectors of Indian society and exerted diplomatic pressure on the government. Notwithstanding the Congress comprising leaders from both communities, a considerable number of Muslim leaders retained apprehensions concerning the impact of Hindu leaders. They held the view that the Congress, which was under the control of a westernized Hindu oligarchy, would be incapable of effectively representing Muslim interests and could potentially be detrimental to them. Measures were taken to enhance Muslim support on a national level in order to protect the interests and well-being of the Muslim community. Many interpreted the Viceroy of Bengal, Lord Curzon,'s 1905 decision to partition the province into communal territories as an effort to further segregate the Hindu and Muslim communities.

Muslim Organizations and Colonialism in Africa

Muslim organizations have long played an important role in shaping African societies and cultures. Prior to the colonial era in the late 19th century, traditional Muslim institutions governed religious doctrine and practice, administered religious endowments and supported cultural and educational activities across the continent. However, the imposition of European colonial rule disrupted these indigenous structures and systems of authority. Colonial powers sought to undermine the influence of Muslim leaders and control how Islam was practiced. They imposed restrictions on many Muslim organizations and activities.In response, new reformist and revivalist movements emerged to defend Islamic identities and practices against colonial interference. Cultural and educational associations also grew to promote Muslim knowledge and identity. Some organizations began espousing early strains of anti-colonial nationalism. As African states gained independence in the mid-20th century, Muslim organizations regained legitimacy and restored many traditional institutions. New mass membership bodies emerged focused on social and political empowerment. Today, Muslim organizations play an active role in communities through education, social services and representing Muslim interests to governments, though debates continue around modernization, identities and the relationship between religion and politics.

Model Design of Sociopreneurship: Halal Based-Development of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Through Zakat Institutions

Purpose — This study aims to examine the extent to which halal branding and digital media utilisation affect consumer behaviour. It also intends to provide an overview of the sociopreneurship model—a model that targets both financial and social benefits, while also working to solve problems in the community—to empower micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) through the use of halal branding and digital media managed by zakat institutions. Design/Methodology/Approach — In the first stage, this study employs a quantitative approach to analyse the factors of digital use and halal branding in influencing consumer behaviour. In this respect, multiple linear regression was used to analyse 172 research respondents. In the second stage, it uses a qualitative approach in designing a sociopreneurship model based on the results of the first stage. Findings — This study found that religiosity and halal branding have a positive and significant effect on Muslim interest in buying halal products. In addition, the factors of price, religiosity and halal branding also positively and significantly affect satisfaction in consuming halal products. The sociopreneurship model can be applied to zakat institutions to facilitate MSMEs in developing product quality through halal branding and digital utilisation. Originality/Value — The unique characteristic of this study lies in the use of both the quantitative and qualitative approaches in carrying out this research. It is hoped that the model offered in this study will be able to develop the MSME sector to keep abreast of modern trends despite the limited capital available to such institutions. Research Limitations/Implications — The sample used in this study was restricted to Indonesia, with a limited number of respondents. Moreover, data collection was conducted through questionnaires without in-depth interviews with consumers, MSMEs and zakat institutions. Practical Implications — The zakat institution’s scheme or model of sociopreneurship will be beneficial for the modern development of MSMEs even though they possess limited capital. Zakat institutions provide three types of assistance: 1) direct monitoring that starts from production inputs to the production process and which continues to the distribution process to ensure that the products developed by the fostered MSMEs are truly halal; 2) assistance at the digital marketing stage; and 3) assistance in accessing loan funds under qarḍ ḥasan (benevolent loans) schemes. Social Implications — This research has a social impact on the development of MSMEs through the implementation of the concept of sociopreneurship. In this case, MSME actors who are classified as donation recipients can turn into donors, which would assist in reducing poverty levels. Therefore, social and business benefits will be achieved through the modern development of MSMEs.

Analysis of Islamic Law Accommodation In National Law during the Era of Democratic Transition Government 2001-2004

This paper aims to analyze the position of Islamic law in the national legal system during the democratic transition (2001-2004), which was led by Megawati Sukarnoputri. Although she and the supporting party she led (PDIP) are often associated with secularism (at least considered insensitive to the problems of Muslims), during her reign from 2001 to 2004 several regulations were born that accommodated the interests of Muslims in the form of laws. This study uses a normative research method with primary-based secondary data sources. This study found that of the 126 laws that were legislated during the 2001-2004 transitional government, fourteen of them had intersections with the interests of Muslims which were accommodated in two patterns; first, formalist accommodation where the law strengthened the enactment of Islamic law for Muslims in Indonesia, such as Law No. 18 of 2001 concerning Special Autonomy for the Province of NAD; Law No. 18 of 2003 concerning Advocates, and so on. Second, accommodation in the form of substantive laws that are in line with Maqashid Shari'ah or at least do not contradict Islamic teachings as illustrated in Law No. 20 of 2001 concerning Amendments to Law No. 31 of 1999 concerning Corruption, Law No. 30 of 2002 concerning the Corruption Commission, Law No. 23 of 2002 concerning Child Protection, and others.

Pancasila as the Single Principle: Its Urgency for the Importance of Indonesian Muslims

This paper aims to explore and explain the urgency of the Single Principle of Pancasila for the benefit of Indonesian Muslims. This writing was inspired by President Soeharto's speech in front of the session of the House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia on August 16, 1982, which raised, among other things, the urgency of the Single Principle of Pancasila for the national unity and integrity. However, this, later, received strong protests, especially from Muslims, because it was considered that it would make Pancasila a religion. In fact, the main mission of the Single Principle of Pancasila is to solve the basis issue of the community organizations before the state of Indonesia was passed on to the Post-45 generations. Using a historical-socio-political approach, it can be seen that behind the acceptance of Pancasila as the only principle by Muslims there is a great wisdom, namely the loss of concern or suspicion that Muslims have not fully accepted a national state based on Pancasila. With this loss of suspicion, the interests of Muslims are getting more attention from the state, among them are: (1) religious teachings are increasingly permittable, even supported; (2) the aspirations of Muslims one after another are fulfilled, such as the enactment of the Religious Justice Act, the National Education System Act, the Compilation of Islamic Law, the broadcasting of Arabic lessons on television; (3) religious life is becoming more vibrant; and (4) Islamic studies are also developing. However, when there was a reform, the policy of enforcing the Single Principle of Pancasila was actually revoked with the issuance of the Decree of the People's Consultative Assembly Number: XVIII / MPR / 1998 of 1998, thus opening up opportunities for riots and divisions of the nation.

Britain in the Awareness of Muslim Literature; Early Historical and Geographical Knowledge until the time of al-Idrīsī (217 AH/ 833 CE – 560 AH/ 1165 CE)

Muslim authors paid a significant interest in European peoples and countries in the view of growing the relationship between Muslim World and Medieval Christian Europe and the flourish of authorship in Muslim scholarship. In fact, a part of the Muslim's interest was given to the British Isles in spite of it is far distance of Muslim lands. Therefore, the present article focuses on principle significant questions; what was Britain for early Muslim authors? and what were the most important reasons for interesting those Muslim authors in it, and what were the most effective factors contributing in developing such interest until the mid-6th AH/ 12th century CE when the geographer al-Idrīsī was alive. Hence, the researcher has to investigate the beginnings of the term "Britain" in Muslim traditional sources since the establishment of authorship in the Muslim world, particularly during first quarter of the 3rd AH/ 9th CE century when the first reference to "Marṭāniyah" was recorded. The al-Idrīsī's account on the British Isles is worthy to examine since he sheds light on its major islands, described in detail the most important British towns and cities in his time, and some of its well-known rivers. He also tried to determine the distances between some of these cities and towns by the mile, with some references to political and economic conditions in the British Isles in his time. All that clarifies the extent of early Muslim interest in the British Isles, seeming limited to the geographical knowledge among most Muslim writings during the period under study.

Chinese Islam’s understanding of Zhongxiao 忠孝: Jin Tian-zhu’s 金天柱 Qing Zhen Shi Yi 清眞釋疑

ABSTRACT The scholar Jin Tian-zhu (1690 ~ 1765) was a Muslim of the Hui 回 ethnic group in the Qing dynasty who adhered to Islamic traditions handed down from generation to generation. In Qing Zhen Shi Yi, Jin Tian-zhu attempts to combine Confucianism and Islam through a simple comparison of their rituals. Jin Tian-zhu expresses his respect for Allah by attesting Allah’s existence and insisting that humans should obey Allah. He admits that in reality, besides Allah, the ruler is also clearly an object of loyalty. In addition, he asserts that it is basic propriety for Muslims to be filial to their parents and that the scope of practice of filial piety must also apply to their ancestors beyond their parents. Jin Tian-zhu further expands his view of zhongxiao 忠孝 by asserting that the ultimate Muslim interest is in renlun 人倫, which he believes must be rectified.
