This article aims to provide an overview of the development of research on the measurement of Islamic banking performance over the past 20 years from 89 selected papers with Scopus-indexed journals ranked Q4 to Q1 or accredited with Sinta 2 to Sinta 1. This study used a qual-quantitative meta-analysis approach using the Mendeley citation application. The distribution of the topic and the depth of research in paper samples based on keywords in publications were analyzed using the VOSviewer application. The results of the analysis showed that the research trend of Islamic banking performance in reputable journals is increasing in recent years. Most of the studies performed in the last two decades have focused on the practice and corporate governance of Islamic banks and comparisons between Islamic and conventional banks based on financial performance ratios and aspect of maqasid al-Shariah; Only a few studies that discuss efficiency, social performance on Islamic banks, regulation, intellectual capital and stability of the financial performance of Islamic banks were found. The further discussion is an empirical exposure without theoretical exploration or analysis which is supposed to become the direction of banking research in the future.  JEL Classification Codes: G21, L25, P17, P47.

Far too little academic attention has been paid to more contemporary forms of transnational anti-fascist militancy. Yet this study supports the idea that this field of anti-fascist activity has remained important. This article examines transnational anti-fascist militancy in the 1990s through a case study of Britain's Anti-Fascist Action (AFA). In doing so it offers an in-depth account of AFA's attempts to establish an international militant anti-fascist network in conjunction with Germany's Autonome Antifa (M). The article identifies the common interests, challenges and limitations of this network. The final part of his article reflects on the cross-border importation of AFA to the Irish Republic.

A large number of Micro, Small, Medium Enterprise (MSMEs) that did not have a halal certificate yet due to lack of funds is one of the main problems in the failure of the implementation of the JPH Law mission. Halal Product Certification Agency (BPJPH) demands all products sold in Indonesia ought to have a halal certificate in 2019. This study aims to provide a model solution from the financial institution side. Islamic banking as a sharia financial institution has a strategic part to help MSMEs, offer a variety of contracts, and make MSMEs able to carry out halal certification processes. By using descriptive-analytic method, the results of this study offer the financing model with murābahah and mudhārabah contract. The financing model with a murābahah contract is applied as in the common purchasing contract. While the financing model with a mudharabah should be adjusted to the principle of profit-loss sharing with some period adjustment. The implication of this research shows that Islamic Banking can be an intermediary between the community and BPJPH. The submission process of halal certificates through the Islamic banks cooperation is considered easier, more efficient, and transparent.

Objective – This paper investigates the possibility and feasibility of Malaysia's Islamic banking industry hiring external Shariah audit (ESA) services in the audit fraternity as one of the Shariah governance mechanisms. Some of the scholars argued that ESA is more independent and is able to strengthen the existing Shariah compliance in the industry. Methodology – This study employs a qualitative method by utilising semi-structured interviews with nine key industry players: Shariah auditors, Heads of Shariah audit, Shariah Committee (SC) Member, and Chief Shariah Officer. Data gathered from the interviews was transcribed and analysed using Atlas.ti software. Findings– A series of interviews reveal that given the current practices by the Islamic banking industry, it could be inferred that the Malaysian Islamic banking industry is not ready to exercise the ESA practices. This unreadiness is due to several factors, such as ESA costs outweighing its benefits, the fear of reputational risk, and anxiety of leaking confidential information to rivals. Novelty – The Shariah audit research especially relates to external Shariah audit is considered limited. Type of Paper: Empirical JEL Classification: E44, G10, G20. Keywords: External Shariah audit; Islamic Banks; qualitative method; Shariah governance; Malaysia

The main objective of this article is to describe the logical reasons why a Centralized Shariah Governance Framework (CSGF) provided by the Central Bank of Bangladesh (Bangladesh Bank) is essential for the country’s Islamic banks. In doing so, it identifies the major regulatory challenges (self-developed and disparate use of Shariah Governance (SG) practices) faced by Islamic banks in Bangladesh. It considers an analytical approach to explore the significance of a CSGF for Islamic banks in Bangladesh and examines the current diversified procedures of SG practices. This article reveals that the self-developed SG practices of Islamic banks in Bangladesh have created confusion and pessimism among the practitioners, bankers and even to the general people and regulators which is negatively affecting the overall image of Islamic banks. Such incongruent governance practices have led to inconsistencies in SG structures, implementation procedures, monitoring activities. In addition, this article reveals that these deficiencies usually exist due to weak monitoring systems of the Central Bank, ineffective functioning of individual Shariah Supervisory Boards (SSB) and the absence of comprehensive SGF. The article argues that the Central Bank of Bangladesh should initiate to reform its Islamic banking industry by introducing a CSGF aimed to identify the roles, responsibilities, powers, and functions of SSB; thereby improving governance, accountability, and overall Shariah compliance quality. This article is hoped to be beneficial for the regulators and practitioners to consider revising current practices.   Keywords: Centralization, Bangladesh Bank, Islamic banks, Shariah governance framework.   Cite as: Alam, M.

The purpose of this research is to determine risk management of mudharabah financing in Islamic banking limited to the causes of the low number of mudharabah financing, the common problems and solutions. The method of the research is using a qualitative approach with a case study strategy. The informants are obtained from 3 Islamic Banks (BUS), namely BMI, BSM and BNI Syariah. The data collection is conducted by combining the questions and the obtained data with the result of interview with the Account Officer from the 3 Islamic Banks; BMI, BSM, and BNI Syariah. The result of the research showed that the low number of mudharabah financing is caused by the massive risk, particularly the risk of losses on the bank income. Meanwhile, the problems that commonly occur are non-performing financing because of the side streaming and manipulated data. The solution is restructuring to the bank’s customer who has a good faith. In contrast, bank’s customers that have no good willing to fulfill their obligation will be put into the insurance execution.
