Strategic Management of Akad Salam and Istishna in e-Commerce Transactions: A Case Study of Unit-business Pesantren

ABSTRACT


INTRODUCTION
Although Islamic economics is compatible with modern capitalism in its support of free markets, economic globalization, and profit, it has distinct rules on the morality and ethics of economic transactions (Ali & Zada, 2019;Karim, 2010;Nosheen & Rashid, 2019).In Indonesia, pesantren is today recognized not only as a conventional Islamic educational institution that plays an important role in the development of religious knowledge and values, but also as an innovative and problem-solving Islamic educational institution (Prasetyo, Anwar, et al., 2022).It is creative because of its unique boarding school education format, and it is problem-solving since Pesantren education instills ideals of entrepreneurship and self-reliance, indirectly enhancing the community's socioeconomic position (Sulaiman et al., 2016).
E-commerce has now made its way into the realm of Pesantren, or Islamic boarding schools.Pesantren institutions are always innovating to promote self-sufficiency (Lopes Cardozo & Srimulyani, 2018;Rofiaty, 2019).Pesantren has long served as a center for religious study, where students (santri) acquire religious education and spiritual development (Syarbani, 2012).Pesantren institutions must adapt to technology as knowledge improves in the context of Pesantren management (Mahmassani, 2021;Ta'rif & Adhim, 2021).
One of the initiatives is to improve unit-business Pesantren services, with a particular emphasis on e-commerce methods (Kutsiyah, 2020).Indonesia is the world's largest country with a Muslim majority, reflecting 13 percent of the global Muslim population.The high number of Islamic boarding schools, or pesantren, in Indonesia and the value of their conventional transactions present a significant economic opportunity (Sidiq, 2017;Zuhirsyan, 2018).
In Indonesia, the expansion of sharia-based economic practices is accompanied by encouraging evidence.In the last decade, the emergence of Islamic economic discourse in Indonesia has piqued the curiosity of many people, both theoretically and practically (Dellyana & Sudrajad, 2021).This article investigates the existing integration of e-commerce practices in Pesantren, with an emphasis on unit-business Pesantren's efforts to increase self-reliance.It investigates the innovative and problem-solving features of Pesantren education, which instills ideals of entrepreneurship and self-reliance, so indirectly improving the community's economic well-being (Bawono, 2019;Hamzah et al., 2022).The study also emphasizes Pesantren institutions' ability to adapt to technological advances.
Nonetheless, as information technology and the internet have advanced, Pesantren institutions have begun to be influenced by the phenomenon of e-commerce.E-commerce has revolutionized how people shop and conduct business, and Pesantren is no exception (Siregar & Prasetyo, 2023).Pesantren has also begun utilizing e-commerce platforms for a variety of purposes, including the sale of religious goods, instructional materials, and auxiliary services.Pesantren is unable to disregard the constant advancement of technology (Roqib, 2021).Pesantren must adapt to this trend in order to remain pertinent and continue to contribute to society.
Pesantren can reach a broader audience via e-commerce, pesantren's products and services can be accessed from various domestic and international locations via online platforms (Maftuchach et al., 2021).This facilitates the dissemination of religious values and the expansion of Pesantren's educational reach.Pesantren graduates have been observed to be less competitive in terms of career advancement and income diversification (Nilan, 2009).In challenging economic conditions, Pesantren must also investigate alternative sources of revenue.By engaging in e-commerce, pesantren is able to sell their products online, generating additional revenue to meet operational and development requirements (Munawaroh, 2020;Supratno et al., 2020).The main forms of sale and purchase contracts that have been discussed by the scholars of fiqh muamalah are quite numerous (Hasanah, 2018).This paper investigates the strategic management of Salam and Istishna contract in ecommerce transactions within the context of Pesantren unit-business (Hasanah, 2018).
The introduction of e-commerce has heralded a new era for Pesantren institutions, ushering in a slew of new challenges and opportunities in the realm of contract management (Kaban et al., 2020).Within this dynamic landscape, the use of Islamic financial contracts, specifically akad Salam and Istishna, has emerged as a powerful tool for navigating the complexities of online trade and commerce while adhering to Shariah principles.These contractual frameworks, rooted in the rich tapestry of Islamic jurisprudence, provide a solid foundation for Pesantren institutions to engage in commercial activities that are consistent with their religious beliefs and values (Ahdar et al., 2020;Hidayat & Suciaty, 2021).

METHODS
The research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive survey method.The survey is conducted in several pesantren (Islamic boarding schools) located in the city of Medan, which have implemented the contracts of Salam and Istishna in e-commerce transactions.The selected pesantren represent variations in terms of size, geographical location, and types of products or services offered.Data is collected through in-depth interviews with the pesantren managers, entrepreneurs or traders within the pesantren, and other relevant stakeholders involved in the implementation of Salam and Istishna contracts in e-commerce transactions.In addition to interviews, direct observation is also crucial in gaining a deeper understanding of the process of implementation and execution of Salam and Istishna contracts in e-commerce transactions.
The analysis of data obtained through interviews and observations should be systematic and comprehensive (Denzin & Lincoln, 2011;Levstik & Tyson, 2010;Lichtman, 2012).This entails identifying the obstacles pesantren face in implementing Salam and Istishna contracts in e-commerce transactions, including management, technicalities, and Shariah law (Myers, 2019).The opportunities presented by the implementation of Salam and Istishna contracts in e-commerce transactions within pesantren, such as market development, increased productivity, and efficiency optimization.At this stage, it is also possible to compare various pesantren to identify differences, similarities, and emerging patterns in the implementation of Salam and Istishna contracts in electronic commerce transactions.In terms of managing Salam and Istishna contracts in e-commerce transactions, the recommendations should emphasize the steps that pesantren can take to address challenges and capitalize on opportunities.
This research aims to provide an in-depth understanding of the management of Salam and Istishna contracts in e-commerce transactions within pesantren organizations by employing a qualitative method and a case study approach.It is anticipated that the findings of this study will provide valuable insights to other pesantren interested in implementing Salam and Istishna contracts in e-commerce transactions, as well as conceptual and practical contributions to this field.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Pesantren, as a religious entity, holds significant potential to leverage e-commerce as a platform for transactions based on Salam and Istishna contracts.The implementation of Salam and Istishna contracts in e-commerce transactions within pesantren presents an opportunity to enhance efficiency, productivity, and the sustainability of pesantren business units (Danial et al., 2022;Hudaefi & Heryani, 2019;Sufiani & Ratih, 2021).With the growth of Islamic finance the activities of Islamic financial institutions, ie, those activities carried on in accordance with the Islamic shari'a (Henderson, 2007).

Islamic law stipulates that the pillars and conditions of Salam must be met for the validity of the purchase and sale transaction.The following are the conditions and pillars of Salaam.The four pillars of Salam are: (1) The parties involved in the transaction (buyer and seller); (2) The goods being traded; (3) The agreed price and quantity; and (4) The future delivery date of the goods (Ali & Zada, 2019;Mawardi et al., 2017).
