Translation: "O you who believe, fear Allah and leave behind the residue of usury (which has
not been collected) if you are believers" (QS. Al-Baqarah: 278).
Islamic banks that are guided by Islamic principles certainly have many advantages from the
other side, namely in addition to transparent practices and opening opportunities for all people not only
those who are Muslim. basically, Islamic banks act as facilitators in the financial sector that provide
services in financing and are used as a transaction platform and channeling money that guides the rules
in Islamic terms (OJK, 2022).
The practices applied by Islamic banks in the form of financial products and services are
certainly different and difficult to find in conventional banks, considering that in practice Islamic banks
apply policies regulated in Islam which contain values or principles including the principles of
musyarakah, mudharabah, murabahah, ijarah, isthisna, wakalah, and others that do not contain elements
of usury, which can harm customers as applied by conventional banks. As an institution that becomes
new energy, the existence of Islamic banks is certainly expected to be an option that will also be in
demand or maybe the opposite (Firdaus, 2019). The public's perspective on Islamic banking can
certainly be seen from the community's perspective on financial institutions that adopt sharia principles.
the views obtained from the public regarding banking are (1) Islamic banking is identical to the profit
sharing mechanism in business (2) of course adopting Islamic law. the role of Islamic banks is in line
with the goals of national and global economic development (OJK, 2022).
Besides that, apart from knowledge related to the existence of Islamic banks today, of course,
it is accompanied by product offerings that can be said to attract public interest. Islamic banks, apart
from functioning as institutions entrusted with storing customer funds, can be used as a forum for
smooth business by utilising several services with sharia-based contract mechanisms and processes
provided by Islamic banking. as for the financing facilities provided to customers must go through an
approval process or agreement that has been made between the two parties (Bank Indonesia, 2021).
Not only in terms of religious knowledge in the community which is the most important
element, the growing interest for the majority Muslim community or other religions to switch to Islamic
banking must be accompanied by an increase in innovation that attracts attention and is considered
capable of providing benefits (Ayu, 2018).
The problem of using Islamic banks is also very minimal for POLRI members because POLRI
is a government agency that uses BUMN banking, which is a conventional banking system. The use of
conventional banks in the POLRI environment is used in receiving the allocation of salary funds
provided and there is no policy in using other banks to receive salary allocations. The use of Islamic
banks is generally used during certain activities such as in fulfilling transactional needs of a personal
consumptive nature, for example in terms of purchasing motorised vehicles, houses and other goods by
using a sharia contract system.
In increasing interest in using Islamic banks, there are many advantages offered, especially in
terms of meeting the needs of financing in sharia law in buying a vehicle. The murabahah system is a
form of sale and purchase agreement that contains Islamic values in it considering that the transaction
is based on the willingness of the agreed profit value. With the murabaha system, POLRI members can
buy vehicles with financing provided by Islamic Banks without having to fear the law of usury
(Abdurahman & Abdurrahman, 2014).
In addition to the purchase of vehicles and other goods, POLRI members can also use Islamic
banks to borrow funds in a sharia manner. Islamic banks provide ijarah facilities for customers who
want to borrow funds with collateral without the element of usury in it.
Research has been conducted by several previous researchers in the form of journals which
contribute as reference material in research. From the research that has been done, it is known that the
use of the type of data is qualitative but the research mechanism is through quantitative data
presentation. Thus, the author has the view that this research can provide opportunities for Islamic
banking to contribute and provide services that can facilitate and guarantee Islamic principles in
carrying out economic transactions in the author's work environment.
In connection with the description above, the author sees an opportunity for Islamic banks to play
an active role in the scope of the author's work in providing a transaction platform that prioritises
