Critical Success and Failure Factors in Islamic Finance in the 21st Century: An Insider and Global Perspective

Artikel ni merupakan salah satu artikel yang aku minat. An article from 6 months ago yang aku sendiri tak sempat nak publishkan. Kebetulan waktu itu aku serta ‘MAJLIS SYARAHAN UMUM TUANKU CANSELOR USIM 2017’ yang diadakan dekat Dewan Tuanku Canselor USIM. Actually, this one is quite long and more to economic. Dan untuk kali ni, aku buat dalam bentuk point supaya tak serabut dan mudah difahami.  Tak naklah pula nanti dikata baca buku sejarah. Tapi mohon dimaafkan kerana almost 80% daripada article ini berbahasa Inggeris.

-Perbanyakkan platform untuk mempertengahkan konsep ekonomi, muamalat, maqosid syariah.
-Para penasihat di setiap institusi merupakan suatu harapan kepada masyarakat.
-Kurangnya kesedaran dalam perbankan islam menyebabkan ekonomi masyarakat mundur.
-Perlu bersikap terbuka menerima produk inovasi berasaskan Islam. Menghayati usaha untuk memantapkan perbankan Islam.


Ybhg. Datuk Dr.Mohamad Daud Bakar ,Penyandang Kursi Akademik


-We have to live as an example of integrated and knowledge person.
-The Success and Failure would hit anyone in this world as long as you wake up, struggle and doing your best.
-Success story is for all walks of life.

In real life. Success does not come that easy.

• Failure for a good reason is normal.  (failure is part of life. What’s the important is to stand up from failure.
• Passion and passionate man. Be a determine person. To achieve what you dreaming to achieve.
• Be a Perseverance. Through prayer
• Motivation and ability to dream because dream is not a process. Not everyone can dream. Idea come from mind but dream come from mind, heart and soul.
• We have to be smart and Intelligence. There’s a man of dream but not intelligent enough.

The very important things in Islamic Finance is to avoid Reba. Prohibition of legal and prohibition of Reba took a long time to be discuss. Even the Prophet had a hard time to make people believe in ayah,      
   
‘واحل الله البيع وحرم الربا

Islamic finance has no religion. Islamic law is not just for a Muslim but for all human.
Should economic benefit if Islamic banking was different to conventional banking.
When come to syariah, it has unlimited contract.People always don’t see this perspective.

Who are the stake holders in finance industry?

• Shareholders (is one of important body- taking risk. Putting the money)
• Public/Masses
• Regulation
• Media
• Academicians/ Syariah scholars.


We need to take this both stakeholders as important things.

-In Islam, colours are not important, but the profit.
-Having a significant access to public is one of success things, because in finance, we have to connect with person. Finance is about connecting with every single person.

Engagement of regulation matters (government)

Tax problem. We (Islamic Bank) ask government to cut the tax of Islamic Banking. Because if we do have tax, so we just same with conventional. In fact, government will not suffer loss even though there’s no tax.
-Industry is a journey. Journey to be success. Don’t impose to something that is different from your journey route.

-Islamic law is not about saying everything whish are haram, but to find a solution for something that haram. If one door is close, the other door will open. It always have way, to make people easy.

Critical Success Factors

• Competitiveness. If you are good but not competitive, you cannot achieve success. If we competitive enough, we can overcome it and make people attract to us. Brainstorming. How could you be competitive; you have to close the gap. Every single thing is a chance to you to be competitive. We have to predict what will be happen in future.
• Real Economics Function of Islamic Finance
• Speed and Velocity. We have to be speedy at all time. Some regulators, there will not bother to take every single time to make something. e.g.: Before meeting, its really good to read the meeting minute, the proposal. We have to read one by one. Line by line. Don’t play the time. Time will be our enemy. So, that when you come to meeting, you have something to give. Something fresh. You can’t come to the senate, meeting, and at that time you want to read this and that.
• Visibility and Branding. Islam is a great religion. But we are not known. Not shiny enough. If we do know, we’re known in negative way.  We have to make our branding around the world visible. E.g.: How come we make Halal known to the world. Advertisement! Brave enough to take risk.
• Distribution. Challenge one. If we have good product, but you cannot distribute to community, so it will be considering not as good product. The power of distribution can be seen throughout the world.  We have to take more effort in distribution. (Repackage, Rebrand.)
• Islamic Bank must be real live global. Globalisation can help you to enter to a new market. Double Murabahhah, where the banks can avoid the risk. Globalisation is important to create new market, new demand.
• Reduce your financing, We have to manage risk. Manage the cash flow.
• Australia: Cooperate clients fails to pay, the need to make their account rehabilitation. (blacklist)


Critical Failure Factors

• Overestimating the attractiveness of Islamic Finance. on what you want to do. Don’t mislead the society.
• Lack of 360 degree of Comprehension. If we don’t lack this thing, we can fill the gap.
• Absent of sufficient plaining.
• Idealism and perfectionism – we have to be human. Syariah is reveal for human not angel. We have to think accordingly.
• Complacency and Comfort Zone. We cannot be complacent. Do what you have to do. Tried to do it. 


Roadmap to High Performance

• Performance vs High Performance. How can we achieve a great performance? Addressing the real things? Value of things? The data must be collect. University is place for humanity development. We have to have high performance in a critical problem
• From horizontal to progress performance


Mainstreaming Islamic Finance

• Do we have option? We have to know our strength.
• Mainstreaming in Malaysia
• Hope for a mainstreaming
• Mainstreaming is a new global market.
• The beginning start with the mindset. To change the mindset is crucial. The early you change your mindset, the better.

Mungkin ada yang tak faham sebab terlalu berbentuk nota, tapi ini yang mampu aku kongsikan.

Muwasafat Tarbiyah

Assalamualaikum dan salam Sabtu buat semua. Alhamdulillah, seperti yang aku janjikan hari ini akan ku sambung perkongsian ilmu tentang Muwasafat Tarbiyah. Dan Inn syaa Allah, Wasilah Khusus Tarbiyyah Islamiah akan menyusul di entri yang akan datang. Hakikatnya kata muwasafat itu asalnya dari kata wa-so-fa yang bermaksud ciri atau watak. Muwasafat pula berkait dengan seseorang pelaku, (subject) dalam menyerlahkan sifatnya. Macam susah nak faham kan? Berbelit-belit pula jadinya. Sabar. Jangan stress. Baca perlahan-lahan, Inn syaa Allah faham lah nanti. Tarbiyah pula ertinya mendidik. Maksud yang lebih jelas tentang tarbiyah telah aku kongsikan dalam entri sebelumnya. Secara mudahnya Muwasafat tarbiyah itu bermaksud ciri-ciri atau sifat atau peribadi yang perlu ada dalam diri seseorang dalam membentuk seorang Muslim yang syumul. Allah berfirman dalam surah Ali Imran ayat 110 yang bermaksud: “kamu (umat islam) adalah umat terbaik yang dilahirkan untuk manusia, (kerana kamu) menyu

CRUSH

Assalamualaikum sister and brother yang  aku sayang. Ok, sebelum tu bila sebut sister jangan pula fikir benda yang bukan-bukan. Fikir tentang Yahudi, Kristian bagai. It just about 'kakak' yang diertikan dalam Inggeris je. Aku cakap awal-awal. Tak pasal-pasal nanti kena kecam, iluminati bagai. Please, open your mind. Change your mentality, ubah persepsi. So for today, apa yang akan aku kongsi, beri pandangan peribadi adalah tentang CRUSH. Bukan apa, tapi sejak 2,3 minggu akhir-akhir ni banyak pula confession cinta. Dekat mana? Dekat salah satu group telegram. Aku masuk group tu before group tu glamour yang tahap kalau boleh semua orang nak screenshot confession dalam tu jadi status whatsapp. Aku masuk group tu sebelum kebanyakan isi-isinya tentang cinta, tentang crush, tentang orang yang kau minat pakai baju apa, buat apa, budak mana, fakulti mana and so on. And so on. Group apa? Tak pelah. Tak nak lah aku cakap group apa. But probably most of USIM's students know ab

Tarbiah Itu Apa?

Assalamualaikum w.b.t. Apa khabar semua saudara seagamaku? Saudara sehati sejiwa dan moga-moga kekal sebagai saudara sejannah jua. Moga sentiasa sihat jiwa, raga dan imannya. Petang tadi, satu mesej masuk dalam group WhatsAppku. Suatu soalan jelas bertanda soal terlihat pada skrin handphoneku. Soalan dari adik lelakiku. “Apa maksud tarbiah yang ada semua tahu?” soalnya dalam salah satu group. Aku terdiam. Hakikatnya erti kata “tarbiah atau tarbiyah” itu selalu datang dan pergi dalam sehari-hariku. Selalu sangat aku dengar kata tarbiah itu. Sejak zaman sekolah menengah lagi. Tambah-tambah bila bersama dalam liko’ Badan Dakwah sekolah. Lagilah kerap aku mendengar kata itu. Namun seketika aku termangu sendiri. Sejauh mana aku faham soal tarbiyah sebenarnya? Tarbiah itu bukan sesuatu tetapi sesuatu itu memerlukan tarbiah. Kadang-kadang kita terlalu sibuk mentarbiyah orang lain, sampai kita sendiri terlupa mentarbiyah diri yang selalu dahagakan teguran dan pengisian jiwa. Kerana
