Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of corporate social responsibility and ZAKAT on the profitability of Islamic Commercial Banks as a proxy to understand how barakah works. Continuing the previous studies on the meaning of barakah qualitatively, this study aims to look at the works of barakah quantitatively. SEM-PLS under WarpPLS 6.0 software is used to investigate how barakah functions. As a result, there are two exogenous variables and one moderating variable, which are corporate social responsibility (CSR), ZAKAT, and the size of the organization (UP). Meanwhile, as a proxy for the Islamic bank’s profitability, the return on asset (ROA) is used as an endogenous variable. Furthermore, this research employs a purposive sampling technique, employing 25 Indonesian Islamic Commercial Banks samples from 2013 to 2017. The findings reveal that barakah functions by enhancing assets and improving the healthiness of NPF to simultaneously repair and increase the number of assets while also ensuring asset growth sustainability through healthy profit creation. This paper is a comprehensive investigation of the intricate concept of barakah utilizing quantitative methodologies using Indonesian Islamic banks as a case study; however, by utilizing more significant variables, it could be expanded to a wider scale. Before setting any other goals as derivative works, Islamic banks in Indonesia should set the aim of ZAKAT to be paid as groundwork. It will allow them to generate a healthy profit, ensuring long-term expansion. Unlike earlier research, this study aims to be the first to quantitatively investigate the works of barakah in the field of Islamic banking.
