This paper tries to determine the Islamicity of Muslims in general in light of the duty of the Prophet Muhammad pbuh. The duty is reflected in the phrase „Rahmantan lil Alamin‟(QS, 21:107). A content analysis is done on the exegesis of the phrase by competent Islamic scholars. It was found out that “Rahmat” being the important word in the phrase is close in meaning with the word Maslahah in Islamic legal and economic terms, which means public benefit. Maslahah is the Illat or Ratio Legis in the law of God. Thus, a pious and real Muslim must practice this moral law in their economic activities to bring benefit for others and repel damage, so as to support the duty of the Prophet pbuh.

www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Abstract – The purpose of this literature review is to find out the
link Islamic principles based on the Qur’an, and hadith that in
line with the green microfinance activities. The scope of this
literature review is divided into four main sections: (1) Is
Islamic perspective on economic activities has concern with the
environmental issues?, (2) Why microfinance has an important
role to implementing green microfinance activities?, (3) What's
the link between Islamic principles and green microfinance
activities, (4) Who has responsibilities on the implementation of
green microfinance activities?. Based on Islamic perspective, the
people can run their business as long as they didn’t destroy
environmental. The conservation of environmental very
important to support the sustainability of human life, it's
reflected in The Qur’an and Hadith as the supreme sources of
Islamic law. Furthermore, Islamic finance has a strong
engagement with the microfinance activities, because the main
clients of microfinance are low income people, and the one of
microfinance objectives is related to poverty alleviation.
Furthermore, the majority clients of microfinance are poor
people that also as the contributor of environmental destruction.
Linked to this condition, must be exist appropriate law
enforcement from the government who has the legitimacy to
force microfinance institution for implementing environmental
conservation activities.
Keywords – Islamic Principle, Environmental Concern,
Microfinance, low income people, Legitimacy
I. BACKGROUND
Al Quran as a way of life for humans to govern all
aspects of human life. Qur'an was revealed by Allah through
the Prophet. Furthermore, in order that the Qur'an as a source
of law and the rules can be applied in human life, must be
provided with the hadith and Ijtihad (Choudhury, 2014).
Qur'an and hadith as super cardinal in human life, stated in the
QS Al Baqarah verse 2 and in An Nisa verse 59
Meaning: “This is the Book about which there is no doubt, a
guidance for those conscious of Allah“
Meaning: “O you who have believed, obey Allah and obey
the Messenger and those in authority among you. And if you
disagree over anything, refer it to Allah and the Messenger, if
you should believe in Allah and the Last Day. That is the best
[way] and best in result.”
In addition Quran and Hadith is a unity that can not be
separated. Quran as the first and main source of the revelation
by God to the Prophet Muhammad to be delivered to humans.
Obligation for Muslims to study the Qur'an also stated in the
hadith:
Meaning: "From Usman he said, the Prophet SAW said:
(Muslim) good among you are those who learn the Qur'an and
teach it to others.” (HR. Bukhari). From the Hadith is stated
how magnificent a person's character when he was able to
learn the Qur'an well, then he teaches to others. Thus he will
get double reward from God and had the honor of man on
earth. The nature of the revelation of the Qur'an is to be a
universal moral reference for humanity to solve social
problems that arise in the middle of the community., Hadith as
the source of the teachings of both appear to explain (bayan)
generality of the contents of an issue if the law can not be in
Al-Qur'an (Choudhury, 2014).
Moreover, the Qur'an Surah Al-Maidah verse 92 also
explains about the obligation to believe and accept everything
that is delivered by the Prophet Muhammad told his followers
to be used as way of life
2. EJIF – European Journal of Islamic Finance No3, Dec (2015)
http://www.ojs.unito.it/index.php/EJIF ISSN 2421-2172 2
Meaning: “There is not upon those who believe and do
righteousness [any] blame concerning what they have eaten
[in the past] if they [now] fear Allah and believe and do
righteous deeds, and then fear Allah and believe, and then
fear Allah and do good; and Allah loves the doers of good.”
Related to Al Maidah verses 92, can be illustrated that every
command obedience to Allah in the Qur'an always
accompanied by obedience to the command of His
Messenger. Similarly, the warning (threat) because of
disobedience to God, often equated with threats because of
disobedience to the Prophet Muhammad.
Allah has stated the obligation for Muslims to obey Rasul
SAW and guided by his Hadith. Prophet Muhammad was the
one who was given the mandate by God to convey the
Shari'ah are revelation to mankind, and he did not deliver
anything, especially in the field of religion but derived from
revelation. Therefore, every Muslim is obliged to adhere to
the Hadith. Prophet Muhammad advised regarding the
necessity to make the Hadith as a way of life, in addition to
the Qur'an as its main guidance. Prophet said:
Meaning: "From the Anas bin Malik Prophet said: I left two
treasures for you all, that you will not get lost while you
sticking to both the form of the Qur'an the book of Allah and
the Sunnah of His Messenger" (HR. Malik). The hadith
indicates that the Prophet has left two guidance as a way of
life that is the Qur'an and Sunnah as a handle and guidance in
order not to misguided in carrying out of life in the world and
also survived to reach the hereafter
The third world and developing countries in general try to
stimulate economic growth aim increasing the prosperity of
their citizen contributing to the reduction of the poverty. In
any case the improvement of the individual welfare during
the process of economic development presents a lot of
controversial issues in terms of environmental impact. In this
respect Grossman and Krueger (1994) are questioning if the
economic development of developing countries is putting in
danger the environment or actually is only through the
increase of income and wealth that is possible to solve
ecological problems. The economic development increases
the industrial activities and generates ecological problems
such as the extinction of species, land degradation and global
warming. These ecological problems have a negative impact
on the individual's quality of life and on the development of a
sustainable society (Mc Donald et.al., 1997, Cook et.al.,
1999). Many environmental damages are caused by human
activities driven only by an economic motivation without
taking into consideration the importance of the environment
for human life (Jegasothy, 1999; Abbas, 2012). Nevertheless,
the economic development and economic growth should
continue, because these processes allow the achievement of a
better condition for the people.
In any case economic development should be useful not
only for the current but also for the future generations
(sustainable development). Thus, we need to balance
economic growth, ecological impact and social impact (as a
triple bottom line) with those three elements that should be
integrated into every development activity (Pereau, et.al,
2012). Furthermore, in developing countries, there are a
series of constrains to the implementation of sustainable
development processes, especially associated with
environmental issues. These constraints are the following: (i)
the approach to development is very pragmatic, focused only
on economic development (profit oriented); (ii) the use of
natural resources is driven by the need of products, which is
actually the satisfaction of all the market needs. This
condition leads to an uncontrollable exploitation of the
natural resources; (iii) in the developmental process the areas
of finance, trade, investment, and technology is not integrated
with the environmental planning. In developing countries, the
economic development may result in two diverging kinds of
impact,. A positive impact represented by the increase of the
national per capita income but also a negative impact
resulting in the environmental damage.
According Choudhury (2009), sustainability in the Islamic
development methodology is defined as the process of
establishing complementarities between economic, social and
ethical issues of human development. Related to the
environmental destruction in the development, its also not
allow in the Islamic perspective. Environmental preservation
also stated in the Qur’an Ar Rum verses 41
Meaning:” Corruption has appeared throughout the land and
sea by [reason of] what the hands of people have earned so
He may let them taste part of [the consequence of] what they
have done that perhaps they will return [to righteousness].” In
the Ar Rum verse 41 stated that all environmental damage is
the result of human greed, which exploits the natural world
all-out. Therefore, since the beginning of God's warning of
the human-induced.
II. THEORITICAL BACKGROUND
The majority of the people in developing countries has a
low income or are poor. They need access to financial
services to sustain their economic activity and also to fulfill
their household needs. According to Hudon (2011),
microfinance institutions (MFIs) play an important role in the
economic development of developing countries, as it is
happening in Asia and Latin America with the cases of
Bangladesh, Indonesia and Brazil. MFIs have an important
role in the reduction of poverty in developing countries
(Karlan and Goldberg, 2011) serving the poor and at the same
3. EJIF – European Journal of Islamic Finance No3, Dec (2015)
http://www.ojs.unito.it/index.php/EJIF ISSN 2421-2172 3
time balancing financial and social performance (Morduch,
1999; Copestake et al, 2005, Armendariz & Labie, 2011).
MFIs in developing countries also relate to the preservation
of the environment. In developing countries the small-scale
activities conducted by the micro entrepreneurs entail
environmental risks representing direct threats to population’
health and livelihoods. MFIs clients are poor people who
have low income. Usually poor people, lack of education and
knowledge, thus they are not concerned by environmental
issues and sometimes they’re also directly contributing to the
destruction of the environment. Associated with this
condition, recently, some donors and experts claim that MFIs
could play a role in fostering pro-environmental behaviors
among their micro entrepreneur clients (Allet, 2012).
Indonesia as the biggest muslim population countries as
well as the part of developing countries also has the
environmental degradation. Apart from the success of
development that contributed to the advancement of
technology and the development of industry-in Indonesia, in
fact there has been a deterioration of natural resources and
increased environmental pollution, especially in cities such
emerging Gresik, Surabaya, Jakarta, Bandung Lhoksumawe,
Medan, and so on (Sitorus, 2004). Some damage occurred,
according Amsyari.et.al (1996) are as follows:
The decline in the quality of surface water around
industrial areas. The concentration of pollutants that
are harmful to the health of the population such as
mercury, cadmium, lead, pesticides, pcb, a sharp
increase in the water content of the surface and the
water biota;
Scarcity of fresh water to be increased, particularly
in the dry season, while the rainy season tends to
occur floods that hit many areas that cause harm due
to the condition of ecosystems that have been
damaged;
Maximum and minimum water temperature varies
Often, even the highest Temperatures in some Cities
such as Jakarta has Reached 37 degrees Celsius;
An increase in the concentration of air pollution
such as CO, NO2r S02, and dust;
The natural resources of the Indonesian nation
dwindling, such as petroleum and coal are expected
to be exhausted in 2020;
Indonsia forest area is getting narrower due to
uncontrolled encroachment intentional or by fire;
More soil nutrient conditions are not fertile, and
agricultural land narrowing and polluted.
The above conditions is certainly contrary to the principles of
Islam which the majority of the Indonesian population are
Muslim.
III. RESEARCH DESIGN
The research method is based on a qualitative research,
The framework of this research is defined by research
questions as follows:
A. Is Islamic perspective on economic activities has concern
with the environmental issues?;
B. Why microfinance has an important role to
implementing green microfinance activities?;
C. What's the link between Islamic principles and green
microfinance activities?;
D. Who has responsibilities on the implementation of green
microfinance activities?.
IV. RESULT AND DISCUSSIONS
A. Is Islamic perspective on economic activities has
concern with the environmental issues?
The ultimate goals of activities in Islamic perspective is
Maslahah. Maslahah is is all activities should bring benefits
and refusing all activities that harm nature, or bring damage.
Nevertheless, according to Nugroho (2014) the existing
human in the world should give positive contribution to
others not only for human live but for all the elements. This
statement argued by the hadith as follows:
Meaning: “The best man is the most useful for others.”
Furthermore, the maslahah can be divided by the priority
level and can be illustrated as follows:
Figure 1.1
Explanation of figure 1.1 as follows:
a) The essentials/necessities (al-Daruriyyat) are those on
which lives of people depend, and whose neglect leads to
total disruption of chaos. Dharuriyat (Necessity) include
religion, life, intellect, lineage, wealth is a unity that can
not be separated. If there is one thing that is ignored, will
cause imbalance in human’s life;
b) The needs/exigencies (al-Hajiyyat). Hajiyyat (Needs
Secondary) function completes dharuriyat aspects make
it more solid. Examples of hajiyyat is sunnah worship.
Sunnah worship was done after the implementation of
compulsory worship;
c) The complementary interests (al-Tahsiniyyat), the
function makes the human being in a noble manners and
good manners. So as to add to the beauty of human life,
4. EJIF – European Journal of Islamic Finance No3, Dec (2015)
http://www.ojs.unito.it/index.php/EJIF ISSN 2421-2172 4
for example: Make use of clothes neat and nice in
worship.
For further explanation of maslahah the part of Al Daruriyat
should be based on the principles of maqhasid sharia.
According Bahsoan (2011), the principles of maqhasid sharia
are:
a) First, Maintaining Religion. Humans require absolute
religion. Without religion, there is no point in life, even
religion is the most important requirement of all basic
needs. Religion ranks first, because the whole teaching
of law leads people to act in accordance with His will
and good pleasure of God. Because it is in the Qur'an and
Hadith of a man driven to believe in Allah, and that is
the foundation of Islamic economics in particular. As for
economic relations with aspects of aqidah allows
economic activity in Islam became a worship.
b) Second, preserving life. Nourishes the soul is intended to
preserve the right to live in dignity and nourishes the
soul in order to avoid acts of persecution in the form of
murder, as well as actions that hurt includes eating foods
that can damage the body or excessive in taking it.
c) Third, Maintain Mind. Sharia sees the human mind as a
gift of Allah, which is very important. With the human
mind can discern what is good and what is bad. With the
human mind assigned to worship God. People lacks
unencumbered tasks Shari'a. Because of that mind must
be maintained and protected. For this reason the law
forbids alcohol and all that can kill the creativity of the
human mind and morale (drugs). Thus, in Islamic
economics, alcohol or and the like is deemed not to have
value.
d) Fourth, Maintaining Descendants. Mashlahah world and
hereafter are intended by God to discontinuity from one
generation to another generation. Therefore, Islam
regulates marriage and forbid adultery, assign anyone
who may marry, the ordinance of marriage and terms,
and the pillars that must be met. All of which is a form of
preserving a clean and healthy descendants in a serene
and peaceful atmosphere. Thus, there will be more and
stronger as well as the creation of union and unity in the
community where they live.
e) Fifth, maintain the property. Although essentially all of
the property belongs to Allah, but Islam recognizes an
individual's personal right. Islam requires that
regulations concerning such Muamalat purchase, lease,
borrow or lend, pledge and so on, and prohibits fraud and
practicing usury. Maintaining a well-understood property
set Muamalat system on the basis of fairness and
willingness, trying to develop wealth and handed into the
hands of people who are able to maintain good property
is also understood to regulate Muamalat system on the
basis of fairness and willingness, trying to develop
wealth and handed into the hands of people who are able
to maintain good.
f) Sixth, QS. Ar-Rum verse 41 stated:”Corruption has
appeared throughout the land and the sea by [reason of]
what the hands of people have earned so He may let
them taste a part of [the consequence of] what they have
done that perhaps they will return [to righteousness].” In
this verse, Allah revealed the emergence of the
environmental damage caused by human activities, and
people will accept the consequences. Because of
environmental damage would threaten human existence,
especially our future descendants.
Based on the Maqhasid Sharia, the environtmental issues
is very important point in the Islamic perspective, because of
all the activities include of financial acivities should be
embedded with the Islamic values that nota bene maqhasid
sharia.
B. Why microfinance has an important role to implementing
green microfinance activities?
The originality of microfinance objective, it's to achieve
the double bottom line. That is mean microfinance
institutions are mindful not only about financial performance,
but also by social indicators. Econometric analysis is used to
assess financial performance, and guidance is provided for
extending the analysis of social performance indicators or
MFIs have a double aspect: financial and not-for-profit. It is,
therefore, appropriate to assess their performance by means,
not only of financial ratios, but also by means of social
indicators. (Frank, 2008; Armendariz and Labie, 2011;
Hudon, 2011; Stuart, 2011; Balkenhol and Hudon, 2011;
Cinca et al, 2011). In other word the MFIs was designed to
serve unbanked poor and, it's seen by some as a magic wand
against poverty that is supposed to solve it all (Armendariz
and Labie, 2011), but microfinance neither a panacea nor a
magic bullet, and it can’t be expected to work everywhere or
for everyone (Armendariz and Morduch, 2010).
Global warming is caused climate change has a negative
effect that is remarkable for human life on earth, natural
disasters that could be due to the effects of climate change
turns occur various countries in the world. Greatest impact
when it's covered by the natural system: extreme weather
such as heavy rain, storms with stronger force, and heat
waves. Polar ice melt triggering sea level rise that threatens
citizen community, ecosystem, and in the coastal city, also
have broad impact of ocean acidification for marine species,
including coral reefs. Nevertheless the most dangerous,
according to scientists fear is the impact on human life, such
as health, home, and food that is caused by the increased of
temperature (Abbot and Wilson, 2014).
Then the question comes up, is there a link between
poverty and environmental concerns? The link between
poverty and environment is often mentioned in sustainable
development (Reardon and Vosti, 1995), its mean the
development should be given the impact not only for recent
generation but also for the next generation. Link between
poverty and environment Its shown in recent year, there is an
5. EJIF – European Journal of Islamic Finance No3, Dec (2015)
http://www.ojs.unito.it/index.php/EJIF ISSN 2421-2172 5
effort from the development practices to the empowerment of
MFIs with starting to consider their environmental bottom
line in addition to their financial and social objectives (Allet
and Hudon, 2013).
But why should microfinance should concern in
environmental bottom line? Allet (2013) mention the clients
of MFIs should be responsible for climate change because
they have an impact on the environment. The clients of MFIs
have contributed in major environmental risk like chemical
pollution, solid and liquid wastes, pollution emissions,
inefficient production processes (energy-consuming, waste-
producing), and degradation of natural resources. Regarding
this risky, there are environmental issues in the community,
such as health and sanitary issues, economic consequences,
risk of conflicts, increased vulnerability and food security.
Associated in this condition the donors in MFIs and the
experts in this field, believed MFIs has capacity to involve in
environmental concern in their activities to be third bottom
line or additional from the original MFIs objective double
bottom line, the triple bottom line element that consist of
financial performance, social performance and environmental
performance (Copestake, 2007; Green Microfinance, 2007;
Van Elteren, 2007; FMO, 2008; Schuite and Pater, 2008;
Rippey, 2009; Agier and Szafarz 2013). We believe green
microfinance activities will be significant Contribute to
anticipate the impact of climate change for livelihood,
because of the small scale activities in developing countries
has the threat of environmental destruction (Allet, 2013), and
MFIs as the institution directly contact with the grassroots
community. Addressing in this condition, the services of
MFIs could be as intermediaries, and have the opportunity for
the dissemination of environmental awareness-raising
information (Hall et al, 2008; SEEP Network, 2008). In line
with this issue, Kaushal and Kala (2005) also mention that
microfinance has a positive impact on the environment,
because of there is a positive link between access to micro
credit and forest regeneration in 27 Indian villages.
C. What's the link between Islamic principles and green
microfinance activities?
Qur'an and hadith are the two main pillars of Islam. Every
detail of the teachings of Islam should refer to the Qur'an and
hadith. Qur'an is the principal source of Islamic teachings as a
guide for mankind (Hudan-linnasi), as a guide human life
towards a prosperous life in the world and safely in the
hereafter. In addition Hadith role to interpreting the Qur'an in
the practice or application of Islamic teachings in a factual
and ideal. We would be hard to imagine if without
"intervention" hadith, the Qur'an, especially those related to
legal issues can be understood and actualized in practical
Muslims. As guidance of human life, of course, the teachings
contained in the Qur'an and hadith should be implemented in
public life. Islam as rahmatan lil 'Alamin means that Islam is
a religion that brings grace and prosperity for all the whole
universe, including animals, plants and the jinn, and of course
human beings, it’s stated in Qur’an Al-Anbya verses 107:
Meaning:” And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad],
except as a mercy to the worlds.”
According the purposes of microfinance, there is strong
similarity with Islamic bank, the in line purposes of
microfinance with Islamic bank are social performance and
poverty alleviation. Although the practice of Islamic finance
is based on the belief that money is not a productive asset in
and of itself. Furthermore, aiming to implement Islamic law
sharia maqhasid, so the the activities of Islamic banks
emphasize factors ethical, moral, social, and religious to
promote equality and justice for kindness the ummah.
Although this analysis of Islamic banking focuses on the
economic aspects, the system can be fully understood only in
the context of Islamic attitudes towards ethics, wealth
distribution, social and economic justice, and the role of the
state. Principles encouraging risk sharing, indvidual rights
and obligations, property rights and the sanctity of contracts
is part of the universal values that underlie the Islamic
banking system (Dhumale and Sapcanin, 1998).
The caused of environmental destruction is the low
income people or poor people that nota bene they also as the
clients of microfinance (Allet, 2013). Islamic persepctive
related to the poor people, very concern in poverty alleviation.
Islam encourages equity and income distribution policies that
favor the poor (pro-poor income distribution). There are three
main instrument in Islam related to the distribution of income
is land ownership rules, the application of zakat, as well as
advocating qardul hasan, donations, and endowments. Islam
arranged for everyone who revive the dead land, the land
belongs to her. And for anyone who abandon their land, the
right to take the country to then give to others who are ready
to process it. With the application of zakat, then there will be
no concentration of wealth in the community group. Zakat
also make sure that each person will be guaranteed minimum
living so it has a chance to get out of poverty. Furthermore, to
ensure that the property is not only circulated among the rich
alone, Islam also strongly encourages the rich to give qard,
donations, and endowments. The concern of Islam to the poor
people expressed on the Qur’an At Tawbah verse 60 as
follow:
Meaning:” Zakah expenditures are only for the poor and for
the needy and for those employed to collect [zakah] and for
bringing hearts together [for Islam] and for freeing captives
[or slaves] and for those in debt and for the cause of Allah
6. EJIF – European Journal of Islamic Finance No3, Dec (2015)
http://www.ojs.unito.it/index.php/EJIF ISSN 2421-2172 6
and for the [stranded] traveler - an obligation [imposed] by
Allah . And Allah is Knowing and Wise.” Based on Surah
At-Tawbah verse 60, we must help the poor to become self-
sufficient not only in terms of finance, but can survive with
decent conditions. Nevertheless, the microfinance services
also has the same purpose that survive the poor people.
The differences of microfinance and Islamic microfinance
on the operational mechanism. The Islamic microfinance
Institution always put the social, ethics and morals issues in
the all financial activities because those of variables are
complementarity (Choudhury, 2009). Subject to the Islamic
microfinance very concern to the environmental destruction,
that also stated in hadith "La dlarara wala diraar" (not to be
malakukan deeds danger to yourself and others). Prophet.
Said: "There should not be committing a danger to yourself
and others. Who makes harm others, then God will harm as
well. Who complicate others, God will make it as well "
(Sunan al-Bayhaqi). Nevertheless the Qur’an also stated how
the environmental very important issues in the Islamic
perspective , there are many verses in the Qur'an related to
the environment, among others:
a) QS. Al Baqarah verse 11, As kholifah, human beings have
the duty and responsibility to take care for, maintain and
preserve the natural resources that have been provided by
God for man. Indeed, God has allowed man to use all of
these resources as a source of life for humans and all
living beings that exist on it.
Meaning:” And when it is said to them, "Do not cause
corruption on the earth," they say, "We are but
reformers."
b) QS. Al A’raf verse 56, Therefore, the use of it should not
be arbitrary, and carelessly in exploiting it. Utilization of
natural resources both at sea, on land and in the forest
should be proportionate and rational manner to the needs
of broader community and future generations as well as
maintaining the ecosystem.
Meaning: "And cause not corruption upon the earth after
its reformation. And invoke Him in fear and aspiration.
Indeed, the mercy of Allah is near to the doers of good."
c) QS. An-Nahl verse 112, realizing this, the implementation
of development, the use of natural resources in Indonesia
should be used rationally. Excavation source of wealth to
be undertaken with a vengeance with a strategy that does
not damage the environment and governance system of
human life. The need for the use of environmentally-
friendly technologies and to maintain its sustainability so
that the that exist natural resources can be exploited
sustainably. Therefore, we should be able to take i'tibar or
introspective of the meaning contained in this verse
Meaning: "And Allah presents an example: a city which
was safe and secure, its provision coming to it in
abundance from every location, but it denied the favours of
Allah. So Allah made it taste the envelopment of hunger
and fear for what they had been doing."
d) QS. Al-Baqarah verse 164, in essence, the universe and its
contents, both concrete and abstract is a facility to achieve
wellbeing of mankind. That's the nature, the world was
created to always provide the best for human survival.
Humans derive from them to eat, drink, shelter, safety and
livelihood.
Meaning:” Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and earth,
and the alternation of the night and the day, and the [great]
ships which sail through the sea with that which benefits
people, and what Allah has sent down from the heavens of
rain, giving life thereby to the earth after its lifelessness and
dispersing therein every [kind of] moving creature, and [His]
directing of the winds and the clouds controlled between the
heaven and the earth are signs for a people who use reason.”
So, based on the Qur’an, the Islamic law also support and
very concern related to green microfinance activities that nota
bene Green microfinance is financial services to the poor in
one region or country, which is one of the activities is to
provide soft loans to individuals or groups of individuals who
work directly to support the development of green and
sustainable social development, create green jobs and
environmental solutions progressive for the things that
destroy and pollute the earth (Rouf, 2012). Furthermore,
according Allet (2012), the financial activities of the green on
microfinance institutions include: loan screening in
accordance with environmental criteria, offering micro credit
to support clean technology, or training their clients about the
practices of pro-environment. There is a close relationship
between microfinance institutions (MFIs) in protecting the
environment, because clients of microfinance are also actors
on environmental destruction, and they are not aware of it
because of the low level of education. Discourse latest green
microfinance, and became the topic of a workshop-hosted by
7. EJIF – European Journal of Islamic Finance No3, Dec (2015)
http://www.ojs.unito.it/index.php/EJIF ISSN 2421-2172 7
the University Meets Microfinance organizations which held
on 3-4 July 2014 at the Frankfurt School of Finance &
Management, making Green microfinance activity is a part of
the operations of microfinance institutions in the world. In
this event also declared activity green finance is as balancing
on operational microfinance institutions. With green
microfinance activity put it on the agenda of the MFIs, the
workers and clients on microfinance institutions have an
understanding, that survive life at this time with no harm to
the environment, and doing a business activity today without
compromising the next generation wellbeing.
D. Who has responsibilities on thee implementation of
green microfinance activities?
To enforce the implementation of the green microfinance,
needed a regulation (law or act) from the government as a
key player that conduct and govern these activities and
supervise (make sure that the law is respected and how to
apply the regulation) the implementation of it. As rule makers,
government has function to promote financial inclusion,
consumer protection, rule making, design business models,
and as authority to give permit a new actor into the financial
service sector (Ehrbeck et.al, 2012). Furthermore Staschen
and Nelson (2012) mention the main participant in
developing formal rules related MFIs operation are:
legislature (parliament), government department (relevant
ministry and bureaucracy), and the regulator (the central bank
or regulatory authority).
Nevertheless the implementation of green microfinance
activities also need of legitimacy. Legitimacy is the
recognition of the right to govern (Coicaud, 2004), therefore,
to implement the green microfinance program, needed a
strong motivation and desire of the authorities to govern
(government, investors, donors, creditors, etc.) of
implementation in green microfinance. A strong desire or
motivation the government can be reflected through
regulation or legislation related to green microfinance that
have been issued by the authorities (central banks, financial
authorities service, ministry of social welfare, etc.). Moore
(2000) also builds a legitimate framework for understanding
the concerns of managers of non-profit and public sector
organizations that encompasses their concerns with mission,
operations, and the environment. He argues that the mission
of organizations is to create “public value”, value that
benefits customers directly, and benefits other stakeholders
indirectly. He mentioned that effective managers deploy
resources efficiently and effectively to ensure the delivery of
public value, while managing their “authorizing”
environment to ensure that they receive the legitimacy and
support necessary to do their work. Based on these definition,
Backstrand (2006) also mention legitimacy can be
characterized as the normative belief held by actors that a
particular rule, institution or order ought to be obeyed.
Nevertheless the regulation is legitimate if and only if
(Stillman, 1974):
a) It is based on the beliefs of: (all or some) other nations,
states, or persons; the people unanimous; a majority of the
people; a majority of any portion of the people; the king,
dictator, etc.; tradition, ancestors, prescription, etc.; God;
other; noun or irrelevant.
b) It has possession of a certain quality (or qualities); pursuit
of a certain value (or set of values); none or irrelevant.
Nevertheless in Islamic perspective regarding Choudhury
(2008), consider the wellbeing function of sustainable socio-
economic development in the context of Islamic political
economy. Here the goal of economic growth is a derived
relation of wellbeing criterion. Economic growth is not a
primal goal. It is intertwined with other goals, all together
interactively leading to the criterion of wellbeing such as
population change, ownership and distribution of wealth,
employment and enterprise, ecological consciousness,
sectoral linkages, price stabilization and resource
mobilization, etc. are some of the other variables that we can
interactively simulate in the wellbeing function by simulating
knowledge-flows and their causal interrelationships with
knowledge-induced forms.
Based on the according Choudhury and Silvia (2008) the
responsibilities for the implementation is all stakeholders in
charge and must be embedded with the consciousness for the
sustainability. Furthermore, all stakeholders i.e government,
central bank, private sectors, non goverment organization, etc.
should be has circular causation connection in term to
achieved of wellbeing or maslahah on the framework of
maqhasid sharia.
V. CONCLUSION
Islamic perspective has a strong relevance to the green
micro-finance activities, especially in terms of philosophy
and purpose. However, the principles of Islam based on the
Qur'an, hadith and ijtihad are embedded with ethics and
morals. The final goal in the principles of Islam are subject to
the implementation of the community based on maqhasid
sharia. Associated with environmental damage, in Islam is
not allowed because it would threaten human life. Green
microfinance activities are an effort to prevent environmental
damage through microfinance services that their customers
are mostly actors from environmental damage. Furthermore,
this concept must be implementation in real activity is not
only a slogan but also need the support and the active
participation of all stakeholders to gain legitimacy. The
important points of Islamic principles VS Green
Microfinance
a) Islamic perspective its mean outlook based on point of
view from sharia or Islamic law (the Qur'an, hadith and
ijtihad). Relevance of environmental issue, Al Qur’an
and hadith put the preservation of environment as the
part of ultimate goal or maqhasid sharia. The reason of
environment as the important issue, because of the
damage or destruction of environment could be threat the
continuously of human life

b) The majority clients of microfinance are the small and
micro entrepreneur or low income people. In addition
they also have lack knowledge and consciousness related
to environmental care. Nevertheless they also the actor
of the environmental destruction, because of that
evidence, microfinance services must be embedded with
the environmental care activities.
c) The Islamic principles have strong relationship with the
green microfinance activities. The relationship be on the
goals and philosophy of microfinance institution
activities that have concern in triple bottom line concern
that consist of Financial performance, Social
Performance and Environment performance. In addition
The Islamic philosophy it’s subject to implementation of
maslahah for the ummah very concern in the balancing
of financial performance, social performance and
environment performance. In addition there also
existence of Islamic microfinance institutions.
Furthermore, the term of Islamic Microfinance
Institutions is the microfinance institution plus (moral,
ethics and halal).
d) All the parties should be active participate to
implementation of wellbeing in the world. To implement
of it we need law and regulation for legitimate the all
parties same frame work and same way to implement the
environmental activities must be embedded with the
economics activities especially for the activities of low
income people.
