FSH News, FSH Meeting Room - The Faculty of Sharia and Law (FSH) at Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University Jakarta held the Dissemination of Master’s Student Research in Sharia and Law Across PTKIN on Wednesday, June 24, 2026. The academic event was organized by the Master’s Program in Sharia Economic Law (MHES) in collaboration with the Master’s Program of the Faculty of Law, Islamic University of Indonesia (UII) Yogyakarta, as part of the implementation of a cooperation agreement between the two institutions.

This year, the dissemination was conducted in a competition format, selecting The Best Article from all participants. As an appreciation for students’ scholarly work, Jurnal Iqtishad FSH UIN Jakarta awarded winners with opportunities for publication and waived article processing charges (free APC). Editor-in-Chief Windi Triana, Ph.D., emphasized that this support reflects the journal’s commitment to enhancing students’ academic writing skills.

Head of the MHES Program, Dr. Nurhasanah, M.Ag., reported that the event carried the theme “Building Collaborative Research Among Master’s Students Across Universities.” The theme aimed to encourage students to produce scholarly works through inter-university collaboration while fostering a stronger academic culture within the Master’s Program at FSH UIN Jakarta.

Representing the Dean of UII’s Faculty of Law, Prof. Dr. Sefriani, S.H., M.H., Head of the Master’s Program in Law, praised the competition-based dissemination for bringing together students from various universities in one academic forum. She expressed readiness for UII to host next year’s dissemination competition with broader participation and a rotating trophy.

Dean of FSH UIN Jakarta, Prof. Dr. Muhammad Maksum, S.H., M.A., MDC., represented by Vice Dean for Academic Affairs Prof. Dr. Hj. Mesraini, S.H., S.Ag., M.Ag., welcomed the collaboration, noting its expansion to include UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta and UIN Mahmud Yunus Batusangkar. He stressed that master’s students should not only be consumers of knowledge but also producers, with research outputs disseminated for broader societal benefit.

The event involved 16 students from MHES, Islamic Family Law (MHK) programs within PTKIN, and UII’s Master of Law Program. Participants presented their research in front of academics and researchers serving as discussants.

The dissemination was divided into two clusters:

• MHES Cluster (Meeting Room, 2nd Floor), with discussants Prof. Dr. Ibnu Sina Chandranegara, S.H., M.H. (Professor, Universitas Muhammadiyah Jakarta) and Dr. Abdul Rasyid, S.H.I., M.C.L. (Lecturer, BINUS Law School).

• MHK Cluster (Room 4.03.1, 3rd Floor), with discussants Theresia Dyah Wirastri, S.H., M.A., Ph.D. (Lecturer, Universitas Indonesia Faculty of Law) and Prof. Dr. Yayan Sopyan, S.H., M.Ag. (Professor, FSH UIN Jakarta).

Research topics presented addressed current issues in law and sharia, including Islamic business law, sharia financial institutions, sharia capital markets, halal product guarantees, family law, legal politics of polygamy for civil servants, underage marriage practices, analysis of religious court rulings, criminal law, constitutional law, and business law. Discussants provided feedback on problem formulation, research gaps, methodology, literature review, theoretical frameworks, analytical sharpness, academic argumentation, and novelty.

Parallel to the competition, a Master’s Lecture Series was held with Prof. Dr. Sefriani, S.H., M.H., discussing Halal Certification in International Trade Law. The interdisciplinary session drew strong interest from students.

At the closing session, Dean Prof. Dr. Muhammad Maksum expressed appreciation for students’ dedication to research and participation in the competitive forum. He emphasized that research should not stop at academic assignments but be developed into publishable articles in reputable national and international journals. He also praised the organizing committee for successfully managing the event, noting that the competition serves as a means to enhance research and writing skills rather than being an end in itself.

Winners of The Best Article were announced:

• 1st Place: Nur Miftahul Jannah (MHES, FSH UIN Jakarta)

• 2nd Place: M. Rafsan Jzani (Master of Law, UII Yogyakarta)

• 3rd Place: Muhammad Dzaky Zainuri et al. (MHES, FSH UIN Jakarta)
