Abstract

This study explores how entrepreneurial self-reliance among students is developed through the integration of Islamic business ethics at the Ar-Ridho Sentul Modern Islamic Boarding School in Bogor, Indonesia. Employing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with key stakeholders and documentation of entrepreneurial activities, including canteens, cooperatives, and online businesses managed by students. The data were analyzed descriptively to identify patterns related to entrepreneurial self-reliance, ethical practice, and institutional support. The findings indicate that Islamic business ethics are positioned as a moral foundation for students’ entrepreneurial activities, supported by leadership commitment, ethical guidance, and practical involvement in business units. The study also notes limitations related to experience and human resources and discusses opportunities and potential threats in relation to the application of ethical principles such as justice, transparency, and social responsibility. The study concludes that integrating Islamic business ethics into entrepreneurial practices in this pesantren is closely associated with the development of students’ entrepreneurial self-reliance and value-based entrepreneurship aligned with Islamic teachings.
