Review of Islamic Social Finance and Entrepreneurship (RISFE) is an academic journal published by the Center for Islamic Economics and Development Studies (CIEDS)- P3EI, Faculty of Business and Economics, Universitas Islam Indonesia. The journal is published twice a year on March and September, intended as a medium for information, communication, and dissemination of research results and scientific studies in the field of Islamic social finance and entrepreneurship. Islamic social finance and entrepreneurship is defined as sectors which have a dimension of social mission within the organization, consist of traditional Islamic philanthropic institutions—zakat, shadaqah and waqf, and non-profit organizations such as corporate social responsibility (CSR) and non-government organizations (NGOs), as well as contemporary Islamic microfinance institutions and other Islamic social enterprises. Social entrepreneurship is all about recognizing the social problems and achieving a social change by employing entrepreneurial principles, processes and operations. It is all about making a research and development in managing a social venture to attain the desired change. The main objective of Islamic social finance and entrepreneurship is to meet the needs of the poor and marginalized groups to be able to participate actively in the main economic system in a just and efficient way so that an inclusive economic system can be realized based on Islamic principles.
