Islamic Education Investment Cost Management

Abstract

This study aims to examine the procedures for managing investment costs in Islamic education comprehensively, covering aspects of planning, procurement, use, reporting, to monitoring and evaluation. Islamic education does not only focus on cognitive aspects, but also on the formation of Islamic character and values, which require strategic investment in infrastructure, technological assets, and human resource development. Through a desk research approach, this study identifies the main dimensions of educational investment costs, the national legal basis that underlies them, and the practical challenges and opportunities in their implementation. The results of the study indicate that the application of Islamic principles such as maslahah, syura, amanah, hisab, and sharia accountability are very relevant to be applied in every stage of managing educational investment costs. However, limited funds, managerial capacity, and weak monitoring systems are still obstacles that require strategic solutions based on technology and collaboration. This study suggests strengthening the participatory planning system, transparency of sharia-based procurement, and the development of human resources that are balanced between competence and Islamic morals in order to achieve the goals of holistic and sustainable Islamic education
