Specifically, it explained the role of zakat, waqf, sukuk, and crowdfunding in helping customers, producers, and governments in helping those affected by the crisis as well as increasing the economic activities which in turn would help reduce unemployment and revive the recession faced by many countries throughout the world during this pandemic crisis. The instruments of Islamic social finance need to be mobilized to boost the economy during the COVID19 pandemic is as well as the anticipated post-CoVID19 pandemic. Zakat, waqf as well as social investments through sukuk and crowdfunding should play significant roles not only during but also post-pandemic that could increase the economic activities and help the economy to get out of recession. 2020-11-01T00:00:00Z http://unisep.lib.unishams.edu.my/xmlui/handle/123456789/2702 The Influence of Islamic Works Ethics and Subjective Norms on Unethical Behavior among Small and Medium Enterprise Owners in Malaysia Mohd Farid bin Abd Latib; Yusuf bin Haji Othman, Dr.; Mohd Nasir Bin Ahmad; Ridzhal bin Hasnan The purpose of this study is to examine the antecedents of Islamic works ethics and peers influence towards unethical behavior among the small an d medium enterprise owner s in Malaysia.
