| description | Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are reckoned as the main player in domestic economic
activities. This paper tries to contribute to the development and understanding of SMEs by encompassing social
entrepreneurship as an empowering instrument. Considering the latest thought for intellectual milieu, this paper
discloses the buried interlocking principles for social entrepreneurship by Islamic doctrine. The plot of current
research is generated by few related frameworks that are in line with the Islamic notion which reviews the roles and
obstacles of SMEs development. Given the extensive attentions on Islamic values, this paper reveals that every
Muslim entrepreneur and related supporting agent must change their old vision into the new one- that they should
work more productively. Besides, in many countries, several programs to empower SMEs have practically exposed its
significant need and development. Therefore, a number of policies, initiatives and objectives are drawn to build social
entrepreneurship to empower SMEs. However, empowering SMEs can change Muslim entrepreneurs’ vision regarding
fair production which is attributed by Islam. Therefore, there is a need to a condition in which the cooperation between
Islamic financial institutions and SMEs is naturally embedded in social capital structure. |
