Abstract

This study examines the cooperative-based economic management model at Pondok Pesantren Mamba'ul Bayan Nahdlatul Wathan in North Lombok Regency through a qualitative case study approach. Data were collected via in-depth interviews with the foundation chairperson, cooperative administrators, and santri, supplemented by participatory observation and document analysis. Results show that the pesantren has developed a diversified cooperative business model encompassing stationery retail, food and beverage services, and a signature local product (cilok) distributed through a reseller network. Four interrelated pillars participatory institutional governance, sharia financial management, productive business-unit innovation, and continuous santri entrepreneurship development are examined against the maqashid al-shari'ah ethical framework. Findings reveal that the cooperative performs strongest in business innovation while confronting persistent deficits in governance formalisation, systematic financial recording, and structured entrepreneurship education. Capital formation, human resource capacity, and strategic planning represent the three mutually reinforcing constraints limiting the cooperative's transition from subsistence-sustaining to transformative economic institution. The study proposes a four-pillar sustainability model grounded in maqashid al-shari'ah and offers concrete optimisation strategies for pesantren cooperative development in peripheral Indonesian regencies.
