The quantitative research method uses a questionnaire distributed online to students of the class of 2019-2023 at Hashim Ashari University's Faculty of Economics, with up to 80 participants participating. The study revealed that students' investment interest in the Islamic capital market is not significantly influenced by their financial knowledge but rather by the impact of their Islamic Behavior. This was demonstrated through an analysis. At the same time, financial expertise and Islamic Behavior influence students' interest in investing in Islamic capital markets. This finding is essential for understanding what drives business students' interest in investing in Islamic capital markets and how this affects the development of financial education programs and academic Behavior toward Islamic finance. The results of this study are intended to help develop more effective educational and promotional strategies to increase students' interest in investing in Islamic capital markets. Keywords: Investment Interest. Islamic Behavior. Financial Knowledge. INTRODUCTION In today's modern world, individuals must be able to think more rationally and realistically in all existing areas: educational, religious, social, economic, and cultural. For example, from a financial perspective, achieving financial health requires being able to not only meet your needs in life but also manage your finances simultaneously. (Otoritas Jasa Keuangan, 2. Investing is a way to meet your future wants and needs. Investment events aim to realize future profits and needs. from now on, everyone should start thinking and preparing to know (Yuniawati & Asiyah, 2. The economic growth of a nation is significantly influenced by capital markets. (Eni Dasuki Suhardini, 2. The capital market enables investors to invest their excess funds into the capital markets and entrepreneurs to obtain additional funds to expand their business (Malik, 2. Given that the majority of Indonesian citizens are 86. 7% Muslim, this certainly has a significant impact on the number of investors, especially in the Islamic capital The Islamic Capital Market was developed to meet the needs of Indonesian Muslims who wish to invest in capital market products that comply with the fundamental principles of Shariah.

We provide educational activities in the form of In the world of capital markets However, the number of students investing is still relatively small, especially in economics departments This is because students lack financial knowledge regarding proper and correct financial management Based on their knowledge level, students are among the people with more significant investment potential Of course, the theories gained from the knowledge gained in the lectures can, when applied, lead to deeper insights into the science and practice of investing. The existence of student status or those belonging to Generation Z who dominate activities and activities that occur, especially in the economic world, especially the use of digital services, it is not surprising that target investors or investment service providers also target students as targets in investing. (Rasyiid & Rifki Khoirudin, 2. Investing from an Islamic perspective means that investing is one of the activities that plays an essential role in today's economy. Investing is a muhammara activity that is highly recommended by Islam because the wealth owned through investment becomes productive. Almighty Allah is described in the Qur'an (Surat Yusuf. Verses: 46-. as follows: a aa sso A s acOa Oa A s AA acO a eI EA s a s A Eac aEa eeOA a AOaO aA a a a a U AA aOac aN EAO aC aAIa aA a a a aC aaI acO aEEa aN acI a U aA aa a a a aaE EIA Aac Ea aEac aNI OaEa aIO aIA It means: "Joseph.

This verse teaches us that when we acquire wealth, we should not spend it all, but rather set aside some for more important purposes The solution to save assets for a more profitable venture is to invest in Islamic capital markets. The factor that influences investment interest is financial knowledge. Financial literacy is critical to be instilled early in a person. Financial knowledge, essential components of finance, and general investment knowledge are a combination of financial literacy. (Asamani & Mensah, 2. An example of financial knowledge in investing is the knowledge to calculate income and capital in investing. Not infrequently, some people, especially students, invest only by following what others do because of the easy dissemination and access to information. some cases, some support only tracking information, and others invest without careful In fact, in investing, one must consider the capital to the income generated in investing, in addition to not experiencing losses to not give birth to doubts and trauma over investment losses. (Munawar et al. , 2. Other factors, such as Islamic Behavior, also affect the investment interest of students of the Faculty of Economics. Hasyim Asy'ari University, as academics who are shaded by pesantren-based educational institutions so that Islamic values in economic Behavior must always be upheld to avoid activities that are considered outside the rules of Islamic law. Islamic Behavior is a person's commitment to religious values, expressed through thoughts, attitudes, and implementation.

(Prasetio et al. , 2. Previous studies on investment interest in capital markets have been studied extensively by researchers and have shown mixed results. Below are examples of prior research, starting with the study by Darmawan. Angelina, and Bagis on financial knowledge variables. They explained that financial literacy, investment knowledge, motivation, and perception of partial returns significantly influence students' investment interests. (Darmawan et al. , 2. This indicates that financial literacy variables, returns, risk perception, and technological advancements significantly impact students' investment interests. In contrast, gender variables do not substantially affect students' investments. Lestari. Indriani, and Karthikasari's (Lestari et al. , 2. However. Radamai. Suprianto, and Nugraheni's study showed that the variable financial literacy did not significantly impact investment interest. (Ladamay et , 2. Previous research related to Islamic behavior variables also had various results. According to Syahrizal. Prasaja, and Anjeli, the variables of return and religiosity affect investment decisions, while the variable risk has no effect. (Syahrizal et al. , 2. This is also in line with research conducted by Nabilah and Hartutik that shows that knowledge and religiosity variables affect investment interest. In contrast, investment motivation variables do not affect investment interest. However, research conducted by Prasetyo. Iswanji, and Khotijah showed that the religiosity variable did not affect investment interest. (Prasetyo & Purbawati. Based on this situation, the author wants to examine the factors of student investment interest amid current investment trends. Therefore, the author chose " The Influence of Financial Knowledge and Islamic Behavior on Students' Interest in Sharia Investment. LITERATURE REVIEW Investment Interest Interest is a feeling of empathy or fascination with a topic or activity without someone telling you what to do. Interest can be defined as the tendency of the mind to realize a desire or Therefore, people interested in investing tend to act to realize their investment aspirations, which are as follows.

Financial Knowledge A deep understanding of individuals in managing personal and family finances, as well as understanding and having complete confidence in the decisions made related to the finances of the individual, is the understanding of financial literacy. (Ladamay et al. , 2. Financial literacy teaches managing finances individually and in groups to avoid financial problems. Economic issues such as debt and other financial hardships become an issue. Financial literacy includes the science of finance, insurance, savings, credit, and investing. (Yushita, 2. Islamic Behavior Islamic Behavior refers to how committed a person is to their religion. This indicates that the person has internalized his religion's teachings, which influence all his actions and outlook on life.

The following is a discussion of the validity test results from the table: This study uses a validity criterion where a statement item is considered valid if the rcal>rtabelrcalcal>rtable. From the table visible, the rtabletable value for all items is 0. The following is an analysis for each variable: Financial Knowledge (X. : Items X11 to X16 have calculation values that are all greater than the tables, which are 0. 779, 0. 426, 0. 496, 0. 333, 0. 353, and 0. 849, respectively. Thus, all items in this variable are declared valid. Islamic Behavior (X. : Items X21 to X25 also show calculation values greater than the tables, namely 0. 892, 0. 694, 0. 707, 0. 685, and 0. All items in this variable are valid. Investment Interest (Y): Items Y11 to Y15 have calculated values of 0. 849, 0. 779, 0. 781, and 0. 917, respectively. These values are greater than the rtable, so all items in the Investment Interest variable are declared valid. Based on Table 1, it can be concluded that all statement items in the variables Financial Knowledge. Islamic Behavior, and Investment Interest are valid, because the calculation value for each item is greater than the table . This shows that research instruments can be trusted to measure the variables studied. Reliability Test This research is to conduct reliability tests using the help of SPSS software, and reliability tests can be known with Cronbach alpha. The criteria used in the reliability test are if the Cronbach value is alpha>0. 60, then the instrument can be said to be reliable. The instrument can be unreliable if the Cronbach value is alpha<0. (Romie Priyastama, 2. Table 2. Reliability Test Results Reliability Statistics Cronbach's Alpha Based Cronbach's Standardized Alpha Items N of Items Source: SPSS, processed. In this table, it is shown that Cronbach's Alpha value is 0. 921, which exceeds the minimum limit of 0. Based on the criteria used, if the value of Cronbach's Alpha is greater 60, the research instrument is declared reliable. This means that the instruments used in this study, both related to the variables Investment Interest. Social Media. Financial Literacy. Risk. Return, and Religiosity, are reliable. In other words, these instruments are consistent in measuring the variables studied. Normality Test Normal data distribution is the objective of normality testing. The KolmogorovSmirnov test was employed to verify the normality of the study data presented in the report. The decision basis is determined when the significance () < 5 > 5% In this case, we are talking about normally distributed data. Another alternative normality testing step is using a Monte Carlo method with systematic evolution with random numbers. The purpose of Monte Carlo is to examine normally distributed or nondistributed data from test data from random samples or samples with too high values. A 2023 The Author.

Based on the results of the regression test, financial knowledge contributes to a better understanding of investments, including the risks, benefits, and mechanisms involved in sharia investment. Good financial knowledge allows students to make more rational and informed decisions regarding investments, especially those related to sharia principles. In the regression test table . s in the stud. , the regression coefficient of the financial knowledge variable showed a positive relationship with sharia investment interest.

The Influence of Islamic Behavior on Sharia Investment Interest Islamic behavior is another key variable in this study. The results of the study show that students who have an understanding and awareness of Islamic teachings, especially in the context of finance, are more likely to have a high interest in investing in sharia instruments. This Islamic behavior is related to the values of justice, simplicity, the prohibition of riba . , and other Islamic financial principles that are the basis of the Islamic economic The results of the regression test also show that Islamic behavior has a more significant influence than financial knowledge in encouraging students' interest in investing. Students who have good Islamic behavior tend to feel more comfortable and safe in choosing sharia investment instruments that are in line with their beliefs. This is in line with the concept that sharia investment is not only seen from an economic point of view, but also from a religious perspective that supports compliance with Islamic law. Student Interest in Sharia Investment This study measures students' interest in sharia investment as a dependent variable, which is influenced by financial knowledge and Islamic behavior. From the results of the F test carried out, it was found that the two independent variables simultaneously had a significant influence on student investment interest. This means that financial knowledge and Islamic behavior together shape students' interest in choosing sharia investment instruments. Thus, this study underscores the importance of educating students about financial literacy and encouraging an understanding of Islamic behavior to increase participation in sharia-based investment. These two factors complement each other, where financial literacy provides an understanding of investment mechanisms, while Islamic behavior provides a moral and ethical framework in making investment decisions. CONCLUTION Here is the conclusion formatted into bullet points: Financial knowledge (X. does not have a significant impact on students' interest in investing in the Islamic capital market. Islamic behavior (X. has a significant effect on students' interest in investing in the Islamic capital market. The F-test results indicate that financial knowledge (X. and Islamic behavior (X. jointly have a significant influence on students' investment interest in the Islamic capital market. The coefficient of determination (RA) shows that 30. 4% of the variation in investment interest is explained by the independent variables in this study, while the remaining 69. is influenced by factors outside this study.
