REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- The Indonesian Ulama Council (MUI) established the Islamic Business Incubation Center (Pinbas) to encourage economic business for Muslims in Indonesia.

MUI Chairman, Ma'ruf Amin said that Pinbas had a great potential to encourage economic business for people because many Muslims in the country did not have the economic strength.

"Pinbas is expected to raise Muslims' degree. It is working with various Islamic banks, business and other institutions to improve people's welfare," Amin said in welcoming speech on Saturday in Jakarta.

Pinbas is part of people's economic improvement programs to empower people. Islam teaches us to get away from poverty as it can draw people to disbelief.

Pinbas has a task to facilitate the economic potential in real sectors in developing Muslim's productivities. Muslims have the potential to be trained and developed in terms of market, funds and resources.

Pinbas inaguration was continued by a working meeting. The event was attended by dozens participants from various groups, including businessmen and MUI's representatives. They came from North Sumatra, South Sumatra, Central Java West Nusa Tenggara, Maluku, South Sulawesi and East Kalimantan.
