The focus of the research is directed toward an in-depth understanding of marketing practices based on sharia values, the forms of product innovation developed, and how these two aspects contribute to improving business performance. The research method employed is a qualitative approach with a case study design, using data collection techniques such as in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation with MSME actors selected through purposive sampling. Data analysis was carried out through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study show that sharia marketing is implemented by MSMEs through the principles of honesty, transparency, friendly service, and the avoidance of practices that harm consumers.
