The internal factors that were tested are liquidity (LQ), return on equity (ROE), leverage (LV), and size of the firm (SIZE). The financial performance of takaful firms is measured by using the return on assets (ROA) ratio.

The type of data used in this research is secondary data, that are retrieved from the company’s annual report.
