The external factors are Bank Indonesia Sharia Certificates (SBIS, Sertifikat Bank Indonesia Syariah) as an indicator of the placement of Islamic funds, and profit of DPLK Muamalat as a religious factor.The method used in this research is done by Multiple Correlation Regression Analysis with monthly data starting from April 2008 (since the existence of SBIS) until October 2017. Moreover, Analysis Method of HahSlm Theory is added which is an analysis that approached according to Islamic thinking model to provide a benchmark that corresponds to the religious value.The final result of this study emphasizes that all factors, which consist of the internal factors, external factors and religious factors, affect the assets of DPLK Muamalat. It is interesting to know that the profit of Bank Muamalat has a negative correlation.
