<![CDATA[Zakat is an important component of Islamic teaching that develops religious awareness, social responsibility, empathy, and solidarity among students. Zakat distribution activities at the community level provide an opportunity to introduce these values through direct educational experiences. The problem addressed in this study is the limited understanding of madrasah students regarding the principles, procedures, and educational values of zakat fitrah distribution. This study aims to examine the implementation of zakat distribution education for madrasah students through the Zakat Collection Unit (UPZ) at Langgar Nurrul Jannah, RT 10, Parit Culum I Village. This study employed a qualitative empirical approach. Data were collected through interviews, field observations, and documentation of zakat distribution activities and administrative records. The data were analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that zakat distribution activities provide students with direct learning experiences regarding the meaning of zakat, the criteria of mustahik, the distribution process, and the importance of honesty, responsibility, fairness, empathy, and social solidarity. Students' involvement in observing and understanding the distribution process also strengthens their awareness of helping people in need and practicing Islamic values in everyday life. The study concludes that zakat distribution through UPZ Langgar Nurrul Jannah can function as a contextual educational medium for strengthening students' zakat literacy and Islamic character. Integration between religious learning and community-based zakat practices can provide meaningful learning experiences for madrasah students.]]>
