<![CDATA[Zakat management plays an important role in the Islamic economic system as an instrument for promoting social welfare and reducing poverty in a sustainable manner. Indonesia has significant zakat potential, but it has not yet fully optimized its collection and utilization. Several challenges remain, including limited public understanding of zakat, inadequate institutional governance, uneven adoption of digital technology, and distribution practices that still focus largely on meeting immediate consumption needs. This study examines the revitalization of zakat management as an instrument for economic empowerment and sustainable poverty alleviation from the perspective of Islamic economics. The study uses a qualitative approach and a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Data were obtained from Scopus-indexed journal articles, nationally accredited SINTA journals, academic books, and official reports published between 2020 and 2026. The literature was analyzed through identification, screening, eligibility assessment, and thematic synthesis. The findings indicate that revitalizing zakat management requires more than increasing zakat collection. It also involves strengthening institutional governance, implementing good governance principles, developing digital zakat services, expanding productive zakat programs, and improving the capacity and professionalism of amil. Zakat management should also be aligned with the principles of maqoṣid al-syariah and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Such integration can improve transparency and accountability, strengthen the economic empowerment of mustahik, and contribute to sustainable poverty alleviation. This study proposes a conceptual model that integrates institutional governance, digital transformation, productive zakat, maqāṣid al-syariah, and the SDGs as a strategy for strengthening Islamic economic development in Indonesia.]]>
