Abstract

The Human Development Index (HDI) is critical for measuring a country’s economic growth. This research aims to determine the impact of zakat distribution in five priority sectors, i.e., humanity, education, economy, health and religion, on Indonesia’s HDI. The data consists of zakat distribution and HDI for the 2012-2022 period. Ordinary Least Square (OLS) regression is used to analyze the relationship between variables using the EViews 12 tool. The distribution of zakat in the education and humanitarian sectors has a positive and significant effect on increasing HDI in Indonesia. Meanwhile, no impact is found on the economic sector, health and religion. Implications are drawn for zakat institutions and the government to formulate policies and programs to optimize zakat funds consistently and strategically in vital sectors.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the development of zakat research in Malaysia and Indonesia from the Scopus database. Keywords “Zakat” or “Zakah” or “Islamic Social Finance” were used to harvest the data, yielding 364 articles from Malaysia and 295 documents from Indonesia. Machine learning tools, i.e., Bibliometrix via R-Studio and VOSViewer were employed for the bibliometric study. The Scopus database has recorded zakat publications from Malaysia since 1997, and from Indonesia since 2008. Saad R A J and Widiastuti T marked the most Malaysian and Indonesian influential authors with 18 and 14 documents, respectively. Further comparative analysis was done, showcasing the differences between the two countries in terms of international collaboration, trending topics and other scholarly measures related to the zakat administration discussed in the publications of Malaysian and Indonesian scholars.
