This research aims to analyze the role of zakat distribution programs for poverty allevation and income inequality reduction among groups in urban and rural areas. It takes the case study of 1,309 zakat beneficiaries managed by the National Zakat Board of Indonesia (BAZNAS) as the coordinating zakat institution in Indonesia, in five different cities and regencies in West Java Province namely, Bogor, Depok and Sukabumi. The analytical tools used in this study are the modification of the Center of Islamic Business and Economic Studies (CIBEST) model, CHAID analysis, Deciles method and Gini coefficient. This study suggests that the present zakat distribution programs can significantly alleviate poverty and reduce income inequality among the observed zakat beneficiaries. It is also found that spiritual supervision and routine assistance form BAZNAS officers, informal education, family size, age and job of the respondents are the variables that are statistically significant in influencing the increase of the households’ monthly income and spirituality.

This paper studies the theoretical structure of financing for Islamic philanthropy in the form of waqf or endowment by looking at the past and present forms of waqf. Waqf is expected to play a more important role to tackle current social and educational issues, where financial sustainability has become one of the greatest challenges faced by waqf institutions. Using the content and thematic analysis approaches, this paper reviews the practice of successful waqf institutions and summarizes the features that are significant to a successful waqf fundraising and management. The paper analyses three models that are suitable for innovation and management of waqf fundraising: Venture Philanthropy of Waqf Model (VPWM), Value-Based Capital Model of Waqf (VBCM), and Social Enterprise Waqf Fund Model (SEWF). The paper then investigates the possibility of applying the Management by Objectives (MBO) framework to improve the overall management of waqf institutions. The discussions are hoped to be able to contribute towards developing a better fundraising and management of waqf institutions.

Background: Zakat is an important Islamic financial tool that contributes to socioeconomic development, including education, by redistributing wealth to those in need. In Malaysia, state governments manage zakat collection and distribution, with significant variation across states in how education zakat is handled. Objectives: This study aims to compare the distribution and impact of education zakat across different Malaysian states, focusing on zakat office in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and other factors that influence education zakat effects. Novelty: This study offers a unique contribution by comparing education zakat across states in Malaysia and examining the determinants that lead to effective education zakat outcomes, with a special focus on zakat office in HEIs. Research Methodology / Design: A qualitative research methodology is employed, combining library research on zakat practices across states with unstructured interviews from officials at zakat offices in HEIs. The fi sabilillah category is used as the best proxy for education zakat to isolate zakat given due to poverty reasons. Findings: The results indicate significant disparities in zakat allocation for education across Malaysian states. For instance, Sarawak allocated the highest percentage of zakat for education, while Selangor allocated the lowest. Factors influencing these differences include availability of wide range of zakat schemes, the extension of asnaf categories, and student perceptions of zakat management systems. Implication: Findings suggest that diverse zakat scheme, broader asnaf categories, and positive perception among students on zakat management in HEIs could enhance the impact of education zakat. States with higher allocation for education zakat has the potential to enjoy improved educational outcomes. Encouraging other states to adopt good practices, including those seen in HEIs, can help enhance the impact of education zakat, leading to more efficient resource allocation and greater educational equity across Malaysia.

Purpose – This study examines how social media influencers shape students’ willingness to engage in sadaqah (voluntary charity) at the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM), using the theory of planned behavior (TPB) as the guiding framework.Methodology – A mixed-methods design was employed, combining a survey of 150 students with semi-structured interviews with three influencers active in charitable campaigns. A descriptive analysis of TPB constructs (attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, and behavioral intention) was conducted alongside thematic analysis of the interview data.Findings – Students reported high exposure to influencer-promoted campaigns, particularly on Instagram and TikTok. Attitudes toward sadaqah were positive, and subjective norms were influential, as many felt encouraged to donate when their peers participated. However, financial constraints and trust-related concerns limit donations and underscore perceived behavioral control as a barrier. Influencers have highlighted the importance of emotional storytelling, transparency, and alignment with Islamic values in motivating contributions.Implications – Campaigns should pair credible, value-congruent influencers with platforms that have clear Shariah governance, transparent fund allocation, and visible verification to build trust; lower behavioral frictions through micro and recurring donation options, simple payment flows, and salient security cues; and leverage subjective norms by embedding peer-sharing prompts and social proof. Universities and NGOs can co-create cause-fit content with emotional storytelling and real-time impact updates to convert intentions into actual donations.Originality – This study is among the first to explore influencer-led sadaqah campaigns in Malaysia by integrating TPB with insights from Islamic social finance and digital philanthropy.
