Abstract

The institution of zakah is the cornerstone of the Islamic economic system and the disbursement of the zakah fund in line with the Qur’anic injunction ensures equitable distribution and transfer of wealth from the rich to the poor. However, zakah practice in many Muslim countries left wide gap especially in realizing the goal of zakah in poverty reduction. For instance, zakah on employment income is largely neglected despite its juristic backing and changing economic structure that creates high professional income earners that form either upper middle class or lower middle class of the society. The objective of this paper is to explore the intention of income earners to pay zakah on their employment income in Kano State as this will add to the zakatable sources of the State Zakah commission. The paper employed Theory of Reasoned Action to examine the behavioral intention of 300 academics across Kano state government owned tertiary educational institutions to pay zakah on their income. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data collected. The overall result shows that the respondents have favorable behavioral intention towards payment of zakah on employment income. Specifically, the positive effect of both attitudinal beliefs and subjective norm on the behavioral intention is revealed. Hence, the need to come up with a comprehensive policy that will boost zakah collection, consequently its distribution to reduce extreme poverty in the state.

Abstract

Islamic Social finance is an emerging area of study and practice, different from commercial finance. It concerns about financing members of the community or country for socio-economic development. However, it faces the challenge of sustainability either due to legal or regulatory framework or due to lack of awareness among members of the society. The history of Islamic social finance in Nigeria connects back to the revivalism of Islam through Shehu Uthman Bin Fodio in 1804. Recently, with the establishment of Zakat and Endowment Committee in Sokoto in 2007, there was an increasing awareness and practice in the contemporary Islamic Social Finance, especially when the Government converts the Committee into Commission in 2016 which makes it independence to initiate and execute its policies. The objective of this paper is to examine two of its recently executed projects vis-à-vis Youth and Women Empowerment programs. The study uses qualitative technique for data collection and analysis. Two focus group sessions were conducted with the Youth and Women entrepreneurs who benefitted from the empowerment programs by the SZEC. The study finds that the Youth have been able to harness their potentials by expanding their businesses and upgrading the quality of their products and services such as shoe repair due the skills acquired in the training. Moreover, the women have improved their welfare and that of their children to an unprecedented level. They were able to maintain their chosen business as livelihood of income. However, they reveal that, marketing of their finished products is the major challenge they face.

In addition, banks implement pick-up promotional services that allow people to make transactions such as payments and deposits without having to come to the bank directly, thus saving time and costs. The system is equipped with features such as passbooks and deposit slips to support the supervision of customer funds and increase trust. Despite challenges such as competition from other financial institutions and a lack of understanding of the product by potential customers, this strategy has shown positive results in expanding service access, increasing satisfaction, and strengthening relationships with customers.   sfdfsdfed

Abstract

Zakat is a third pillar of Islam and has been considered as the mainstay of Islamic economics. It comes at the center of the five pillars of Islam, which some scholars interpret as providing balance between ibadat (worship) and muamalat (day to day human transactions). Historically it provides solutions to economic problems of the Muslims society. However, its application is reduced to individual levels with limited impact in many parts of the world. In the recent times, there is revival of the institution of zakat. Thus, the paper examines the contemporary developments on zakat particularly its potential and applications in Muslim countries and communities. The methodology adopted is content analysis with critical review of the literature. Secondary data were sourced from reports covering 2014 to 2020. The data was specifically analyzed based on the trends and potentials of zakat in Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, North Africa and the Russian Federation. The paper finds that, zakat in many Muslim jurisdictions has the potential of alleviating poverty and drastically reducing income inequality based on international standards. The implication of the study is that Muslim countries and communities should revive zakat and apply it in their mainstream economic system to solve their socio-economic problems.
