Abstract

Twelve million Filipinos live in extreme poverty. Despite a well-crafted government model for poverty alleviation, the state’s role in managing charities to alleviate economic deprivation has been minimal. By reason of the state’s strict adherence to secularism, the operation of Islamic institutions at the social level is deemed unconstitutional. It is unfortunate that the dynamics of Islamic social financial institutions, i.e. zakat, waqf and ṣadaqah, are not reflected in the economic road map for the reconstruction of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, particularly the rehabilitation of the city of Marawi after the war. This study examines the initiatives taken by government agencies and Muslim organizations towards the gradual revival of zakat as an Islamic social financial institution. In addition, the study highlights issues on the management of zakat and its role in poverty alleviation within the context of a secular state. This study finds that due to mismanagement, zakat fails to eliminate or reduce the poverty of the Muslim minorities in the Philippines.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v25i1.5969

Abstract

The study delves into discussions addressing the development of knowledge culture and its implications for peace and sustainable development within the Philippines. The research also looks at government policies and procedures for advancing cultural and civilizational relationships. The research seeks to explore routes for integrating knowledge initiatives that would put Muslim education in a new favorable light in the eyes of humanity by utilizing original materials such as government data, unpublished publications, and interviews. The paper recommends that the tawhidic approach be acknowledged and used to build bridges and channels of academic, scientific, and technical collaboration with other systems and educational institutions at both the local and national levels. In conclusion, the study develops the concept of knowledge integration in serving the interests of the country and beyond.
