Abstract

This research investigates the role of Information Technology (IT) in optimizing Zakat management in Indonesia, the world's largest Muslim-majority country. Employing a mixed-methods approach, qualitative insights from in-depth interviews and quantitative data from surveys were integrated to provide a comprehensive understanding of the current state of IT integration, challenges faced, perceived benefits, and its impact on Zakat distribution processes. The findings reveal a spectrum of IT adoption among Zakat organizations, with cybersecurity concerns, resistance to change, and resource constraints identified as persistent challenges. Perceived benefits include enhanced transparency, streamlined distribution processes, and improved communication with beneficiaries. Statistical analysis supports a positive correlation between IT integration levels and perceived improvements in distribution fairness and effectiveness. The implications and recommendations drawn from these integrated insights guide stakeholders in optimizing Zakat administration through effective and secure IT adoption, aligning with principles of transparency, efficiency, and equitable distribution.

Abstract

This qualitative study delves into the dynamics of religious tolerance within the diverse societal fabric of Indonesia, with a particular focus on Islamic perspectives. Through interviews with 10 informants representing various religious backgrounds, the research elucidates the role of Islam in fostering tolerance amidst religious diversity. Key themes emerge, highlighting Islamic teachings on tolerance, challenges to religious harmony, and strategies for promoting interfaith understanding. While Islam emphasizes principles of acceptance and coexistence, the study uncovers persistent challenges such as the politicization of religion and the influence of extremist ideologies. Nevertheless, the findings underscore the agency of individuals and communities in promoting religious tolerance through dialogue, education, and community engagement initiatives. Ultimately, the study contributes to a nuanced understanding of the interplay between Islam and religious tolerance in Indonesia, offering insights for fostering a culture of inclusivity and respect in diverse societies.
