Abstract

This study aimed to examining innovations in Sharia-compliant insurance products and business models, specifically crowd takaful, sharing tabarru, and peer-to-peer insurance. The methodology applied follows the PRISMA framework, involving a comprehensive search in the Scopus database, strict selection criteria, and thematic qualitative and quantitative analysis to ensure reliability and relevance of the reviewed literature. Key findings reveal that crowd takaful and peer-to-peer insurance models significantly enhance financial inclusion and uphold ethical insurance principles aligned with Sharia values, with fintech technologies driving operational efficiency and transparency. The discussion highlights how integrating Islamic values into technological innovations deepens understanding and adaptation of these insurance models while identifying regulatory and moral hazard challenges that hinder broader development. The conclusion emphasizes this study’s contribution in linking Islamic economic theory with financial technology advances and its practical implications for regulatory innovation and financial literacy promotion. Future research is recommended to focus on cross-cultural comparative studies, development of hybrid theoretical frameworks combining Islamic economics with innovation diffusion and behavioral finance, and advanced bibliometric analyses to map academic progress and policy collaboration. This study aims to boost academic visibility with SEO-friendly keywords relevant to Sharia insurance and modern financial technology.

Abstract

Utilizing Zakat through a variety of productive programs can improve the welfare of the Muslim community and foster a sense of mental independence among them. Through the Boerka Superior Goat Breeding Center Program in Tanah Datar Regency, West Sumatra, this study aims to investigate how zakat is utilized based on the local geographical potential. Case study methodology is used as the qualitative research approach. Interviews and observations are employed as data collection techniques. The data analysis was conducted using the interactive data analysis model. According to the findings, the model consists of three phases: planning, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation. Several activities comprise the preparation of the program, including the formation of a management team, the selection of areas and mustahiks, and the provision of goats, forage seeds, and mentors. As part of the program's implementation, selected mustahiks will receive assistance in the form of training in recording, pen construction, disease prevention, and feed processing. During the monitoring and evaluation phase, the team conducted routine and ongoing monitoring and assessed the program's progress. This new basis in the utilization of zakat must be considered and implemented by zakat institutions, as it is insufficient to consider only the human factor, as local potential factors, including geographical potential, are also important in the utilization of zakat. Using zakat in a manner that prioritizes local geographical potential is anticipated to significantly enhance the quality of life for mustahiks.
