Abstract

Poverty is a worldwide issue of concern to the international community, including Pakistan. Khairpur is a rural region in Pakistan where a significant proportion of the population lives below the poverty threshold. This research aims to describe the practice of zakat and its implications for the residents of the Khairpur district in Pakistan, using qualitative research techniques. The methods employed to collect data in this study involved conducting interviews with Khairpur residents, observations, and reviewing relevant literature. The findings indicated that in Khairpur, the local community perceives the practice of zakat as a means of providing socio-economic security for the elderly by allocating zakat funds to healthcare facilities. Donating Zakat to educational institutions can also provide assistance to economically vulnerable groups of children. Zakat initiatives can aid women's groups in funding their wedding expenses and dowries. Nevertheless, this research also exposed that the transparency of zakat management has been inadequate and requires further improvement to ensure that a larger portion of the Khairpur population can reap the benefits of zakat.Problem global kemiskinan telah lama menjadi perhatian masyarakat dunia, termasuk di Pakistan. Khairpur adalah salah satu daerah pedesaan Pakistan yang memiliki banyak segmen masyarakat yang hidup di bawah garis kemiskinan. Penelitian ini bermaksud untuk menjelaskan praktik zakat dan refleksinya bagi masyarakat di distrik Khairpur Pakistan melalui metode kualitatif.  Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui sejumlah wawancara dengan penduduk Khairpur, observasi, dan telaah pustaka. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa praktik zakat di Khairpur telah dianggap oleh masyarakat setempat dapat memberikan jaminan sosial ekonomi untuk orang lanjut usia melalui zakat yang dialokasi ke dalam fasilitas kesehatan. Zakat yang dialokasikan ke dalam fasilitas pendidikan juga mampu membantu kelompok anak-anak yang memiliki kerentanan ekonomi. Sedangkan bagi bagi kelompok perempuan, program zakat dapat membantu mereka dalam pembiayaan mahar maupun upacara pernikahan. Meski demikian, pada sisi lain, penelitian ini juga mengungkapkan bahwa praktik pengelolaan zakat belum transparan dan masih perlu ditingkatkan lagi jumlahnya agar semakin banyak segmen penduduk Khairpur yang merasakan manfaat zakat tersebut.

Abstract

The 13th Five Year Plan 2016-2020 (FYP) says that Pakistan wants to be a global hub for Halal food, and the country is on track to reach this goal by 2025. However, the progress needs to be supported by a complete ecosystem that lets the Halal supply chain close the compliance loop. So, calling for sustainable development to help strengthen the definition of "Halal." Even though they want to, the Halal food industry is not ready to use green practices yet, and the issues are still new and changing. The food industry is one of the leading causes of environmental problems, creating a lot of waste. Promoting sustainability in the production of Halal food can help them to reduce their impact on the environment. This will help Pakistan because other countries will recognize Pakistani Halal standards not only as a sign of cleanliness and safe but also as a sign of eco-friendly practices. So, the green Halal supply chain is now crucial to making the world a Halal hub. In response to these needs, the goals of this study are: first, to find out what green practices are used to manage the Halal food supply chain in collaboration with the supplier and customer; second, to find out what sustainable performance results from using green practices; and third, to find out if supplier-customer collaboration lessens the effect of green practice on sustainable performance. The goals of this study will be met through a mix of quantitative and qualitative methods. Overall, this study is supposed to develop a model that gives a complete picture of the Green Halal supply chain regarding how suppliers and customers work together to do green practices. The model can help the business world and policymakers figure out what green practices they can work together on and the pros and cons of doing so. Pakistan can build its reputation as the world's top Halal hub by joining the Green Halal supply chain.
