Abstract

Zakat and waqf have an important role in strengthening the ummah's economy and building community welfare. In the digital era, this role is increasingly strategic with the existence of various innovations and digital platforms that facilitate the collection, management, and distribution of zakat and waqf. This research aims to analyze the role of zakat and waqf in empowering the people's economy in Indonesia, especially through the use of digital technology. This research method uses a qualitative approach with data collection techniques in the form of literature studies and secondary data analysis related to zakat and waqf digital platforms in Indonesia. The results show that digital technology enables more efficient, transparent, and accountable distribution of zakat and waqf, as well as expanding the reach of beneficiaries. In addition, digitalization also helps increase public awareness of the importance of zakat and waqf in strengthening the economic independence of the ummah. The use of applications and websites in the collection of zakat and waqf funds shows an increase in community participation, especially the younger generation, in supporting social activities and economic empowerment. The conclusion of this study emphasizes the importance of collaboration between zakat and waqf management institutions, the government, and the technology sector to encourage the development of digital platforms that can increase the effectiveness and impact of zakat and waqf in empowering the people's economy.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of zakat institutions in improving the community's economy through various empowerment programs. The research method used is a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with zakat institution managers, beneficiary mustahik, and community leaders, supplemented by documentation studies and field observations. The results show that zakat institutions contribute significantly to increasing the income and independence of mustahik through programs such as business capital assistance, skills training, and business mentoring. Some mustahik have even succeeded in improving their standard of living and becoming muzakki. However, zakat institutions still face challenges such as limited funds, low financial literacy among mustahik, and the need for innovation in empowerment programs. This study recommends the need to strengthen collaboration between zakat institutions and the government, the private sector, and academics to expand the socio-economic impact of zakat management.
