<![CDATA[As an Islamic financial instrument, zakat has a very important and strategic role. The status of zakat as an obligation for Muslims, makes zakat has great potential. The magnitude of this potential needs to be optimised so that the purpose and wisdom of zakat can be realised. However, it is still acknowledged that the potential described has not been fully realised, with various obstacles faced. This paper examines theoretically related to the pattern and mechanism of zakat management, both in terms of sharia perspective and implementative perspective in amil zakat institutions, as well as its impact on the economy. Effective zakat management will make the contribution of zakat in the economy more optimal. Among the role of zakat as a fiscal instrument in Islam, it is also an instrument of income redistribution. The effective role of zakat will contribute to overcoming various economic problems such as poverty, income inequality, and unemployment. Where through the zakat instrument, an equitable distribution of income will be realised, so that it will increase the purchasing power of people at the lower economic level, as well as increase production capacity for entrepreneurs, as a result of increasing people's purchasing power.]]>
