A bibliometric method was employed to identify publication trends, leading sources, authors, institutions, and country contributions in zakat-related studies. The analysis was conducted using Biblioshiny and VOSviewer software. The findings reveal that research on zakat has grown significantly since 2019, with peak productivity observed between 2021 and 2023. Indonesia and Malaysia emerged as the main contributors, with Universitas Airlangga and University Utara Malaysia being the most productive institutions. In terms of sources, the Journal of Islamic Accounting and Business Research was identified as the most influential journal, while Malaysia ranked highest in citation impact. Overall, the study confirms that zakat plays a vital role as a strategic instrument for poverty alleviation; however, strengthening governance, enhancing transparency, adopting digital innovation, and fostering international collaboration remain crucial to optimizing its contribution.]]>
