<![CDATA[Zakat is a pillar of Islam that has both worship and socio-economic dimensions. This article discusses the basics of zakat through a study of verses from the Qur'an and the hadith of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), accompanied by an analysis of classical and contemporary scholars of tafsir and hadith commentary. The research uses a literature study method with a focus on the tafsir of Ibn Kathir, al-Qurtubi, and Quraish Shihab, as well as authentic hadiths from Sahih Bukhari and Muslim. The results show that zakat is an instrument for wealth distribution that aims to create social justice, improve the welfare of the people, and strengthen social solidarity. This study also emphasizes the importance of professional zakat management in a modern context to support economic development and poverty alleviation. Based on the results of a normative analysis of the interpretations of the Qur'an and hadith studied, this study found that the principle of socio-economic justice in Islam is not only moral-ideal, but has a strong and applicable textual basis. The interpretation emphasizes the obligation to distribute wealth fairly, prohibit exploitation, and protect vulnerable groups as a form of structural justice, while the hadith reinforces it through the practical example of the Prophet Muhammad in economic management oriented towards the welfare of the people. The unique findings of this study indicate that the integration of normative values of interpretation and hadith is able to build a framework of socio-economic justice that is relevant to address contemporary economic inequality, by placing ethics, social responsibility, and balance between individual rights and public interests as the main principles]]>
