Zakat is one of the teachings in Islam that encourages people to care for others and share part of their wealth with those who are entitled to receive it. However, the concept of zakat is sometimes still understood by children only as a religious obligation without being connected to its social meaning in everyday life. For this reason, introducing zakat from an early age is important so that children can understand that helping others and caring for people in need are also part of Islamic values. This community service activity aimed to introduce the concept of zakat and its role as a form of social concern to students of Madrasah Diniyah Awaliyah (MDA) in Jorong Pagadih Hilia. The activity was held on Friday, June 19, 2026, at Nurul Iman Mosque, Jorong Pagadih Hilia. The activity used an educational approach through simple explanations, discussion, questions and answers, and examples related to the children’s daily lives. Evaluation was carried out by observing students’ participation and responses during the activity and through questions given after the material was delivered. The activity showed that the students were interested in learning about zakat and began to understand that zakat is not only related to giving wealth but also reflects concern for people who are in need. The contribution of this activity lies in introducing the social dimension of zakat from an early age, so that religious learning can be connected with caring, sharing, and helping others. The activity concludes that simple and contextual zakat education can become an important first step in developing children’s social awareness based on Islamic values.
