Creating an Eco-Sustainable Community: the Role of Zakat Mohd. Ma’sum Billah
International Journal of Zakat Vol 1 No 1 (2016)
Publisher : Center of Strategic Studies (PUSKAS) BAZNAS

According to Saud (1988) and Shad (1986), the institution of Zakat, is a divine obligatory sort of taxation acting as the most effective measure in upgrading the financial condition of the destitute. This institution strives to achieve objectives, which are broader in nature. This is because, not only does it aim at providing the society with financial security, but it also, as a whole, inculcates moral, social and spiritual values in each individual. In view of the institution of Zakat aiming at achieving broader objectives, this research therefore, seeks to prove that the institution of Zakat may not only form the basis of today’s modern social security system, but also brings some other benefits to the society. The whole research however, is divided into several sub-sections besides a conclusion. It therefore, presents the foundation of the institution of Zakat followed by the evaluation of whether the institution of Zakat can provide a meaningful social security along with a justification that, the institution of Zakat is capable of providing a result oriented alternative to the modern social security system. Keywords: Zakat, poverty eradication, sustainability, social securityJEL Classification Code: E62, H21,P51

Zakat Collectible in OIC Countries for Poverty Alleviation: A Primer on Empirical Estimation Salman Ahmed Shaikh
International Journal of Zakat Vol 1 No 1 (2016)
Publisher : Center of Strategic Studies (PUSKAS) BAZNAS

This study estimates potential Zakat collectible in 17 member countries of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). In our estimation, we found that the zakat to GDP ratio exceeds the poverty gap index to GDP (PGI-GDP) ratio in all but 3 countries, with poverty line defined at $1.25 a day. We also found that the zakat to GDP ratio exceeds the PGI-GDP ratio, except in 4 countries with poverty line defined at $2.00 a day. We also compared zakat to GDP ratio against poverty headcount ratio. According to our estimates, the Zakat to GDP ratio exceeds the poverty head count ratio to GDP (PHCR-GDP), except in 5 countries with poverty line defined at $1.25 a day. We also found that zakat to GDP ratio exceeds PHCR-GDP ratio except in 7 countries, with poverty line defined at $2.00 a day. Thus, the institution of Zakat has ample potential to contribute towards the alleviation of poverty. Lastly, we show that the aggregate resources pooled together from the potential Zakat collection in 17 OIC countries will be enough to fund resources for poverty alleviation in all 17 OIC countries combined. Keywords: Zakat, Fiscal Policy, Poverty, Redistribution

Had Kifayah Zakah and Adequacy of Income Redistribution: A Proposal Framework Bayu Taufiq Possumah
International Journal of Zakat Vol 1 No 1 (2016)
Publisher : Center of Strategic Studies (PUSKAS) BAZNAS

Social security systems traditionally serve a dual purpose: they maintain acquired living standards in the event of the materialization of social risks and combat poverty by guaranteeing adequate minimum income. In this paper we consider Zakat as an important mechanism that strengthens the economy of the entire society by providing Had kifayah as a way to redistribute income. Zakat is also a source of social security to the community, especially to those under inadequate living standards. Had Kifayah Zakat can work as a minimum standard to manage redistribution of income, thereby reducing poverty and balancing economic growth in our society. Keywords: Had Kifayah; Zakat; Social Security; Income redistribution; adequacy

Preparedness Response of Indonesian Tax Offices Concerning the Zakat as a Taxable-Income Deduction Dodik Siswantoro; Sri Nurhayati
International Journal of Zakat Vol 1 No 1 (2016)
Publisher : Center of Strategic Studies (PUSKAS) BAZNAS

This paper aims to analyze the preparedness response of tax offices on the issue of the zakat as a taxable-income deduction. Act No. 17/2000, at the top level, and Government regulation No. 60/2010 supports this policy in detail. However, many people do not claim restitution regarding this policy. This paper uses primary data gathered from phone interviews. Seven tax offices, including service centers, were interviewed in March 2012. The paper provides evidence that each tax office had different responses, provided less information, and acted unsupportive on the issue. In addition, the process of restitution for tax claims is difficult and unfavorable from the zakat payer’s perspective. New tax regulations must be supported by clear information socialization and efficient tax restitution process from tax the office. Otherwise, it would not be effective as the benefits may be smaller than the effort. Keywords: Zakat, tax office, response, Indonesia, preparedness

Philanthropy in Practice: Role of Zakat in the Realization of Justice and Economic Growth Bilal Ahmad Malik
International Journal of Zakat Vol 1 No 1 (2016)
Publisher : Center of Strategic Studies (PUSKAS) BAZNAS

The entire economic scheme developed under the guiding principles of Shari’ah (Islamic Law) envisages an internally balanced system of economy that neither accepts capitalism nor communism in totality. According to the laws, the realization of justice (a’dl) and wellbeing (falah), i.e., the means to seek blessings of God (fadhl al-Allah), determines its principal objectives (maqasid). Nevertheless, the economic structures adopted by the contemporary Muslim societies, in general, are incoherent with the economic philosophy of Islam. They are practically disconnected from the mechanics and efficiency of Islam’s equity instruments and philanthropic institutions. Consequently, as per Marx’s class conflict theory, economic inequality has spread its roots and traumatized the dynamics of participatory economics, distributive justice, and social equality. Factors such as non-inclusive economics, exploitation as a market principle, and concentration of wealth in few pockets have completely transformed Muslim economies into “capitalist” ones. After conducting critical researches vis-à-vis this paradigm shift in the Muslim world, highbrow Muslim intellectuals have reached to this point that alongside with interest-based means of financial intermediation, non-functionality of philanthropic institutions such zakat and baitulmal has practically divided the society into privileged and deprived classes. The economic advantage of “privileged class” over “deprived class” has become one of the major stumbling blocks in the way of achieving welfare and social justice. Under such vulnerable conditions, it is being argued that “reinstitutionalization” of zakat, both at civil society and state level, is the means to provide socio-economic insurance to those who are otherwise neglected. By facilitating the “constructive channelization” of wealth from “privileged class” to “deprived class”, institution of zakat has the potentiality to overcome the problems like relative deprivation, poverty, illiteracy, unemployment, and so on. In this context, giving of zakat must not be seen merely as a religious obligation; on the contrary, it must be examined in relation to its socio-economic effects. The present research is an attempt to answer the question regarding how reinstitutionalization of zakat can help in the minimization of poverty rate and promotion of socio-economic justice in contemporary “unbalanced” Muslim societies. Keywords: Islamic Economics, Zakat, Social Justice, Poverty, Economic Growth

Zakat as a Sustainable and Effective Strategy for Poverty Alleviation: from the Perspective of a Multi-Dimensional Analysis Nafiah Ariyani
International Journal of Zakat Vol 1 No 1 (2016)
Publisher : Center of Strategic Studies (PUSKAS) BAZNAS

Zakat is believed to be an alternative solution to overcome the problems of socioeconomic inequality and particularly poverty. Zakat has been widely practiced in the Islamic world for centuries; however, in order to measure the effectiveness of the system we need support of the empirical facts. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of poverty alleviation patterns based on zakat compared with the pattern of poverty alleviation efforts run by the government and the pattern of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), as well as the key determinant factors. Measurement of effectiveness is based on 30 attributes that include the dimensions of input, process and output. The study uses a multi-criteria decision analysis approach that is supported by the software Rappoverty. The findings show that the pattern of zakat-based poverty alleviation program performs better on all attributes compared to the pattern of other programs. The sensitive leverage factors that determine performance status consist of: the suitability of the program to the needs of the target communities, socialization and education, inter-agency coordination, consistency in the implementation of the rules, the existence of public institutions to carry out and support the program, improvement of welfare recipients, as well as an increase in the number of beneficiaries. The findings of this study indicate that the pattern of poverty reduction programs based on zakat can be a useful model for policy makers in developing effective poverty alleviation programs. Keywords: zakat, performance status, leverage factors
