Abstract

Social welfare can be achieved if high economic growth can reduce a country’s poverty, accompanied by a decrease in the value of gini coefficient. Zakat is one of the primary instruments of economic philanthropy in Muslim countries, faciliatating redistribution of wealth and income. Zakat potential in Indonesia has reached Rp 286 trillion, but the actual zakat collection only reached 3.7 trillion in 2015. This study aims to determine the following: (1) the forecasting of zakat collection in Indonesia based on the historical data for the next 5– 10 years or over time and (2) the system used by Muslim countries to collect zakat fund. This study used the multiplicative decomposition forecasting method with annually data collected over 2005-2015. The findings showed that zakat collection would be expected to reach about Rp 5.0 trillion in 2020. It is expected to increase to 8.33 trillion in 2029, with mean absolute percent error (MAPE) value as much as 0.18. Furthermore, there are different kinds of zakat systems used by Muslim countries. Indonesia uses the voluntary zakat system, which could affect the amount of zakat collection. The findings of this study are expected to inform policy makers regarding the management of zakat collection.

Abstract

This is basically a conceptual paper. It discusses and proposes the need of establishment of the so-called Professional Amil Zakat. The remarkable development of zakat in Muslim countries so far has to be appreciated highly. However, several things must be done, since the achievement is still far below the potential power available.Among many factors that contribute to the development of zakat is that the existence and the role of Amil Zakat. Needless to say, Zakat development will be hopeless without them. However, there is not much attention has been paid to them.The paper argues that the development of Amil Zakat will in turn enhance the successfulness of zakat practices in the future. A way to do so is by establishing the official professional body of Amil Zakat, locally, nationally, or globally. The establishment of such body is believed that it will enhance the professionalism, which finally supports the practices of Zakat.

Abstract

Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam hence it is attracting a lot of scholarly attention. However, most of the existing literature on Zakat are concentrated in Islamic countries like Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and others. There are also some researches in some advanced non-Islamic countries such as the USA and UK. In these countries, though the government does not operate Islamic laws, there are organized NGOs that take care of Islamic affairs including Zakat. However, there are many parts of the world where Muslims live under non-Islamic government and are not assisted by NGOs. In those areas, Muslims live and perform their religious obligations without any form of institutional support. There are limited number of research relating to Zakat in those areas. This study seeks to fill this gap by investigating the determinants of Zakat compliance in Kogi State of Nigeria. The study was conducted through qualitative interviews. Findings show that, the absence of governmental or institutional support results in ignorance, lack of organization and attitudinal problems. Recommendations were offered to assist Muslims in such areas. Keywords: Zakat compliance, Muslims in non-Islamic areas, Institutional support for Zakat

Abstract

In this paper, we explore the potential of the institution of Zakāt to meet the development challenges, especially in the Muslim world. We discuss the interlinkages between the institution of Zakāt and Maqasid-al-Shari’ah. We also discuss the economic potential and effects of Zakāt by reviewing theoretical and empirical studies. Finally, we also provide our analysis which suggests that Zakāt can play an important role in meeting sustainable development goals related to poverty, hunger, global health and well-being, quality education, decent work and economic growth and income inequality.

Abstract

This study attempts to analyze the effect of consumption and production-based zakat distribution programs in eradicating poverty and reducing income inequality of the zakat beneficiaries by using the modification of the Center of Islamic Business and Economic Studies (abbreviated as CIBEST) model, Deciles method, Gini coefficient and Atkinson index. It takes the case study of 1,309 zakat beneficiaries managed by the National Zakat Board of Indonesia (abbreviated as BAZNAS) in three different cities and regencies including Bogor, Depok and Sukabumi. It suggests that the present zakat distribution programs conducted by BAZNAS can significantly alleviate poverty and reduce income inequality among zakat beneficiaries. It is observed that one year after receiving zakat programs, production-based programs have higher increase of the material and spiritual condition (represented by falah index) by 300 percentage points while households who obtained consumption-based programs rise by only 20 percentage points. It is also found that the Gini coefficient decreases by 0.017 points while Atkinson index falls by 0.042 points indicating that the income inequality among observed zakat beneficiaries are improved. This study has substantiated the role of zakat for poverty alleviation and income inequality reduction that can benefit development in general.

Abstract

Indonesia as one of the largest maritime countries in the world that has enormous potential. The one of potential can be found at fishery resources reaching 6.4 million tons per year with the number of catch fisheries reaching more than USD 15 billion. Thus the total foreign exchange of marine and fishery reaches USD 71 million per year. But the facts, 83 percent of coastal communities are still living in poverty. To overcome these problems, it is necessary to optimize zakat, because in reality the implementation of zakat (in this case is marine zakat) is not optimal. This study is aimed to identify and develop the distribution model of marine zakat based on local people’s perception. In analyzing this research, the authors applied qualitative method through comparative study approach by using data collecting technique in the form of deep interviews. The object of this research is the people who live in Depok and Gunungkidul beach, Yogyakarta. Through this research, the authors hope the community can identify the development of the distribution model of marine zakat that can empower coastal communities and can motivate local people to be more productive and optimize the existence of this zakat.

Abstract

In the current literature, the study of the collective benefits of Zakat is more emphasized on the material economic aspects by using modern economic tools. Meanwhile, Zakat has a significant social role in the community. Therefore, Allah mentions in Qur'an the command of Zakat and prayer together as much as 22 times. It shows that the role of Zakat socially in human relationships with each other is comparable to the relationship with God. This paper will try to explore and analyze the social role (Social Psychology) of Zakat as an obligatory system from Sūrah al-Tawbah: 103. The method used in this paper is a qualitative method by using content analysis that combines tafsīr bi al-ra’yi with tafsīr bi al-ma’thūr. By using social tafsīr, it is found that Zakat should be an obligatory system and its management must be done centrally by the government. BAZNAS can be a representation of the government to perform the task. Then, it will result in the creation of equal degree and status between mustahiq and muzakki. Meanwhile, the implication of Zakat in the context of social interaction of the society is the creation of tranquility, security, and harmony for the whole society.

Abstract

This paper is aimed to assess the contribution of Zakat in boosting Islamic banks’ financing and economic growth for the period 2011-2015, in 10 district/city of West Java Province, Indonesia. Through Vector Autoregressive (VAR) panel co-integration analysis, variance decompositions (VD) and impulse response functions (IRF), this study investigates Zakat, Islamic Banking, and economic growth nexus. Findings in this research highlight that Zakat has a significant impact on Islamic banking, so this institution would contribute to economic growth both in the short and the long run, with fluctuation in variance from the first year. The results lend support to the view that Zakat not only leads to social benefits but also has a positive impact on the economy through increasing Islamic banks’ financing. Therefore, this research will serve as a motivation for the industry players and regulators to continuously promote Zakat as a strategic policy. The originality of this research is to assess Zakat-led growth and finance by analyzing the impact of Zakat on the Islamic banking and regional economic outcome. Another novel aspect of this study is in the methodology as it employs VAR panel co-integration analysis, VDs and IRFs on the set of annual data. Keywords: Zakat, Islamic Banking Financing, Economic Growth, West Java
