Abstract

Purpose: This study explores how digital alms-giving serves as a transformative force in advancing financial inclusion within an increasingly digitized economy. Methodology: Through a systematic literature review, the research synthesizes global evidence showing that digital charitable platforms not only expand access to financial services for underserved populations but also enhance financial literacy, foster community resilience, and contribute to macroeconomic growth. Despite facing challenges such as digital inequality, trust issues, and regulatory gaps, digital alms-giving demonstrates high potential to bridge socio-economic disparities by integrating technology with culturally rooted philanthropic values. Findings: The findings offer strategic insights for policymakers, fintech innovators, and philanthropic institutions seeking inclusive financial solutions in line with sustainable development goals, and ultimately conclude that digital alms-giving can be a scalable and sustainable instrument for achieving equitable economic empowerment.

Abstract

Purpose: This research aims to identify the social and religious factors that influence the low understanding of the people of Gondangrejo Village towards zakat mal. Methodology: Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this study involved 30 informants and data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation. Findings: The results show that the habit of attending recitations that focus on zakat fitrah, limited social arena, and low education lead to the lack of understanding about zakat mal. Analysis using Pierre Bourdieu's theory highlights the influence of habitus, arena and capital in shaping this understanding. This study suggests reforming recitation materials, counseling on zakat mal by zakat institutions, and improving religious education to improve people's understanding of zakat mal.

Abstract

Purpose: This research aims to identify and analyze the practice of helping as a form of social alms in Tunggul Pawenang Village, Pringsewu. In this context, helping is not only about physical assistance, but also includes social, economic, and cultural aspects of the community. Methodology: The method used is a qualitative approach with interview, observation, and documentation techniques. Findings: The results show that despite significant economic differences among residents, the spirit of cooperation is maintained through contributions in the form of labor, goods, and money. Participation in social activities is influenced by an individual's economic capacity, with those who are better off contributing more in the form of materials, while those who are less well-off participate more actively in the form of labor and work. The role of the village head and community leaders is crucial in organizing and motivating the community to maintain the spirit of gotong royong. This research provides new insights into the importance of social roles in building community solidarity, especially in the face of existing social inequalities.

Abstract

Purpose: This study analyzes the role of the Nahdlatul Ulama Zakat, Infaq, and Shodaqoh Institution in managing infaq and shodaqoh to improve the welfare of the community in Telogorejo Village, East Lampung. Infaq is defined as the giving of wealth for Islamic social activities, while shodaqoh is voluntary giving without expectation of reward. LazisNU, as a NU philanthropic institution, focuses on collecting and distributing funds to alleviate poverty and support social justice. The purpose of this study is to understand the strategies for managing infaq and shodaqoh funds and their impact on rural communities. Methodology: The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collection through interviews, observation, and documentation studies. Findings: The results show that LazisNU Telogorejo Village, which was founded in 2022, has successfully collected funds through the coin NU program, which is a simple infaq box distributed to residents' homes and collected monthly. These funds were distributed for consumptive assistance, such as death benefits, health assistance, and support for the elderly, although productive distribution has not yet been achieved due to limited funds. Supervision and reporting were carried out transparently to maintain accountability.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the role of the Uswatun Hasanah Mosque Zakat Institution in improving the welfare of mustahiq in Pekon Pahayu Jaya, West Lampung Regency. Methodology: The study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. Findings: The results show that this institution runs three main programs, namely disaster relief, education, and social assistance, which have a direct impact on the lives of mustahiq. Although still limited in terms of reach, this institution has contributed to improving the economic conditions of the poor. However, zakat management still faces cultural challenges, namely the tendency of muzakki to distribute zakat directly without going through institutions. This study recommends the need for public education and increased institutional transparency to strengthen public trust in zakat institutions. These findings emphasize the importance of strengthening mosque-based zakat institutions in supporting community empowerment at the local level.

Abstract

Purpose: The digital era has brought profound transformations across various aspects of social life, including religious practices. This article aims to examine the role of religious leaders and social media influencers in promoting public participation in online infaq and shadaqah. Methodology: Employing a literature-based approach combined with qualitative analysis of relevant scholarly sources, this study identifies key strategies, challenges, and collaborative potentials between religious leaders and influencers in leveraging digital platforms for philanthropic purposes. The article underscores content engagement, transparency, and accessibility as key drivers of sustained participation in online donation platforms. Findings: The findings offer valuable insights for religious organizations and online donation platforms in designing effective strategies to enhance digital philanthropy in Indonesia. From a theoretical perspective, this article draws on Social Influence Theory to explain how the religious authority of clerics and the digital popularity of influencers function as agents of social influence in shaping public attitudes and donation behaviors. The main findings indicate that the internalization of digital philanthropic values occurs through a combination of normative authority, social identification, and symbolic persuasion mediated by digital platforms. This study enriches Islamic philanthropy scholarship by emphasizing social actors as key components of the digital donation ecosystem.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examines the practice of zakat fitrah distribution in Uman Agung Village at Nur Hidayah Mosque, with a particular focus on its conformity with Islamic sharia principles and accountability. Methodology: Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through field observations and a review of relevant literature on zakat fitrah. Findings: The findings reveal inaccuracies in the distribution process, whereby several recipients did not meet the criteria of mustahik as stipulated in Surah At-Tawbah verse 60, including widows and residents who are economically capable. These findings are analyzed using Sharia Compliance Theory and Islamic Accountability Theory, both of which emphasize the importance of accurate targeting, transparency, and responsibility in zakat management. This study underscores the necessity of providing education to zakat administrators and implementing a more rigorous verification system to ensure that zakat is distributed appropriately and in accordance with Islamic sharia principles.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyse the mechanism of internalizing religious values through the Friday Infaq program and its contribution to students’ character formation in Islamic primary schools (Madrasah Ibtidaiyah). Methodology: The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach, involving the principal, teachers, and students of MI Ma’arif 18 Trimurjo as research participants selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis, and subsequently analysed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Data credibility was ensured through source and technique triangulation. Findings: The findings indicate that the Friday Infaq program functions as an effective strategy of religious habituation in instilling values of sincerity, responsibility, empathy, and social awareness among students from an early age. The internalization of these values occurs through teachers’ role modelling, institutionalized routines, and active parental involvement. Theoretically, this study reinforces the perspective of character education grounded in experiential learning within the context of Islamic philanthropy, while also extending previous studies that have predominantly focused on secondary education levels. This research highlights that simple philanthropic practices, when implemented consistently, can serve as sustainable instruments for character education at the primary education level.
