Abstract

This study addresses the absence of structured Shariah audit mechanisms in zakat institutions, particularly in the operational aspects of zakat distribution. Hence, the objective of the study is to develop Shariah audit criteria grounded in authoritative references such as fatwas, governance manuals, and Islamic finance standards. Adopting a qualitative document analysis approach guided by the Logical Framework model, this study systematically translates key Shariah principles into practical audit criteria. The findings aim to enhance Shariah assurance, improve institutional accountability, and support more consistent zakat governance practices across decentralized systems. This study presents the development of Shariah audit criteria for zakat distribution by integrating documentary sources such as fatwas, governance standards, and institutional SOPs with practical operational considerations. Key findings include a structured set of audit criteria rooted in principles such as comprehensiveness, prioritisation, and data completeness, which were translated into actionable audit tools. The study also identifies critical enablers such as trained personnel, dedicated Shariah committees, and supportive digital systems that are necessary for effective Shariah auditing. Discussions highlight three key governance gaps: the lack of structured Shariah oversight mechanisms, limited legal institutionalisation of Shariah functions, and insufficient stakeholder competency. The study calls for the establishment of a formal Shariah governance framework, aligned with national enactments and supported by a Shariah Audit Competency Framework. Overall, this research contributes to institutionalising Shariah auditing as both a compliance and strategic governance tool in zakat management, fostering transparency, accountability, and public trust in line with the maqasid of zakat.

Abstract

This study examines selected chapters of Bayan Wujub Al-Hijra `ala’l-`Ibad of Shaykh Uthman Bn Fuduye and its teachings to the contemporary Muslim Ummah. The book articulates important religious and social principles on the necessity of Hijra (migration) in the pursuit of an equitable Islamic society. This study summarizes some important chapters in the book, describing their teachings and relevance to the contemporary Muslim Ummah. Through a critical reading of Shaykh Uthman Bn Fuduye discussions in Bayan Wujub Al-Hijra particularly the last five chapters, this study examines how the concept of Hijra its history and spiritual relevance in the life of the Ummah as it rejuvenate social justice and communal integrity during modern times. It also examines the applicability of these teachings to modern challenges that face Muslim societies, including matters of identity, migration, and socio-political engagement. By situating Shaykh Uthman Bn Fuduye discourses in the present socio-political realities, this paper demonstrates the enduring currency of his call for social reform and the creation of a unified Muslim identity. The study shows that Bayan Wujub Al-Hijra can yield timely lessons for Muslims today who want to address the issues of modernity without betraying their religious creed. Finally, this study seeks to enhance a greater understanding of the interplays among classical Islamic thought and contemporary realities to encourage the revival of the spiritual and communal traits reflected in Shaykh Uthman Ibn Fuduye's work.
