Tue, 28 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This study aims to explore the significance of zakat in reducing poverty and economic inequality in Indonesia. As one of the key instruments in the Islamic economic system, zakat holds great potential to foster social justice through the redistribution of wealth from the affluent to those in need. In a country like Indonesia, where the majority of the population is Muslim, optimizing zakat plays a crucial role in supporting inclusive economic development. This research employs a literature review method by analyzing various academic sources and secondary data related to zakat management, implementation challenges, and optimization strategies. The findings indicate that zakat serves not only as consumptive aid to fulfill basic needs but can also be directed toward productive uses to empower the economy of the mustahik through training programs, business capital, and sustainable support. However, to maximize its effectiveness, zakat requires professional, transparent, and accountable management, along with strong collaboration between zakat institutions, the government, and society. In the long term, zakat can be a strategic and sustainable solution to address social inequality and significantly reduce poverty levels in Indonesia.

This study discusses the practice of land leasing using the ijarah contract implemented by farmers in Mundurejo Village, Umbulsari District, Jember Regency. An interesting phenomenon in this research is that farmers lease vacant land to plant orange trees, which requires a relatively long period since orange trees take 2 to 3 years to begin producing fruit. The purpose of this study is to understand how the land leasing system is applied in Mundurejo Village and to examine its compliance with Islamic legal perspectives. This research uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data were collected through direct observation, interviews with parties involved in the leasing activities, and documentation of the leasing agreements used. The results show that the practice of land leasing in Mundurejo Village aligns with the principles of the ijarah contract in Islam. Farmers and landowners carry out written agreements that clearly state the object of the lease, the duration, the amount of ujrah (rental price), and terms related to land management. From the perspective of Islamic law, this practice is considered valid as it fulfills the pillars and conditions of ijarah and is based on fairness and mutual consent between the parties.

This study aims to analyze the strategic programs for empowering mustahik (zakat recipients) implemented by the National Zakat Board (BAZNAS) in supporting the economic growth of the Muslim community. Economic empowerment through productive zakat is considered one of the alternative solutions in efforts to alleviate poverty and enhance the economic independence of mustahik. This research adopts a descriptive qualitative approach using the library research method, which involves collecting data from various sources such as books, scientific journals, and relevant documents. The findings indicate that the strategies implemented by BAZNAS include problem identification and mapping of mustahik, the creation of business opportunities through capital assistance to Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), the development of productive enterprises, and the establishment of networks among small entrepreneurs. These strategies have proven effective in gradually improving the standard of living of mustahik, enabling them to achieve economic self-sufficiency. With a structured and sustainable implementation, the program significantly contributes to the economic growth of the Muslim community and facilitates the transformation of mustahik into muzakki (zakat givers).

This study aims to analyze the optimization of the management of zakat funds in poverty alleviation in the integrated zakat village in Sumbersalak Village, Ledokombo District, Jember Regency. Effective management of zakat funds and in accordance with sharia principles is expected to be a strategic solution in reducing poverty rates through a community empowerment approach. The method used in this study is descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results showed that the management of zakat in integrated zakat villages included aspects of planning, distributing and empowering mustahik productively. Programs such as skills training, business capital assistance, and economic assistance have a positive impact on improving the welfare of the community. Nevertheless, there are still obstacles such as limited funds, human resources, and program evaluations that have not been optimal. By strengthening institutions, synergy between parties, and sustainable supervision, zakat management can be more optimal and contribute significantly in poverty alleviation.

Zakat is a vital instrument in the Islamic economic system, aimed at promoting social justice and reducing economic inequality. In regions with high poverty rates, productive zakat serves as an alternative strategy to help mustahik (zakat recipients) achieve sustainable economic improvement. The National Amil Zakat Agency (BAZNAS) of Situbondo Regency actively implements productive zakat through various community economic empowerment programs. This study aims to examine (1) how productive zakat is implemented by BAZNAS Situbondo to improve the economic conditions of mustahik and (2) the supporting and inhibiting factors affecting its effectiveness as a poverty alleviation instrument. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, with data collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Informants included BAZNAS managers and mustahik who received productive zakat. Data analysis involved data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that productive zakat positively impacts mustahik’s economic conditions, including increased income, improved business independence, and reduced reliance on social assistance. Programs such as small business capital assistance and skills training are essential components of the economic empowerment strategy. Supporting factors include the commitment of BAZNAS managers, active community participation, and collaboration with other institutions. Inhibiting factors comprise limited zakat funds, insufficient continuous assistance, and low financial literacy among mustahik. In conclusion, productive zakat is an effective instrument for poverty alleviation when managed in a targeted and sustainable manner, with active involvement from all relevant stakeholders. The program demonstrates that zakat, when combined with guidance and empowerment strategies, can foster long-term economic resilience among recipients.
