Purpose This study aims to analyze the concept of Zakat as an instrument to increase the economy and poverty eradication in Indonesia. Design/methodology/approach This study used a qualitative method based on library research sourced from books, financial reports and another previous research. Findings The results show that the empowerment programs conducted by Zakat institutions in Indonesia are based on the scale of priorities and the potential of Mustahik. Zakat management considers the level of productivity and long-term impacts that improve Mustahik Economy. Thus, the empowerment programs lead to the reduction of Mustahik living below poverty line. Research limitations/implications This study contributes in two ways: first, it analyzes a model to identify the Mustahik’s potential for the Zakat institution in Indonesia. Second, it encourages the awareness of Muzakki and Mustahik regarding the role of Zakat in the Indonesian economy. This is expected to prompt their level of participation in optimizing the potential of Zakat in Indonesia. Originality/value Given the scarce literature that provide qualitative and critical reviews of the implementation Zakat empowerment programs to alleviate poverty conducted by the Zakat institutions in Indonesia, this research can act as a bridge for future research in performing empirical studies regarding the impact of a Zakat empowerment program on society.
Purpose – This study aims to determine the effect of attitudes, subjective norms, institutional zakat systems, and government support in influencing the interest of entrepreneurs in paying zakat. Methodology – There are 140 respondents in this research from 6 big cities in Java, such as Jakarta, Serang, Bandung, Semarang, Yogyakarta, and Surabaya. This research uses the Partial Least-Square-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) analysis technique with the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) model. Finding – The findings reveal that attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived zakat institutions affect entrepreneurs' interest in paying zakat. Meanwhile, perceived government support does not affect entrepreneurs to pay zakat.Implications – Zakat institutions need to regularly involve Muslim entrepreneur organizations in zakat management programs so that perceptions about zakat institutions and the role of government in improving zakat management can increase the motivation of entrepreneurs to pay zakat.Originality – There has been no previous research including perceived zakat institutions and perceived government support as variables influencing entrepreneurs' intention to pay zakat in Indonesia.
This research is intended to provide a comprehensive historical and present development of zakat literature through bibliometrics analysis extracted from Scopus database. From 522 articles related to zakat, the findings show that Universiti Utara Malaysia, IMEFM, and Saad, R. A. J have become the most institution, journal and author that published in zakah literature respectively. Moreover, the article from Haniffa, R; Hudaib (2007) is found to be the most cited article worldwide. While Malaysia has become the hub center of the research collaboration network with a strong collaboration with Indonesian researchers.
Islamic stock market has experienced massive growth globally, including in Indonesia. This study aims to investigate the predicting factors of the Indonesian Islamic stock market that presents by the stock price of the Jakarta Islamic Index (JII). Adopted the Augmented Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach, this study uses monthly data from January 2007 to February 2020. This study uses five macroeconomic variables, namely consumer price index, exchange rate, crude oil price, world gold price, and Dow Jones Islamic Index (DJIM), to determine the JII's stock price. As a result, the JII's price volatility is significantly driven by the macroeconomic variables simultaneously. Importantly, this study reports that world gold price and DJIM return to become the most crucial factors influencing the ' 'JII's stock price volatility in short and long-run investment periods. This study has passed robustness checks by conducting three out of sample periods, namely 25%, 50%, and 75% out of sample. The 75% and 50% out of sample data revealed an identical result. Thus, this study suggests that the investor evaluates the crude oil price and world gold price fluctuation to predict the price of JII. This study offers practical implications for policymakers and practitioners and recommendations for future research.
