Zakat institutions play an important role in managing zakat productively, with the aim that the funds collected can be distributed in an appropriate manner to achieve welfare and social justice. The purpose of this research is to analyze the productivity of zakat institutions in Indonesia using the Malmquist Productivity Index (MPI) method with the 2016-2020 research period. The research object used is 15 zakat institutions in Indonesia. The data from this study comes from the annual financial reports of each institution from the 2016-2020 period. The input variables used are total assets, operational costs, and employee costs. Meanwhile, the output variable used is the amount of collection and distribution of zakat. The results of the study show that in general, zakat institutions experience increased productivity over time. Zakat institutions originating from mass organizations have the highest average productivity compared to other organizations. If productivity is seen from year to year in each institution, the institution with optimal productivity in all years of observation is LAZ Al-Azhar.

This research aims to investigate how Zakat is disbursed to aid in disaster relief efforts and its role in humanitarian efforts during and after disasters, using the case study of the 2018 Lombok earthquake in Indonesia. Data for this study were collected through interviews with BAZNAS managers using a semi-structured interview method. The steps in analyzing interview data involved data coding, identifying themes or patterns, developing a narrative, and developing a theory. The main findings of the research indicate that the distribution of Zakat for disasters has sustained impacts on the environment, social aspects, and the economy of affected communities. It highlights the crucial role of Zakat in disaster mitigation for humanitarian purposes. The theoretical implications of these findings affirm the critical role of Zakat in disaster mitigation, an aspect that has not been fully explored in previous academic literature. These findings contribute to the development of Islamic social finance by highlighting the role of Zakat in disaster management and exploring its potential application in humanitarian efforts and disaster mitigation. The practical implications for the government include enhancing collaboration between BAZNAS and disaster relief agencies and improving public understanding of Zakat principles for humanitarian purposes and disaster mitigation.

This paper seeks to explore the potential of digital accounting and digital zakat in enhancing corporate sustainability. It primarily examines the role of these digital modalities in enhancing philanthropic contributions, improving financial transparency, and achieving sustainability goals. The study explores the synergistic effects of combining digital accounting and digital zakat, and aims to fill the knowledge gap regarding their collective impact on sustainable business practices. The results confirm the primary hypothesis and show a positive correlation with corporate sustainability. Consistent with previous research, digital zakat is identified as a catalyst for stakeholder engagement and a facilitator of sustainable development initiatives. Similarly, digital accounting is associated with increased financial transparency, thereby strengthening corporate sustainability efforts. These findings underscore the need for further exploration and integration into corporate strategies and highlight the prospects of digital technology in strengthening corporate sustainability. The study provides strategic recommendations for businesses, policymakers, and academics to promote sustainable practices and align financial systems with broader sustainability goals. This research is central to deepening the understanding of digital technologies' ability to enhance sustainability in business contexts, and future studies should extend these findings to examine the complex dynamics of how digital solutions can optimize sustainability in different sectors and settings.
