Filantropi Islam yang dalam perkembangannya cukup dinamis munculnya lembaga sosial seperti lembaga amil zakat, lembaga wakaf, yayasan sosial, platform fundraising sosial dan sejenisnya, semua memiliki peran penting dalam mewujudkan masyarakat yang adil, makmur dan berdaya (Naisabur et al, 2023). Filantropi Islam dapat membantu meningkatkan kesejahteraan masyarakat, mengurangi kemiskinan, dan meningkatkan kualitas hidup masyarakat.…”
