Zakat administration reformation towards an effective and efficient zakat revenue generation

Abstract

Purpose This study aims to identify the inputs from zakat administrators and experts needed for more efficient and effective zakat revenue generation. Design/methodology/approach Face-to-face interviews with zakat executives, administrators and experts are conducted to collect data. Findings The findings show three components of input required in the zakat transformation: environment, resources and history. The environmental component comprises five sub-components: companies, banks, zakat recipients, individual zakat payers and the legislative, while the resource sub-components comprise tangible and intangible resources. For history, two components, namely, achievements and challenges, need to be taken into account by the zakat administration. Research limitations/implications This study’s main implication is that the components proposed in this study can serve as the basis for developing new strategies for improving zakat collection and distribution management to achieve a more efficient and effective level. Practical implications This study will be helpful for policymakers, especially zakat authorities, on how to enhance their administration. Originality/value The model developed in this study will help the zakat administration to reform and enhance zakat compliance and zakat revenue generation.

A systematic review of customer Sharia compliance behaviour in Islamic banks: determinants and behavioural intention

“…Consequently, understanding why Muslim communities select Sharia-based financial products and services through banks is vital to generate Sharia-compliant client behaviours (Bin-Nashwan et al , 2021). To ensure customer adherence to Sharia rules, it is essential to consider environmental factors, such as Islamic bank institutions, individual or institutional consumer attitudes and Islamic bank assets (Saad et al , 2023).…”

“…There is little evidence of study focusing on investigating Islamic bank customers’ that adherence to Sharia compliance.

Sadallah et al (2023) found that knowledge and political instability significantly affected businessmen’s zakat compliance, while service quality and trust had no significant effect on businessmen’s zakat compliance.…”

Digital Transformation Strategy For Non-Government Organization (Case Study: Inisiatif Zakat Indonesia)

“…A business model is viewed by organisation theory as an abstract depiction of the organisation's structure or design (Saad et al, 2023). The business model's functions are to comprehend the essential workings of an established organisation more thoroughly, to serve as a foundation for enhancing the present business operations and structure, to display a company's innovative structure, to test out a novel business idea, or to imitate or research a strategy employed by a rival firm (e.g., benchmarking on the model level), also to locate outsourcing possibilities.…”

“…The questionnaire was answered, and the average score is 71, which means that IZI in the Collaborators segment is based on Figure 2. The characteristics of collaborators are breaking down traditional silos; the strategy that needs to apply is to use digital to create a competitive advantage, and the top critical marketing priority over the next 12 months is to build digital awareness (Saad et al, 2023). To build digital into a competitive differentiator, Collaborators should: 1.…”

Digital zakat management, transparency in zakat reporting, and the zakat payroll system toward zakat management accountability and its implications on zakat growth acceleration

“…It involves using digital platforms, applications, and databases to facilitate Zakat transactions, enable efficient data management of Zakat recipients (mustahik), and enhance transparency in Zakat administration (Mutamimah et al, 2021). By leveraging technology, digital Zakat management aims to improve accessibility, accuracy, and efficiency in handling Zakat funds, ensuring they are promptly disbursed to the intended beneficiaries (Saad et al, 2023). Digital Zakat Management, Zakat Management Accountability, and Zakat Growth Acceleration are intertwined elements that collectively contribute to the success and impact of Zakat in society.…”
