Membangun Zakat Sebagai Upaya Membangun Masyarakat
Abstract: This article aims to
analyze the right and contextual uses of zakat as social tools in contemporary
Muslim society in which poverty is a common phenomenon. Those who live in
poverty suffer many difficulties in improving the quality of their lives. The
need for proper education and healthcare decrease their capacity to consume.
This situation makes them unable to access more economic resources so that
their share of development becomes less. In such economic and social situation,
zakat is endorsed as stabilizer and balancer for people living in poor to
enable them survive and even sustain and gain strength to compete. For this
issue, zakat emerges with a bright future for people development and hence
requires a more professional management.
