INTRODUCTION
Zakat is the obligatory almsgiving in Islam and constitutes one of the five pillars
of Islamic worship, the giving away of a percentage of funds cleanses one’s wealth
annually (Schaeublin, 2014). The recipient poor identified in Islam and categorized
zakat beneficiaries; it cannot be given to anyone. In addition, Zakat has been widely
described as a public finance instrument or a fiscal tool (Irkhami, 2019), as a tool of
Mustafida, Kurnia, Fauziah, Subri, Faiz,
income distribution (A. Kasri, 2016) and a development tool to alleviate the poverty
(Johari et al., 2014).
As one of the interesting instruments of Islamic social finance, Zakat has shown
its supportive development in many Muslim countries and impact on humanity. It has
done this by institutionalization of zakat to be spent for social good of society. In many
Muslim countries there are institutions responsible for the collection and
redistribution of Zakat. This pool of fund if collected efficiently and managed securely
has successfully been used for offering social service in communities and societies.
Zakat institutions is an integral part of the Islamic socio-economic system. It has a
major impact in complementing the government’s poverty eradication effort concern
on the poor and the needy Muslim. Further, the effectiveness in carrying out the
duties, zakat institutions would depend on several factors: expansion of new resources
for zakat, the collection of tangible and intangible assets, well-managed zakat assets,
the efficient distribution and the thoroughness of implementation of Islamic rules
(Rahman et al., 2012). As mentioned by Kahf, Zakat in OIC countries could contribute
from 1.8% up to 4.34% in their GDP (Firdaus et al., 2012). Besides, according to the
data given by SESRIC (2018), zakat which predicted to be valued at USD 2 trillion in
2015, is expected to increase up to USD 3 trillion in 2020 to reach more people
especially for those who in need.
In Indonesia, zakat collection practice has been conducted and managed by
Indonesian Zakat Board (Indonesian: Badan Amil Zakat Nasional, abbreviated:
BAZNAS). It is responsible to collect and distribute zakat, infaq, and alms (ZIS) at the
national level. Moreover, according to the Law Number 23 of 2011 specifically
mandates the Baznas as the primary executor in zakat management in Indonesia, and
the government acts as an advisor and supervisor towards the zakat management
conducted by Baznas (Puskas Baznas, 2019).
Meanwhile, in Malaysia zakat collection has been conducted under the
jurisdiction of the respective state by its leader or Sultan. It divided into some
institutions regarding with its states. As illustrations, Pusat Pungutan Zakat Wilayah
Persekutuan (1991), Lembaga Zakat Selangor (1994), Pusat Urus Zakat Pulau Pinang
(1994), Pusat Kutipan Zakat Pahang (1995), Pusat Zakat Negeri Sembilan (1998), and
Pusat Zakat Melaka (2001) (Rahman et al., 2012).
In Indonesia, zakat has the potential to be developed economically. This has
been proven by the past decade, Zakat has experienced rapid development to help the
society, particularly on education sector and Muslims’ Welfare (Puskas Baznas, 2018).
In 2018, the estimated potential collection of zakat was accounted for Rp 233 trillion
or 3% of the GDP, but the total collected amount was only reached about Rp 8,2 trillion
or 3,4% of its potential. It is interesting to note that, among all the provinces in
Indonesia, DKI Jakarta is the highest contributor of Zakat, Infaq, and Shodaqoh (ZIS)
collection (Puskas Baznas, 2017). Apart from that, in Malaysia, Lembaga Zakat
Selangor (LZS) has successfully collected the highest amount of Zakat from 2015 until
2019 with the total amount over 600 million Ringgit per year (JAWHAR, 2019).
Not with standing of the potential of zakat in these two countries, however,
there are some issues in zakat institutions. A study by (A. Kasri, 2016) mentioned that
zakat institution still lack of poor performance and lack of appropriate assessment
methods to measure their own performance. Besides, as mentioned by Muharman et
al. (2011) in Malaysia, zakat institution is still lack on zakat distribution management
process. It does not have a good performance compare with their zakat collection
performance which increase significantly in every year. This view is supported by Ab
Rahman et al. (2012), mentioned that zakat distribution in Malaysia did not reach the
asnaf or targeted recipient due to the lack of publicity by the authority as well as
because of lack of knowledge of the society.
On the other hand, Maqashid Sharia or Sharia purposes has been used by the
Muslim scholars to propose Islamic reform and revival in many aspects of live and to
address many society’s problems in line with the Islamic principles. Traditional
classification of maqashid are necessities (Darurat), needs (Hajiyat), and luxuries
(tahsiniyat). Further, necessities will be divided into preserving of faith, soul, wealth,
mind and offspring (Kholish & Roy, 2020). As part of Islamic social finance, Zakat
collection and distribution should in line with the Islamic principles of social justice or
maqashid ShariaSharia in order to uplift the quality of ummah and to achieve the
objectives (Maqashid) of Sharia. Maqashid Sharia emphasizes on human well-being
from spiritual, physiological, intellectual and economic perspectives.
As the highest zakat contributors in Indonesia and Malaysia in last three years,
this study compares Lembaga Zakat Selangor and BAZIS DKI Jakarta. This study aims to
analyze institutional program of collecting zakat in reaching Maqashid Sharia and also
to identify the issues over the program conducted by LZS and BAZIS DKI institutions.
This paper is organized as follows. Section 1 offers introduction with background of the
study, problem statement, and research objectives. In section 2, there are some
literatures review of previous research regarding with the Zakat Institution in Malaysia
and Indonesia. Section 3 put the brief explanation of the research method that used
by the study. After that, discusses the finding of the research in section 4 and followed
by section 5 that wraps conclusion as well as recommendation.

LITERATURE REVIEW
Poverty
Poverty has existed as long as mankind itself. Various effort was done to
properly define the word “poverty”, be it numerically or theoretically. Despite the
divergent in clarifying the universal phenomenon, one typical conclusion can be made:
Poverty is a complicated issue. In simple “in a nutshell” definition, poverty is lacking.
Those who live in poverty are determined using the international poverty line which
stand at 1.90$ per day according to the The World Bank (2015). This means, anybody
who lives on 1.90$ or less per day is consider poor. Despite 1.90$ being used worldwide
to dictate on poverty, there is no one indicator for all (Government of New Brunswick,
2019). Cost of living in certain place has to be taken into consideration. 1.90$ in
Malaysia is different from 1.90$ in Indonesia.
However, poverty is more than just lack of income. It is an intricate and
manifold problem. United Nations (2018) reiterate that while insufficient of income is
normally associated with the word “poverty”, it goes beyond that. Numerous branch
of complications can be discovered with “poverty” as the root of it all such as lack of
education, exclusion from healthcare service others.
In Islam, poverty is treated as multifaceted issue. The word “Faqeer” is used in
the Holy Quran to describe a poor person. It is the inability of an individual to fulfill
their basic human requirements (Johari et al., 2014) which entails the 5 pillars of
Maqasid ShariaSharia; 1) Protection of religion, 2) Protection of life, 3) The search of
knowledge, 4) Protection of family and 5) Collection of wealth (Albadry,2016; Nazri et
al., 2012). On top of that, poverty is treated as an anomaly issue by the religion and it
is proven by the many ‘Ahadith’ where the Prophet Peace Be Upon Him seeks
protection from it (Albadry, 2016).

also emphasis the need of ijtihad to minimize the gap between Islamic theory and the
contemporary reality.
facilitate eight group (asnaf) to acquire halal income because one of Zakat goal is to
distribute wealth and property.
The old scholars such as Al Ghazali in Chapra (2008)define Maqasid Sharia as
objective behind Sharia and that is to promote the safeguarding if five pillars which are
safeguarding of faith, human self, intellect, posterity and wealth. Al- Shatibi’s opinion
regarding this issue is in line with Al-Ghazali but he further listed the five pillars under
the essential objectives not in exigencies nor embellishments. Other modern scholar
in the extension period extend the definition and interpretation of Maqasid Sharia into
a slightly wider expression which is found in Auda (2008).
For measuring the performance of the institution, he suggested using the
Ghazilian and Shatibian interpretation of Maqasid Sharia due to its simplicity and
comprehensiveness especially when applied to a small scope of people. At the end of
his paper, he hoped that his suggestion of using a new KPI to Zakat institution will be
used in the future.
Regrettably, no effort has been done to implement this approach as a new KPI
to any institution in Malaysia or Indonesia. Thus, we are trying to take the first step in
applying this approach to two Zakat institutions located in Malaysia and Indonesia. The
more comprehensive the distribution program is to fulfill the five objectives of
Maqasid Sharia, the better the performance of that specific Zakat institution is.
RESEARCH METHOD
This paper is conducted by adopting one of the qualitative methods which is a
case study approach. While this particular method has been criticized by many
throughout the years, its advantages are undeniable. This method is widely recognized
in research especially in social science where in-depth explanation regarding certain
phenomenon is required as it allows inspection in detail of intricate issues (Zainal,
2007). A case study according to Yin (1984) is “an empirical inquiry that investigates a
contemporary phenomenon within its real-life context; when the boundaries between
phenomenon and context are not evident; and in which multiple sources of evidence
are used”. When a quantitative method using numbers usually provides concerns
about its limitation in bringing forth a holistic explanation of social problems, the case
study approach goes beyond the statistical result (Zainal, 2007). One of the advantages
of this method is allowing the exploration and understanding of the real-life
environment by interpreting real-life data which may not be attainable using
experimental or survey research. For that particular reason, the authors decided to
adopt the case study approach in completing the paper.
The study conducted involved two Zakat institutions in two different countries;
Lembaga Zakat Selangor in Malaysia and Badan Amil Zakat Infaq and Sadaqah in
Indonesia. In acquiring the data, we primarily used the library research method as a
process to analyze the existing data and compare it from both institutions. Data from
2015 until 2017 was collected from the annual report and the official website from the
323
Mustafida, Kurnia, Fauziah, Subri, Faiz,
two institutions and proceed to be analyzed using Microsoft Excel 2019 version. The
authors then compared the data by using the Maqasid Sharia approach to accomplish
and attain the objective of this paper and developed the conclusion about the
distribution programs between both institutions. The finding of the data will be shown
in the findings section.
Zakat assortment in each area of Indonesia has different sums. In 2016, DKI
Jakarta is the biggest Zakat, Infaq, and Shodaqoh (ZIS) donor in Indonesia which has
gathered 130.98 billion Rupiah, trailed by West Java, West Sumatera, Riau, and East
Java (Outlook Zakat Indonesia 2017, 2016). Zakat in DKI Jakarta was overseen by BAZIS
DKI Jakarta as a non-basic zakat organization claimed by the public authority of DKI
Jakarta Province. This establishment has disseminated zakat to 13,936 fakir and miskin
family, and furthermore to 20,647 mustahik from different classifications (mualaf,
gharimin, ibnusabil, fii sabilillah) during 2017. In most recent three years, Zakat
assortment of BAZIS DKI Jakarta has expanded essentially. BAZIS DKI Jakarta gathered
80.6 billion Rupiah in 2015, 85.8 billion Rupiah in 2016, and 144.4 billion Rupiah in 2017
(Figure 1). This reality shows that DKI Jakarta has positive pattern in gathering and
conveying zakat for late years.
BAZIS DKI Jakarta Allocation is directed by Governor Regulation No. 30/2017.
This zakat organization disperses ZIS assortment dependent on The Prosperous Jakarta
program (Indonesia:Jakarta Sejahtera), which comprises of five principle programs, for
example devoted Jakarta (Jakarta Bertaqwa), Smart Jakarta (Jakarta Cerdas),
Independent Jakarta (Jakarta Mandiri), Attentive Jakarta (Jakarta Peduli), and Zakat
Aware (Jakarta Sadar Zakat).

establishment accommodates the asnaf, explicitly the Sabilillah and Muallaf. BAZIS DKI
Jakarta conveys their 23.17 % of zakat assortment (in 2017) to the operational guide
of syiar Islam exercises, the operational guide for Muallaf exercises, Ulama recovery
grant, profound instructing and strict exercises, Qari and Qari'ah training program, and
great guide. These projects are remembered for "Jakarta Bertaqwa" as the primary
program of strict area strengthening.
In protection of life, BAZIS DKI Jakarta circulates their zakat assortment through
13 projects from 2015 until 2017. These projects expect to improve the personal
satisfaction of the asnaf, particularly for the Sabilillah, Fakir, Miskin, Gharimin, and
Ibnusabil. The individual guide for Quran educators, Mosque cleaners, Muazin, Imam,
Madrasah's privileged instructors, and TPA/TKA/TPQ instructors are under "Jakarta
Bertaqwa" as the primary program. Then, the circulation of individual guide for
vagrants, dhuafa (counting clinical costs, survivors of cataclysmic events and
humankind issues, expired travelers, Gharimin, Ibnusabil, clinical costs, and facilitating
the weight of lives) are remembered for "Jakarta Peduli" as the primary program of
social area strengthening.
BAZIS DKI Jakarta additionally disperses their zakat assortment for educational
program of their destitute residents. To accomplish the assurance of acumen, this
zakat board has 6 projects in 2015. At that point, it expanded to be 8 projects in 2016.
In 2017, a portion of the projects in instructive concerns were blended, in this way
diminishing it into 4 projects. The projects are including grants, organization
foundation, school charges overdue debts help, and instructive guide for exceptional
examination. BAZIS DKI Jakarta gave grant program to senior secondary school
penniless understudies in 2016, however since 2017 they don't give it any longer. This
is because of the worry of any abused awards since DKI Jakarta government issues
Kartu Jakarta Pintar (KJP) which is additionally an instructive guide for the secondary
school understudies. Notwithstanding, this zakat establishment actually works this
program for college understudies from miskin families in 2017 (BAZIS DKI Jakarta 2016
Report, 2017). These projects are remembered for "Jakarta Cerdas' which intends to
help the asnaf improving nature of instruction.
In 2015 ─ 2017, the most noteworthy zakat appropriation of BAZIS DKI Jakarta
is in safeguarding of life. It is adding up to 41.4 billion Rupiah in 2015, 47 billion Rupiah
in 2016, and 53.8 billion Rupiah in 2017. In those 3 years, conservation of life spends
over half of their zakat assortment. This reality shows that the fundamental focal point
of BAZIS DKI Jakarta is still on agreeing the essential requirements of the asnaf. Other
than the assurance of life, BAZIS DKI Jakarta likewise has solid expectation in
supporting different pieces of maqashid Sharia, for example, protection of confidence
and keenness. In 2015 and 2016, conservation of confidence spends around 16% of
their zakat assortment. In contrast to the earlier years, safeguarding of confidence
spends more in 2017 which is adding up to 23.17% of their zakat assortment, in this
way making it as the second greatest bit in zakat conveyance financial plan in that year.

Two purposes of maqashid Sharia which are not covered by BAZIS DKI Jakarta
zakat conveyance programs are maqashid al-Mal (abundance) and maqashid an-Nasl
(genealogy). As a matter of fact, BAZIS DKI Jakarta has a primary program to safeguard
abundance called "Jakarta Mandiri" which comprises of abilities preparing programs
and hibah for the mustahik. This program focusing on the jobless dhuafa which
expected to be autonomous and turning out to be muzakki. Aptitudes preparing
involves cullinary craftsmanship preparing, car repairman preparing, PDA
administration preparing, and mustahik checking programs. In the interim, hibah is
given to the mustahik as capital guide for their business (BAZIS DKI Jakarta 2015
Report, 2016). All things considered, those projects are excluded from this examination
on the grounds that the establishment doesn't utilize any zakat however infaq
assortment in working the projects.
Hifdzu an-nasl is one of fundamental focuses in maqashid Sharia. However,
shockingly, BAZIS DKI Jakarta doesn't have any program with respect to this point until
2017. In another side, as indicated by Health Profile of DKI Jakarta (2017), the measure
of baby mortality in Jakarta during 2017 is 938 cases. It shows that there is an
expansion from the earlier year which has 677 cases. Moreover, in excess of 400
perished kids in a day in Indonesia are from helpless families and most underestimated
(UNICEF Indonesia, 2013). Hence, more consideration and greater endeavors are
required in taking care of labor issues in DKI Jakarta. Afterward, zakat as the Islamic
social asset fundamentally can help these issues by improving the nature of medical
care offices and giving labor help, particularly for the penniless families. Hence, the
protection of heredity as a component of maqashid Sharia can be accomplished.

Lembaga Zakat Selangor has distributed Zakat funds to 45,471 fakir and miskin
families, as well as to 349 people in other asnaf categories in 2017. There has been
increases in zakat funds collected by the institution in 2015 to 2017 (Figure 2). In 2017,
the growth of zakat funds collected is 12.37 percent which shows a good indication to
the institution’s management.
LZS has implemented 67 zakat distribution programs in 2017. Based on maqasid
al-ShariaSharia, most of these programs have a direct impact on hifdz Ad-Din or
preservation of faith, amounting to 27 programs. LZS has distributed zakat funds to the
mustahik in the form of assistance to build religious institutions, mosques, and
religious education classes. The preservation can be encouraging the practice of
religion, calling to it, showing it, providing facilities for proper spiritual development
and hindering any means which aims to debilitating the religion (Lamido, 2017).
To preserve life of the asnaf, LZS has 22 programs such as monthly assistance,
home rental assistance and emergency help. Based on this maqasid, zakat funds are
distributed to meet asnaf’s fundamental need like food and home. To guarantee the
preservation of humans’ lives, Islam orders all the adherents to consume only halal
and thayyib food. Besides, LZS has 11 projects to achieve the protection of ‘aql or
intellect. The projects are including scholarship, establishment of educational
institution and provision of school needs. Intellect is important to be escalated through
providing education and other incentives that can make the educational system more
effective. Furthermore, intoxicants and any superstitious believes should be avoided
since they can hinder its proper functioning (Lamido, 2017).
LZS has noticed hifdz An-Nasb or preservation of lineage as well by offering a
program which is wedding assistance project for the asnaf. Meanwhile, there are nine
programs have been conducted to preserve the wealth. All the programs aim to
increase interest of doing business as well as to develop businesses owned the asnaf
through skill training and capital assistance. LZS provided hardware or equipment or
capital to let the asnaf start or develop their businesses.

LZS in 2016 had the most projects added up to 32 on hifdzu ad-din and the least
program is just one on hifdzu an-nasl. Distinctive with LZS, BAZIS DKI had the most
projects on hifdzu nafs in the measure of 11 projects while hifdzu ad-din has just four
projects (Figure 5). Also, on planning, LZS grouped the most elevated sum 51.03% to
protection of life and the least is hifdzu an nasl. BAZIS DKI conveyed the most
noteworthy spending plan to hifdzu nafs at 56.54% and the least allotment is hifdzu
ad-din added up to 16.51% (Figure 6).
333
Mustafida, Kurnia, Fauziah, Subri, Faiz,
The most recent year 2017, the most projects of LZS were 27 to hifdzu ad-din
and like two years prior, the least program was one to hifdzu an-nasl. At the very year,
BAZIS DKI had the most noteworthy projects on hifdzu an-nafs added up to ten and the
least on hifdzu al-aql add up to four (Figure 7). Besides, on planning, LZS disseminated
45.61% of their absolute spending plan to conservation of life and 0.01% to hifdzu ad-
din. Like LZS, BAZIS DKI designated the most elevated financial plan 66.53% to hifdzu
an-nafs and the least 16.26% to hifdzul al aql (Figure 8).
By and large, in most recent three years, both organization LZS and BAZIS DKI
zeroed in on zakat circulation for conservation life and confidence. In most recent
three years, protection of genealogy turns into the least spending plan in zakat
dispersion by LZS while BAZIS DKI didn't have any program to encourage it though this
safeguarding is likewise significant on the grounds that it is identified with the people
in the future. LZS likewise have a few projects in protection of riches while BAZIS DKI
doesn't have by any means. It is on the grounds that neediness pace of Indonesia is
higher than Malaysia. It should be a consideration for BAZIS DKI to meet all aspects of
maqashid ShariaSharia in compiling zakat distribution program. It is because five
aspects of maqashid ShariaSharia become a basic need for every people.
for the poor to get married. This study also suggested funding the birth of needy people
to encourage the birth among Muslims.
Zakat takes significant function to destitution allevation, so the proficiency of
Zakat foundation in circulation should be need. Protection of heredity and abundance
should be worried for both zakat foundations. Conservation of heredity may have
other imaginative projects, for example, labor help. Protection of abundance, for
example, capital guide is a key to urge the poor to build their way of life. Henceforth,
zakat organizations should utilize maqashid viewpoint to survey their presentation.
Zakat appropriation technique is as yet centered around the periodical type of
move installment which can't explain the neediness issue in the Islamic culture. The
current idea of appropriation must be invigorated with new methodologies that are
equipped for delivering more business people among asnaf to be free and ready to
help themselves and their families to carry on with better lives. The drawn out
objective of this venture is to deliver and raise serious Muslim business visionaries.
Capital guide of Zakat that is appropriated to the asnaf who meet certain measures
would be utilized to begin or to proceed with their business (Rosbi & Sanep, 2010).
Capital is simply given to asnaf who are as of now prepared and go through a
cycle from business viewpoint to upgrade asnaf dominance from hypothesis and
commonsense parts of the business world. A gathering of asnaf who are applied capital
help ought to have the bookkeeping aptitudes, business arranging, stock
administration, etc. This is for guaranteeing them to have flawlessness of reasoning
and high eagerness to settle family. Helping the needy individuals by straightforwardly
giving them an amount of cash to purchase their necessities, is in reality just a transient
arrangement (Ab Rahman et al., 2012).
The issues that emerge is whether the focal point of Zakat organization was
convey Zakat in term of capital help to the asnaf who is submitted, qualified and having
the standards to be a business person (Ramli et al., 2011). Checking should be done
effectively by the organization of Zakat in the wake of circulating the capital help to
the asnaf. Checking structure, for example, occasional visits for in any event once like
clockwork, account reviewing, counsel, capital infusion, month to month report should
be made to guarantee that the business attempted by asnaf truly help them as far as
pay and make them to be Zakat payer (Ramli et al., 2011).
The lack of awareness of zakat among the Muslim needs to be address as well.
Therefore, the government need to take a step forward to make zakat as a compulsory
topic inside the Islamic studies especially in school in an attractive way and approach.
This initiative is to spread and wide the awareness about the important of zakat, its
impact and at the same time the wisdom lies behind the command of zakat.
Furthermore, organizing sharing sessions, webinar, seminar and conferences can be
one of the initiatives to increase the awareness among Muslims to fulfil their religious
obligations especially for those in rural and remote areas who have least access to join.

CONCLUSION
Zakat can be very vital in promoting and maintaining economic development
and growth and at the same time encouraging better financial inclusion. In fact, the
development of the zakat system can be seen as an initiative program to alleviate
poverty and an alternative right of the less fortunate people upon the fortunate people
in Islam. If this system is conducted properly and effectively based on the Sharia, it can
create better social welfare among the Muslim society. BAZIS DKI Jakarta achieved only
three aspects of the Maqasid Sharia while LZS achieved all of it comprehensively.
Therefore, it is seen that the system needs some improvements and innovation
programs to achieve the objectives of the Sharia.
Due to the nature of the research approach adopted, the small number of
subjects which are only two Zakat bodies contribute very little to none in scientific
generalization. Furthermore, this paper's dependency on these two institutions
becomes the limitation to make a general conclusion regarding Zakat distribution
activity as a whole. Further study and research have to be done to establish Maqasid
Sharia as a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) to not only Zakat institution but to be used
widely in any industry.
