Research paper thumbnail of Digitalization of Zakat in Stimulating Community Socio-Economic Development in the Middle of the Covid-19 Pandemic (Maqashid Syariah Perspective)

The Islamic finance sector can solve these problems because, in principle, Islamic economics aims to achieve public welfare. Zakat, infaq, alms and waqf is one form of activity in Islamic economics, which is part of the form of compulsory worship and advice from Allah SWT. Previous studies have stated that the management and distribution of zakat, from direct assistance to community empowerment assistance, is effective in helping improve the community's social and economic welfare. Applying zakat with the community's principles and returning to the community can encourage economic equity, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic, like today, where many people's economic activities are hampered. The digital zakat system is a breakthrough to increase the effectiveness of the management and distribution of zakat to the community. The digitization of zakat also makes it easier for the community to distribute zakat obligations. Coordination from various parties, such as the government, zakat institutions and academics, is needed in developing the zakat digitization system to achieve maximum results. With the application of Maqashid Syariah in managing digital zakat, it is hoped that zakat can be right on target in meeting human needs.

The effects of hydrothermal influences on the distributions of temperature and moisture, evolution of the bulk strain and migration of nuclides are simulated and analysed, and the coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical governing equations determined by the author are presented. The results show that the saturation in the buffer layer gradually rises to 0.96 from the initial value of 0.5 after approximately 450 years, and increases slowly in the initial stage of the simulation. The nuclide concentration in the solidified body first increases and then decreases, reaching a maximum of 173.05 mol/m3 in approximately 110 years. Moreover, most of the radionuclides are released by buffer layer adsorption and the adsorbed concentration is almost 100 times the solute concentration. In addition, the calculation also shows that the ...

Quantitative descriptive approach is used in order to describe MFIs. Specifically, the difference between MFIs in each area will be overviewed by using statistical instruments of testing for a difference between means and independent F-test. On the other hand, descriptive qualitative approach is used to review the social interactions of female clients. The results of this research have uncovered some facts. First, however, Difference-Between-Two-Means Test has revealed that no significant difference is found. This shows that the empowering aspect that has been done by MFIs conforms with the standard. Second, the fact that no significant difference is found in the empowering process has been backed by data that reveals relatively small loans scale, similarity in business models, unvaried necessity, relatively small expenditure and living cost, low access to education, and good accessibility to MFIs. Third, business models that are desirable by female clients have these characteristics: only requiring a minimum amount of capital; durable; fast-moving; focusing more on costumers; adaptable; contributing to the society's economy; flexible; having a set amount of freedom.
