THE ZAKAT CONCEPT AND PEOPLE EMPOWERMENT IN SUKABUMI REGENCY WEST JAVA PROVINCE

The purpose of this research is for the concept of Islamic law on the legal certainty of zakat, the distribution of zakat, the management of zakat, the empowerment of zakat, the prospect of distribution, management, and zakat empowerment for poverty alleviation and expansion of employment opportunities in Sukabumi Regency. The method of this research is normative juridical research method. This research is not only descriptive (describing what is real), but also prescriptive (determining what it should be). Thus, this study was approached with a doctrinal approach, based on legal doctrines related to legal cases in the land sector. The result of this research is that legal certainty refers to the imposition of a clear, consistent, and consequent law whose implementation cannot be influenced by subjective circumstances. The social field of humanity has a greater percentage of zakat distribution than the economic field. To manage and empower the zakat, it is necessary to have a special institution which then known as 'the amil zakat', that is the person or legal entity appointed to work professionally so that the collection and distribution of zakat can run properly and maximally to 8 asnaf (the rightful person receive), they are: fakir, poor, amil zakat, muallaf, servant sahaya (riqab), gharimin, fi sabilillah, and ibn sabil. By realizing if it meets the principles of Islamic value and synergistic with skill in institutional management. The effort to bring about justice in the law is a dynamic process that takes a lot of time. By paying attention to the condition of the people who are left behind, in terms of economy, education and culture, to demonstrate the meaning of fisabilillah as one of the mustahiq zakat, a broader understanding is needed to be given the right of zakat to this group. Thus, this socialization should be able to convince the public that the more appropriate with the guidance of sharia is to submit zakat to the amil institution, and not directly to mustahik.

Zakat for Economic Empowerment (Analyzing the Models, Strategy and Implications of Zakat Productive Program in Baitul Mal Aceh and Baznas Indonesia)

IQTISHADIA, 2018

Sustainable wellbeing is one of the goals of zakat distribution whereby the poor (<em>mustahiq</em>) are not only able to survive by having the basic needs fulfilled, but also are able to work and fulfill his needs and his family independently. The <em>mustahiq </em>independency is important to solve the problem of inequalities in society, marginalization, unemployemnt and poverty. This can only be achieved if zakat is able to used as a means for economic empowerment of the poor that would increase their capacity and enable them to become enterpreneur and hence able to fulfil their needs by themselves. This article attempts to observe various zakat productive programs initiated by zakat institutions in Indonesia and also analyze their implications in empowering the poors and increase their level of wellbeing. The case study in this paper is Baitul Mal Aceh and Baznas Indonesia.

Philanthropy in Practice: Role of Zakat in the Realization of Justice and Economic Growth

The entire economic scheme developed under the guiding principles of Shari'ah (Islamic Law) envisages an internally balanced system of economy that neither accepts capitalism nor communism in totality. According to the laws, the realization of justice (a'dl) and wellbeing (falah), i.e., the means to seek blessings of God (fadhl al-Allah), determines its principal objectives (maqasid). Nevertheless, the economic structures adopted by the contemporary Muslim societies, in general, are incoherent with the economic philosophy of Islam. They are practically disconnected from the mechanics and efficiency of Islam's equity instruments and philanthropic institutions. Consequently, as per Marx's class conflict theory, economic inequality has spread its roots and traumatized the dynamics of participatory economics, distributive justice, and social equality. Factors such as non-inclusive economics, exploitation as a market principle, and concentration of wealth in few pockets have completely transformed Muslim economies into " capitalist " ones. After conducting critical researches vis-à-vis this paradigm shift in the Muslim world, highbrow Muslim intellectuals have reached to this point that alongside with interest-based means of financial intermediation, non-functionality of philanthropic institutions such zakat and baitulmal has practically divided the society into privileged and deprived classes. The economic advantage of " privileged class " over " deprived class " has become one of the major stumbling blocks in the way of achieving welfare and social justice. Under such vulnerable conditions, it is being argued that " reinstitutionalization " of zakat, both at civil society and state level, is the means to provide socioeconomic insurance to those who are otherwise neglected. By facilitating the " constructive channelization " of wealth from " privileged class " to " deprived class " , institution of zakat has the potentiality to overcome the problems like relative deprivation, poverty, illiteracy, unemployment, and so on. In this context, giving of zakat must not be seen merely as a religious obligation; on the contrary, it must be examined in relation to its socioeconomic effects. The present research is an attempt to answer the question regarding how reinstitutionalization of zakat can help in the minimization of poverty rate and promotion of socioeconomic justice in contemporary " unbalanced " Muslim societies.
