Abstract

The term zakah in the al-Qur’ān shows two meanings, obligatory zakah and zakah sunnah. Both are part of (collective) social assets, both in terms of collection and management. Compulsory assets are the third pillar of Islam, every Muslim must carry out the number of assets that have reached the minimum limit for tithing. The potential for zakah in Indonesia reaches Rp. 217 trillion, meanwhile, the fact that zakah collection has only reached Rp. 8.1 trillion, or only 3.7%. To optimize wealth collection, approaches are needed; first, the regulatory approach to zakah management laws, second, the technological approach, and third, the human resource approach. Because the nature of zakah is not only charitable but as an obligation for muzakki and a right for mustahiq, investing in productive endeavors for activities that have many benefits is a necessity. Investing in zakah assets is permissible, as long as there is a guarantee from the government and under Islamic religious rules. By optimizing the collection of zakah, the goal of zakah will be achieved, namely to purify the soul (muzakki) and fulfill the needs (mustahiq). Will grow, develop by investing in productive enterprises for social security, foster a sense of compassion between the rich and the poor. Fulfillment of basic needs; food, clothing, housing, education, and health.
