The Key Theories of Zakat Management In Indonesia

The Key Theories of Zakat Management in Indonesia presents a comprehensive theoretical foundation for understanding the management, governance, collection, and distribution of zakat within the Indonesian context. The book examines zakat not only as a religious obligation but also as an instrument for reducing poverty, addressing economic inequality, strengthening social solidarity, and promoting material and spiritual welfare. It discusses major theoretical perspectives, including the Resource-Based View, Islamic welfare or al-falah, religiosity, ashabiyah, government role theory, stewardship theory, stakeholder theory, resource dependence theory, trust theory, and theories of reasoned action and planned behavior. Particular attention is given to the role of government, good corporate governance, public trust, digital technology, and the behavior of muzzaki in supporting official zakat institutions. By connecting Islamic principles with contemporary governance and management theories, the book offers practical and scholarly insights for improving transparency, accountability, institutional performance, and public confidence in zakat administration. It is intended for students, researchers, policymakers, zakat administrators, nonprofit leaders, and readers interested in Islamic economics and social welfare.
