Abstract
Zakat is part of an Islamic financial instrument which has one function to alleviate poverty. In general, the empowerment of zakat to mustahik is consumptive, zakat is given in the form of cash or basic necessities directly to zakat recipients or mustahik, however, consumptive zakat becomes ineffective in improving the welfare of mustahik in long-term or sustainable, because it only makes mustahik survive and will not encourage mustahik to try to get out of the poverty line.
 
 It is the empowerment of zakat in productive forms that is more effective in increasing the welfare of mustahik and can alleviate mustahik from the poverty zone. However, LAZISKAF must also be supported by supervisors and assistants by LAZISKAF in the field, so that zakat recipients are more enthusiastic in doing business. 
 
 Mustahik's welfare can be seen from several factors, namely business development, increased income, and has become a muzakki or the ability to give alms and donate after receiving zakat empowerment funds. Their livelihood is the mustahik, by applying this effort it is hoped that they will be able to fulfill their own life. The further goal is to make the mustahik zakat a muzakki zakat.
