Abstract

All approaches to increase corporate zakat collection must be intensified by zakat institutions and supported by corporate company owners so that the annual corporate zakat collection target is achieved despite the challenges that zakat institutions have to go through. Various initiatives have been implemented by zakat institutions such as LZNK by introducing innovative corporate zakat collection promotion methods through the use of zakat logos for corporate companies in the state of Kedah. This effort not only demands the duty of the amil to collect corporate zakat from corporate companies, but it is also a human need for the property to guarantee the blessing of corporate companies in their business when paying Zakat. Thus, this article aims to discuss the concept of using the zakat logo in Kedah. This article will also examine the procedures for obtaining the zakat logo by corporate companies in Kedah. This qualitative study uses documentation, observation, and interview methods in the data collection process. The results of the study found that the use of the zakat logo on corporate companies can increase corporate zakat collection in addition to achieving the objective of zakat shari'a through property care in the aspect of maqasid shari’a. The study also found that only corporate companies that meet the specified conditions are eligible to get a zakat logo from the LZNK such as Muslims, zakat payers at LZNK according to the actual count, and others. It is hoped that this study can provide guidance and references to zakat institutions or certain organizations in managing affairs related to corporate zakat collection in facing the challenges of corporate zakat collection in Malaysia. Further research needs to be done to encourage the use of the zakat logo so that it can be applied by all states in Malaysia so that the corporate zakat collection rate can be optimized from time to time.
