Zakat is one of the five pillars of the Islamic faith, which is an obligatory form of "charity", and every Muslim is expected to contribute. The use of zakat is not only to purify property but to purify the hearts of zakat payers from selfishness and wealth greed. Although it is part of Muslims obligation to pay zakat, the amount collected recorded is still lower and not optimal. The issue on zakat business payment is not often debated particularly on how to increase the number of business zakat payer. This is because zakat on wealth is more than total zakat on the business.

Analyzing Zakat as a Social Finance Instrument to Help Achieve the Sustainable Development Goals in Kedah

Zakat is a religious obligation that must be complied with by all eligible Muslims. Therefore, it plays a significant role as an Islamic social finance instrument that could finance specific programs to achieve social, political, and economic development among Muslim communities. This study aims to analyze the impact of zakat distribution in achieving sustainable development goals in the state of Kedah, given the constraint faced by the Kedah State Zakat Board.

A Conceptual Model of Zakat Payers' Trust in a Zakat Institution in Kelantan

Zakat institutions are obliged to collect zakat from every eligible Muslim because their existence manages the institution by distributing the wealth from the wealthy Muslims to zakat asnafs. However, the zakat institutions still fail to ensure that every one of zakat payers will comply with paying through the institutions. Zakat payers' trust affects their zakat compliance behavior (Mustafa et al., 2013). According to research done by Faizal and Ramli (2017), compliance behavior is one factor that influences the act of tax compliance. This finding supports the prior studies by Kastlunger et al. (2013), who say that high trust causes the increase in tax compliance. The same case goes with paying zakat. Zakat payers' trust is essential in ensuring zakat payers pay zakat through the formal channels. According to Ahmad, Wahid, and Mohamad (2006), zakat payers' dissatisfaction towards zakat distribution practices by zakat institutions leads them to pay zakat directly to asnafs. Thus, this proves that lack of trust by zakat payers can increase the self-distribution practice and leakage in zakat collection. According to a report by Populus (2018), donors are most likely to donate their money to support causes by charities if charities are good at managing funds and demonstrate impacts for their causes. Otherwise, they will lose trust in those charities. As in this study, the main focus to study zakat payers' trust is to reduce the increase in self-distribution practice and gradually lead to maximize the zakat collection in the future. Based on that reason, this study determines which factors should be focused on to increase zakat payers' trust. The proposed factors in this study are disclosure practices, council board, and stakeholder management practices. Thus, the paper aims to develop a conceptual model of zakat payers' trust in a zakat institution in Kelantan. Keywords: Council board; Disclosure practices; Stakeholder management practices; Zakat payers' trust.

Exploring the Impact of Attitude, Religiosity, Moral Obligation, Self-Efficacy and Subjective Norm on the Compliance Behavior of Income Zakat

Despite a religious decree on the compulsory position of zakat on employment income in Malaysia, many Muslims still fail to fulfill their religious obligation to pay. Although there has been an increasing trend in the collection of business zakat, paddy zakat, and income zakat, there were some Muslims in Kedah who have not paid zakat to Kedah State Zakat Board (KSZB) so much so that the present increase in the collection of zakat is still not sufficient for distribution to all zakat recipients because of the increasing number of zakat asnaf. There is a rising trend in the collection of zakat. Yet, it is still insufficient to cover all zakat recipients, reflecting the efficiency (or the lack) of the Kedah State Zakat Board (KSZB) management. Studies on zakat compliance have shown mixed and inconclusive evidence regarding the determinants of income zakat compliance. Therefore, this study explores the impact of attitude, religiosity, moral obligation, self-efficacy, and subjective norm on the compliance behavior of income zakat in Kedah. This study employs the quantitative approach where this study collects primary data using questionnaires to determine significant determinants of compliance behavior of income zakat. This study reveals that attitude, religiosity, moral obligations, and self-efficacy are significant determinants of compliance behavior of income zakat in Kedah. However, this study finds that subjective norm does not significantly influence the compliance behavior of income zakat in Kedah. This study hopes to provide evidence that could be used as guidance for suitable policy and measures by Kedah State Zakat Board to improve zakat collection in the future.
