Furthermore, social capabilities have a positive moderating effect on the effect of organisational capacity on organisational sustainability. The test results show that the moderation in this study is included in the type of quasi-moderation. Research Implications: The results imply that the organisational capacity and social capability of OPZs have an essential role in determining organisational sustainability, where the social capability of amil zakat agencies becomes a determinant to strengthening organisational capacity in supporting the sustainability of amil zakat agencies.

Aplikasi Konsep Religious Marketing dalam Praktek Komunikasi dan Dakwah Islam

The accelerated pace of technological advancement has facilitated the acquisition of information by a multitude of entities. Furthermore, it has altered the behavioural patterns of individuals, enabling the modern person to exercise greater autonomy in determining their own behavioural choices. This development necessitates that da'wah activists adopt innovative approaches to the dissemination of religious teachings. It is not within the power of religious leaders to impose their teachings on society. One such method is the utilisation of marketing concepts in the process of socialising religious teachings, which is commonly referred to as religious marketing. This study was conducted using the library research method with the objective of investigating the potential applications of marketing concepts in the context of da'wah activities. In practice, the marketing mix concept, as applied in commercial marketing activities, can be applied to activities aimed at socialising religious teachings. However, it is important to note that there are several key differences that must be taken into account when implementing the religious marketing concept in the context of promotional activities for religious teachings. One area in which the religious marketing concept is particularly prevalent is in the promotion of zakat funds. It is crucial for zakat fund management institutions to comprehend the tenets of religious marketing, as they must devise innovative strategies to attract donors and encourage them to entrust their zakat funds to these institutions.

HOW THE LEGAL STANDING OF AMIL ZAKAT TIBAN?

Purpose: The study was conducted to review the legal status of the formation of AZT, analyze the implications of the AZT for the implementation of zakat law in Indonesia, and discuss the contribution of the AzT in the zakat management process, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. Design/methodology/data analysis: This type of empirical law research combines normative law research by reviewing laws and related literary sources and empirical legal research conducted by field research on several mosques, schools, and Islamic hostel schools in Semarang City. Data is collected through FGD, documentation, observations, and interviews, then analyzed through improvement, description, and interpretation of data. Findings: The research results show that Amil Zakat Tiban's existence is considered valid if no UPZ (Baznas) or Amil Zakat institutions have had permission from the Office of the Ministry of Religion. Based on supplies, Amil Zakat Tiban is an ad hoc agency that collects and distributes the zakat and reports it transparently. Amil Zakat Tiban is implicit in implementing the Zakat law by providing ease for the community in paying the zakat and reducing the workload of BAZNAS and UPZ, which have flexibility of reach. Although the existence of Amil Zakat Tiban is controversial, he contributed to the management of zakat and its equal distribution to the society that did not get the attention of the Philanthropic Institution, especially to the people who suffered dismissal (PHK) at the time of the Covid-19 pandemic. Originality/value: This study fills gaps in research on zakat, especially studies on the existence of private religious institutions formed by communities with strong local wisdom values, let alone many areas that are not accessible by BAZNAS. Practical implications: The existence of Amil Zakat Tiban is very necessary for the community, both muzaki and mustahik in managing zakat funds, especially during the fasting month (Ramadhan) and Idhul Fitr. Even though its presence has not yet received legal legality, people still trust AZT in distributing their zakat funds.

An Analysis of the Effectiveness of Zakat, Infaq and Sadaqah Fund Management in a Large Mosque in Taipei

Taiwan is a country with a religious composition dominated by adherents of Buddhism, Taoist beliefs, Christianity, and practices of animism or other local beliefs, while adherents of Islam are 0.3% of the total population.

The research results prove that managing zakat funds, both fundraising and channeling funds for the Taipei Grand Mosque, does not carry out planning and coordination. Mosque management in collecting funds and distributing them is only passive waiting for muzaki to come to the mosque to pay zakat, infaq, and alms. Fundraising is done by opening an account at a bank and a charity box in front of the mosque. Muslim communities who are going to pay zakat, can do it by bank transfer or come directly to the mosque by handing over money in cash or putting it through a charity box. The distribution of zakat funds can also be carried out by transferring funds to a bank and distributing them in cash at the Taipei Great Mosque. Funds are distributed mainly to mustahik who are around the mosque. The distribution of zakat funds is carried out transparently, regardless of nationality, ethnicity, or race, as long as the Muslim Community is included in the eight a snap. Supervision or monitoring of fundraising is carried out by the internal management of the mosque, both routinely and specifically. The government conducts audits of incoming and outgoing funds so that every mosque in Taipei is required to submit financial reports to the government

Productive Zakat Empowerment Analysis In BAZNAS Institutions

The problem of this research leads to the distribution of productive zakat funds to mustahiq and human resources who do not yet understand both the community and BAZNAS of Ciamis Regency regarding this zakat. In its distribution, it has not been able to fulfill the objectives of productive zakat.After receiving assistance to the mustahiq. The purpose of channeling zakat funds is to increase the business of mustahiq and hope that these mustahiq will not always be mustahiq but will be able to become muzakki in the future. This type of research is a descriptive qualitative research, with the specification of field research. Descriptive qualitative research is writing that aims to describe the status of phenomena in a systematic and rational manner. Qualitative research methods in practice depend on the ability of the research, in explaining the phenomena studied in a descriptive form. This research was conducted at Baznas Ciamis Regency. The data obtained are from interviews with informants. The results of this study indicate that the distribution of productive zakat funds to increase mustahiq business in Ciamis Regency has not been running effectively, where there are several problems including the problem of human resources at BAZNAS which are few, mustahiq who do not understand the concept from productive zakat and lack of commitment when managing zakat funds, and the absence of a clear system resulting in less precise targeting in determining mustahiq and inaccurate distribution. The solution for solving this problem is where the informants agreed that BAZNAS should provide education and assistance to productive zakat mustahiq so that their businesses can develop, and make guidelines in the management of productive zakat both in determining mustahiq and its distribution
