During the pandemic, UMKM traders issued capital to sell but buyers were reduced. As a result they lack capital to resell. Many of them had to stop trading due to reduced buyers. This leads to a decrease in their income, even though they have a lot of needs. This is a problem for them. In order to help UMKM traders who have experienced a lack of capital during pandemic period, it is necessary to increase the capital of UMKM traders in the covid 19 pandemic through the empowerment of cash waqf. The research is normative juridical research. The data sources in this research is secondary data.The technique to collecting data is documentation study. Based on the research discovered that waqf has social functions that act as a means and capital for the improvement of the means of people. The increase in UMKM capital in the pandemic era can be done by providing assistance in the form of capital for UMKM traders, especially those who reduce their income as a result of the covid19 outbreak. With the help of capital through cash waqf it is hoped that UMKM traders can resell or can increase their capital. With waqf cash, then, UMKM traders will be helped and able to sell for the fulfillment of their family's life needs.

The paper explores the aesthetics and ethics of Islamic giving. The
ethnography focuses on the Mustadafin Foundation’s preparation,
cooking, and distribution of akhni (local meat and rice dish) to poor
families in various neighborhoods in the broader Cape Town area.
Mustadafin Foundation is an Islamic philanthropic organization
that provides a range of social services for Muslim and non-Muslim
people in Cape Town. The discussion unpacks how the ethics of
Mustadafin giving is an embodied piety toward God, driven by its
caring about the other, a sense of active citizenship, and social
commitment. The paper argues that the various ethical dispositions
toward God, others, and the social are mutually constitutive of
Mustadafin’s ethics of giving. Unfolding the ethics involved in the act
of Islamic giving offers insight into a synthesis of ethics. However,
paying attention to aesthetic experience alludes to a total sensory
experience of ethical formations. By foregrounding the question
of the ethics of Islamic giving, the paper considers the Mustadafin
Foundation as constitutive of a religious moral economy.

This article seeks to make sense of the rise of global religious philanthropy in relation to disaster. Global religious philanthropy refers to the transnational activities of religious organizations to respond to humanitarian crisis. These organizations can be faith-based initiatives or religious groups or denominations that have created humanitarian services for the specific purpose of relief and recovery in other countries. The first part spells out what we mean by the rise of global religious philanthropy in disaster response. It is not so much a shift as it is a rediscovery of the religious roots of humanitarian work. But at the same time, it is also a contemporary development that is part of the globalization of risk, humanitarian aid, and religion itself. The second part will explain the rise in two ways. First, faith-based and religious organizations hold what we describe as a global imaginary. In this imaginary, the world is in crisis and it offers an opportunity to demonstrate global compassion. Second, the rise of global religious philanthropy is also tied to the expansion of religious movements, some of which are in emerging economies. The expansion renders the religious field competitive. This is why, in a paradoxical manner, their humanitarian activities are also acts of strength and power that contend with the state and other players in the religious field.

One of the communities with rapid economic growth in the world, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), is also a heading in the international Halal trade arena. Its member states, namely Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Brunei Darussalam, and Thailand --the ASEAN-5-- are known as the driving forces of the worldwide Halal industry. For that reason, ASEAN can be a best practice in building a Halal-aware community and has a chance to be a locomotive as well in the Halal supply chain globally. Considering the encouragement towards sustainability and digitalization in embracing the Halal industry, thus, by using literature study, also combined with the netnography, this chapter presents an overview as follows: (1) The implementation of Halal industry in ASEAN-5; (2) Sustainable supply chain in Halal ASEAN-5; and (3) Digitalization in Halal ASEAN-5; by providing also several examples as case studies that have been implemented.

While the prevalent view of Islam, and specifically of Islamic charities, is that their influence flows from the Middle East to Southeast Asia, this paper examines transnational charity networks that flow in the opposite direction. It highlights the small flow of humanitarian assistance from Southeast Asia to the Middle East and the Southeast Asian-led charity network linking the two regions which is focused on exchanging ideas. The common view of Islam, and specifically of Islamic charities, is that their influence flows from the Middle East to Southeast Asia. This view is not only based on the historical legacy of the Middle East as the birthplace of Islam and source of Islamic authority, but also on the fortunes of the region, particularly the Gulf countries, which have made financial contributions to many parts of the world, including Southeast Asia. 1 Since the pre-modern era, the countries of the Middle East have forged transnational networks with Southeast Asia through Islamic charitable activities. Following other recent studies that look into the multidirectional influence of networks, 2 this paper seeks to uncover possible transnational charity networks that flow in the opposite direction in recent times, i.e., to explore whether there is something the Middle East might be able to gain from Southeast Asia, long regarded as being on the periphery of the Islamic world, both geographically and in regard to Islamic studies?

This qualitative research, using content analysis and phenomenology, investigates the efforts to eradicate riba, or usury, in Indonesia. The study focuses on BankZiska, an institution in Ponorogo City that provides financial assistance based on zakat, infaq, and religious social fund to create a usury-free society. The aim of this study is to examine the effectiveness of BankZiska's model in freeing people from moneylenders, specifically in providing financial assistance to poor and unbanked people while avoiding riba. The results indicate that BankZiska has been successful in providing financing to 1,049 partners or customers, and 30 percent of them have been freed from moneylenders. The implication of this study is that BankZiska's model could be an alternative solution for poverty alleviation while fighting against riba.

Islam gives references, beliefs, and ways of life so that human beings are able to overcome the problems in the world, and reach to everlasting happiness in the afterlife. Zakat is one aspect of Islamic teachings that potential to be an instrument of empowerment of the ummah and poverty alleviation, and become a symbol of harmonious relationships among human beings. The Birth of Act Number 23 Year 2011 on the Management of Zakat marks a new era of national zakat transformation that has spawned a new paradigm of zakat management in the country.

Fulfilling household needs for a woman is required to be able to obtain and manage halalsourced finances from a small and micro-entrepreneur. The trap of conventional and online loan sharks poses a significant risk to the borrower's assets due to the lack of business capital they have in the short term. This study aims to analyze micro waqf bank customers with small and micro-entrepreneurs to avoid entrapment by a loan shark. The study at the El-Manahij micro waqf bank, Lebak Regency, Banten Province, used qualitative descriptive types through data collection interviews with managers, supervisor and the head of Halmi group. In contrast, data analysis used triangulation, namely data reduction, data display, data verification and conclusion. Research shows that customers choose micro waqf banks to replace moneylenders providing their business capital and have regular activities in the form of weekly group meetings aimed at knowing business progress, religious studies and gradual loan repayments. Micro waqf bank managers receive pawned valuables with sharia contracts to increase business capital. The customers are responsible for repaying business loans in stages, running social gatherings for customers to obtain excess capital and supervising fellow customers. The research implication shows that getting away from the snares of loan sharks can minimize the burden on micro and small businesses where they live. The significant role of micro waqf banks in providing sharia pawn support is to increase business capital to limit dealing with loan sharks.

Sabah is a state of diverse ethnics and religions. Despite the multiracial and religious life, it is not a barrier for people in the state to work together in building a strong social institution. This can be seen from the establishment of a religious institution that is built especially in the capital city of Kota Kinabalu, where masjid, churches and temples are built just next to each other. However, towards the improvements of technologies in Malaysia, people have become very intellectual and have resorted in demanding for religious equalities.Hence, this research attempts to examine the foremost leading factors behind the refusals in the applications for masjid development, through analysing the planning process of the masjid in Malaysia. The objectives of this paper are-to identify the provision process of a masjid in the research area, to obtain the factors towards the contestation of a freestanding building, i.e., a masjid in the research area, and to recommend approaches for the provision of a masjid in areas where the majority are non-Muslims. This research uses a qualitative approach as the guide and method to obtain the required data, as well as interviews conducted with officers from JPBW, JHEAINS, JKK Penampang, Penampang District Council, Penampang District Office, and JK Masjid Waqaf Penampang. Accordingly, a thematic analysis is the method that will be used to analyse the data that are obtained. The result from the interviews will describe the prime factors towards the objection of the masjid development. Through the analysis, this research concludes by developing comprehensive guidelines, and reduce the Islamic architectural form in the construction of the masjid.

This chapter seeks to explore Indonesian Muslim women's philanthropic practices and their role in the public sphere. It considers the roles of Indonesian women in Islamic philanthropic organizations. It argues that there are differences between male and female practices of charity and volunteering, that issues of gender and women's empowerment are not mainstream among philanthropic organizations, and that private Islamic philanthropic organizations are more gender sensitive due to more professional management.

The concept of social justice philanthropy ideally has a strong foundation in Islamic teachings. However, research on Muslim communities in 2003 showed that this concept was still unknown, including in Indonesia. Even the term is new to use. Muslim charitable practices are mainly carried out in traditional way and do not support social justice purposes.

-----

Konsep filantropi keadilan sosial idealnya memiliki dasar yang kuat dalam ajaran Islam. Namun, penelitian terhadap masyarakat Muslim pada tahun 2003 menunjukkan bahwa konsep ini masih belum dikenal, termasuk di Indonesia. Bahkan istilahnya pun masih baru digunakan. Praktik-praktik amal umat Islam umumnya dilakukan secara tradisional dan tidak mendukung tujuan keadilan sosial.

Over the past two decades studying philanthropy, I have studied Islamic philanthropy and observed significant growth in this sector, not only in organizational activities and studies but also in the movement itself. The recent mini-summit held on 15-16 October 2022 on Muslim philanthropy emphasized the growth of the Islamic philanthropy movement and marked a more inclusive development by self-evaluating distinctiveness of Muslim philanthropy, global challenges, and what Muslim philanthropy organizations could contribute and achieve. Despite rising narratives on Islamophobia, terrorism, and the conservative-turn in numerous parts of the world, the Faith and Philanthropy Mini-Summit by Muslim Philanthropy was daring, not only in evaluating the movement in the past and the future, but also in reflecting on the relations among faith believers in philanthropy practices. The mini-summit showed awareness that the practice of philanthropy could be used to decrease religious conflicts. While religious solidarity could contribute to faith-based philanthropy as a "bonding" aspect, interfaith collaboration could balance the excess of this solidarity as a "bridging" aspect, as discussed by Putnam's social capital. In this way, philanthropy, or specifically faith-based philanthropy, can be used to decrease tension between religions and contribute to peace making. This mini-summit showed that there has been a transformation within the Muslim philanthropy movement, from individual short-term charity toward more professional, long-term development. The movement of philanthropy has also been enlarging into academic studies, conferences engaging or focusing on Muslim philanthropy being held at the local, national, and international levels. There is a high awareness that investment in this sector is crucial for the development of the Muslim community and the world at large. Lastly, participants and discussions in the mini-summit showed that there is diversity within Muslim philanthropy itself, in the terms of practitioners, understanding and practices of Islamic teachings (such as whether zakat could be distributed beyond one's area and toward other believers), and strategies. Within this diversity, there is a strong commitment to synergy and collaboration, including with other faith groups, with awareness as humankind, and therefore supporting the "Human Family Fund." This civil society initiative is highly invaluable in a world where religious phobias, extremism, and lack of collaboration still exist.

The purpose of this paper is to find out how important the role of amil zakat in the amil zakat al washaliyah institution is. This study uses an approach based on library research. Management of zakat by the government includes the withdrawal of zakat (muzakki), collecting, registering, organizing, and finally distributing it to the rightful party. During the pandemic, the MSME community really needs the role of amil in the welfare of life. Amil Zakat must be creative, persistent, and honest, supported by government work and the right strategy so that zakat income will be higher.

Poverty is one of the most hotly debated subjects in international development. It is also discussed in all economic development and governmental policymaking. Every country in the world adopts poverty alleviation strategies since poverty has negatively impacted economic growth. Despite this global trend, Sri Lanka has its own unique strategies that sets it apart. The Samurdhi is one of the key schemes to reduce poverty in society regardless of faith or ethnicity in Sri Lanka. Notably, Muslims in Sri Lanka benefit from Samurdhi and Zakat programmes, which play a major role in poverty reduction, especially among the Muslim community. Based on this background, this study aims to analyse the performance of both Zakat and Samurdhi schemes in poverty alleviation among the Muslim community in the study area. This study is based on a qualitative research paradigm and employs both primary and secondary data. Primary data were collected through the unstructured interviews conducted with the coordinators, animators, and beneficiaries of both programmes. All interview scripts were analysed using the Thematic Content Analysis (TCA) method. The study concluded with the argument that both schemes (Samurdhi and Zakat) immensely contributed to poverty alleviation in the study area, especially among the Muslim community. However, the Samurdhi scheme was more effective than the zakat programme during the study period (2019-2022) as the Samurdhi scheme was implemented with the support of the government, and the government annually allocates funds separately. Apart from this, no government funds were allocated for properly implementing the zakat programme via the zakat foundations. It is noteworthy that the zakat system has been functioning by donations from wealthy Muslims. Meanwhile, the zakat scheme was effectively implemented in certain areas of Akkaraipattu. However, comparatively, the zakat scheme was not implemented effectively among beneficiaries in the whole study area.

The serious impact of Covid-19 also occurred in the economic sector, while economic activities did not run as it should so that the community could not work and could not meet their daily needs. This should not be directly about the amount of poverty in Indonesia. Zakat as an Islamic financial instrument is not only intended to fulfill the necessities of mustahik life, but can be used as an instrument in economic development. The purpose of this choice is to discuss the role of zakat institutions in economic problems caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. This study uses qualitative methods with a research format or descriptive research. The results of the study stated that the Zakat Institution (BAZNAS) proposes to be a media and a means of distributing assistance to the Covid-19 affected communities through socio-economic emergency programs whose distribution is right on target. BAZNAS has focused the distribution of zakat funds into two programs that are urgently needed by the communit...

Zakat was a rather interesting discussion by economists in developing social islamic financial institutions. This is not a part of zakat's role in the past that really felt good in the era of Rasulullah, Khulafaur Rasyidin and up to Umar bin Abdul Aziz.

In the intricate relationship between state and citizen in the world's largest Muslim country, Muslim philanthropic ideals of promoting the well-being of the community (ummah) are in turn contested.
