Abstract

This paper analyses the idea that zakat should go beyond being a mere charity to being a full-blown economy activity because of its important role as a tool of poverty alleviation among Muslims. This paper argues that this idea by A-Qaradawi is cogent and logical, thus, it presents ways in which Muslim Professionals could get involved and how zakat institutions can go about implementing this idea especially in this new era of digital economy. Using the method of qualitative research analysis, it analyses materials from the library on this idea, points out the lack of research on the Asnaf in the digital economy and explains how Muslim Professionals and Zakat Institutions can work together to help turn zakat into a full-blown economy activity through training centres that will provide Asnafs with the necessary knowledge and tools to navigate the digital economy.
