- About
In an era of global economic volatility and widening wealth gaps, Zakat has emerged as a multi-billion-dollar pillar of public finance. However, its potential is often stifled by fragmented administration. This book arrives at a critical juncture where digital transformation and fiscal integration are no longer optional but necessary for institutional survival. While existing literature focuses on the theology of Zakat, this work addresses the mechanics: bridging the gap between Shariah principles and modern public governance.
The topic is currently at the forefront of Islamic economics, particularly as Muslim-majority countries seek to align religious obligations with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and national "Vision" economic frameworks. This book fills a critical gap by providing a holistic governance blueprint that bridges theory and practice.
This work serves as a governance manual for practitioners and a theoretical foundation for academics. It meets the urgent need for a standardized approach to Zakat management that satisfies both divine mandate and modern auditing standards.
Emerald Studies in Islamic Economy and Finance is dedicated to advancing the knowledge and understanding of Islamic economics and finance. In an era where the global economic landscape is constantly evolving this series seeks to contribute significantly to the academic discourse surrounding Islamic economy and finance building on the rich heritage of Islamic economic thought while embracing contemporary perspectives and challenges.
