Inovasi Digital Dalam Pengelolaan Zakat Berbasis Inklusi Sosial Untuk Pemberdayaan Mustahik Yang Berkelanjutan

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of digital innovation in zakat management based on social inclusion and its contribution to the sustainability of mustahik empowerment. Digitalization enhances the effectiveness of zakat collection, distribution, data management, and reporting through systems that are more transparent, accountable, and accessible. Using a qualitative literature-based approach, this study reveals that digital innovations—such as zakat applications, mustahik big data systems, UMKM marketplaces, and digital literacy training—play a significant role in strengthening three sustainability indicators for mustahik empowerment: stable income, business independence, and digital literacy. Furthermore, digitalization acts as a connecting element between social inclusion and sustainable empowerment by creating an adaptive, efficient, and participatory empowerment ecosystem. The findings confirm that digital innovation is not merely an administrative tool but a strategic instrument for shaping sustainable mustahik empowerment.
