Abstract

Introduction to The Problem: Zakat, a core Islamic practice, mandates Muslims to give to needy people. Indonesia's sizable Muslim population and Islamic financial institutions create substantial zakat potential. However, effective collection and distribution face hurdles, including a lack of understanding, trust, and optimal management. Legislation and education efforts aim to improve zakat management, with transparency and good governance crucial. Enhancing public awareness and accountability can unlock the full potential of zakat funds for social welfare.Purpose/Objective Study: This study aims to analyze the effect of Sharia compliance, Good Corporate Governance, and Amil Zakat competence on zakat management in North Sumatra Province.Design/Methodology/Approach: The population of this study is all Amil Zakat in North Sumatra Province, while the sample is all managers of the Institution of Zakat in North Sumatra Province which are under the auspices of the National Board of Zakat Republic of Indonesia (BAZNAS) of North Sumatra Province.

As well as amil competence also has a positive and significant influence on the management of zakat.
