Abstract

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted by the United Nations (UN) on 25 September 2015. It consists of 17 interconnected goals intended to be achieved over the next 8 years (2030). Most of the goals are present in Bangladesh and goal number two “end hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture” is one of them. However, the current progress scenario towards achieving SDG 2 in the country is unsatisfactory due to some obstacles. As the world's third largest Muslim country, Zakat has huge potential as a source of revenue in Bangladesh. Undoubtedly, Zakat is one of the most important tools of Islamic finance that can play a vital role in alleviating hunger in the country. The study aims to identify the challenges faced by Bangladesh to acquire goal number 2 of SDG and particularly analyse the impact of zakat on improving the food safety status in the country which will facilitate the path towards achieving SDG 2 – Zero Hunger. This study is expected to contribute primarily to the government and zakat management institutions of Bangladesh to optimize the feasibility and utilization of the zakat mechanism. Keywords: Challenges, SDGs, Zero Hunger, Food Certainty, Bangladesh, Zakat.

Findings of this study indicates the issues and challenges were (1) there are limited promotions conducted by MUIB to educate the public regarding the payments of zakāt; (2) Limited number of staff; (3) The lack of using technology.

However, the findings also indicate there were several initiatives to tackle the issues and challenges. This paper highlights the need to promote and educate the public to increase awareness on Zakāt al-Māl payments and to utilise technology to enhance the management of zakāt especially in the collection of Zakāt al-Māl.

Abstract

Zakat is one of the duties that a Muslim must do. As a country with the largest Muslim population, Zakat potential in Indonesia reaches 327 T (trillion) every year. Seeing the enormous potential, this research will examine Zakat distribution through human development, unemployment, and poverty in Indonesia between 2011-2021. However, unfortunately, Indonesia's total collection of Zakat in 2021 only reached around 517,2 billion. With a total of 44 samples, the data were processed using Vector Auto-Regressive (VAR) with Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) estimation. In the short term, based on data processing results, Zakat's distribution does not affect human development, unemployment, and poverty. Nevertheless, in the long term, it is known that the distribution of Zakat affects human development, unemployment, and poverty. The results of this research are expected to be evaluation material for the government, Zakat management institutions, and Muslim society to pay more attention to the urgency of Zakat on human development, unemployment, and poverty.
