Muslims who can pay zakat are required to give at least 2.5 per cent of their wealth. The problem of poverty prevalent in disadvantaged regions because of the difficulty of access to information and communication led to a gap that is so high in wealth and resources.

This study aims to examine the role of zakat to alleviate humanitarian issues in disadvantaged regions such as Sijunjung, one of zakat beneficiaries and impoverished areas in Indonesia. The researcher attempted a Cibest method to capture the impact of zakat beneficiaries before and after becoming a member of Zakat Community Development (ZCD) Program in material and spiritual value. The overall analysis shows that zakat has a positive impact on disadvantaged regions development and enhance the quality of life of the community. There is an improvement in the average of mustahik household incomes after becoming a member of ZCD Program.

Therefore, zakat is one of the instruments to change the status of disadvantaged areas to be equivalent to other areas. 2019-04-16T07:57:52Z 2019-04-16T07:57:52Z 2018-06 Article http://ddms.usim.edu.my:80/jspui/handle/123456789/18098 en Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia
