Indonesia's National Zakat Agency (Badan Amil Zakat Nasional, BAZNAS) is an official government agency that manages the zakat of Indonesian people. BAZNAS is tasked with collecting zakat, infaq, and shadaqah (ZIS) from the community and managing the redistribution of funds to recipients. Through digitalization, BAZNAS has made several breakthroughs towards improving their system management. This is in order to improve the performance of BAZNAS in terms of fundraising and distribution, which have a significant impact on BAZNAS' overall performance. This study aims to describe the transformation of BAZNAS in applying digital technology to management. The author conducted research on BAZNAS for two years, from 2019 to 2020, and found that BAZNAS succeeded in formulating its concept for digitalization even prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. As such, BAZNAS was able to quickly move its programs into the digital realm. Further digitalization is also ongoing at BAZNAS. As Indonesia is the country with the largest number of Muslims in the world, the success of BAZNAS as the national zakat institution in Indonesia can serve as a role model for Muslim communities around the world in ZIS management is a key part of the road towards prosperity in the Muslim world.
The rampant of bank plecit in Indonesia as the country with the most Muslim population in the world is an irony in itself, because Islam actually has a solution for every problem, including poverty alleviation. In the Islamic economy there are good loan terms, which are a solution to the usury economic system. Sources of funds can be taken from Islamic philanthropic funds managed by zakat institutions. Of the several financial assistance institutions based on socio-religious funds in Indonesia, BankZiska is among those that survive to manage. The purpose of this study is to analyze the implementation of qardhul hassan based on Islamic philanthropy funds at BankZiska. By using descriptive quantitative methods, this study describes the implementation of qardhul hassan using indicators of increasing the collection of philanthropic funds, increasing the distribution of funds to partners, increasing the number of transactions, and increasing the number of partners who are free from loan sharks which is about 65%.
