“…For instance, in Indonesia, according to Rachmawati et al (2022), LAZIS MU and LAZIS NU have raised fund IDR 308 Billion (USD 21.28 million) and IDR 113 billion (USD 7.6 million), where these gallons of the fund is benefited for pandemic handling programs.

This study aims to analyze the performance of Islamic philanthropic institution during the COVID-19 pandemic (2020–2021) by using a balanced scorecard approach. The balanced scorecard assesses a company or institution based on four perspectives: finance, customer, internal business, and growth and learning. For internal business and growth and learning performance perspectives, data were taken from interviews, and the annual report of the institution was taken for a finance perspective. For customer perspectives, the study used a questionnaire distributed to 100 respondents who are regular donors to philanthropic institution. They play an essential role because regardless of the economic conditions that occur, they are still obliged to donate as a form of the obligation of a rich Muslim to pay zakat. The results showed that the customer perspective had the highest value in its performance results compared to the other three perspectives. Islamic philanthropic institution has a high orientation to customers where customer satisfaction is prioritized in improving the performance of zakat institutions, especially during the pandemic. This is in line with the performance of Islamic philanthropic institution, which continues to increase performance during the pandemic. Despite experiencing a decline in zakat funds in the second wave of COVID-19, Islamic philanthropic institution increased infaq and sadaqah funds during the same period.

The study aimed to analyze the effect of failure fear and achievement motivation on academic procrastination and to test the self-control variable as a mediating variable. This study used a quantitative approach. The research population was 997 students of the Faculty of Economics, Universitas Negeri Semarang in the class of 2019 and the sampling based on the Slovin formula was 286 students. The sampling technique used proportional random sampling. Data collection techniques used a questionnaire. The data analysis technique used descriptive statistical analysis and path analysis. The results showed that there was a positive and significant effect of failure fear on academic procrastination. Achievement motivation and self-control had no effect on academic procrastination. Partially, failure fear had no effect on self-control. Partially, achievement motivation had a positive and significant effect on self-control, and self-control was unable to mediate the effect of failure fear and achievement motivation on academic procrastination. Suggestions given from this study include that students are advised to reduce the habit of behaving in academic procrastination starting from the smallest things, and improve their self-control skills so they can behave positively and can make the right decisions.

Around the world, the Covid-19 pandemic drew attention to state social protection and its limitations. Less attention has been paid to what is likely the world’s largest system of predominantly non-state welfare provision: zakat, an annual Islamic obligatory payment of a percentage of productive wealth to the poor and other eligible recipients. We explore how states and citizens engage with zakat during crises through a case study of the Covid-19 pandemic in Pakistan, Egypt, and Morocco, drawing on novel and nationally representative survey data of 5484 respondents across the three countries. While we may expect that citizens may be less motivated to pay zakat in times of personal economic hardship, we find that a large majority of the general population and of zakat contributors perceives zakat as particularly important in the Covid context. We show that while zakat may play an important role in non-state social welfare provision supplementing state social protection and redistribution in times of crisis, state attempts to harness it are often ineffective. However, while we find that higher income individuals are more likely to pay zakat, even only among those that are eligible, there are potentially negative equity impacts given the flat rate at which it is levied and the fact that people tend to give through personal networks.
