| Summary: | The government poverty alleviation program could not give a significant change
to reduce poverty. It needed a support from other sub-system, such as zakah.
Zakah, as one of the Islamic fiscal instruments has played a significant role in
Islamic economic. The potential of zakah would cover several aspects like poverty
alleviation program through social welfare system. Zakah could obtain a social
welfare system such as workplace accident insurance, old age pension, pension
insurance, and death insurace. In addition, other problems such as housing for
the poor, capital investment and education could be cared through zakah if
zakah was managed and developed in a maximal way.
Program pengentasan kemiskinan yang dijalankan oleh pemerintah masih
belum memberikan dampak yang signifikan terhadap penurunan tingkat
kemiskinan. Ia membutuhkan dukungan dari sub sistem lain termasuk zakat.
Zakat merupakan salah satu instrumen fiskal Islam yang telah memberikan
peranan cukup signifikan dalam sistem ekonomi Islam. Potensi zakat akan
mampu mencakup berbagai macam aspek termasuk untuk program pengentasan
kemiskinan dalam bentuk sistem jaminan sosial. Zakat dapat dipergunakan
dalam berbagai bentuk sistem jaminan sosial, seperti asuransi tenaga kerja,
asuransi pensiun dan asuransi jiwa. Serta untuk mengatasi berbagai macam
masalah seperti perumahan, akses permodalan dan pendidikan bagi si miskin
yang dapat dilakukan melalui maksimalisasi pengelolaan dan pendayagunaan
zakat. |
