Abstract

Islam's third pillar is Zakat. Zakat on wealth is a mandatory payment for Muslims. However, it is essential that the government set up a mechanism for managing Zakat. Afghanistan's existing system is a long-standing and traditional. A new, fully functional system, similar to those in other Islamic countries, must be built. This will make it simple to collect Zakat and distribute it to the revered person. This study, which uses a qualitative approach, aims to use Indonesia's experiences to suggest a new administration and structure for Zakat in Afghanistan. This means that there are two kinds of Zakat organizations in Indonesia: governmental and private. In Indonesia, the Zakat system has significantly reduced poverty. Additionally, this study suggested a new Zakat management model for this aim.
