Lessons from History
Historically, zakat has proven to be an effective solution to overcome social problems, including poverty. During the reign of Umar bin Abdul Aziz, zakat was managed very well. This caliph was known as a leader who cared deeply about the welfare of society. He implemented a system that allowed everyone in need to get their rights from zakat.
Umar bin Abdul Aziz conducted accurate data collection to find out who was entitled to receive zakat. In this system, there were no more people begging on the streets, because all their needs had been met through zakat. In historical records, during his reign, not a single poor person was eligible to receive zakat. This shows how important effective zakat management is to eradicate poverty.
Zakat in the past also showed that if managed properly, zakat can be used to finance education, health, and infrastructure, thus creating a prosperous society. The resources collected from zakat can encourage more equitable social and economic development.
During the golden age of Islam, zakat management was not only limited to basic needs, but was also used to establish educational institutions and health facilities. This reflects that zakat can play a role in building a society that is not only free from poverty, but also develops socially and economically.
