Abstract

In Pahang, the zakat collection system was privatized in January 1996 where the responsibility was given to the Pusat Kutipan Zakat Pahang (PKZP). The company is owned by the Majlis Ugama Islam Dan Adat Resam Melayu Pahang (MUIP) which controls 51 percent of the major shares and the remaining is owned by AI-Zakat Sdn. Bhd. (49 percent). Hence, this dissertation aims to study the impact of the establishment of PKZP on the management of zakat in the state. This six chapters dissertation discusses the professionalism aspects of zakat management since the early days of the Islamic era in comparison to the existing zakat management system of the modem world. It also looks into the effectiveness of the zakat's expenditure especially in assisting the poor. The study will also identify the weakness of the system if any and propose recommendation to solve the above weakness. Lastly, with a hope that it will be a total paradigm shift in zakat's management for the betterment of the state of Pahang.
