Zakat: A Bibliometric Analysis

Open access
Covid-19 Pandemic has increased the significance of zakat management. The introduction of the Movement Control Order (MCO) affects human life and the Malaysian economy. As a result, there was an increase in the demand for zakat and other charity funds. Consequently, this study investigated the zakat provided by zakat institutions in Malaysia. This study employed a bibliometric analysis based on data gathered from the Scopus database as of August 2020. Based on the results of the "keyword" search, the study identified 690 relevant documents for further analysis. The findings showed that Indonesia is placed second with 173 published documents, while Malaysia is ranked top with 268 published documents. Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) is placed #1 in an analysis by affiliation, followed by International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) and Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM). Regarding documents by author, Ram Al Jafri Saad is the most frequent contributor. Journal of Islamic Accounting and Business Research was the primary source for the majority of the documents. In general, the rise in zakat studies reflects a greater understanding of the significance of having effective zakat management. In addition to the unpredictable economic climate that affects everyone, especially those in the B40 group, effective zakat management is crucial. Since the number of documents has increased continuously between 2014 (35 documents) and 2019 (100 documents), it is anticipated that the number of studies in this field would expand continuously in the future
