| dc.description.abstract | This research aims to create awareness among Muslim civil servants that they can pay zakat from their savings with the cooperative society. Muslim civil servants who joined cooperative societies in their various places of work, their salary every month and from the source used to be deducted and kept under the custody of the cooperative society. Some save a huge amount of money and leave it alone until retirement, but unfortunately, when the money reaches the prescribed scale (nisab) for zakat, many are unaware of giving the right of Allah to the beneficiaries. The methodology used in this work was library-based and interviews with the relevant stakeholders. This work is significant in the sense that it would educate those who are not aware of paying zakat from their salary that accumulates under the care and trust of cooperative society, and also the researchers can use it as reference material. In conclusion, it encourages Muslim civil servants to always seek knowledge about their money and pay the zakat. The findings revealed that the management of the Islamic cooperative society used to inform members when their funds were due for zakat. No matter what, we recommend that zakat should be paid. | en_US |
