Abstract

Zakat management still faces significant obstacles, such as limited data, low transparency, and inaccurate distribution. This contextual research aims to develop a Big Data-based zakat management model integrated with management strategies and Islamic economic principles. Through a literature review and conceptual analysis, an integrative framework is developed that connects muzaki (recipients) and mustahik (recipients), Big Data analytics for recipient prediction and segmentation, and management strategies for fair, efficient, and sustainable zakat distribution. This model strengthens the accountability, transparency, and operational effectiveness of zakat institutions, ensuring alignment with the principles of social justice and moral responsibility in Islamic economics. This research provides a theoretical contribution to the zakat management literature and provides practical guidance for modern zakat institutions
