Abstract

This study looks at how well-informed and compliant Pejabat Agama Islam Daerah Rompin staff and customers are about income zakat payments. The study uses qualitative techniques, such as interviews, to pinpoint the main elements affecting people's comprehension and readiness to pay zakat. The results show that zakat income is well understood, but there are still large gaps in understanding regarding its significance and computation techniques. In order to increase compliance rates, the study highlights the necessity of improved communication tactics and community involvement. To establish a welcoming atmosphere for zakat practices, suggestions include planning educational seminars, putting focused informational campaigns into action, and encouraging cooperation with regional religious leaders. The study comes to the conclusion that in order to increase zakat compliance and advance social welfare, a holistic strategy encompassing society, institutions, and future research is essential. Stakeholders can develop a more knowledgeable and involved public that understands and satisfies its zakat commitments by tackling the issues that have been identified and making use of community resources. As a result, poverty is reduced and community cohesion is strengthened, underscoring the crucial role that zakat plays in Islamic finance and social responsibility.
