Abstract

Islamic philanthropy is one of the essential instruments in achieving social justice. This concept encompasses zakat, infaq, sadaqah, and waqf, which play a role in economic redistribution and poverty alleviation. This study examines the dynamics of managing and distributing Islamic philanthropic funds and their impact on community welfare. Using a qualitative approach, this research analyzes how the collection and distribution mechanisms of these funds contribute to social balance. The findings indicate that optimizing the management of zakat, infaq, sadaqah, and waqf can enhance community welfare and reduce economic disparities. Therefore, synergy between the government, philanthropic institutions, and society is a key factor in strengthening the role of Islamic philanthropy in achieving sustainable social justice
