Sari

Zakat is a mahdah worship related to property. In addition, zakat is also one of the
embodiment of social awareness in community life that can be used as an instrument to reduce
poverty. To achieve zakat implementation properly and optimally, it is necessary to have
power and government intervention.
Initially zakat implementation in Indonesia is limited to individuals, but since 1990 the
management of zakat began to be directed in the form of institutions in the form of Amil Zakat
Agency as mandated by Law No. 38 of 1999 on the Management of Zakat. The spirit and
desire of the establishment of zakat as an Islamic financial instrument that can be empowered
to reduce poverty also become the spirit and desire of the government and Muslims in Padang
City by establishing the Amil Zakat Agency of Padang City. Total Population of Padang City:
1,000,000 inhabitants = 232,000 family, BAPPEDA Data (2014) Padang City has 32,000 poor
family.
The distribution of zakat funds already has rules in Al-Qur'an At-Taubah: 60 is on the
eight asnaf (8), so Baznas Kota Padang applies in six (6) programs namely Padang Religius,
Padang Sejatera, Padang Sehat, Padang cerdas, Padang makmur and caring Padang.
Distribution is done evenly but still proportional to the number of poor per-district in Padang
City, with the aim Mustahiq become Muzaqi.
