Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Inequality is a development issue that is consistently addressed during the preparation and formulation of development plans in Indonesia. The primary objective of development, both in the short and long term, has consistently been the Gini Index or Gini coefficient, which serves as an indicator of inequality. This is in stark contrast to the concept of zakat in the sharia economic framework, which is the primary tool for addressing the issue of income distribution, which results in poverty and inequality. Therefore, the objective of this investigation is to identify the variables that have the most significant impact on the reduction of inequality. A quantitative research methodology with a comparative causal approach is implemented. The independent variables are the Economic Growth Rate (X2), Human Development Index (X3), and the distribution of zakat, infaq, and sadaqah (X1). At the same time, the Gini Index is Y. The research findings indicate that the distribution of zakat, infaq, and shadaqah has the most substantial impact in comparison to the variables of economic growth and human development index. This reinforces the principle of zakat, infaq, and shadaqah as the primary instruments in the sharia economic concept for the reduction of income inequality.
