AFDIFAL MAJU BERKAH en-US International Journal of Community Service Implementation 3025-0013 https://afdifaljournal.com/journal/index.php/ijcsi/article/view/601 <p>This community service program aimed to strengthen the effectiveness, transparency, and accountability of zakat management through the implementation of an intelligent web-based application for mustahik mapping in Kuantan Singingi Regency. The program employed an educational and participatory approach involving mustahik, zakat administrators, and zakat management practitioners. Activities were conducted through interactive assistance, application demonstrations, Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), and evaluation sessions. Data were collected through observation, discussion documentation, and semi-structured interviews, and analyzed using qualitative descriptive analysis. The results indicate that the application improved the accuracy of mustahik data management, reduced duplication and misclassification, and accelerated data retrieval and decision-making processes. FGDs played a critical role in strengthening stakeholder participation, fostering collective problem-solving, and enhancing a sense of ownership toward the system. Participants demonstrated improved understanding of digital zakat management, increased confidence in using technology-based systems, and greater readiness to adopt data-driven practices. Overall, the program concludes that intelligent web-based applications, when supported by participatory implementation and capacity-building activities, have strong potential to improve the quality, fairness, and sustainability of zakat management at the local level.</p> Roni Putra Ishadi Ishadi Lidus Yardi Elpianto Elpianto Copyright (c) 2026 Roni Putra, Ishadi Ishadi, Lidus Yardi, Elpianto Elpianto https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2026-04-09 2026-04-09 4 1 10.55227/ijcsi.v4i1.601 https://afdifaljournal.com/journal/index.php/ijcsi/article/view/785 <p>Inequality in income distribution remains a structural problem in national economic development, including in mid-level urban areas such as Padangsidimpuan City. Islamic economics exists not only as a normative economic system but also as a practical approach that emphasizes distributive justice, social solidarity, and support for vulnerable groups. This study aims to analyze the contribution of Islamic economics in promoting equitable distribution of national income at the local level through a case study in Padangsidimpuan City. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques through interviews, observations, and documentation studies of Islamic economic institutions such as BAZNAS, private zakat institutions, sharia cooperatives, and sharia-based micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). The results show that Islamic economic instruments, particularly zakat, infaq, sadaqah, and sharia financing, contribute significantly to increasing the income of the poor, expanding access to business capital, and reducing economic inequality. However, this contribution remains partial due to institutional limitations, low sharia economic literacy, and weak integration with regional development policies. This study recommends strengthening synergies between local governments and Islamic economic institutions as a sustainable strategy for income equality.</p> Ahmad Toib Daulay Winda Sari Siregar Jamudi Jamudi Abd Halim Dalimunthe Uswatun Hasanah Copyright (c) 2026 Ahmad Toib Daulay, Winda Sari Siregar , Jamudi Jamudi; Abd Halim Dalimunthe; Uswatun Hasanah https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2026-04-28 2026-04-28 4 1 10.55227/ijcsi.v4i1.785
