AB  - Uniquely, zakat isfeatured as the major tool of Islamic wealth redistribution that routinelycollects designated amounts of public money from zakat payers and channels sameto identified beneficiaries in accordance with the principles of the shari’ah.It is, therefore, essential to organize and develop institutions to manage thiswealth. This paper analyzes the Malaysian zakat system, assesses itsperformance by studying the collection and disbursement mechanisms. The paperis qualitative descriptive-analytical in nature, it analyzes annual reports andinterviews with the higher management of ZCC and religious councils. The paperfocuses on data between the year 1991 to 2014/15. This paper finds that theMalaysian experience with managing zakat advanced technically in bothdistribution and collection. However, the practice of ‘distribution’ ought tobe more sustainable, less consumption-based. Furthermore, the paper stronglyidentifies the need for establishing a database on needy people with thenational welfare system and other relief NGO’s to reduce double spending.
