Abstract

This study aims to analyse the influence of zakat potential on sustainable development goals (SDGs), i.e., no poverty, no hunger, and quality education. The study’s findings show that zakat potential influences SDGs even though the correlation is low when it comes to poverty (0.103), no hunger (0.193), and quality education (0.079). Additionally, it is also found that access to quality education through the allocation of BAZNAS scholarship programs for undergraduate, Master, and Doctoral programs and research assistance bring positive changes. Scholarship recipients hold periodic meetings with inspirational figures to disseminate practical experience and encourage BAZNAS Scholarship awardees to become business actors to be independent and help others. Zakat potential empowers teachers' book writing skills through writing awards to increase intellectual potential, academic potential, and thinking productivity. Zakat potential is also distributed for psychosocial visiting children and communities affected by natural disasters. In addition to educating them and raising their self-confidence, it also releases them from prolonged psychological trauma.
