The Importance of Accountability in Zakat Institutions
- Authors: Siti Noorbiah Md Rejab; Hairunnizam Wahid, Salmy Edawaty Yaacob
  Abstract: Zakat institutions are seen to be growing in terms of collection and distribution as well as various programs to increase the capacity of asnaf in line with the country’s progress especially in Malaysia. However, there is no denying that there are various negative perceptions of the community towards the zakat institution, including the achievement of unbalanced collection, unequal distribution, community trust and various other unpleasant perceptions from stakeholders. Thus, in line with the community’s perception of zakat institutions, the objective of this study is to see the importance of accountability management in the governance of zakat institutions. This study is qualitative in nature using documentation and observation methods. It is hoped that the study can provide input to stakeholders and indirectly increase trust and satisfaction with zakat institutions in Malaysia. This study can also be a reference to zakat institutions and further to the academy and researchers in the future in improving the accountability of Malaysian zakat institutions.

The implementation of the rebate is based on the concept of da' wa taajjal, where the bank as the financier gives a discount to their customer from the full amount when the customer makes an early settlement. There are issues up to the court level regarding the status of rebates as well as claims from customers about the actual rates that are eligible to be earned. this study was conducted on the application of rebates in the initial settlement of housing financing in 2010 which started with discretion until the latest change by Bank Negara Malaysia in (BNM) in 2019 which is stipulates rebates in the agreement clause. So, this article will study and analyze the changes in the implementation of rebates in Islamic financing from discretionary, unilateral and bilateral rebates status.

  Abstract: Rise in cost for higher education have been causing less privilege and self-financed students who wanted to further their studies in tertiary education unable to do so due to the less affordability and lack of availability of financial assistance. However, waqf is the most effective ways that have been used to solve the problem. This study aims to examine how universities established their own waqf or endowment fund to help students that are in dire need of financial assistance and at the same time becomes an alternate supply of funds to finance academic activities in university. The study also explained the challenges facing by universities’ waqf bodies. For that, two public universities have been chosen in this study i.e., Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) and International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM). This research uses a qualitative approach by applying interviews and library research in the process of collecting data. The finding has shown that waqf undoubtedly offers a great benefit in ensuring the opportunity and access to education at both universities – IIUM and UTM. The challenge, however, is that it requires the continuous societal support in order for it to sustain its operation
