Human needs in this study are evaluated based on the integration of 5 elements of human needs as stipulated in Maqasid Syariah and Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. The elements are religion and self-actualization, physical-self and safety, knowledge and social, family and self-esteem, and finally, wealth and physiology. Approximately 300 sets of questionnaires were sent to zakah recipients of Asnaf Assistance Business Program conducted by Majlis Agama Islam Kelantan (MAIK). From this number, 270 people return their responses. Data were analysed using Structural Equation Modelling of AMOSS 20. The findings indicate that the integration of 5 elements of human needs as stipulated in Maqasid Syariah and Maslow’s hierarchy of needs positively affects zakah distribution efficiency. Hence, the study provides an insight to zakah institutions that the distribution of zakah should not confine to fulfilling recipients’ monetary needs but also on non-monetary needs such as enhancing level of religiosity, fostering socialization, training and motivation as well as uplifting living status.

Zakat is defined as ‘purification’ or ‘growth’. Zakat enables the wealthy or rich people to purify their hearts from greed by giving a part of their wealth to the needy. The needy who receive the zakat are then able to fulfil their needs, and, thus, the economic wealth bestowed by Allah s.w.t is spread to all the people and real economic growth is achieved. Zakat, if managed effectively and efficiently, should be able to reduce the gap between the rich and the poor. Each year, the annual reports of zakat institutions in Malaysia highlight the significant increase in zakat collection. Does the increase in zakat collection contribute to the alleviation of poverty in Malaysia? To find answers to this question, this paper observes the trend of zakat collection and analyses the pattern of zakat distribution. It is hoped that the outcome of this discussion will contribute to a better understanding of zakat management relative to its role as a tool for poverty eradication.
