The Role Of Productive Zakat In Achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) No Poverty

The utilisation of zakat for productive businesses has the potential to alleviate mustahik from poverty and support the SDG goal of "No Poverty". In BAZNAS Surakarta City, this is implemented through the Productive Economic Programme, distributed as business capital assistance, training, and other support to empower mustahik. This study aims to describe the implementation of productive economic assistance and analyse its role in achieving SDGs without poverty. Using a qualitative case study approach at BAZNAS Surakarta City, primary data were obtained from staff and mustahik, while secondary data came from official records, BPS data, SDGs Indonesia data, and relevant literature. Data collection involved interviews, observation, and documentation, analysed with an interactive method through data reduction, presentation, and verification. The findings indicate that zakat utilisation through productive economy has not fully alleviated mustahik from poverty. Recipients have not reached income above the poverty line or acquired asset ownership. Nevertheless, the programme has contributed by improving mustahik's access to education and health services, showing partial progress towards poverty reduction goals
