The role of Islam as a driving force behind greater transparency of sustainability practices (Andri, Suryanto, Ghofur, & Anggraeni, 2020), especially during the digitalization era where all information is easily accessed. Following the Great Recession of 2008, many people sought an antidote to the economy, and Islamic Finance received much attention. Islamic corporate governance is one of the critical areas that has received a lot of attention because it is a tool for steering the economy (Alam Choudhury & Nurul Alam, 2013; A. A. Jan, Lai, & Tahir, 2021; Murphy & Smolarski, 2020; Siswanti, Salim, Sukoharsono, & Aisjah, 2017). Concerning Islamic corporate governance, the questions were answered differently in three layers approaches: 'decision making by consultation (shura'), 'decision making for which end in Allah through the institution of hisba and muhtasib to ensure Shari'a law compliance,' and 'accountability to Allah as human trustee to resources given through religious audit.'

Zakat is an important form of religiously mandated charity under Islam. It is the third pillar of Islam. The giving of Zakat is important for Muslims, as this leads to purification of their wealth from all sins. This paper examines the role of Zakat as an instrument of social justice and poverty eradication in society. Each Muslim calculates his or her own Zakat individually. Generally, this involves the payment each year of two and a half percent of one's capital, after the needs of the family have been met. One can donate additional amount as an act of voluntary charity but Zakat is fundamental to every Muslim. Zakat is the Islamic contribution to social justice: those who have to give charity share the benefit of their prosperity to those who have fallen short. This is the Islamic approach to remove greed and envy and to purify one's soul based on good intentions. This is the institution of Zakat in Islam. The institution of Zakat serves to eradicate poverty in the community and uphold the light of Islam. Allah says “whatever is paid as Zakat for the sake of Allah shall be rewarded in manifolds”.
