Most of salt farmers consider the result of salt ponds are assets which are unnecessarily required to pay zakat. It iss because the result of salt ponds are not assets which are mentioned explicitly in the quran verse as assets that must be issued to zakat. Therefore, the author tries to study the zakat law from the result of salt ponds from the perspective of maqasid al-sharia by Abdul Majid al-Najjar. It is known from the result of this study that in the zakat resulting from salt ponds there is a maqasid al-kulliyah (realizing the welfare of the people and the distribution of wealth), maqasid al-nau’iyah (giving a rise to a sense of solidarity and enthusiasm to help each other between the rich and the poor), and maqasid al-juz'iyyah (purifying wealth and self, as well as cleaning charity and result of operations). The result of salt ponds are assets for which zakat must be issued and are categorized as commercial assets based on several reasons, namely: first, there are maqasid that must be realized; secondly, it is kasab; third, the result of salt ponds are not bound by the obligation of other zakat in essence; fourth, it intention/purpose to be sold; and fifth, the fulfillment of ‘illat zakat, which is al-nama’ (growing).

Positive Effect

Zakat is obligatory for all Muslims while infaq and alms are sunah. Zakat, infaq, and alms (ZIS) make distribution of wealth from the rich to the poor people. If the poor people are able to fulfill their basic needs, they can work well and contribute positively to the economy in various sectors. Zakat, infaq, and alms are expected to be one of the alternative policies to increase economic growth. However, to find out whether zakat, infaq, and alms have succeeded in positively contribute to economic growth, research is needed to prove the existence of the influence of zakat, infaq and alms in Indonesia. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of zakat, infaq, and alms on the economy. This study uses a panel regression analysis with driscoll and kraay standars errors. The results of this study showed that zakat, infaq, and alms have positive effect on Indonesia's economic growth.

This article examines the activities of Christian religious communities and the birth of a commercialised Christian religion. It begins by creating an atmosphere that the Nigerians find themselves in, and explaining as to why they rely more on religious vendors for solutions to their physical and spiritual problems. Thus, the real causalities are the people with no contentment. The commercialisation of religion in Nigeria has been characterised by increased poverty and social vices such as armed robbery, bad leadership and bad citizenship. Findings reveal that adherents of the various churches that have commercialised their blessings comprise both the poor and the rich of the society. The poor are seeking God for instant blessing, while the rich are seeking God for the sustainability of their wealth and protection. True religion is now lost in Nigeria. Some pastors treat the church as an investment, expecting to get something in return personally when the institution prospers financially. This is evident in the rise in sugar-coated preaching in most Nigerian churches. It was discovered that commercialisation of churches is mainly for financial gains, and it is an offshoot of the proliferation of churches in Nigeria.

Order Equality

<p><em>This paper is based on a two decade observation on the dilemma of order and justice, leading to an attempt to analyze the social-economic factors underlying the historical roots of injustice. On its course it attempted to take lessons from historically proven axioms provided by certain heavy weight thinkers. While trying to make the best out of those axioms, the analysis could not ignore the hard facts of the daily life of the billions of people suffering from unending injustice in most parts of the world, in the rich and let alone in the poor parts of it. Neither could it escape from criticizing the ubiquitous mess in the justice system, almost universally. Although the overall problem of injustice does not seem to provide much hope for a better life of the people at large, the conclusion of this paper tried to distant away from a pessimistic stance and instead proposed an agenda for those who may concern to be carried out. This paper contains forethoughts of a book in the making regarding basically the same problem.  </em></p><p><em> </em></p><p align="right"><strong><em>Keywords</em></strong><em>:</em></p><em>history, authority, rationality, law, order, equality, justice</em>

Bishop Pedro Casaldaliga is a tiny, slightly-built man with a husky voice and a sense of humour; a fervently religious man who burns with indignation when he talks about injustice, and shines with compassion when he talks about the sufferings of his people. He is also a poet, whose verses on liberation, the poor and the guerrilla struggles of Latin America have been translated into many languages. Now 55, Casaldaliga was born into an ultra-right wing Catholic family in Catalonia. In 1952 he became a priest in the Claretian order, inspired to a great extent by an uncle — also a priest - who was murdered by anarchists during the Spanish Civil War. In 1968, following Vatican II and the Church's new ‘option for the poor’, Casaldaliga came to Brazil to take charge of a vast abandoned region on the edge of the Amazon, the Prelacy of São Felix do Araguaia. He found a land where ‘money and a .38 pistol were the rule of law’. Huge cattle farms, many owned by transnational companies, drove peasant farmers off their land, and employed labourers in slave conditions. There were no schools or hospitals, and Casaldaliga and the priest who arrived– with him soon discovered ‘the multiple, devastating presence of illness and death’. He recalls that, ‘In our first week in São Felix four children died and were carried past our house down to the cemetery in cardboard boxes which looked like shoeboxes. We were to bury so many children there – each family loses three or four dead infants – and so many adults, dead or killed, many without even a coffin, and some without even a name’. But in these people, exploited and cheated by the rich and powerful, and ‘swept backwards and forwards by the tide of poverty’ Casaldaliga saw the people of God. In 1970 he published a pastoral letter denouncing feudalism and slavery. Immediately banned by the authorities, this was the first warcry in a battle which continues today. Men have been hired to kill him, and attempts have been made to expel him from the country (see Index/Index 2/1981). The Prelacy has been invaded by the military, and priests and lay-workers have been arrested, tortured, and imprisoned. Another priest was shot dead beside him when they tried to stop police torturing two women. A systematic campaign of lies and distortion is waged against him on the official radio and TV. He is hated by the landowners and by the military. For years he has expected assassination. One cannot help being reminded of the life of Jesus Christ.

… And tell me, which President looked to the future? It was, believe it or not, [Sánchez] Cerro. I fully recognize that he was able to look to the future and … he grabbed the rich [by the neck] and took part of their wealth, you there [he said], you’re going to give me potatoes, you’re going to give me yucca, you’re going to give me sweet potatoes, he told them, to feed the poor neighborhoods, you bring me rice, meat, you tell me you have five hundred cows, well then, kill only five cows, otherwise, slash-slash, I’m going to snuff you too, and then, no!, you have to do what Nine-Fingers [Sánchez Cerro—who lost one of his fingers during a military uprising] says. He was a strange president. What did he do? He’d bring out the military officers, the soldiers, [and he would say] you here, you’re going to cook, and he’d go off with the trucks to the poor neighborhoods with the food, all ready to eat, the people should not be dying of hunger he would say, buthe saw that that too was indecent, so he built the comedores populares[sic]. Who inaugurated them? One-eyed Oscar R. Benavides, but who started them? [Sánchez] Cerro [my emphasis].This article examines the creation, in the 1930s, of restaurants, known asrestaurantes populares,which were funded and run by the Peruvian state in order to “solve the urgent problem of [the provision of] easy, comfortable and healthy nutrition to the popular classes.”

The paper searches the cause and effect impacts of the newly-found Coronavirus. The word "Corona" is currently used by all the people (7.7 billion) over the age of at least 3. The unprecedented disease is reflecting a large number of effects infecting and killing many people of the rich and the poor. The new phenomenon is continuing rapidly. It brings about recessions and closures in many businesses, and laying off many employees and workers, and that has created income and security problems for the families. The new environment has imprisoned families inside homes disrupting them from the normal and regular interactions. Such people are getting frustrated indoors. The people confined at home are usually exposed and vulnerable to psychological disorders. Almost all those at school age, are banned to attend schools and higher educational institutions at all levels. So, the educational institution is also losing a lot. The new phenomenon needs sociological appraisal from various viewpoints. What is currently happening, will create problems in post-Corona age. One of the problems that will demographically impact the world nations is "migration". Many people of the poor countries will move to more developed countries where they hope to earn their living. So, social demographers need to mind the future scenario. Poor economies will not easily be able to rehabilitate and reconstruct themselves. That is why a large migration wave will be quite likely to occur. Similarly, many countries will face increasing child labor and street children because of shortage of employment for the adults. The method of research used in the present research is of qualitative type--collecting the data through library resources and other media. Findings prove that everybody is exposed to being affected, infected and killed through the Coronavirus.

Taxes cannot be denied in order to prevent financial crises and economic crises. In times of crisis, it is sometimes possible to intervene in these periods by decreasing the existing tax rates and sometimes by applying new taxes. The Robin Hood tax is based on the idea of giving it to the poor. According to this idea, the financial sector will be taxed in times of crisis and the tax burden that countries have to bear will be reduced. Moreover, the important point here is related to the usage area of the income derived from taxation of the financial sector. These taxes will be transferred directly to the public (i.e., to the people who suffer from the crisis). Thus, the idea of transferring from the rich to the poor will take place. In this chapter, the applicability of Robin Hood tax will be determined by considering the main features of the tax, and the tax will be examined before the social state principle. In this direction, the superior aspects of the said tax will be determined, and some suggestions will be made.

Systems resembling modern étatisme can be traced to antiquity. So can other measures: planned economy in various fields, monopolies with their fixed prices and other burdens, forms of state control which benefited the state or particular individuals, but which compromised the best interests of the people. On the other hand, paying salaries to the poor, unemployed citizens to avert the outbreak of social revolutions, “soaking the rich” by excessive and even ruinous taxation were among the economic measures known to the ancient world also. So were other present-day phenomena: the presence of “haves and have-nots,” inflation, strikes, and the low purchasing power of the masses.

Purpose This paper aims to present a conceptual model on service quality of zakat institutions that are responsible for collecting, managing and distributing zakat in Malaysia. Zakat is an Islamic religious “tax” charged on the rich and well-to-do members of the community for distribution to the poor and the needy as well as other beneficiaries based on certain established criteria according to the Qur’an. The main aim of zakat is to protect the socio-economic welfare of the poor and the needy. Design/methodology/approach The paper reviews and synthesizes the relevant literature on service quality. The paper then proposed a conceptual model to study the service quality of zakat institutions. Findings The paper identifies the appropriate methods to examine the extent of service quality of zakat institutions. Such evaluations are crucial for organizations like zakat institutions to function effectively to achieve the noble objectives of socio-economic justice through proper distribution of wealth. Originality/value This paper presents a conceptual model of service quality of zakat institutions which would be useful for further empirical research in this area. The findings are not only relevant and applicable to Malaysia but also to other Muslim countries.

Abstract In this essay, I argue that, in the pathetic, transformative, and eschatological presence, the Spirit persistently brings the economic sphere of human life into the perichoretic fellowship of the triune God. When considering the perennial and ever-growing gap in wealth between the rich and the poor as well as the Global North and the Global South within the global capitalist system, I deeply appreciate Kathryn Tanner’s call for an economy of grace. However, in my critical engagement with her suggestion of the hypostatic union as a model for an equitable economy, I suggest how the global capitalist market could be modeled on the “perichoretic” union in the presence of the Spirit who co-suffers with and redeems creation including the economic sphere as the pledge of the new creation. Then, I concretely engage with the problems of equal distribution of wealth, alienation of labor, and solidarity with the poor for their own rights.
