Abstract

Zakat is an element of the five pillars of Islam. Zakat also plays a very important role in taking and pleasing Muallaf to follow Islam's way of life more comfortably. Besides connecting us with God, zakat can also connect us with humans. The study of the distribution of zakat to the asnaf of the muallaf is highly emphasized because those who are new to Islam, the muallaf, require spiritual and physical assistance. The objective of this study is to identify and examine the relief given to the asnaf muallaf via the amount of zakat given to the asnaf muallaf to maintain the belief and thoughts of Islam in Kuala Terengganu. The method of this study uses descriptive and inferential statistic analyses. It aims to describe the characteristics of the variable and investigate the correlation between the amount distribution of zakat and three dependent variables namely the faith, the understanding of the Islamic Syariah and the effectiveness of zakat to asnaf muallaf. This study found that there is a significant correlation between the amount of zakah distribution with three dependent variables namely the faith, the understanding of the Islamic Syariah, and the effectiveness of zakat to asnaf muallaf. In conclusion, this study has successfully identified that the distribution of zakat to asnaf muallaf can help them increase their faith and thoughts towards Islam due to apart from help in physical form, they also need spiritual assistance.
