Abstract

This study aims to determine the strategy for increasing the growth of zakat funds in the Bengkalis Regency. The conducted research with a qualitative approach with descriptive methods whose data were obtained through interviews, observations, documentation and literature reviews. The results showed that the strategy used by the National Amil Zakat Agency of Bengkalis Regency to increase the collection of zakat funds was to increase cooperation with various agencies. Including government agencies; increase the frequency of socialization through the implementation of seminars and workshops on zakat; improve the competence of Amil, UPZ (Zakat Collection Unit) and volunteer human resources; and develop an ICT (Information and Communication Technology) system in zakat management. Meanwhile, the obstacle is the lack of public understanding of zakat and the lack of public trust in the Bengkalis Regency National Amil Zakat Agency. The solutions implemented by BAZNAS Bengkalis Regency to overcome obstacles include management transparency; modernization of management, and publication.
