The Online Zakat Learning System: An Initiative Undertaken By The Malaysia’s Federal Territory Zakat Institution

Abstract

Online learning originated within the context of open learning or open education, with the purpose of allowing the sharing and interchange of all types of knowledge. By and large, online education is intended to promote self-directed learning through the use of a range of materials such as videos, links, documents, and a discussion and communication space. The Federal Territory of Malaysia's Zakat Institution (Pusat Pungutan Zakat, or PPZ) has created an online zakat education system, which is the focus of this study. The purpose of this study is to discuss the strategies, modules, and learning topics associated with the zakat learning system as a result of its practical implementation. On the other hand, this online zakat education system is a relatively new endeavour, and participation is expected to grow in the future as the public embraces it. All zakat institutions are encouraged to join these initiatives in order to spread zakat knowledge as widely as possible.
