Abstract

This research aimed at analyzing the effectiveness of the Bankziska program in
empowering victims of loan sharks through the al-Qarḍ al-Ḥasan contract funded by zakat,
administered by the Amil Zakat Infaq and Shadaqah of Muhammadiyah Institutions. Qualitative
method was used in this research with a phenomenological approach using the activity data from the
Amil Zakat Infaq and Shadaqah of Muhammadiyah Institutions in empowering loan shark victims
through the Bankziska program. The data sources were obtained from managers, volunteers, and
loan shark victims who were the partners of Bankziska. The research results showed that the reasons
for the Amil Zakat Infaq and Shadaqah of Muhammadiyah Institutions to lend zakat funds were the
references from fiqh and fatwa, training studies, organizational encouragement, academic input, and
it is easy to implement. The implementation of the Bankziska program had detailed standard
operating procedures, starting from the beneficiary categories, distribution, and payment processes,
to mitigating the risk of default. The al-Qarḍ al-Ḥasan program of Bankziska had an impact on
improving the quality of skills, mental, intellectual, technological, communication, and religious
studies of managers and volunteers. The impact of the program for partners was the awareness to
abandon usury, reduced debt both in nominal terms and the number of loan sharks and an increase
in the ethos of economic independence. This research contributes to providing discourse and
alternatives for other social and religious fund management institutions in using zakat funds
productively for economic empowerment through the al-Qarḍ al-Ḥasan contract for victims of loan
sharks who have difficulty accessing Sharia financial institutions to obtain business capital or
financing services.
