Abstract

The study aims to systematically examine the role of zakat in promoting sustainable finance and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Through the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, this study identifies, analyzes, and synthesizes various empirical studies and national data related to the contribution of zakat to economic, social, and environmental development. Zakat, as an Islamic social finance instrument, has great potential in strengthening the inclusive financial ecosystem and supporting community welfare. The literature review shows that zakat plays a significant role not only as a financial instrument of redistributing prosperity but also as a catalyst for sustainable development through environmental conservation, economic empowerment, enhanced social resilience, and increased financial inclusion. The integration of zakat into the sustainable finance policy framework has been proven to support the achievement of several SDGs, particularly the goals of poverty eradication (SDG 1), decent work and economic growth (SDG 8), and reducing inequality (SDG 10). Therefore, optimizing the potential of zakat through good governance, digital innovation, and cross-sector collaboration is a strategic key to accelerating the realization of sustainable finance and achieving the SDGs in Indonesia.
