The international conference World Zakat Forum (WZF) 2019 held on November 5-7 in Bandung, West Java, has raised the theme ‘Optimizing Global Zakat Role through Digital Technology’. This theme was primarily driven by the notion of Industrial Revolution 4.0.  

Zakat is one of the Islamic monetary tools specialised at poverty alleviation. Hence, the management of zakat must be adaptive to the recent circumstances for its relevance.  Concerning this issue, the WZF general secretary, Prof. Dr Bambang Sudibyo, said that WZF is a platform to increase the global awareness towards zakat, that it has been proven in reducing poverty and strengthening social community.
