Abstract

This study addresses the critical challenge of empowering asnaf entrepreneurs through digital marketing strategies within a zakat-based framework in order to overcome barriers such as low technology adoption and inefficient fund distribution. The study aims to establish a conceptual model that integrates digital marketing tools like ecommerce, social media marketing, and content marketing with the principles of zakat. This result is expected to increase the socio-economic empowerment of asnaf individuals. This study integrated narrative review design that synthesize findings from previous literature by using data collected from the Scopus database. The data then analyzed through by using thematic analysis. The findings revealed that digital marketing significantly improves market reach, operational efficiency, and financial sustainability for asnaf entrepreneurs. The study underscores the theoretical contribution of integrating the diffusion of innovations and lean thinking with Islamic principles, offering practical insights for policymakers and practitioners. The implications include the need for targeted training programs, transparent zakat management systems, and localized approaches to ensure equitable support for marginalized communities. This research not only bridges gaps in existing literature but also provides actionable recommendations for fostering sustainable entrepreneurship within zakat frameworks. Future studies should explore longitudinal impacts and the role of emerging technologies to refine the proposed model further.
