mitigate the threat of poverty, the role of Zakah is addressing the

country with more than 40% population living below the poverty
line. It is also found that, poor with certain level of income and
without indebtedness can improve their livelihoods after proper
utilization of Zakah. This paper examines the role of Zakah in
poverty alleviation using both secondary and primary data. Primary
data are collected to describe the condition of Zakah receivers of
study area. Emphasis has been mainly given to see how Zakah can
fulfil its objectives by meeting the essential needs of the
destitute and enhance the income generation of the poor. It can
also help distribute wealth equally. The paper believes that policy
actions on these lines will alleviate poverty on sustainable basis.
