Abstract: Managing a substantial amount of zakat and aligning them to a philanthropic function exposes zakat institutions to intense scrutiny. Zakat institutions must improve their functioning to help the poor and enhance confidence among all relevant stakeholders. This systematic review was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). This review aims to elucidate prevalent research themes, synthesise previous findings, and propose avenues for future inquiry in this domain. Drawing upon twenty articles extracted from the Scopus database, the review identifies three principal research clusters: quality and efficiency, management practices, and reporting mechanisms. Key findings for all studies of these three clusters were highlighted, and potential areas of future research were proposed. This review makes a significant contribution to the zakat institutions and scholars as it provides a better understanding of the current state of research related to the management of zakat institutions in Malaysia.
