Various aspects of human life have been influenced by digital transformation, including the way humans relate to God and carry out their responsibilities as servants. For example, the conventional zakat mechanism has been changed to zakat that combines internet and digital technology. The focus of this research is to study the mechanism of zakat in the modern era, as well as the opportunities and obstacles that arise in it. Data from various literature studies was used in this qualitative research. The research results show that digital zakat has a mechanism that differentiates it from conventional zakat management. These mechanisms include: 1) an efficient target selection system; 2) convenience and accessibility; 3) transparency and accountability; 4) efficient distribution and scale; 5) ethical considerations; 6) individual interactivity and community involvement. Opportunity. Challenges and Strategies Basically, zakat is one of the most strategic and efficient methods to be developed to improve the welfare of the people in an Islamic government. Therefore, zakat has enormous potential and is beneficial if the management institution can manage and overcome various traditional problems that are always faced by managers. Managing zakat requires managerial ability, accountability, integrity and truth. Meanwhile, several important things that need to be considered are empowerment, supervision and development of the zakat recipient community (ostabią). Therefore, zakat management institutions must have the ability to change the community's perspective from zakat recipients to zakat givers. Getting people used to paying zakat, using innovative and smart approaches to collect zakat, distributing zakat in an effective way, creating quality human resources, and concentrating on development, empowerment and empowerment programs are strategies that can be implemented. In addition, the conclusion is that by implementing digital zakat, there is an opportunity to become more efficient, have a greater impact, and increase awareness and compliance of zakat payers. However, institutional issues, interpersonal relationships, security and privacy, and regulation are all issues that must be faced.
