This study attempts to investigate the suitable system based on technology perspective to develop the effective and efficient zakat management process at national level in the beginning and international level further with addressing Malaysia issues that focuses in distribution process. Practically, the management of zakat has some issues that need much attention, which based on the findings of previous study indicated high percentage of zakat recipients also zakat payers are not satisfied with the management process. Interestingly, zakat recipients increase almost each year gradually while the high percentage around 15 % of zakat becomes undistributed every year.
