Authority is all things that are able to cover the essential needs of every human being, which can be obtained from other persons. The idea of eigendom in civil law is the authority to freely grasp the benefits of each good and act freely over the goods in total, provided that they are in accordance with different regulations, public order and the authority of different persons. But in agrarian eigendom appears as a regenerational, solidest and most complete authority but limited by the role of society. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method with the type of library research data collection. The legal materials obtained are classified and analyzed by content analysis using the eigendom comparison method in private law and agrarian law. From the answer to the problem formulation, the result was obtained that both discussed extensively about eigendom, but had their own uniqueness as a consequence of the varied initial concept. The regulation of property rights in western private law is broader in scope (not only land ownership) although the regulation is not comprehensive, and the granting of authority is not balanced with obligations. In the agrarian law, property rights are regulated in detail, but the focus of eigendom on land is limited by community duties, there is a balance of obligations and authority.

Poverty remains a major development challenge in Indonesia despite various government programs. In this context, zakat as an Islamic economic instrument holds significant potential to address economic inequality and improve community welfare. However, the optimal utilization of zakat to support economic empowerment and development has yet to be fully realized. This study aims to analyze the role of zakat in alleviating poverty and promoting economic growth in Indonesia, as well as to identify obstacles and strategies for optimizing its management. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, utilizing literature review and secondary data analysis from zakat institutions’ reports, academic publications, and national statistics. Additionally, case studies were conducted on economic empowerment programs based on zakat implemented by several prominent zakat institutions in Indonesia. The findings indicate that zakat plays a significant role in increasing the income of zakat recipients (mustahik), expanding access to micro business capital, and encouraging economic self reliance. Productive zakat programs are proven to be more effective in the long term compared to consumptive zakat distribution. Nevertheless, challenges such as low zakat literacy, unequal distribution, and the lack of integration between zakat institutions and government programs remain key barriers. The study recommends enhancing collaboration among institutions, utilizing digital technology for zakat collection and distribution, and strengthening regulations and public education as strategies to maximize zakat's potential in national economic development.
