Zakat during the Prophet's era constituted a fundamental pillar of the socio-economic structure of Islamic society, with its execution directly tied to the governance system of the community. In the pre-Islamic period, economic activities and professions were primarily driven by individual gain and market forces, lacking any cohesive institutional framework. The revelation of Zakat provided this institutional basis, enabling a re-evaluation of the meaning, value, and purpose of social occupations. The establishment of mechanisms for its collection and distribution, the supervision of wealth, and the creation of roles like Zakat administrators illustrate how Zakat gradually shaped the organization of labor and the economic-social order in early Islam. This study investigates how the ordinances of Zakat, during the Prophet’s time, transformed the pre-Islamic paradigms of work and property through specific mechanisms, leading to a reinterpretation of social roles and a redefinition of economic responsibility in Medinan society. Employing historical description and analysis, the research argues that implementing Zakat within the framework of a "unified community" (Ummah), grounded in the "value of labor" and "stewardship of property," redefined social professions. Consequently, professional conduct was organized not merely around personal profit, but on principles of ethical equity and conditional divine trust. Property rights became contingent upon fulfilling social obligations through the payment of Zakat, thereby integrating individual economic activity into a collective moral and institutional system. This shift marked a decisive departure from the purely individualistic and market-oriented logic prevalent in the pre-Islamic era.
