dc.description.abstractWith regard to the discussions on poverty, public and private agencies must play their roles to encounter poverty issues. In 2016, Malaysia's poverty rate was at 0.4 percent, which was the lowest percentage in Southeast Asia. At present, Malaysia is at the final stage of the program of poverty alleviation through selected initiatives. However, to ensure that the programs are successful, the government needs to get the support from other agencies, such as Zakat institutions. In 2016, Lembaga Zakat Selangor provided at least RM10,854,282 through the economic development program. Although the statistic of ASNAF entrepreneurs is yearly showing an increase in number, the issue that needs to be highlighted is on how many of them have become successful entrepreneurs and have exited from being the poor and needy ASNAF to become Zakat contributors. Such highlight is important because not every ASNAF who gets involved with the entrepreneurship program will be successful since there are a lot of factors that need to be considered, such as capital, monitoring, skills, and others. In light with this, this study attempted to unravel the contributing factors to ASNAF entrepreneurs’ success that is achieved through the ASNAF entrepreneurship program. A quantitative approach was used to collect primary data, which were the input acquired from the target respondents. The primary outcome of this study can assist the Malaysian government in identifying the best mechanism to solve the issue of poverty and reducing the expenditure of the Malaysian governmenten_US
