Instead, Ahmed suggests that the concepts of zakah and awqaf should be included in development schemes and poverty reduction strategies. The advantage of such inclusion will be the perpetuation of concepts that are significantly important to all Muslims. It is also likely to trigger a sense of solidarity among citizens, along with providing a structure for targeted charitable work. It will also provide a valuable structure by which to ensure that the goods received by means of zakah and awqaf reach their correct destinies. In this regard, the concepts of zakah and awqaf can be implemented to fund the work of organizations such as Islamic Relief. The concepts can also be integrated with organizations such as the tariqa in order to increase the impact upon poverty relief throughout struggling Muslim countries.
Another important point mentioned by Ahmed (17) is the need for laws and regulations to implement zakah and awqaf. While the concepts are indeed part and parcel of the law of Islam, it is not integrated into politics in terms of legal requirements. Hence, in many cases, the payment of zakah and participation in awqaf are generally non-regulated activities. In some cases where participation does occur, the funding gained is often not channeled towards the correct recipients. In such cases, a global organization such as Islamic Relief can play an important role, together with participation by politicians. In the political arena, regulation can be ensured by means of legal requirements. Zakah can for example be implemented in the same way as the Western revenue system. Organizations such as Islamic Relief can then act as the official receiving body of zakah and awqaf payments, with decision-making depending upon the reachability...

For example, Shu-Acquaye (2007) cites the basic differences in the legal systems in various parts of the world as contributing to the different approaches to corporate governance. Likewise, Shu-Acquaye cites these differences and adds, "The American corporate governance system adheres to the idea of shareholder primacy. Because the United Kingdom, Austria, and Canada share a legal system based on English common law and equity principles, they are similar to
