Abstract EN
This study explores research trends in Western literature about Zakāh, which is considered to be an equivalent, to a certain degree, to a charity in the Christian tradition.
The study is based on a sample of considerable studies in English and French, collected over a period of eighty one years (1934-2015).
The preliminary results highlight three important implications.
These are : (1) the multiplicity and the diversity of the conceptualization of Zakāh beyond the purely moral, juristic, discursive and literalistic approaches which seem to be dominating research trends in the Arab-Muslim world ; (2) the predominance of theoretical studies over applied ones.
(3) Zakāh as a valuable resource is perceived; according to some treatises as an instrument of power from the geo-economics view-point.
