The objective of this study is to determine the level of zakat payment awareness among Universiti Malaysia Kelantan (UMK) undergraduate students. Islam requires zakat, a mandatory charity, as a way to cleanse riches and help the less fortunate. Despite the importance placed on zakat in Islamic teachings, many qualified zakat payers neglect their obligation, which has a detrimental effect on the economy and society of Muslims. The purpose of this study is to determine the level of zakat payment awareness among UMK undergraduate students and to look into the effects of religion, knowledge, attitude, and promotion. The goal of the research is to create a greater knowledge of the significance of zakat among the younger generation and to preserve zakat obligations among them by looking into these aspects. Survey questions are used in the study's quantitative methodology and data was analyzed using SPSS version 26.0 based on sample of 351 respondents. The results of this study will give educational institutions, authorities, and people useful information that they may use to create programs and seminars that will increase young Muslims' understanding of zakat payments and encourage compliance with zakat requirements. In the end, this study aims to increase undergraduate students' general knowledge and comprehension of zakat payment awareness, notably in UMK.
