Abstract : Zakat is one of the five basic pillars in Islam, Furthermore, It is an obligation of all financially able Muslims to give a specific amount of their wealth to predetermined beneficiaries. However, this study will discuss the low compliance reported in the payment of zakat. In ensuring zakat obligations are fulfilled, zakat organizations are set up to manage zakat efficiently. Although zakat organizations have been operational for a long time in Palestine, their performances have yet to reach full potential. It is of prime importance that these institutions are managed effectively and efficiently because of their pivotal role in the society. In a country where zakat is one of the necessary components for development, the way to ensure optimum utilization of zakat is through the integration of zakat organizations into the mainstream economy. For zakat organizations to be integrated into the mainstream economy, efficient performance is required. Based on hermeneutic and demarcation approaches, this study proposes the phases of zakat integration in Palestine. Furthermore, the study will discuss the factors can affect zakat sustainability organizations in Palestine namely: attitude, knowledge, perceived control and subjective norm moderating by the trust as an internal control. In the end of the study, the finding of the present study will increase the eligible Muslims awareness to pay zakat on saving and help policymakers to be more efficient and effective in the futureز
