Abstract

Abstract: There are institutions related to the five pillars of Islam in Indonesia, such Badan Amil Zakat Nasional (Baznas), Badan Pengelola Keuangan Haji (BPKH), and Kantor Urusan Agama (KUA) that Muslim graduates of higher learning may identify suitable careers with the institutions. The paper aims to assess the familiarity of students of an Islamic university in Indonesia with select Islamic institutions in Indonesia related to the five pillars of Islam, and discover the extent to which they would identify suitable careers with those institutions. The study obtained feedback from 41 undergraduate students of the university by administering a special purpose instrument that contains open-ended and scaled questions. The data were analysed using content analysis and descriptive statistics. Results of the exploratory study reveal the level of familiarity of Muslim students with the religious institutions, and their potentials to make a career with and help develop the institutions. The results show that the students would like to work with the religious institutions, and those who said they desire not to work clarified that it is due to their preference to apply their knowledge and skills in other institutions. Keywords: Five pillars of Islam, Career, Hajj, Muslim, Student, Zakat
