تعد تقنيات إنترنت الأشياء إحدي التطورات التكنولوجية الهائلة التي يشهدها العصر الحالي. ومن ثم اتجهت العديد من الدول نحو الإفادة من تلك التقنيات في مختلف جوانب الحياة، وتعد المكتبات العربية من المؤسسات التي ينبغي عليها مواكبة أحدث التطورات التقنية والعمل على توظيفها والإفادة منها بما يلبى احتياجات روادها، وذلك لضمان وجودها واستمراريتها بكفاءة. لذا تسعي الدراسة الحالية لعرض بعض تجارب المكتبات ومؤسسات المعلومات الرائدة نحو تطبيق تقنيات إنترنت الأشياء والإفادة منها في تطوير خدمات المعلومات، سواء على المستوى العالمي أو العربي، فضلاً عن مناقشة سبل الإفادة الممكنة من تقنيات إنترنت الأشياء؛ تقنية iBeacon، وتقنية RFID، وتقنية GPS، وتقنية Blochchain في تقديم وتطوير خدمات المعلومات بالمكتبات الأكاديمية المصرية.

This review explores how blockchain technology can revolutionize Zakāh management in India, addressing persistent transparency and trust issues. Zakāh, a core Islamic practice aimed at reducing socioeconomic inequality, often falls short of its potential due to inefficiencies and a lack of accountability in the current system. By analyzing secondary sources, this study highlights how blockchain and smart contracts can transform Zakāh collection and distribution. The proposed model promises greater transparency, trust among donors, and more efficient fund allocation, which could boost formal contributions and significantly reduce poverty in the Indian Muslim community. A critical insight is the lack of research on blockchain's role in Zakāh distribution and its societal impact in India. Additionally, outdated data on Zakāh funds underscores the need for modernization. The study synthesizes existing knowledge through a systematic review while addressing ethical concerns and methodological limitations. Adopting a qualitative approach, it provides a fresh perspective on blockchain's potential to enhance Zakāh systems and offers a practical framework for policymakers and religious leaders to implement meaningful changes.

Waqf resources which once used to finance the social welfare needs of the Muslim society, have now lost much of their vigor due to the economic ill-health of Muslims. Now, as new awqāf are not created often, a short-term measure to overcome the problem is to develop the existing awqāf and also to consider certain such measures which may enhance the income generation capability and administrative well-being of awqāf. With this in view, this brief write-up discusses in relative detail the issues inherent in the development of awqāf, better utilization of cash waqf, debate on perpetuity of waqf, state intervention and also whether origin of trust lies in waqf and a futuristic model of waqf management by separating religious awqāf (like mosques, graveyards, etc.) and secular awqāf so as to confine state intervention to secular awqāf alone.

The purpose of the study is to determine the possibility of using blockchain technology as an Accounting Information System (AIS). The study exhibits the theoretical background of blockchain technology. As well as different characteristics of blockchain technology and its possibility to be used as accounting information system. The study depended on a field study to test the study Hypotheses. The results indicated that there is no definite approach regarding using blockchain as AIS. Up to now, researchers have different opinion, some argued that using blockchain based AIS would bring a huge benefit to the accounting industry and it should be merged with ERP systems. While others argued that there are already current systems that provide what blockchain expected to provide, so there is no need to consider it. On the other hand, others consider using Blockchain as a System (BaaS) since it would be very hard to merge in current systems.
