Poverty has been a topic that was strongly focussed by many researchers from past to present. However, poverty has usually been thought out at one dimension and policies, produced for aiming to prevent poverty, have also been one-dimensional. But, there is also a dimension that contains different and special meaning of poverty. This dimension is the unseen-poor. To know the unseen poor as being an invisible face of poverty and how to detect them into social protection is important in terms of providing social balances. In this study, looking for answers to the questions about how and which tools provide to social protection for unseen poor as a particular group that ordered the protection of Islam. The importance of Alms (Zekat) institutions that have excellent potential in this quest are highlighted.
