GOMBAK, 23 March 2023: The Zakat Collection Center – Federal Territories Islamic Religious Council (PPZ-MAIWP) embarked on its fourth Educational Jihad series in alliance with the International Islamic University of Malaysia last Friday (17 March) that empowered the spirit of zakat among IIUM students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officiated by the Chairman of PPZ-MAIWP, Tan Sri Dr. Abdul Aziz Abdul Rahman, a total of RM119,000 was donated to the IIUM for 200 asnaf<\/em> students in an effort to expand the spirit of zakat among students and educators of tertiary institutions, while also addressing the welfare of asnaf<\/em> students by allocating funds that would meet their needs throughout their studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IIUM.FM received a visit and a financial contribution of RM1,000 from Abdul Aziz under the objective of the Educational Jihad series \u0153to instill the spirit and a sense of volunteerism among students and zakat payers through the endowment”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Our hope through this program is to call for more zakat payers from among educators to pay zakat so that it is channeled to asnaf<\/em> students,” he said during the visit to IIUM.FM<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is evident through PPZ-MAIWPs RM1,000 contribution to IIUM.FM to empower the spirit of zakat among students by sustaining a \u0153medium to approach students, educators, and staffs at tertiary institutions in a targeted manner to enhance the relationship between students, the community, and the zakat payers,\u009d he emphasized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abdul Aziz further underlined the significance of the mind and well-being of tertiary education students and young leaders of the future to be empowered by zakat as a result of continued practice for students to contribute and pay zakat as well in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As this cooperation is expected to continue in the future, Abdul Aziz hoped that this initiative of zakat can slowly eradicate social issues such as impoverty among asnaf<\/em> students and the community as an important element in helping more zakat recipients, especially among IIUM students and staff in encouraging zakat among educational groups. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

PPZ-MAIWP through the zakat holder fund, also presented the total financial donations of RM119,000 to IIUM for 50 final-year asnaf<\/em> students to complete their Final Year Project, Mahabbah Food Coupon, IIUM Mahabbah Food Bank, Iftar Ramadan Coupon, IIUM’s Soup Kitchen and IIUM’s Sultan Haji Ahmad Mosque.***<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
