JAKARTA – The 2025 BAZNAS National Coordination Meeting Formulates 9 Resolutions to Strengthen Zakat Governance

“Strengthening the BAZNAS institution is a top priority, as well as a manifestation of our commitment to supporting the national development agenda through the AstaCita vision,” said BAZNAS Chairman Noor Achmad in a statement in Jakarta on Saturday.

Noor also welcomed the Constitutional Court (MK) decision on the revision of the Zakat Management Law, which strengthens BAZNAS RI in its efforts to build the nation through Zakat, Infaq, and Sedekah (ZIS).

He hopes that this can serve as a bridge for BAZNAS to continue to establish relationships with all stakeholders, especially local governments.

According to Noor, zakat is part of da'wah (Islamic preaching) and an important instrument for the welfare of the people.  

The nine resolutions of the 2025 BAZNAS National Coordination Meeting are as follows:
