JAKARTA - Vice President Ma’ruf Amin said that all components of the zakat ecosystem need to be corrected so that their roles are more in harmony and mutual support in optimizing zakat.
" “ All components of the zakat ecosystem need to be orchestrated, harmonized and strengthened in order to be more harmonious and support each other in optimizing zakat management," said Ma'ruf at the Baznas (National Zakat Agency) Award 2023 in Jakarta, Antara, Tuesday, March 21.
Ma'ruf conveyed zakat is the same as living things that need a good ecosystem so that they can grow and develop optimally.
According to him, various important ecosystems in zakat must be managed properly and developed so that extraordinary zakat potential can be explored optimally.
"The collection and benefits of zakat are also expected to increase, and the impact on the people will be wider and more real," he explained.
The main components of the zakat ecosystem, said the Vice President, include the source of zakat or the origin of zakat assets, namely muzakki (people who pay zakat), amil zakat (managers and distributors of zakat) and mustahik (recipients of zakat).
He emphasized that starting from the aspects of planning, collection, distribution to accountability for zakat, all must be managed professionally and safely.
In addition, components supporting the zakat ecosystem are needed, such as improving regulations, governance, increasing literacy and education and research, optimizing the cooperation channel for aid partners, to utilizing data and digitizing and strengthening associations and networks.
"Baznas as a national zakat management institution should actively play a role in strengthening the national zakat ecosystem," he said.
