It is already known that zakat is one of Islamic teachings that is also the peak of the People's Welfare Pyramid. Inside the pyramid, there are three groups involved in the movement of zakat, namely aghniya community group who gives zakat (Muzaki group), zakat activists group (Amil group), and the needy who are included in the 8 asnaf entitled to receive zakat (Mustahik group).

There have been a lot of muzaki who pay zakat, either directly to the people who need it or through the zakat institutions, and there have been mustahik who receive its benefits. However, if we look at the amount of people included in the welfare pyramid, apparently the three groups are not the largest. There are still many Muslims from other groups that have not been able to feel, enjoy, and to practice zakat.

Zakat Inclusion involves the large groups, such as groups of young people, hobby groups, as well as groups of certain age people.

In Indonesia, the Zakat Inclusion movement is the movement of thought, managerial and operational that will be driven by BAZNAS to make the whole society can feel the joy of zakat. In turn, this movement will encourage the society welfare and help the government in solving the problems of poverty, problems of public welfare and the problems of inequality.
