The Chairman of the Indonesian National Board of Zakat (BAZNAS), Prof. Dr. KH. Noor Achmad, asked the media to be involved in improving zakat literacy in the community. The request was conveyed by him when attending the 33rd Anniversary of MNC Trijaya FM Radio in Jakarta on Tuesday, September 26, 2023.

In the event, he said that the national potential of zakat is actually very large, but it is still not optimally utilized. Therefore, he asked the media to be equally involved in efforts to improve zakat literacy in the community. On that occasion, he also thanked MNC Trijaya FM Radio for helping to socialize BAZNAS programs.

He mentioned that in 2023, BAZNAS has a national collection target of Rp33 trillion, and in 2024 it will be increased to Rp41 trillion. In addition, BAZNAS also recently held the 2023 National Coordination Meeting (Rakornas), which took place on September 20–22, 2023, at the Sultan Hotel Jakarta. In the Rakornas, BAZNAS targeted around 64 million beneficiaries in 2024, higher than in 2023, amounting to 48 million beneficiaries. The Rakornas also emphasized that, as the main institution for the welfare of the people, BAZNAS will continue to uphold the three Aman principles: Aman Syar'i, Aman Regulasi, and Aman NKRI.
