Zakat House partners with INCEIF University for technical assistance

The Zakat House of Maldives has formalized an agreement with INCEIF University of Malaysia for technical assistance, staff training, and promote the Islamic economy. The agreement was signed by Izzaddin Adnan, Director General of the Zakat House, and Professor Dr. Aishath Muniza from INCEIF during a delegation visit to Malaysia, following an invitation from Malaysian Minister of Islamic Affairs, Professor Dr. Mohamed Naeem Mukhtar. Recognized for its robust zakat system, Malaysia’s Islamic Affairs Authority has endorsed the establishment of a dedicated Zakat agency in the Maldives, a decision supported by President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu. The visiting delegation also received training at various Zakat offices in Malaysia. Inaugurated on December 18, 2023, the Zakat House aims to strengthen the zakat system in the Maldives and enhance the Zakat Fund to ensure effective distribution of benefits. Current efforts include digitizing services for improved accessibility and ongoing discussions with international partners to establish the Zakat House of the Maldives as an internationally recognized institution.
