The 16th installation of AZKA Corner, an initiative by Akademi Zakat (AZKA-PPZ), has been successfully established at the M. Kamal Hassan Library, International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM). This meaningful project was made possible through a strategic collaboration with MBSB Bank — a long-standing partner in the advancement of Islamic social finance. Empowering Students and Scholars Through Islamic Finance AZKA Corner is more than a reading space — it is a purpose-driven hub designed to bring zakat and waqf literacy closer to students, researchers, and the academic community. Through this partnership, MBSB Bank and AZKA-PPZ are working hand-in-hand to bridge the gap between Islamic finance practitioners and future leaders in the field. The AZKA Corner is stocked with curated publications focused on zakat, waqf, Islamic wealth management, and social finance, making it easier for students and scholars to access critical resources in a dedicated and conducive setting. Creating Lasting Impact This collaboration reflects a shared commitment to enriching minds and supporting the ummah through education. By placing the AZKA Corner within one of Malaysia’s leading Islamic universities, the initiative: Encourages deeper engagement with Islamic financial principles Sparks new academic inquiries into zakat and waqf governance Strengthens community awareness around socially responsible financial practices For MBSB Bank, this project serves as an impactful CSR avenue to build meaningful community ties and promote financial literacy rooted in Islamic values. A Continuous Commitment What makes this initiative unique is its long-term vision. This is not a one-off donation, but a sustained collaboration. AZKA-PPZ has pledged to donate its latest publications related to zakat and waqf at least twice a year to IIUM’s M. Kamal Hassan Library. This ensures that the AZKA Corner remains dynamic, up to date, and relevant to evolving academic needs. AZKA-PPZ looks forward to replicating this model with other institutions nationwide, as part of its mission to make Islamic social finance knowledge accessible, practical, and transformational.
