Rumah Zakat Receives Sharia Award 2026 for Advancing Islamic Economy in Indonesia

Rumah Zakat, a national zakat institution, has been honored with the Sharia Award 2026 (ASR 2026) by Republika, recognizing its significant role in promoting the Islamic economy within Indonesia. CEO Irvan Nugraha expressed gratitude for Republika's consistent support and highlighted the award's inspirational impact on institutions and individuals committed to advancing sharia-based economic practices.

Nugraha described Rumah Zakat as a vital conduit for transferring happiness, benefit, and blessings between those who give zakat (muzaki) and those who receive it (mustahik). He emphasized the institution's commitment to leveraging the ASR 2026 to further bolster the progress of the Islamic economy in Indonesia, ensuring continued benefits for the wider community and the Muslim ummah.

The ASR 2026, held under the theme "Sharia for All: Beyond Profit, Toward Purpose," celebrates key players in the industry, institutions, and prominent figures who have demonstrably propelled the national sharia economy forward. Republika's initiative underscores the principle that the Islamic economy is not solely profit-driven but also focused on broader societal benefits, balancing business success with social responsibility, sustainability, and welfare.

Republika's Editor-in-Chief, Andi Muhyiddin, stated that the award aims to acknowledge entities that have not only achieved excellent performance but have also introduced innovations, expanded inclusivity, and made tangible contributions to the development of Indonesia's Islamic economic ecosystem. The rigorous judging process was supported by an independent jury from Karim Consulting Indonesia, with an additional "Reader's Choice" component gathering over 27,000 votes, indicating strong public engagement.
