"By way of the fora initiated by the zakat institutes in Indonesia and Malaysia, for the development of zakat throughout the world, the WZF came into being," Arifin said. />
In addition, he added, the WZF will be held at Hotel Inna Garuda in Yogyakarta, from September 28 to October, 2010. He also said that the first WZF conference will be attended by zakat initiators, zakat academicians and observers from the world.
Arifin said the WZF will be held for collection of zakat movement forces from throughout the world, and made zakat as the main program in the eradication of poverty and for the welfare of the human race.
"We hope this year’s WZF will produce a strategic resolution for the development of the world zakat movement," he added.
The WZF, he added, will include dialogs and discussions on the proper management of zakat and development of concrete cooperation between countries in the world.
He said WZF is also aimed at helping countries facing international disasters, because WZF itself was the result of zakat from many countries in the world.
