Description
Bangunan Darul Zakah: A Key Institutional Hub in Kuala Lumpur's Chow Kit
Bangunan Darul Zakah, also known as Bangunan Daruzzakah, is a significant office building located at Lorong Haji Hussein 2 in the vibrant Chow Kit district of Kuala Lumpur. Historically the headquarters for the Pusat Pungutan Zakat (PPZ-MAIWP), the official Zakat Collection Centre for the Federal Territories, the building plays a central role in Islamic administrative services. Today, it serves as a primary zakat distribution center for Baitulmal MAIWP while still housing a collection counter.
Institutional Significance
Established as the base for the first corporatised zakat institution in Malaysia, Bangunan Darul Zakah is intrinsically linked to the operations of Majlis Agama Islam Wilayah Persekutuan (MAIWP). Its function has been to facilitate the collection of various forms of zakat, such as those on income, business, and savings, for the regions of Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya, and Labuan. Its proximity to the Menara MAIWP underscores its importance within this religious administrative landscape.
Strategic Location & Connectivity
The building's location in Chow Kit offers excellent accessibility and places it in a dynamic commercial area. It benefits from a well-connected transport network and a wealth of nearby amenities.
