SOUTH JAKARTA — The hustle and bustle of Jakarta around the intersection of Jalan R. M. Harsono – TB Simatupang was crowded with motorists and pedestrians approaching breaking the fast that afternoon, Tuesday (28/03/2023). In echoing #RamadanDariHati (#RamadanFromTheHeart) campaign again, Dompet Dhuafa volunteers held a canvassing action and took action to the streets to share iftar snacks in the area.
“The purpose of this canvassing event is to continue the big theme of Dompet Dhuafa, namely #RamadanDariHati, we want to share with the wider society, especially those who break their fast on the road, they are motorists, pedestrians, traders, and so on,” said Fajar Maulana Rifatul Hakim, PIC of Dompet Dhuafa Canvassing Activity.
Furthermore, Fajar explained that this activity was also held as a way to raise awareness for the public regarding income zakat.

Income zakat or professional zakat is zakat that must be issued on assets obtained from the results of work or professional income (salary). This income zakat is part of zakat mal, a type of zakat that must be issued because we have or store assets in the form of money, gold, etc.
That afternoon, the volunteers managed to distribute 150 iftar snacks packages to road users, ranging from online motorcycle taxi drivers, workers, and others. The energy of kindness rolled out by Dompet Dhuafa volunteers was also welcomed by them.
“Alhamdulillah, by the existence of this sharing of iftar snacks, it is very helpful for us, hopefully this activity will be blessed and Dompet Dhuafa will be more successful,” said Jefri (18), one of the benefit recipients of iftar snacks sharing.

Of course with the hope that this Dompet Dhuafa iftar snacks sharing can create good energy for others. So that other virtues will continue to roll and those in need can receive the benefits of kindness.
“Hopefully this canvassing activity can knock the hearts of other people out there to continue the acts of kindness such as sharing iftar or suhoor menus. The campaign that we held in this canvassing activity, it is also hoped that it can provide awareness related to the theme in the canvassing this time, which is related to income zakat,” concluded Fajar.
