Get To Know Us
Lembaga Zakat Selangor (LZS) was established 30 years ago with the mission to efficiently and effectively manage the collection and distribution of zakat to the asnaf in Selangor, in accordance with Islamic principles.
Over the past three decades, LZS has grown into one of the leading zakat institutions in Malaysia, with the support of more than 600 dedicated amils and 18 branches throughout the state of Selangor.
