Jakarta, June 19, 2024. Majlis Taklim XL Axiata (MTXL Axiata) once again enabled all members of the MTXL Axiata congregation, as well as employees and management of PT XL Axiata Tbk (XL Axiata), to perform qurbani services for Eid al-Adha 1445 H. This year, MTXL Axiata distributed sacrificial animals in Pasar Manggis Village, Setiabudi District, South Jakarta. Dian Siswarini, President Director & CEO of XL Axiata, attended the handover and slaughter of the sacrificial animals on Monday (17/6). Similar activities took place in several other areas, including Jabodetabek, Bandung, Surabaya, Makassar, and at mosques established by MTXL Axiata in Aceh, Magetan (East Java), Luwuk (Central Sulawesi), and East Nusa Tenggara.
Chairman of MTXL Axiata, Yanuar Tirta Kumaya, stated, "MTXL Axiata is once again providing #convenience for XL Axiata employees and management to participate in the sacrificial service this year to help them #BeBetter. Thank God, through collective sacrificial animal donations during this year's Eid al-Adha, we have managed to distribute these donations to various regions in Indonesia, both within and outside Java, and even to Muslims in Palestine and Africa."
Yanuar added that in distributing sacrificial animals, MTXL Axiata, besides directly providing to those in need, also collaborates with partners such as Amal Indonesia, the Al Falah Social Fund Foundation (YDSF), and the Sahabat Beramal Jariyah Foundation to assist in the distribution. The sacrificial animals from MTXL Axiata are given to those in need around the XL Axiata office, including Qur'an memorizers, impoverished individuals with disabilities, and needy people in various regions, including abroad.
The qurbani animal distribution program organized by MTXL Axiata this year facilitated nearly 120 employees in entrusting their sacrifices, collecting a total of almost IDR 500 million for the distribution of cows, goats, and sheep. Each year, MTXL Axiata runs this program to ease the process for XL Axiata management, employees, and congregation members, allowing them to simply register and choose sacrificial animals based on their criteria and financial capability, with a choice of varying weights and place.
In addition to the sacrificial animal distribution, MTXL Axiata also supports all XL Axiata employees through other social programs. These include the collective collection of zakat, infaq, shadaqah, and waqf funds in partnership with the National Amil Zakat Institute (LAZNAS) and Waqf partners. Through these initiatives, MTXL Axiata aims to continually contribute to the community by offering solutions and assistance, whether it be routine aid for those in need, developing and repairing public facilities, or providing emergency relief during natural disasters.
