Zainuddin MZ

Zainuddin Hamidi (2 March 1952 – 5 July 2011), also colloquially known as Zainuddin M.Z., was an Indonesian Islamic preacher, da'i, and politician. He was nicknamed as Dai Sejuta Umat (da'i for millions) due to his sheer popularity among the Indonesian society.

Career Lectures by Zainuddin were often attended by tens of thousands of people, leading to him being nicknamed Dai Sejuta Umat (da'i for millions). His wife Kholilah was also increasingly known to the public as his lectures began to be recorded. Cassettes containing his lecture were sold in all of the archipelago and also in some other neighboring Asian countries. He then was frequently featured in TV programs, and also appeared in a collaborative program with pop actors called Nada and Dakwah.
