Centralized Zakat System to Change Condition of Muslims
Aamir Edresy
Excited about soon to step in the Holy Month of Ramzan, InShaAllah? Surely you must have planned out most of the details for Ramzan; right from Taraveeh, Roza, Iftaar, Salah, Reciting The Quran Shareef to shopping for your near & dear ones for Eid. Just one question: have you spent equally elaborate time planning on Zakat? Is that on your priority list? Did you think about relieving someone’s financial burden?
A true believer is the one that believes in every word of Allah SWT. Allah SWT says in Surah Al-Anfal [8:2-4]: They only are the (true) believers whose hearts feel fear when Allah is mentioned, and when His revelations are recited unto them they increase their faith, and who trust in their Lord. Who establish worship and spend of that We have bestowed on them. Those are they who are in truth believers. For them are grades (of honour) with their Lord, and pardon, and a bountiful provision.
The Almighty ordains humanity to help others through Zakat. In Surah At-Tawbah [9:60]: The alms are only for the poor and the needy, and those who collect them, and those whose hearts are to be reconciled, and to free the captives and the debtors, and for the cause of Allah, and (for) the wayfarer; a duty imposed by Allah. Allah is Knower, Wise.
AMP Zakat Fund Details:
AMP realizing its duty towards Community welfare, the potential of a properly organized Zakat disbursement and also how Zakat can be effectively utilized to bring out the Community from the throes of misery had established AMP Zakat Fund in 2013 to empower lives of our people by promoting
Education & Self-employment.
This year onwards realizing the need of times we have added two more avenues of supporting Orphans and under-privileged students who have secured admissions in the prestigious IIT institutions and struggling to pay their fees. In Sha Allah the Zakat Fund Collected this year will be used for following campaigns.
1) Support A Higher Education – Empower Lives
Wherein a yearly support of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand) is given to students pursuing Higher Education in the fields of Engineering, Medicine, Architecture, etc. By this endeavor AMP hopes that the worries of the student getting assistance would be reduced to some extent and they can focus better on their education and try to build a good base for themselves.
2) Support A Small Business – Make A Happy Family
Wherein a support of Rs.25.000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) is given to any needy Muslim person/ family to start a source of income. Through this endeavor AMP firmly hopes that the Zakat Taker of today becomes the Zakat Giver of tomorrow.
3) Make in India – Make an IITian
AMP has decided to provide Monetary Support to all needy students who has secured admission in IIT and needs assistance till they graduates. These are the gems of the society and AMP hopes that through this endeavor it will help these gems shine brighter and they can always come back to help more of the needy people.
4) Shape A Life – Support an Orphan
AMP has decided to support the educational expenses of a needy orphan child so that the child is not deprived of even the basic education for want of a guardian. Through this endeavor AMP intends that the orphans in the community should not feel left behind or isolated and the community is right behind them to support them.
So come! And be the ‘Catalyst of Change’ in the life of needy Muslims.
