ZAKAAH APPEAL

We are sure we are all looking forward to the month of Ramadaan, and one of the activities during this month would be to to solicit Zakaah funds and to give Zakaah to trustworthy collectors who will use the money only according to the way prescribed in the Sharee'ah. The number of appeals and the variety of choice may be bewildering and perhaps even irritating, But paying Zakaah is one of the pillars of our faith, and we have to dispense it in a way acceptable to Allaah. The choice is there Al-hamdulillaah and we can look at it as a service to facilitate fulfillment of our obligation of Zakaah.

We understand the responsibility undertaken when collecting Zakaah from the public to distribute it as a trust to the categories specified in the Sharee'ah. We are focused only upon some of the categories mentioned in the QUR'ÂN in Soorah Taubah 9: 60 about which there is consensus of scholars from all Schools of thought, which are as follows,

FUQAARA {Poor} 
MASAAKEEN {Needy, Orphans, widows, e.t.c}
AAMILEEN {Those employed to administer the (funds)}
MUAL'LIFATIQULOOBIHIM {For those whose hearts have been (recently)    reconciled (to truth)}
FIRRIQAAB {Those in bondage, literally and figuratively: captives of war must be redeemed: those in bondage of ignorance or superstition or unfavourable environment should be helped to freedom to develop their own gifts}
GHARIMEEN {Those who are held in the grip of debt should be helped to economic freedom}
FISABILILLAH {Those who are struggling and striving in Allah's cause by teaching or fighting , who are thus unable to earn their ordinary living}
WABNISSABEEL {Stranger stranded on the way} 

1) All these have claim to charity, they should be relieved by individual or organized effort, but in responsible way

2) Remember there are many refugees and needy people, There are so many Muslims in the India it self. who are deserving of Zakaah e.g., certain debt-ridden, Orphans, Widows, single-mothers, e.t.c.

If you are not giving your Zakaah to anyone personally or you wish to give to an organization, then we request you to consider us seriously before handing over your much needed charity to any well-known body and who have either large overheads or too much political uncertainties.

Should you have friends and relatives facing a choice, then please inform them about us Jazkumullaahukhairan
