Presenting the Zakat annual report, he said India is progressing in every sphere of life. Muslims are moving in the same direction of decline. “Most problems of Muslims can be solved if they collect Zakat honestly and seriously and use it properly. Zakat is not charity but worship, which is the fourth duty of Islam, said Siddiqui.
Siddiqui said “ZCI was established last year. it is active in 11 states, last year only 633 were benefited. The number has increased to 1,516 this year, he added. The ZCI has benefited beneficiaries in the employment sector, skill development and education, ration distribution and pension sector. it is characterised by being well connected by technology. It has a nationwide presence. About 70 per cent of the funds are spent on providing ration to the poor, while the rest are used for education and other facilities for weaker Muslim sections of society.

The Muslim community have been told to donate their zakat to the centre by calculating on the zakat calculator available on their website. It is Shariah-compliant and provides guidance to beneficiaries.
Abdul Qadoos, President, ZCI Hyderabad branch, Syed Tanveer-ul-Haque, secretary and Azam Ali, national coordinator were present. Zakat is an Islamic financial term. As one of the pillars of the faith, it requires all Muslims to donate a portion of their wealth to charity. Muslims must meet a certain threshold before they can qualify for zakat. The amount is 2.5 per cent or 1/10 of an individual’s total savings and wealth constitutes zakat. (Maxim News)
