Zakaah is one of the five pillars of Islam, which is obligatory on every muslim which meets the necessary criteria calculated as 2,5% of their wealth to help the needy. The basis of Zakaah is in order to prevent the widespread of poverty, which aligns with our key objective. When we have in our hands that someone else needs, the Almighty is answering their prayers through us. When we accept this opportunity, we say yes to being an instrument of the Almighty. Our gratitude to the Almighty is therefore not merely based on words of praise but also based on charitable acts of service to his creation.
Zakaah is thus a blessing from the Almighty, because it is through the purification of our worldly attachments that we expand and progress in our spiritual life.
Today we managed to provide 150 families with food parcels from Parkwood, Lentegeur, Vrygrond, Ottery and surrounding areas. With your Zakaah we are able to nourish and sustain a family with food for at least a week or two.
We would like to thank everyone for trusting us with your Zakaah and we hope we met or exceeded your expectations. May the Almighty increase your wealth and grant you and everyone the best of health. It is important to note that we draw closer to the Almighty not through what we have, but through what we give. Since everything that is in our hands is perishing, it is only what we give for the sake of God that we ever really hold on to.
Below are some pictures of todays food parcels distribution:
