NASFAT Agency for ZAKAT and Sadaqat (NAZAS)

NAZAS, NASFAT, Waleemah
Many Muslims are experiencing hardship in the world today most especially economically and financially because we shy away from the truth of proper understanding of Islam in which Zakat and Sadaqat; one of the pillars of Islam is meant to take care of Muslims welfare. Unfortunately both the giver and the needy neglect the tool use by our Noble Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and the Caliph to run Muslims affairs smoothly. Imagine a Muslims living in penury collecting a loan with high interest to solve problems; using a temporary solution to further get deeper in the problem. This is what our ignorance about our religion is costing us.


There are many Islamic organization and agency that is collecting and distributing Zakat and Sadaqat in Nigeria and around the world which NASFAT; a prominent Islamic society decided in 2014 to contribute to this initiative to empower and alleviate the financial and economic situation her members and all Muslims in need of such assistant. Hence, NASFAT Agency for ZAKAT and Sadaqat (NAZAS) was established.



Overview

The agency has the responsibility of improving the awareness of Muslims of their obligation of paying Zakat; which is the third pillar of Islam. NAZAS is equally responsible for the collection and distribution of Zakat and Sadaqat.
