Charging is very high for hufaz family’s not economic sound to full fill fees for 10 th , 11th, 12th as per vision int. Academy management demand & for reach and sound family’s why come to vision …. they can every where ….
So open a study center or school certificate for needy … with all types facility , if u don’t have budget please take only 5 to 6 hufaz and provide him good education including Arabic & English spoken to lead world and get good position also understand Al Quran by Arabic language.
I think so … I talk to vision administration they asked money 70000 for school study one year and said no discount, I request then said we will see if zakat money come to us then we give 10.000/ only not more ..
It’s nit way to help and say will from zakat …. even u help any one don’t say it’s zakat money ….
I think humiliation…
Allah guide us to serve people with humble and respect …
Regards….
“It’s nit way to help and say will from zakat …. even u help any one don’t say it’s zakat money ….

>I think the problem is ignorance.
Allah subhanu wa ta’ala has himself stated that the zakat money is OWED to these beneficiaries.
Only a JAHIL, will believe what the Creator himself ORDERS is something to be ASHAMED of.
That is a “cultural problem” insulting to the one who sent the message, as a mercy to take the PUNISHMENT off a donor. On the CONTRARY the recipient is HELPING the donor.
ZAKAT is NOT VOLUNTARY charity given out of the goodness of heart of the donor, or for gaining personal benefit in the Akhirah. It is an OBLIGATION.
If the Indian Muslims & their Ulama don’t understand & believe this with mind & heart, then is it any wonder that a standing insult of the Creator, may result in punishments in this world & the next?
The Dunya drunkards have no shame in consuming HARAM WEALTH e.g. Ri’ba Bank manager jobs, stealing inheritances (in OPEN defiance of the Qur’anic ORDERS), glorified vulgar courtesans e.g. shameless seedy “entertainment” Celebrity actors/”heroes”? & dancers etc
RIZQ is from the Ar-RAZZAQ.
If I, or my family, were under the nisaab level of wealth, I WOULD feel no SHAME, in accepting Zakat, as it is the Rahman’s order to balance out HIS wealth!
Allahu’Alim
