 The ‘Zakat Conference 2025’, organized by MASTUL Foundation and Al Zakat Sadaqah Foundation, is set to take place on Wednesday, February 26, at the Pan Pacific Sonargaon Hotel. MASTUL Foundation has been working tirelessly for the past six years to alleviate social poverty and bring smiles to the faces of underprivileged people. Objectives of Zakat Conference 2025: 1. Highlighting the effectiveness and potential role of Zakat in poverty alleviation and humanitarian development while establishing effective implementation strategies. 2. Raising public awareness about the importance of Zakat and exploring how it can be utilized to create employment opportunities. 3. Addressing key aspects of Zakat, including its obligation and significance, proper practice and expansion, calculation and distribution, modern applications, transparency and accountability in distribution, and training workshops for institutions involved in Zakat collection and distribution. Business organizations and affluent individuals are urged to come forward and collaborate in improving the lives of the country’s underprivileged and marginalized communities. The goal of Zakat is to empower individuals to become self-reliant, not to make them dependent on others. The primary objective of this conference is to promote fair distribution and awareness of Zakat among all. The conference will feature a Zakat roundtable discussion, special sessions, and a Q&A segment. Renowned Islamic scholars from home and abroad, government officials, social workers, NGOs, development experts, academicians, doctors, and donors & well-wishers of MASTUL Foundation will be present. Zakat experts will discuss various aspects of Zakat, the challenges in its distribution, and potential solutions. A dedicated workshop will also be held to explore the best practices for Zakat collection and distribution. It should be noted that MASTUL Foundation's multifaceted social service activities include its own school, madrasa, orphanage and old age home where more than a hundred parentless orphans/orphaned students and the elderly live. Apart from this, more than a thousand underprivileged talented students are being provided health, nutritious food, child rights and basic needs in project schools in some districts. Besides, to stand by the people of the country in the medical sector, through the 'MASTUL Aid' project, more than half a hundred disabled crippled patients injured in road accidents are being supported with wheelchairs and prosthetic legs along with medical services. MASTUL Foundation has sewing training centers, computer training centers through which the underprivileged population is being empowered. Apart from this, more than 1000 people have been made self-reliant through the Zakat self-reliance project. MASTUL’'s main work is the burial-burial service project, through which more than 3000 bodies have been buried since the start of the corona. There is MASTUL Mehmankhana, from where hundreds of helpless low-income people are fed in one day. |
