While Zakat has a fixed amount (percentage) to be given out from one&#8217;s wealth, sadaqat has no fix amount but what an individual intends to give out as sadaqat.(alms) Adding that no one is free from the payment of sadaqat. If one does not fall under the category of those enjoined to pay zakat, one should\u00a0 cultivate the habit of giving sadaqat. The act of giving sadaqat is a source for one to earning Allah&#8217;s compassion for doing good deeds.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;There is nothing that Rasulullahi dislikes like begging&#8221;, he said. Quoting Rasulullahi as saying, that Allah said that all these money human beings are pursuing, and\u00a0 gossiping about is for Him. Allah.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;Use my money to buy my paradise.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">This statement is worth a rethink for one who is wise.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">However, there are some challenges with regards to Zakat. Emphasizing, &#8220;zakat is suffering because muslims are not committed to it.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;The rich do not know how to declare what they have. Zakat is also suffering because some people have turned zakat to sadaqat. Zakat is not supposed to be distributed as sadaqat. He cautioned.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Many people do not know how to administer it.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Another challenge is the issue of identification of supposed beneficiaries of Zakat and items one is expected to pay zakat on.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-23039\" src=\"https:\/\/newsreservoir.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20250504_104352-300x226.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"226\" srcset=\"https:\/\/newsreservoir.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20250504_104352-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/newsreservoir.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20250504_104352-1024x771.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/newsreservoir.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20250504_104352-768x578.jpg 768w, https:\/\/newsreservoir.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20250504_104352-1536x1157.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/newsreservoir.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20250504_104352-2048x1542.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/newsreservoir.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20250504_104352-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/newsreservoir.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20250504_104352-696x524.jpg 696w, https:\/\/newsreservoir.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20250504_104352-1068x804.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/newsreservoir.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20250504_104352-558x420.jpg 558w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">These are the challenges we have to work on.

Observe it for us to have economic empowerment and total eradication of poverty amongst the muslims.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The Zonal Chairman, Alhaji Saheed Popoola Gambari earlier in his opening address commended NASFAT Kaduna main branch for keeping the program alive despite all odds.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Speaking through the Zonal Secretary, Shoyomi Babajide Abdulazeez he urged the beneficiaries to ensure that they make the best use of the items to improve their lots.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-23053\" src=\"https:\/\/newsreservoir.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20250504_132617-300x226.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"226\" srcset=\"https:\/\/newsreservoir.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20250504_132617-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/newsreservoir.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20250504_132617-1024x771.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/newsreservoir.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20250504_132617-768x578.jpg 768w, https:\/\/newsreservoir.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20250504_132617-1536x1157.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/newsreservoir.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20250504_132617-2048x1542.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/newsreservoir.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20250504_132617-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/newsreservoir.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20250504_132617-696x524.jpg 696w, https:\/\/newsreservoir.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20250504_132617-1068x804.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/newsreservoir.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20250504_132617-558x420.jpg 558w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">Amongst dignitaries present at the event were, Fmr.
