AMP Zakat Fund Report 2014
Although there are many organizations doing Zakat collection and distribution, AMP has got a different vision for it. Our Zakat activity is in accordance with our vision of an educated and empowered Muslim society. We have been concentrating specially on education and financial empowerment of the community.
We prefer to utilize the Zakat money to put up a mobile repair shop, buy or repair an auto rickshaw, help someone in their professional studies rather than just giving the money for routine expenses. This aspect of the Zakat distribution can be understood from the list of beneficiaries we are sharing.
We also ensure our respectable donors of the integrity of our funds and genuineness of beneficiaries. We take great care in selecting beneficiaries and then evaluate them meticulously before disbursement of any fund has taken place. AMP also takes great care that the fund is utilized in accordance with Sharia principles, keeping close touch with community scholars to guide us in the process.
Because of aforementioned reasons, AMP represents a credible choice for your Zakat money. We sincerely and humbly appeal to you to donate your Zakat to AMP. Should you have any query please do not hesitate to contact us any time.
We have also taken care that we are able to reach across the country for disbursements of funds and have tried to spread benefit to almost every state in the country. Though, last year (2014) saw some very severe calamities hitting us in certain parts of the country more-so in the Northern Part of India specifically in the Kashmir region affecting their lives and livelihood, we saw to it that we could spread our reach to Kashmir as well.
