Maulana Khalid Rashid Farangi Mahli Sahab said “We need to educate and create awareness among the youngsters and the new generation on the importance of Zakat. How in the Qur’an Allah SWT has included Namaz and Zakat in the same verses to show its importance. Even the Constitution of India says that Wealth should not be limited in a few hands.”

Mufti Abdul Kadir Barkatulla Sahab while acknowledging the contribution of IndiaZakat in the collection and distribution of Zakat in India said “Just as the Masjid is a better place to perform Namaz collectively, similary IndiaZakat is like a Jama Masjid to deposit Zakat for better use within the Community.” He further said that all Indian Muslims are thankful to Association of Muslim Professionals (AMP) and the entire team of AMP deserves accolades.

H. Abdur Raqeeb Sahab said “As per government estimates, more than 30% of Muslim population live below povertyline. Zakat and Islamic Finance are two valuable instruments which can remove inequity in the Society.”

Maulana Ziyaur Rahman Sahab, said “Dedication, Hardwork and Ikhlas by Team AMP is responsible for the immense success of IndiaZakat.com in such a short time. The involvement of Ulemas will give the platform the right direction as well as Barakahs.”
