Nagad and Nagad Islamic have introduced the most convenient facilities for paying Zakat and providing financial donations to serve humanity through various charitable organisations.
Every day, users of the Nagad and Nagad Islamic apps, as well as basic phone users dialling the USSD code *167#, are sending their Zakat and financial assistance to over 50 listed institutions. During the holy month of Ramadan, the volume and number of Zakat and donation transactions have increased more than ever before. During this time, people tend to give more charity and Sadaqah in hopes of greater spiritual rewards, while also fulfilling their obligatory Zakat requirements. Alongside this, customers can easily calculate their Zakat by providing information about their annual income, investments, gold, debts, and assets through the Nagad and Nagad Islamic apps or websites, a press release said.
Using smartphones, Nagad and Nagad Islamic customers can comfortably pay Zakat or donations through listed organisations by visiting the “Donation” option in the app. The notable charitable institutions where Zakat and donations can be sent include Al-Markazul Islami, Anjuman Mufidul Islam, As-Sunnah Foundation, Center for Zakat Management, Tasauf Foundation, Bangladesh Thalassemia Foundation, KK Foundation, Mastul Foundation, Quantum Foundation, Sajida Foundation, Obhizatrik Foundation, Mymensingh Medical College Zakat Fund, Kurmitola General Hospital Patient Welfare Association (Zakat Fund), and the Muslim Aid UK Bangladesh Field Office. Beyond these, there are several other organisations where people can participate in humanitarian service by providing donations through Nagad and Nagad Islamic throughout the year.
Regarding this, Professor Dr. H. M. Shahidul Islam Barakati, chairman of the Nagad Islamic Shariah Supervisory Committee, said Zakat is the foremost and mandatory act among financial worships, and it is best to pay it during the month of Ramadan. Therefore, this is the best time to stand by poverty-stricken and helpless people by paying Zakat through Nagad and Nagad Islamic.
Many people often cannot pay Zakat properly due to a lack of time and opportunity despite having the intention. Moreover, those who wish to provide financial assistance in other ways often face problems regarding whom to give it to or how to send it. In this case, it is possible to provide Zakat and other donations to organisations that truly work for the people through Nagad and Nagad Islamic, he also said.
Mentionable, Nagad Islamic has become the top choice for customers to complete mobile financial transactions while following Islamic principles. During Ramadan, Nagad Islamic offers various services such as Hajj and Umrah travel payments, Islamic life insurance premiums, prayer and fasting schedules, and the ability to read the Al-Quran and Hadith with Bengali translations.
