Dear brothers and Sisters,
We are now in the middle of the month of Ramadan.Verily we are thinking of paying off our yearly zakat. Zakat is a means of purification of heart and assets.If we do not pay zakat of any amount which is required to pay then that amount is said to be not halal and we cannot use or spend that money for our family or anyother activities. According to the statement made by a certain imam of a mosque any person provided that person has an amount of rouhly $ 450.00 in his credit of his bank account and it is laying all along in the last complete one year then that person will be considered as saheb- e nesab and he/she will have to pay zakat at the rate of two and a half percent that is one dollar for every forty dollar. Zakat can be paid any time of the year, if it is paid as of today the 19 may 2019 as for instance then the next due date zakat will be paid is 19 may 2020. Paying off zakat should be in exact amount otherwise it will be considered as a charity or donations. Salat and zakat are co-rellated.. Scholars view that one’s salat could not accepted provided he/she does not clear the zakat. However Allah knows better. It is said that if zakat is due to be paid for any year in the past then that will have to be cleared of. If we clear our zakat for every year it will surely protect us from the fire of zahannam on the day of judgement inshallah. If not cleared , Allah warned us about the chasetisement which is very cevere.
Fasting is considered to be a zakat for our body so we will have to maintain good health for keeping fasting till last day of the month of Ramadan.There is shortage of water in our body due to fasting for the whole day so it is better to take plenty water and liquid food during Ramadan.
Children’s program: Those who among the children took part in the last Sunday program include
Ayaan , Naail , Atif , Ramin , Nasif and Afrag . They are asked to take part again on this sunday .If you learnt only one sura then there is no harm if you recite that sura again. I extend my hearty thanks and sincere appreciation to the parents who prepared their children to participate.All the childrens who have not yet participated are asked to participate on every sundays during Ramadan.
All the brothers and Sisters irrespective of cast and creed wo are living in our community are welcome to join on the remaining Sundays during Ramadan.
Worm regards,
Nazmul Ahsan
