Zakat Services at ICLI

Zakat is the collection and distribution of compulsory donations from able individuals to the needy.

The Qur’an talks about the zakat in more than 30 different verses, mainly in the Medinan suras. In the Quranic view, Zakat is a way to redistribute the wealth, thus defining a charity-based economy with a particular interest in the poor and the dispossessed Muslims. Zakat is considered more than taxation. One must give zakat for the sake of one’s salvation: while those who give zakat can expect reward from God in the afterlife, neglecting to give zakat can result in damnation. The giving of the Zakat is considered a means of purifying one’s wealth and soul.

Giving of taxes to Muslims (which includes zakat) is also part of the primordial covenant between God and humankind.[Quran 2:83] ICLI has Zakat, Fitra, and other donation stations on the premises.

The Zakat Committee

Since the inception of ICLI, the Zakat Committee has played an integral role in collecting donations from the community and distributing them to the needy. Our mission is to enrich the lives of the less fortunate and strengthen community efforts in outreach programs.

Role of the Zakat Committee.

Over the years the Zakat Committee, led by Brother Ghulam M Din, has worked diligently to ensure that the needy and other deserving groups have received the proper support from the ICLI community. The committee consists of a board members and volunteers, which meets on the last Tuesday of every month to decide on how to allocate Zakat funds to the appropriate applicants, groups and organizations. The distributions are conducted according to Islamic principles while abiding by federal, state and local regulations for nonprofit organizations. The Zakat Committee selects the priorities according to the circumstances and needs of the community, nation and the Muslim Ummah at large.
