ZAKAT AND WAQF: POWERFUL TOOLS FOR DEFEATING POVERTY AND HUNGER

Experts Call for Stronger Zakat and Waqf Systems to Drive Economic Growth and Social Development

Zakat and Waqf have been identified as powerful instruments for tackling poverty and hunger while promoting economic growth, social welfare and sustainable development in society.

The assertion was made by Professor Irfan Syauqi Beik, Dean of the Faculty of Economics at IPB University, Bogor, Indonesia, during the opening ceremony of the four-day IsDB/SOZECOM Capacity-Building Training on Zakat and Waqf Management held in Sokoto.

Speaking on the theme, “International Experiences and Success Stories in Islamic Social Finance,” Professor Irfan highlighted the significant impact of Zakat and Waqf on economic empowerment, social development, moral advancement and educational growth.

He stressed that an effective system of Zakat collection and distribution, combined with well-managed Waqf initiatives, could provide sustainable solutions to poverty, hunger and economic hardship facing vulnerable members of society.

SOZEA: TRAINING TO STRENGTHEN ZAKAT AND WAQF MANAGEMENT

In his welcome address, the Chairman of the Implementation Committee and Executive Chairman of SOZEA, Malam Muhammad Lawal Maidoki, Sadaukin Sakkwato, described the training as an important platform for strengthening the effective management of Zakat and Waqf.

He said the programme would serve as a morale booster for Zakat and Waqf officials and institutions, while equipping them with the knowledge and skills needed to contribute meaningfully to economic growth and poverty reduction at both local and international levels.

SOKOTO GOVERNMENT REAFFIRMS SUPPORT

The Sokoto State Commissioner for Religious Affairs, Dr. Jabir Sani Maihulla, represented by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Dr. Muhammad Sani Labaran, reaffirmed the state government’s commitment to promoting Islamic affairs and initiatives that improve the welfare of citizens.

He commended the organisers for bringing the important programme to Sokoto and assured participants of the state government’s readiness to support initiatives promoting peace, social welfare and economic development.

SULTAN URGES MUSLIMS TO EMBRACE ZAKAT AND WAQF

The Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, represented by the District Head of Kilgori, Alhaji Muhammad Jabbi Kilgori, reminded Muslims that Zakat is one of the five fundamental pillars of Islam.

He urged Muslims to fulfil their religious obligation by giving Zakat as prescribed by Islamic teachings, stressing that the practice contributes significantly to improving the lives of the less privileged.

The Sultan further encouraged Muslims to establish and support Waqf initiatives, describing them as an important means of promoting economic development, strengthening social welfare and reducing poverty within communities.

STAKEHOLDERS GATHER IN SOKOTO

The four-day training, held at Dan Kanni Guest Inn, Sokoto, attracted representatives from the Ministries of Women and Children Affairs, Social Welfare and Humanitarian Affairs, alongside other distinguished participants from within Nigeria and abroad.
