Give Zakat Money to Promote Modern Education

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Assalamoalaikum warahmatullahewabarkatuh!

Zakat India (www.zakatindia.co) is a poverty alleviation arm of Social Activities in Indian Framework commonly abbreviated as SAIF urged the Muslim community to embrace modern education to stay in tune with the changing times and overcome its social and economic backwardness

Education is the most important socio-economic challenge for the Muslim community. It’s deficit is the biggest impediment to the Muslim community's progress, prosperity and empowerment, though Islam placed great importance on education and learning, many Muslim communities in India have long ignored the need to acquire education, and through it, knowledge

Lack of education has led to higher unemployment, rampant underemployment and confinement to traditional, low-paying professions, and under-representation in the modern organised business sector
Although the educational backwardness among the Muslims was known before, the Rangnath Mishra and Sachar Committee reports brought forth the ground reality with official data

The reports stated that the literacy rate among Muslims was 59.1% compared to the national average of 64.8% in 2001, with the gap greater in urban areas

In higher education, while 7% percent of the total population were graduates or diploma-holders, the figure for Muslims stood at 4%
While enrolment of Muslim boys and girls in primary education has shown significant improvement, more efforts were needed at the secondary and tertiary levels

In rural areas, schools for girls up to senior secondary levels should be made mandatory to ensure that girls continue their education with the need to impart vocational training which leads to better employment potential

We want to ensure that every child; the bright young minds of tomorrow, receives quality education, for their welfare, promising future, and their parents are also taught to read and write too if they are illiterate. A farmer who can read can make sure nobody takes advantage of him, and sell his crops at a higher price. A girl who is educated will marry later and have fewer children, ensuring that they can afford to bring them up safely, educate them and keep them healthy. She will also be able to work and earn a living, crucial in areas where one wage is not enough to support a family

We will build a better India by providing Education to All, Insha Allah
