In this blessed month of Ramadan, our hearts are filled with gratitude and reflection. This sacred time beckons us to deepen our connection with Allah SWT and extend our hands in acts of kindness and charity. Central to this sacred period is the practice of Zakat.

Zakat, the third pillar of Islam, is an obligatory act where Muslims donate a small portion of their wealth to charity. The zakat contribution is distributed to 8 beneficiaries (asnaf), as a way to purify one’s own wealth. It is our responsibility to uphold this pillar of faith, and to alleviate the burden in our community. In this spirit of giving, PERTAPIS further simplifies Muslim Pro’s tool to enhance an individual’s Zakat experience – the Zakat Calculator.

Understanding and calculating Zakat can sometimes be daunting, considering the diverse assets and income streams that everyone possesses. With the Zakat Calculator on the Muslim Pro app, it simplifies the Zakat calculation process, allowing individuals to input their assets, investments, and savings effortlessly. Individuals can proceed to PERTAPIS’ website to fulfil their zakat obligations once it has been calculated.

Empower Lives through Zakat with PERTAPIS

PERTAPIS is a non-profit organization with a mission to provide self-help programmes and social services to empower individuals in our community. Your contributions and donations will mean a lot to our beneficiaries and residents, whom we are committed to caring for. With your help, we can continue our efforts in providing a safe and caring environment for the betterment of our community. 

Your contribution of Zakat will enable us to provide care at our 4 welfare homes – Children’s Home, Centre for Women & Girls, Senior Citizens Fellowship Home, and Halfway House. This includes providing for the needs of our residents, facilities and operational improvements, and the expansion of social programs.

Additionally, we also extend support to 500 beneficiaries that are made up of single mothers, low-income families, and those with special needs. We provide monthly food rations like rice, noodles, salt and sugar, as well as essential monetary assistance. Your contribution will enable us to offer more welfare programmes for these families and provide care and tuition for their school-going children.

Donate to PERTAPIS to make a difference and ensure that no one is left behind in our pursuit of a better community. We wish you a blessed Ramadan and may your Zakat contributions bring light and hope to those in need!
