DDHK News, Indonesia - As many as 50 participants consisting of donors who are also Hajj and Umrah pilgrims Dompet Dhuafa (DD) Travel attended the AR-Raudhah Islamic Learning Center Assembly Study, Saturday (31/1), at the Philanthropy Building, Jakarta.
Carrying the theme 'The Blessing of Assets with ZISWAF (Zakat, Infaq, Almsgiving, Endowments)', this Islamic study is the first to be held Dompet Dhuafa and DD Travel.
In his tausiyah, Ustadz Ahmad Shonhaji from Dompet Dhuafa argued, zakat is an obligation for a Muslim who is given excess assets to share with the Dhuafa. The obligation of zakat has become one of the pillars of the pillars of Islam.
"So much goodness flows in every Muslim who gives zakat," he said. "A person's sense of faith in Allah SWT is increasing. Sensitivity and empathy for others, especially the poor will also emerge, so that as social beings, there will be a sense of sharing and caring for the surrounding environment as well as with the poor. "
He reminded, there is a right of a Muslim on the zakat that a person has. "By giving zakat, God willing, it will give us blessings in working and living this life," he explained.
Shonhaji also explained that every Muslim must also know that every property he owns has been used properly for the path of goodness, as Allah has said, 'And spend in the way of Allah and do not throw yourself into destruction"(Surah Al-Baqarah: 195).
"Sometimes there are still many of us who don't know, what benefits will be spread from the assets we have? We scatter it for Allah's path or vice versa? It is clear in that verse we are commanded to make the best use of the assets we have, "he said.
Manager Customer Relations Management (CRM) Dompet Dhuafa, Danar Dona, said that the Islamic study activity of the Ar-Raudhah council was aimed at sharing Islamic knowledge in all fields, as well as maintaining good relations between donors and Dompet Dhuafa.
