Nazas Ngo

NASFAT Agency for ZAKAT and Sadaqat (NAZAS) was established in 2014 and incorporated as a Company Limited by Guarantee (GTE) with the registration number 1167914. The agency was established in a bid to alleviate poverty among the masses in general and Muslim in particular. The agency has the responsibility of improving the awareness of Muslims of their obligation of paying Zakat; which is the third pillar of Islam. NAZAS is equally responsible for the collection and distribution of Zakat and Sadaqat. It is also responsible for collecting and managing Waqf (Endowment), Kaffarah (intentional breaking of fast in Ramadan, breaking of oath/vows, intercourse during menstruation), Execution of Wills, and providing Guidance and counseling on Zakat calculations. NAZAS also provides Educational and Welfare support programs and relief for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). In the last seven years of operations, the Agency has been able to collect over four hundred million nairas for the benefit of close to indigents including about direct beneficiaries impacted through our annual Ramadan and Muharram disbursements as well as the emergency medical disbursements.
