Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>An Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ismaeel Hussein Adekunle Gbamolada, has advised well-to-do Muslims across the country to pay their Zakat as and when due.<\/p>\n

Gbamolada noted that this is necessary to reduce the level of hardship in the country.<\/p>\n

The Islamic cleric made these declarations while delivering the 1446 AH Ramadan lecture organized by the Ajibode Oke Ona Muslim Community, Ibadan, on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The event was attended by the Chief Imam of Ibadanland, Sheikh Abubakar Abdulganiyy Agbotomokere, a former member of the House of Representatives, Barrister Lanre Saheed Agoro, and the Chairman of the Muslim community in the area, Dr. Bayo Busari.<\/p>\n

Gbamolada, while speaking on the topic \u201cZakat: Divine Solution to Economic Hardship,\u201d advised Muslims to pay their Zakat as and when due to help reduce poverty in the country.<\/p>\n

He said that this will help alleviate the widespread suffering in the land.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose who cannot pay Zakat should pay Sadakat. Nigeria has all the mineral resources to be a good place for all and sundry, but we are still wallowing in poverty.<\/p>\n

\u201cZakat is a commandment from God to all Muslims. People are hungry. When Buhari was in power, we were buying rice below N10,000, but it is now almost N100,000.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you want to give Zakat, give a substantial amount of money. This will help reduce the level of poverty in the country. There is too much hardship in the land.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is too much hardship; pay your Zakat as and when due. Let us assist ourselves if the government fails us. If we pay Zakat, it will purify our wealth.<\/p>\n

\u201cAny stingy man cannot pay Zakat. Also, remember the Islamic clerics who are teaching your children.\u201d<\/p>\n
