Zakat-Eligible Programs
斗牛棋牌在线 Optimus Foundation (斗牛棋牌在线-OF) focuses on providing positive social impact for the most vulnerable populations globally. Through high-quality programs, excellent social results have been achieved. Many of these most vulnerable communities are Muslim, resulting in 斗牛棋牌在线-OF funding projects in countries that support Muslim beneficiaries.
The 斗牛棋牌在线 Optimus Foundation appreciates Zakat and its role in Islamic philanthropy. Zakat is a form of almsgiving and treated like a "wealth tax" to purify Muslims鈥 earnings, discourage selfishness, miserliness, and provide social support to the underprivileged2.
