Once upon a time...

I was sitting in the mosque during the Friday Sermon, expecting to let it fly by, as usual, before prayer. Then, the topic made me sit up. Before I knew it, I was taking out my phone and started writing down notes on what the Imam was saying… I know, right?! Weird!

Being somewhat of a couch social-activist-wannabe, the Sermon on Zakat got my attention. A welfare contribution system to help the poor and deprived? Okay, I need to get my google on and dig up more on this.

So, instead of leaving the notes on my phone, and quite honestly delete after a week, I decided to fly with it. This Blog is dedicated to my journey in discovering more about Zakat and how to apply it in the community.

Peace!
