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 programmes and relief for the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs).

All the principles and acceptable practices on Zakat are disseminated through our website, radio, television, facebook, Twitter, Handbills, Seminars, Training, Public Lectures and Sermons at all occasions including NASFAT Assalatu Centres.

The Agency commenced full operations in Lagos State in March 2014 with a General Manager, Operations Manager and an accountant running the affairs.
