Covid-19 Donations Should Not Be One Sided, Why Are Imams Not Donating Like Past by psammyCUTE(m): 4:36pm On Apr 03, 2020 |
As Nigeria and the rest of the world continue to combat the health emergency and economic crisis occasioned by the prevalence of the widespread Covid-19 pandemic, there has been a number of activities carried out by health authorities, government officials, corporate bodies and other concerned members of the public to assist in the fight against the virus and cushion the effect of the lockdown that has forced people to stay off work and restrict them from their normal lives. As the Covid-19 cases continue to increase in Nigeria, moreso has the number of charity donations and corporate social responsibilities from organisations and individuals increased. There has been regular reportage of well to do individuals in the society giving out money in billions to aid the NCDC and the Ministry of Health in its frontline operations as regards this Covid-19 menace The Christian religious institution via their respective denominations have shown a considerable level of solidarity to the Covid-19 fight by donating relief items and welfare packages to the government. Nose masks , alcohol based hand sanitizers, soap and other materials for hygienic practices have been distributed far and wide by these authorities.

Not everything must be shown on social media , most Muslim believe whatever you do to help your fellow human must not be known by the 3rd party not to talk of the others , some imam are helping the poor with food and whatever they can which I believe is better than the donation given to the wicked people we called government , some pastors are helping there church members too with food this period and it’s not on social media . We all know it’s not everybody that like hyping and being praise for assisting so op don’t start religion shit with pos. 2 Likes |

How many rich imams have you seen? They haven't made money through zakat like pastors do through offering and tithes 3 Likes |

You should understand that the church and the mosque work in different ways. A Muslim can enter any mosque in the world without any fees. Secondly, our Imams do not force Muslims to give out 10% of their hard earned money just to fund their lavish lifestyle.Our imams do not accuse us of robbing Allah for not giving them money. This is why no Imam owns a private jet in Nigeria. Their only sources of income are their labor's, businesses (if they can afford to own one), and voluntary donations by Muslims. I have even heard that some churches are now collecting money online AT THIS CRITICAL TIME. Thirdly, unlike what churches do with tithes, Allah firmly instructs RICH Muslims to only give out money to the poor, the needy, the new converts, the debtors, the travellers and so on. This way, one doesn't end up sleeping with hunger just to satisfy the needs of pastors. 3 Likes |

The Bible says we should give privately. Islam also recommends that. You don't need to announce it if you want to derive full blessings from God. Many Churches do so quietly because they understand this perfectly. Some announce to show accountability to their members. Social responsibility is a key value in Christianity and Islam. You're expected to care most especially for the poor, widows, orphans, the homeless, the sick and those in prison. That's why Church Ministries revolve around that. Imams may not have access to so much funds because Zakat is centrally collected. (I think). What they give their poor members may be personal to them. |

abduljabbar4:How convenient it is for you to enlighten us on why your imams can't help with donations. But then you forgot to explore the various avenues through which they can help, I mean it's not a secret that these imams wield more influence over there followers than the pastors do, so why don't you tell us why no Imam has come out to solicit the help of the rich Moslems towards making donations as individuals or as a group towards the fight against covid19. I bet if it was a case of whether to allow the wearing of hijab or not they wouldn't mind raising huge amount for the legal fees to fight it in court nor would they have issues in raising money for the sharia law propaganda. So instead of defending by explaining how broke they are, you should be telling them to use there immense influence on there followers to do there bits |

lexyking: And somehow, living in your southern village, you already know that imams are not asking their followers to make donations. Is it because they don't come out on YouTube to say it like your attention seeking pastors? The last sermon I attended concentrated strictly on encouraging those who have excess food to donate it to their poor neighbors and a lot of people, including myself, have done that. You don't have to donate face masks or buy hospital beds before it can be classified as a donation. Giving food to the needy during a lockdown is very important. Moreover, the rich Muslims among us who are at par with the private jet-owning pastors have made their donations. (Atiku, Dangote, etc) |

Op if you can tell me how many churches aside from the famous ones who I belive announced their donation as part of campaign. Name other churches that have donated towards the fight of covid19. Atleast we av x10 churches compare to mosque in Nigeria Not everyone make noise with their donation to safe life, they stand to gain nothing after announcing it |

abduljabbar4: from your choice of words it's clear you're not objective in your analysis. however I will resist the temptation of going into the mud with you. after all it's not your fault that our pastors, rather than give to there poor members choose to give to the federal government.By the way, even though I'm from the south I grew up in Abuja and I can say I've been to most northern states. |
