Markazu Saqafathi Sunniya, mononymously known as Markaz with units all across the State and elsewhere in the country, constructed 111 houses for the poor as part of its Sadat charity housing scheme. It was the first phase of a mega project which aims at providing free housing to 313 people.
Sunni leader Kanthapuram A.P. Aboobacker Musliar dedicated the houses to their beneficiaries at a function held in Kozhikode the other day.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Aboobacker Musliar called upon the people to come out to consider and help the marginalised sections in society instead of remaining self-centric. “If we go ahead by helping each other and offering charity, there will no longer be indigent people amongst us. This is the message of Zakat put forth by Islam,” he said.
