What really is zakatlists

Today’s view of zakatlists

I have seen people criticise politicians, rulers and scholars. Some labelling them too backward. Some being labelled “deserving” for hell fire. Most called with good names. And almost everyone is right. None of us is wrong. But to be honest, I am not content with the idea of “somebody else is wrong for the wrongs in my life”.

Let's start

Version 1.0 - zakatlists

Initially, I made zakatlists a fund raising platform, where people could come and donate funds directly to people. But I didn’t market it, my bad. And it failed.

Later, I took down the website due to financial crunch. I couldn’t afford its server fee and ended up closing this project (in November / December) last year.

That is past, and past is never a good place to live in. So let’s get out and discuss the present “zakatlists”.

Zakatlists is currently serving these things:-

1. Motivational Blogs to boost productivity

2. A simple Fund Raising place for your personal charity works / projects

3. Monthly Tech Meetups to discuss real life struggles into building brands

4. Courses [so far only for my university]

Motivational Blogs

First blog of zakatlists/quranDaily

We are few friends, wake early up in the morning, take shower, perform ablution and rush to our central mosque. Say Fajr prayer. Sit in a side room, take out the mic, unwrap its cables, unhook the tripod, fix mobile aside, pin mic to our collar, take few friends online on whereby, sit in a circle and read Quran. We then unwrap the history, connect the dots and link life of Prophets with World’s Geography. At times Israelites shifted to Egypt. Other times Abu Ubaida fought plague and sometimes Napolean attacked Russia and failed. In a broader picture, we link Quran with everything in our lives and seek inspiration.

These blogs are our discussions turned into words intended to motivate people. That people break shackles, chains and get out of their dorms. That they start taking risks. Live brave and fight for their freedom.

So far, until today, the only lesson I have understood out of Quran / the world history / evolution of mankind is; People who jump into fire to defend their purpose, never lose, stand victorious and write beautiful stories.

So go ahead and subscribe to zakatlists for only 3 USD / month and read our blogs. Click here

Fund Raising

Initial design of our fund raising page, check present page at zakatlists/tickets

Go Fund Me, Buy Me A Coffee, Social Media timelines are all good places to raise funds. I will not say mine is better. I will say mine is human. It is just another place to raise funds for your projects or your charity works.

1 Almost all places ask you to Sign Up before making a donation or raising a donation. Zakatlists doesn’t ask you anything complex. It asks you to create a secret token to amend your donations as you grow. Just that, a password and you start raising funds.

2 It doesn’t need you to have a credit card, a bank account or a mobile number. Even if you have zero credentials, it still will let you raise funds. Your donations will fall into zakatlists account, and stay safe here, until you provide your paypal account / bank account / mobile number or transferwise number. I will personally send you your donations without placing any cut.

3 This fund raising doesn’t intend growing into a mega industry. It does want to beat the industries across the globe. But it wants to do it the Stay-Small way. It wants to prove Prophet PBUH lived the solution. He wanted to help people, in the core of his heart, and build them better. Zakatlists will work on these lines of our beautiful Prophet and build people’s lives better, until this world is fixed. Until none needs charity. Until you do not find a poor. Till then, zakatlists will put all its resources / employees / partners out there and bring your donations to poor’ door steps.

Techshek - Tech Meetups

Osamah Aldoaiss sharing his story to learning to code, check out his talk on youtube

We have conducted 5 dev conferences till date. We have grown to 43 people who are building brands / fighting families and sharing failures. We are trying to remove the superficial curtain of “short cuts to success” and “easy way to make money” concepts. Some successful people join us once a month, share their struggles. They inspire us to build our brands and fail more often. With these people / our novice developers / some doctors and some engineers we are growing one step at a time.

You can checkout our brand page on meetup.

Courses

Courses offered at zakatlists/school

I am undergoing Masters in Software Engineering from Abasyn University Islamabad, Pakistan. I was missing deadlines and losing interest in my studies due to too much focus on zakatlists. Thus, I decided to bring my university into zakatlists as well. Embedded my university courses under zakatlists/school. Started reading everyday, and secured 1st position in my semester. Now my masters is going well.

I have not yet added outside courses. Currently I am building a course on Learning to Code at my Job. I plan to bring these courses into zakatlists soon. Some friends also have shown intent to share their courses on this platform. It needs a small Content Management System (CMS) for others to easily share their courses, which I am building on a side.

Subscribing to zakatlists will let you undergo these courses for a very nominal price of 3 USD / Month [Sign Up Cost].

Conclusion

Innovation by Matt Ridley

Zakatlists is a reflection of my dreams / ideas and life. I want everything in my life. Money, Fame, Grace, Rank and Power. Without these dreams, my life turns meaningless. I find happiness this way. I find hope, love, charisma, style and a strength this way. Once I stop fighting for what is mine, I stop living.

I advise you to build one such brand against your name as well. Steve Jobs named it Apple. Bill Gates named it Microsoft. Zuckerburg named it Facebook. Quaid named it Pakistan. Muhammad named it Islam. Everyone, who lived, had a brand name, defending which they had put their entire life at stake. You should also build yourself a brand today. Buy a domain, write a blog, share your struggle on twitter / facebook / youtube. And live. This is 2020, times of internet, what is stopping you from living the true Freedom. Don’t think and Jump, Fall Fail Rise and Live!
