REGENCY – For Ustaz Sodikin, being blind is not an obstacle to continue
doing his activities to benefit others. Despite his blindness and old age, his
willingness and spirit to teach never break.
Every afternoon,
Sodikin goes to Babusalam Mosque in Padasuka Village, Siteaeur Village,
Karangpawitan District, Garut Regency, to teach Islam to the children in his
neighborhood. "Every afternoon, my wife takes me to the mosque," said
Ustaz Sodikin to the Global Zakat-ACT Garut Team on Monday (2/7/2022).
Their children
have grown up, so they no longer have to support them. For Ustaz Sodikin, the
meager payment he receives from the mosque is enough for his and his wife’s
daily needs.
“I'm too old to
work. As for the payment from the mosque, it depends on the mosque’s finances.
The amount is uncertain, but, Alhamdulillah, it’s still enough for our daily
needs,” he added.
Global Zakat-ACT
Garut appreciated Ustaz Sodikin's struggle by providing him with living
expenses through the National Movement for Indonesian Muslim Preachers’
Prosperity program. Through this program, it is hoped that it can encourage
Ustaz Sodikin's dedication in preaching around his neighborhood. []
