Who is Akhuwat:

Advancing from an authentic and philosophical talk towards a practical model of destitution lightening, Akhuwat was established by Dr. Amjad Saqib in 2001. Before building up Akhuwat, he served in the Civil Services of Pakistan in the District Management Group (DMG). While filling in as the General Manager of the Punjab Rural Support Program (PRSP) he had seen the staggering effect of destitution and was resolved to devote the remainder of his life to decrease the suffering of poor people.He once took his companions to visited a town, Jia Bagga ,to consider the effect of mediation by PRSP. Dr. Kamran Shams and he had a discussion with a nearby lady, asking what has been the effect of the PKR 10,000 advance she took from the PRSP.

She said, "As of now my youths essentially eat one time every day, yet with the credit, I am prepared to oversee them two dinners".

This answer established Dr. Saqib's and his companion's drawn out want to make a microfinance foundation – one where advances were given without interest. He arrived at the resolution that to enable poor people, the best approach forward was not to draw in with them in an undertaking. Maybe, what could inspire them was tremendous help and sympathy.

On the solicitation of Dr. Saqib his companions vowed their help. Because of his past experience in the microfinance business, Dr. Saqib offered to configuration, coordinate and carry out the without interest program. The program, named Akhuwat, would be the first of its sort in the country. This gathering of humanitarians who were later on joined by different companions turned into Akhuwat's first Board of Directors, with Dr. Amjad Saqib filling in as the Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer.

Akhuwat was in the long run dispatched in March 2001. From that point on, Akhuwat embraced Qarz-a-Hasan, a term utilized by the Qur'an that in a real sense means "a lovely advance", as its center technique for microfinance. This idea is an endeavor to reignite the very vow of Mawakhat and an obligation of fortitude that was made because of the Prophet's movement from Makkah to Medina. It depends on the rule that in the event that one has a portion of bread, a big part of it legitimately has a place with a none. Individual. This way of thinking of fortitude is the main impetus behind the entirety of Akhuwat's projects and practices.

Theory – Mawakhat

The possibility of Mawakhat begins before to 622 CE when Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) requested the occupants from Medina (Ansars) to grant half of their belongings to the Muhajirs. who needed to get away from maltreatment from the Quraish and moved from Mecca to Medina. Drawing motivation from the liberality showed by the Ansars, Akhuwat accepts that if a similar methodology, where one well-off family accepts a less lucky one is taken on today, imbalance will be annihilated from the world.

While motivation for the way of thinking of Akhuwat for example Mawakhat comes from a specific confidence, we don't prohibit individuals from different religions. We emphatically have confidence in and practice strict opportunity, resistance, and consideration and the message of fortitude is for all. The entirety of Akhuwat's practices which are roused by this way of thinking include empathy towards others, sharing what you have with the individuals who don't. Everything is done while ensuring that balance of beneficiaries is stayed aware of. In the entirety of our dealings with them, they are treated as family, with most extreme regard and love, similar to one would give their kin.
