Title : zakat ( charity )

What is Zakat?

Zakat is one of the Five Pillars of Islam, meaning it is a fundamental obligation for every eligible Muslim.

It is a form of charity that purifies one’s wealth and helps the less fortunate.

Purpose of Zakat :

1. Purifying Wealth

– Zakat cleanses income from any impurity and increases barakah (blessings).

2. Helping the Needy

– It ensures that wealth is shared with those who are struggling.

3. Reducing Wealth Inequality

– It prevents the extreme gap between the rich and the poor.

4. Strengthening Community Bonds

– It fosters kindness, compassion, and social harmony.

Who Can Receive Zakat?

The Quran (Surah At-Tawbah: 60) mentions eight categories of people eligible for zakat:

1. The Poor – Those who have little income.

2. The Needy – Those who are struggling to meet basic needs.

3. Zakat Administrators – Those responsible for distributing zakat.

4. New Muslims (Mu’allaf) – Converts who need support in their new faith.

5. Slaves or Captives – To help free them.

6. Debtors – Those who are unable to pay off debts.

7. For the Cause of Allah – Includes efforts for Islam, such as dawah.

8. Stranded Travelers – Those who are away from home and in need.

Experiencing hunger helps us understand the struggles of the poor, increasing our sense of compassion and encouraging us to be more generous in charity (sadaqah and zakat).

5. Strengthening the Bond with the Quran

Ramadhan is the month when the Quran was revealed. Muslims are encouraged to increase their recitation and understanding of the Quran, strengthening their faith.

6. Enhancing Spiritual Purification

Fasting cleanses not just the body but also the soul, helping to remove arrogance, greed, and negative traits.

7. Improving Health and Detoxification

Scientific studies suggest that fasting helps detoxify the body, improve metabolism, and promote overall well-being.

8. Strengthening Family and Community Bonds

Ramadhan encourages Muslims to spend more time with family and the community, whether through breaking fast together (iftar), praying in congregation (tarawih), or engaging in acts of kindness.

9. Multiplication of Rewards

Good deeds performed in Ramadhan are rewarded many times more than in other months. It’s a golden opportunity to increase worship, charity, and good actions.
