Zakat 

The literal meaning of Zakah is ‘Taharah [purity]’,it is fundamental & third pillar of Islam and is obligatory for every financially capable Muslim whose income meets or exceeds the prescribed amount by Sharia (Nisaab), in addition to their essential expenses. 

A Monetary Act of Worship

The purpose of Zakat is to ensure that wealth doesn't only circulate among the rich, and needy individuals can fulfill their needs through Zakat. This fosters balance in society and gradually eradicates poverty. However, it is essential for the wealthy not to consider Zakat as a favor to the poor; rather, they are merely fulfilling their obligatory duty as commanded by the Allah Almighty.

 The Holy Quran praises those who perform Zakat donation and condemns those who do not in several blessed Ayahs. To fully appreciate the merits and advantages of giving Zakat and to avoid its potential harms, it is crucial to acquire a thorough understanding of the Shari laws governing Zakat.

Significance of Zakat

The significance of Zakat becomes evident from the fact that Salah and Zakat are mentioned together 32 times in the Holy Quran (Rad-Dul-Muhtar, Kitab-Uz-Zakah, vol. 3, pp. 202). 

Types Of Zakat

There are two types of Zakat:

  1. Zakat of wealth
  2. Zakat of people (i.e., Sadaqa-tul-Fitr) 

There are further two types of Zakat of wealth:

  1. Zakat of gold and silver
  2. Zakat of trade goods and livestock, and the Zakat of cultivated crops and fruits (i.e. Ushr). (Derived from: Bida`i’-us-Sana`i’ fi Tarteeb-ish-Shara`i’, Kitab-uz-Zakah, vol. 2, pp. 75)
