Zakat is the third pillar of Islam and a compulsory act of charity for every eligible Muslim. It is not only a financial duty but also a spiritual one, purifying both the giver’s wealth and heart. By giving Zakat, a believer helps those in need while fulfilling an important act of worship commanded by Allah.
Purpose of Zakat
Zakat removes greed, selfishness, and love of wealth from the heart. It reminds Muslims that their wealth is a trust from Allah, and that helping the poor and needy is a responsibility. Giving charity with sincerity earns Allah’s pleasure and increases blessings in life.
