 Zakat

obligation for all Muslims who meet the necessary
criteria of wealth. The Zakat system makes sure the
wealth circulation in Society is fair.
Significance of Zakat
• It helps the weak and feeble people of our community
to become self sufficient and lay a stronger
foundation for brotherhood and society.
• It is a type of self sacrifice as well as love of Islam since giving zakat
does not just benefit the poor but also promotes love between
people in Islam.
• Wealth can be donated to poor Muslim families, who could use that
money, for instance, to enjoy Eid like everyone else. The happiness
one would get from doing this would be much greater and much
sweeter than the enjoyment obtained from spending money on
useless or unimportant things.
• Zakat eliminates the gaps and differences between the rich and the
poor in the society. It allows the middle class to thrive.
