Importance of zakat
Besides the fact that zakat is obligatory act of worship in Islam and that Muslims get
immense blessings by paying zakat, there are other reasons of how zakat is an
important factor of muslim community.

1; helping the community at large

2; money circulate
3; act of sacrificing
Zakat is given at any month of Islam

There is a misconception that you can only pay zakat in the

month of Ramadan. This is not true. A Muslim can pay zakat
anytime of the year. However, it is suggested that if a person
is paying zakat in the first month of the year, he/she should
pay zakat at the same time next year i.e. after the year
finishes. Therefore, you should not wait for Ramadan to pay
your zakat.
Strategies
After studying the topic of zakat and as a Muslim is my personal
responsibility to aware the people who not paying zakat to needy people.
Now I individually plan for this to collect donation and zakat people who
paying and then this amount is paying to people who need.
This amount is collected accordingly sir as discuss in class
