is a compulsory charity
which the rich must give to the poor
and needy.

means giving one
fortieth of ones wealth to the
deserving Muslims once a year.
It is an act of
'Ibadah
, an act of wor-
ship, commanded by Allah.
Muslims give
Zakah
as an act of
obedience to Allah and to gain
Allah's favour and pleasure.
Whoever is miserly and refuses to
pay the
Zakah
will be disobeying a
command of Allah and will deserve
severe punishment.
Allah is the owner of all things.
We and all our wealth belong to
Allah.
The wealth which Allah has given
us must be used in a manner that
pleases Him.
