What is Zakah? Zakah is one of the five pillars of Islam and is a duty performed on a regular basis. Zakah is not an option it is a compulsory act for all Muslims. It is a contribution paid once a year on savings of two and a half percent. This giving is to “cleanse” your money and possessions from excessive desire for them or greed. The idea is, that by giving this money you learn not to place too much importance on material wealth (cash and possessions). Zakah is a compulsory payment and is neither charity nor a tax. It is expected from every Muslim individual. It is paid on the net balance after a Muslim has spent on basic necessities, family expenses, due credits, donations and taxes. Zakah provides us with the opportunity of sharing our excess wealth with those less fortunate than ourselves. In fact we and our wealth belong to Allah. He is the real owner and we are merely the trustees of His wealth. We do our duty as trustees if we pay Zakah as an obligatory part of Ibadah. Islam is a complete code of life which includes among other things, the economic side of life. Islam has its own economic principles. Zakah is one of the basic principles of the Islamic economy, based on social welfare and fair distribution of wealth. In addition to the compulsory payment of Zakah, Muslims are encouraged in the Qur’an to make voluntary contributions to help the poor and needy, and for other social welfare purposes. This voluntary contribution is called Sadaqah (Charity). Through the payment of Zakah, the rich share their wealth with the poor and thus the process of concentration of wealth is checked and fair distribution ensured. One of the key concerns that many people have is that any Zakah given reaches the people in need, this means that there is no money kept by a charity for administration etc. Ummah Welfare Trust operate under a 100% donations policy, this means that every single penny reaches the people in need. ‘Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Messenger (Peace be upon him) as saying: If any owner of gold or silver does not pay what is due on him, when the Day of Resurrection would come, plates of fire would be beaten out for him; these would then be heated in the fire of Hell and his sides, his forehead and his back would be cauterized with them. Whenever these cool down, (the process is) repeated during a day the extent of which would be fifty thousand years, until judgment is pronounced among servants, and he sees whether his path is to take him to Paradise or to Hell’ - Sahih Muslim
I lost all money by doing a business in Ksa , since three year I’m struggling here without food and accommodation, my parents , wife daughter everyone living with prayers, nobody to help them and me except god , I cannot leave this country without settlements as well.. pls pray for me.
Recite surah waqia after morning prayers..surah rahma any time in a day..surah yaseen after maghrib and surah mulk before go to bed.. tasbih 1000 times istighfar and 1000 times salawatun Nabi.. pray your obligatory prayers ontime with sunnah prayers before and after pray..tahajjud and salatut dhuha..and then you see my brother how Allah will ease all your problem...ask from Allah tell Allah about your problem...rather then telling your story online...
@@sofiahidayat3171 do you have sources for those specific amounts? People sometimes say to recite this and this certain times for something specific but mostly it's always innovation and not backed up. Yes, prayer, good deeds and dua will always be helpful, but if that was the case no good Muslim would suffer in this world. This Dunya is a test, and sometime we are meant to go through calamity. Obviously Allah always knows best and does what's better
zakat in old arabic means 'to purify' and it was never conjoined with money in any of the verses. saqadat is giving to the poor/unfortunate. dont confuse both. zakat isn't related to giving money. الزَّكاة (الجمع: زَكَوَات) في اللغة بمعنى: النماء والزيادة والبركة والمدح والثناء والصلاح وصفوة الشيء، والطهارة حسية أو معنوية
MashaAllah la hawlaw wa a quwwata illa bila What is meant by 2.5% is that it can be paid throughout the year. However, if you are mor3 genwrous then that is better. That parents can lovk away savings and long term investments. Sharing is caring. Thank you
My point is, why has Islam invested all that Zakat and not given it to the poor? If all the $4 Trillion were given to the poor, 'every poor person in the world' would get the equivalent of $80,000. Why has Islam invested it for a massive profit? Is Islam just a huge money making scam? Will it ever give the money to the poor?
Masha Allah may Allah increase our deen and make us pious taqwa and patience 🤍🤍
Thanks. I’m a Christian but I found this very helpful and interesting.
May Allah reward you for your time and effort. Jazakhallah khair for the short and understandbale lecture you gave on Zakat.

Do you pay tithe in Islam
Do you have to pay zakat or charity if you do not have a job?
No,zakat only obligated if you are financially stable
@@baguserlangga6401 I see. Thanks.
24k gold?
Can Non Muslim offer Zakat as a donation honestly ...
sri raj Why not
do you give money evry day
Its annually I think

If all the $4 Trillion were given to the poor, 'every poor person in the world' would get the equivalent of $80,000.
Why has Islam invested it for a massive profit?
Is Islam just a huge money making scam?
Will it ever give the money to the poor?
the eyeglass is kinda disturbing.
