Importance of Zakat
What is Zakat?
Zakat is the concept of obligatory charity in Islam. It’s how we give back, out of our own wealth, to those less fortunate. The word ‘Zakat’ comes from the Arabic ‘to purify’, Allah (SWT) says in the holy Quran:
“take from their wealth so that you might purify and sanctify them” (9:103).
By recognising that one’s wealth is a gift from Allah (SWT) and giving away a portion of it to others, a Muslim purifies the rest of his or her wealth from greed and miserliness. In a world of gross social and economic inequality, it is vital for Muslims to uphold the tradition of Zakat. It is a form of worship (ibadah) in terms of wealth.
“Take, [O Muḥammad], from their wealth a charity by which you purify them and cause them increase, and invoke [Allah’s blessings] upon them. Indeed, your invocations are reassurance for them. And Allah is Hearing and Knowing.” Surah At-Tawbah 9:103
