Abstract
Islam is a religion that gives the message of love and
peace. It wants its followers to live in peace and
harmony in the world along with people of other
religions and assist each other in making the world a
better place. It is this motto of making the world a better
place and helping others that Islam emphasizes on
charity.
In Islam, Zakat is the fourth pillar. Zakat refers to
purification in general and purification of wealth in
particular, therefore, those Muslims who have wealth
over a certain ratio, they are liable to pay Zakat on it
and give it to those who are less fortunate and don’t
have sufficient means to live their life in a standard way.
Besides the fact that Zakat is an obligation and
fulfillment of it leads to a Muslim getting reward from
Allah Almighty and intentional swerving from it leads to
a Muslim receiving punishment from Him, there are
other reasons which one can find pertaining to the
importance of Zakat.
1.Helps in Building The Society.
2.Circulation of Money.
3. Develops a Sense of Sacrificing.
