What Islam Says About Zakat - Part 2 By Sheikh Shady Al-Suleiman

And the believers, men and women, are protecting friends one of another; they enjoin the right and forbid the wrong, and they establish Prayer and pay Zakat, and they obey Allah and His messenger. Allah will have mercy on them. Surely Allah is All Mighty, All Wise. Allah has promised to the believers, men and women, Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide - blessed dwellings in Gardens of Eden. And greater: acceptance from Allah. That is the supreme triumph.

SURAT AL TAWBA VERSES 71-72

What is Zakat?:

Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam. It has been mentioned, along with daily Prayers (Salaat), over seventy times in the Quran. Allah's word commanding ".....and establish regular Salaat and give regular Zakat....." are referred to in many parts of the Quran. From this we can conclude that after Salaat, Zakat is the most important act in Islam.
Just as Salaat is the most important act of worship which has to be performed bodily, so is Zakat the main act of worship which has to be performed monetarily. Those who fulfill this duty have been promised abundant reward in this world and hereafter. Whoever evades Zakat has been sternly warned in the Qur'an and Hadith of the consequences.

The means of purification comes in various forms. All acts of worship constitute a means to rectify ourselves in a process called purification. Adhering to the payment of Zakat purifies the wealth you earn and maintains blessings in your income and property. Learn about this mercy, its guidelines and virtues offered through adhering to the 3rd pillar of Islam. Tune in as Sheikh Shady Al-Suleiman explains how you can make your money work for you!
