Why It’s Important:
- A Duty and a Blessing:
Giving Zakah is a religious obligation, but it also brings countless blessings to both the giver and the recipient. - Alleviating Poverty:
Zakah directly supports those living in poverty, helping to cover their basic needs, including food, clothing, shelter, and education. - Building Stronger Communities:
By giving Zakah, you help create a society of solidarity, where the wealth of the fortunate is shared with those who are struggling.
Background:
Zakah is typically calculated as 2.5% of one’s savings and assets over the course of a year. It is meant to purify your wealth and redistribute it to those in need, including the poor, orphans, and those affected by crises. This appeal enables you to fulfill your religious duty and make a meaningful impact in the lives of individuals and communities around the world.
