User talk:Annai safiyya trust

One of the most important principles of Islam is that all things belong to God, and that wealth is therefore held by human beings in trust. The word Zakat/charity means both 'purification' and 'growth'. Our possessions are purified by setting aside a proportion for those in need, and, like the pruning of plants, this cutting back balances and encourages new growth.

Zakat is one of the Five pillars and an important Institution of Islam. Zakat is the obligatory tax imposed on Muslims (who are wealthy) by Islamic law to be spent for the welfare of their less fortunate brethren. Zakat is paid @ 2.5% of the Net Balance of the wealth (not on income) after having completed 1 year from the date of acquisition. The personal expenses, family allowances, necessary expenditures, due credits - all are paid first and Zakat is calculated on the net balance only.

Zakah not only purifies the property of the contributor but also purifies his heart from selfishness and greed. It also purifies the heart of the recipient from envy and jealousy, from hatred and uneasiness and it fosters instead good-will and warm wishes for the contributors.

As a result, the Society at large will purify and free itself from class warfare, suspicion and from all such evils. Zakat is a most comforting consolation to the less fortunate people, yet it is a loud appeal to everybody to ROLLUP HIS SLEEVES AND IMPROVE HIS LOT.

* Zakat can be given to :The poor Muslims, to relieve their distress. The needy Muslims, to Supply them with means whereby they can earn their livelihood. * Zakat may be distributed directly to individuals of one or more of the 8 classes prescribed by the Holy Quran, or to welfare organisations which look after them. * It may also be distributed in the form of scholarships to bright and promising MUSLIM students and researchers or in the form of grant to welfare organisations which patronize such causes.
