Zakaat
Zakat is considered as one of the basic tenets of the Islamic faith. Its necessity is outlined in the Prophetic Hadith:“Islam is built upon five: to worship Allah and to disbelieve in what is worshiped besides him, to establish prayer, to give Zakat (charity), to perform Hajj pilgrimage to the house, and to fast the month of Ramadan.” (Bukhari)Zakat is the annual charity given by Muslims to those that are less fortunate. Zakat is calculated as 2.5% (1/40) of one’s wealth when the persons collective wealth exceeds a certain amount known as “Nisaab”
The meaning of “Zakat” in Arabic lexicon is “To purify”. Muslims purify themselves and their wealth through giving Zakah.
