"Zakat" is a mandatory financial rite, and one of the five pillars of Islam. It must be paid by one who owns wealth or valuables of certain kinds whose values is at least to the limit of Nisab.

"Nisab" means the minimum amount fixed by Islamic shariah for certain kinds of wealth and valuables.

The Five Pillars are known in Arabic as ARKAN AL-ISLAM, the five duties incumbent on every Muslim. They are: shahadah , the Muslim profession of faith; salat , or ritual prayer, performed in a prescribed manner five times each day; zakat, the alms tax levied to benefit the poor and the needy; sawm, fasting during the month of Ramadan; and hajj, the major pilgrimage to Mecca.
