it help poor people to have money , it help rich people to leave the love of money , and it refresh the economics because when rich give money to poor people they will buy from the rich people .
yes i am a muslim girl and Islam urges us to help the poor and paying the zakat
zakat
on Muslims it is an obligation to pay zakat ...in other words it purifies our money ...and in this way Muslims also help those who r poor and don't have enough earning to live on ...
every Muslim
No you cann't. Not because she is non Muslim but because she is your maid and you are responsible of her living so she doesn't desrve zakat from you. Also, you can't pay zakat to your father or sons.
Zakat is the Fourth Pillar of Islam. It is also a duty of a Muslim sister or brother. When you donate your Zakat, it will hopefully be distributed to the less fortunate or the poor. It includes: young childern, adults, elderly people, disabled, etc. May Allah (SWT) give blessings to those who give Zakat and help those in need. Ameen.
By directing zakat to helping the poor and needy people, building and operating hospitals, teahing people, buliding mosques, roads, and other services, providing pure water and electricity to people, ... etc
yes the poor people is one of the types that take zakat
Yes and no. In Islam, Zakat (performing charitable acts, helping the poor) is one of the Five Pillars and is required of any Muslim. But while it is certainly commendable to give charity and help the poor, poverty is a global problem and it has a multitude of causes. Of course, performing Zakat can help some poor people; but in a country afflicted with large numbers of poor people, it often takes a bigger strategy, which includes changes in government policy, better education for both boys and girls, and improvements in the economy, to truly reduce poverty.
I m paying zakat almost from fifteen years
Zakat is an obligatory duty for every Muslim if he/she is not poor. The purpose of zakat is so that it ensures that the poor are being given money so they can eat and live. Zakat is at least 2.5% of your annual earnings that should be given. Its a blessing because people are being KIND and HELPFULL to those who are poor and blessing them with food, money, etc.Thus their are very little inconsiderate people.
because all Muslims are not faithful and paying zakat is hard for them. actually they love money more than God.
