What is jakat in Islam?
The correct spelling for the word is Zakat. Zakat, one of the Five Pillars of Islam, is the giving of a fixed portion of one's wealth to charity, generally to the poor and needy. The zakat is considered by Muslims to be an act of piety through which one expresses concern for the well-being of fellow Muslims, as well as preserving social harmony between the wealthy and the poor. Zakat promotes a more equitable redistribution of wealth, and fosters a sense of solidarity amongst members of the Ummah. I hope my answer is to your liking.
