Zakat literally means "to be clear, to grow, to increase." It comes from the root to be clean 24:21, 23:4, to pay the obligatory charity, to be pure, innocent (19:19, 18:74), to be better in purity (18:81, 19:13), and to praise oneself, to justify (53:32). It has been used in the Quran to mean all of these things. The literal and simple meaning of Zakah is purity. The technical meaning of the word designates the annual amount in kind or coin which a Muslim with means must distribute among the rightful beneficiaries. But the religious and spiritual significance of Zakah is much deeper and livelier. So is its humanitarian and sociopolitical value.
The meaning of zakat is, buying the love of God. If you pay zakat you will get it seven times more than you paid.
Sure, you can. Zakat is God right that you should pay. You should admit that you were sinful in not paying zakat in its due time, intend not to repeat this sin, repent and ask God forgiveness, and if you can backtrack your zakat and pay them accordingly then do it as soon as possible to gain God satisfaction and forgiveness.
there are two type of Zakat: obligatory Zakat and Mustahab (recommended Zakat). Recommended Zakat is same as non obligatory donations. Syed can receive non obligatory Zakat from all. but obligatory only from Syed.
No, Zakat is not a god. In Islam, we only have one God, and one God only- The Almighty Allah. We worship Him only, no idols. Zakat is one of the Five Pillars of Islam- the others being Sawm, Ramadan, Hajj, Shahadah. Throughout a Muslim's life, they are required to complete all of the Five Pillars- and on The Day of Judgement, Allah will see whether the work is worthy. Zakat means charity or giving, and every year a Muslim is required to give 2.5% of their income to charity, some giving more.
because all Muslims are not faithful and paying zakat is hard for them. actually they love money more than God.

Zakat (زكاة) is very similar to a Christian tithe; it is a percentage income tax that is paid to the mosque for redistribution to poorer Muslims, to maintain the mosque, and to promote Islamic activities. Sunnis typically pay zakat at the 2.5% rate whereas Shiites typically pay zakat at the 10% rate.As for why Muslims pay zakat, they do so because they see giving back to their community as being the will of God and a good deed in its own right.
It was taught by Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of god be upon him).
no a wife cant give zakat or money of zakat to her husband under the masarif of zakat.
It means: paying a kind of charity tax to help the poor. It is the third pillar, and is regarded as a type of worship. They do it to acknowledge that everything belongs to God, and we are only borrowing it.
To deduct zakat from dividend income, first calculate the total dividend received within the zakat year. Zakat is typically set at 2.5% of this total income. After calculating the zakat amount, ensure that any other zakat-eligible assets are also considered, as they may affect the overall zakat obligation. Finally, the calculated zakat should be paid to eligible beneficiaries or charitable organizations.
No zakat on christians but only Muslims.
