Zakah is one of the Five Pillars of Islam, hence voluntary. It is very important to pay Zakah, and those who don't will be punished severely in Hell (according to the Holy Quran). Hope that answers the question.
There are the mandatory zakat which is 2 1/2% of ones yearly savings paid to a masjid or Islamic organization for distribution. Then there is voluntary charity called sadaqat which can be paid to anyone, at any time in any amount. Even a smile of kind deed can be sadat. Then there is zakatul fitr which is the charity given at the end of Ramadan or day of the Eidul Fitr (Feast of Fastbreaking) to purify ones fast and ask that it be accepted. The nisab (amount) is usually $10 per family member. Hope this helps
The Five Pillars are : Shahada (Witness) Salah (Prayer) Zakah (Charity) Sawm (Fasting) Hajj (Pilgrimage)

Zakah is one of the five pillars of Islam and holds great importance for Muslims. It is an obligatory act of giving a portion of one's wealth to those in need. While zakah is significant, it should be viewed in the context of all other Islamic obligations, such as performing prayer, fasting, and obeying the teachings of the Quran and Sunnah. Therefore, it can be said that zakah is an integral part of a Muslim's religious duties, but not necessarily the most important thing.
Salah ( namaz) is the main ritual in islam. Then comes Roza (fasting) and zakah (alms).
i am not sure where zakah is paid, but i guess it is given near the poor becasue as the money is given to the needy.......
Sadaqah is a voluntary act of giving in charity in Islam. It can be given at any time, in any amount, and to anyone in need. It is considered an act of kindness and generosity. On the other hand, Zakah is a mandatory form of giving in Islam, which is a fixed percentage (usually 2.5%) of a Muslim's wealth given annually to specific categories of people in need, as prescribed by Islamic law. Zakah is an obligation for all eligible Muslims, whereas Sadaqah is optional and based on one's own willingness to give.
