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.......
Paying Zakat is the fourth pillar of Islam. It must be paid if it is due.
its either zakat or zakah. It is an Arabic word written in Arabic as زكاة
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.
The poor and needy.
charity i think
Zakah is obligatory on Muslims who owns wealth equivalent or more the nisab level. It is 85g pure gold or 595g pure silver or money equivalent to gold/silver. Rate of zakah is 2.5% paid yearly, based on lunar year. This is the basics of Zakah. It should given to poor people such a way that the same person do not qualify to receive zakah the following year (not poor enough to receive it). A significant amount should be give to an individual so the person is be able help him/her self. Zakah should be collected by the state or community then given to poor so, that the giver of zakah do not know the receiver of zakah; to ensure the dignity and self-respect of the receiver
A Muslim pays zakah to those in need directly, or through an Islamic organization designated to collect and distribute zakah to eligible recipients. It is typically given to the poor, needy, or those facing financial hardship in the community. Zakah cannot be used for mosques, Islamic institutions, or other charitable causes unless specifically mentioned in Islamic teachings.
iman or faith,salad or prayer,zakah,sawm or fasting,hajj or pilgrimage
because your giving to the poor
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
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.
the Muslims people give zakah to those people who in need...........
