It is one of the five pillars of Islam. It tests a Muslims love, compassion and sympathy for his fellow Muslims.
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.
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.

Quran defines who deserve charity (or Zakah) in chapter 9 (Surat Al-Tawba), verse 60, that its meaning English translation says: {Zakah expenditures (or Charity) are only for the poor and for the needy and for those employed to collect [zakah] and for bringing hearts together [for Islam] and for freeing captives [or slaves] and for those in debt and for the cause of Allah and for the [stranded] traveler - an obligation [imposed] by Allah. And Allah is Knowing and Wise.}

Zakah is when Muslims donate money and wealth to charities and good causes. This wealth is not all their life savings or earnings but what money or valuable items (e.g. Jewellery) are left after catering for all your family's needs, for example, money in the bank, or money left n your wallet. Zakah-collectors work out a certain formula using the amount of wealth you have, so not all of it is given away. Muslims do not resent this as they believe that they were only borrowing Allah's items and that they are returning it to him by doing so. It also teaches Muslims to be generous and not selfish. This happens at the end of Ramadam.
It is best that it be given one or two days before the 'Id prayer, meaning that it should be given on the twenty-ninth day of Ramadan onwards; al-Bukhari records, 'They would give Zakah al-Fitr a day or two before the feast of end of the fast (called in Arabic Id al ditr)
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.

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.
