Zakat is one of the Five Pillars of Islam- which means it is VERY important. It is compulsory and The Almighty Allah will be impressed, depending on how often you give Zakat. It's extremely significant because of this reason and Muslims are required to give 2.5% of their income every year to charity or poor.
Zakat or Zakah (which is a kind of ritual charity) is an important pillar of Islam for the following:
Zakat cleanse the souls of the human from stinginess and miserliness and greed, and sympathy for the poor and the poor and needy, and cleansing of money and development and the establishment of the pond
The definition of Zakat:
Zakat in Arabic is derived from Zacchaeus, which means growth and purity and blessing
And is a right that must be in the money of a quorum, for the eight categories set forth in the Book of Allaah
And is the worship of money imposed by God upon His slaves, to purify their souls from miserliness, and sheets hardworking sins
The rule of Zakat: It is an obligation due the Qur'aan and Sunnah and the consensus, fighting Manaha, and expiate Jahdha.

From a theological position, the Qur'an argues that the payment of Zakat is necessary, so it is necessary. From a social perspective, the Zakat was an early form of welfare that allowed Muslim communities to economically viable and close communities.
Paying Zakat is one of the Five pillars of Islam. No Muslim can deny its being obligatory. Therefore, it extremely necessary that Zakat must be paid.
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.
The reason is clear from the box name. Zakah box is for collecting charities and Alms giving that Muslims offer for the mosque to distribute on the poor and needy people as one of the social activities that mosque practices.
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.
Sure, it is important for Muslims and non-Muslims, for males and females, and for the rich and the poor.
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.}
its either zakat or zakah. It is an Arabic word written in Arabic as زكاة
