One of the duties of Islam related to helping the needy is called Zakat. It is a form of almsgiving and is considered one of the Five Pillars of Islam. Muslims are required to give a portion of their wealth—usually 2.5% of their savings—annually to support those in need, emphasizing the importance of charity and social responsibility within the community.
