Purify Your Wealth by Giving Zakat Al Fitr Correctly
ZAKAT AL FITR DONATION
An obligation to help those in need as a form of purification of one’s wealth
Giving Zakat is an obligation decreed by Allah (swt) upon every sane, adult Muslim who owns wealth that exceeds the value of the Nisab. Making a Zakah donation – 2.5% of one’s wealth – is fulfilling a pillar of Islam, and the very foundation of faith. The Arabic word ‘Zakah’ or sometimes pronounced ‘Zakat’, means purification, growth and blessing. Much like how a plant grows healthier and better after being pruned, our wealth is purified and cleansed through the giving of Zakah donations.
In the holy Qur’an, Allah teaches us that giving Zakat is greatly rewarded and a way to obtain His mercy:
“My Mercy extends to all things. That (Mercy) I shall ordain for those who have God-consciousness and give their Zakat and those who believe in Our Signs.” (Surah Al-A`raf 7:156).
As making your Zakah donation is so important, HMD has make it a priority to ensure your zakat goes to those who needs it the most.
