Allah
says in the Quran: "The
parable of those who spend their
wealth in the way of Allah is that
of a grain of corn. It grows seven
ears and each ear has hundred
grains. Allah increases manifold to
whom He pleases." (Quran
2:261) It is stated in the Hadith
that by giving Zakat the following
benefits are derived:
- Gain the
pleasure of Allah.
- Increase in
wealth and protection from
losses.
- Allah's
forgiveness and blessings.
- Protection from
the wrath of Allah and from a
bad death.
- A shelter on
the Day of Judgment;
- Security from
seventy misfortunes.

| ZAKAT
is one of the five fundamental
pillars of Islam, mandatory on
all muslims who are of
eligible wealth.
Zakat is due from and
payable by a person on his
wealth (and not his income),
which has remained with
him/her for one Islamic year.
It is difficult to calculate the completion of one year on each item of wealth, because purchase dates may vary. To overcome this difficulty, a practical method is to fix a date (e.g. 1st of Ramadhan), compute your total wealth on that date and calculate Zakat, thereon.
